Objective

The greater acceptance and wider adoption of flow chemistry for synthesis and as a continuous processing tool by both industry and academia is having a profound effect on the way we design, conduct and think about new chemistries. Initially flow chemistry was mainly applied in order to address challenges in synthesis regarding safe scaling and permitting access to broader processing regimes, such as higher temperature and pressure operating conditions. However, with increasing access to direct in-line monitoring/optimisation and more efficient downstream work-up and purification the ability to perform more complex multi-step synthesis in telescoped format has become increasingly popular. In this presentation we evaluate some of the reactions classes and new chemical processes which have developed within our laboratory aimed at delivering specific target molecules
