A flow process for the multi-step synthesis of the alkaloid natural product (±)-oxomaritidine is described, mediated through the use of microfluidic pumping systems that progress material through various packed columns containing immobilized reagents, catalysts, scavengers or catch and release agents; our route involves the combination of seven separate synthetic steps linked into one continuous sequence utilizing flow chemistry.
