Read the publication that featured this abstractHerein are reported initial efforts to develop a generally accessible flow process, applying a heterogenous nanocatalyst to aqueous micelle-enabled Suzuki–Miyaura coupling reactions. Also disclosed is a new engineering solution (i.e., a self-draining back pressure regulator), which, when applied, enabled 1.5 hours of continuous operation leading to the production of 20 grams of a pharmaceutical intermediate.
