This work describes an innovative catalytic process for aqueous trimethoprim degradation, using a fixed-bed continuous flow reactor packed with a manganese(III) meso-substituted porphyrin covalently immobilized functionalized aminopropyl silica gel as the catalyst and H2O2 as a g...

Despite the progress of alternative/renewable energy technologies (solar, wind, hydroelectric, geothermal, nuclear, hydrogen, bio, tidal and wave), still the fossil raw materials such as petroleum (crude oil), natural gas and coal remain the main source of energy. The major const...

We report a continuous flow approach generating bicyclic cyclobutanes from unactivated alkenes in a metal-free manner that is inspired by the Kochi-Salomon reaction. A filtered Hg-lamp in combination with a simple flow set-up and acetone as UV light-absorbing co-solvent are cruci...

The continuous flow telescoped synthesis of 1,1-cyclopropane aminoketones was achieved by optimizing the photocyclization of 1,2-diketones to 2-hydroxycylobutanones (HCBs) and their reaction with aryl- and alkylamines, via tandem condensation C4-C3-ring contraction reaction. With...

We show that the organic cofactor riboflavin provides a cheap and atom‐efficient source of reducing equivalents to sustain biocatalytic alkene reductions by ene‐reductase enzymes, when coupled with a H2‐driven or electrochemical recycling system. We employ the robust NiFe h...
