Continuous Flow Synthesis of Organic Electronic Materials : Case Studies in Methodology Translation and Scale-up

Added on:
19 Nov, 2012

The continuous flow synthesis of functional thiophene derivatives was examined. Methodology for the lithiation of thiophene building blocks was developed using a commercial bench-top flow reactor. In addition, the advantages of flow processing were demonstrated in the synthesis of a high performance organic dye in gram scale.
