Continuous Flow Synthesis Enabling Reaction Discovery

Paper abstract picture

Date: 16 April 2024 | Category: News

We highly recommend a recent publication by the Baumann group and Ley group, reviewing the role flow chemistry can have in new reaction discovery compared to batch chemistry. This review focuses specifically on four types of chemical processes – photochemistry, electrochemistry, high temperature reactions, and reactive intermediate reactions – where continuous flow has led to the discovery of many new reactions and reactivity patterns.
