Spotlight on Peptide Synthesis in Miami talk
Date: 08 November 2018 | Category: News
Vapourtec MD and founder Duncan Guthrie will be taking to the stage to deliver a presentation about continuous flow Peptide Synthesis at the forthcoming 7th Flow Chemistry Congress in Miami, Florida (12-13 November).
Vapourtec will also be using the event to showcase and demonstrate their E-Series flow chemistry system, UV-150 photochemical reactor and the recently launched and well received Ion, a pioneering electrochemical reactor that will lead to more efficient, precise, consistent, and scalable electrochemical synthesis

The future of electrochemistry with the Vapourtec Ion
Date: 10 October 2018 | Categories: Headline News, News
Vapourtec has developed the Ion electrochemical reactor, a pioneering electrochemical reactor that will lead to more efficient, precise, consistent, and scalable electrochemical synthesis offering potential routes for novel compounds and building blocks together with possible new manufacturing processes.
Generating non-stabilised diazo compounds photochemically
Date: 10 October 2018 | Category: News
Here we present our latest application note: Synthesis of a pharmaceutical intermediate by cross-coupling with non-stabilised diazo compounds.
Aryl-alkyl cross-couplings represent one of the most important strategies available in synthesis. The use of continuous flow for aryl-alkyl cross-coupling has previously been mostly restricted to metal-catalysed methods; the Suzuki-Miyaura coupling, for example. This application note is based on a method published by Prof. Steven Ley and his group at the University of Cambridge, which uses a UV-150 continuous flow photochemical reactor, equipped with a 9 Watt, 310 nm low pressure mercury lamp to safely access highly reactive diazo compounds.
