The Vapourtec E-Series has been at the core of a recent paper describing continuous flow chlorine generation. In the exciting paper, the Kappe group of the University of Graz, Austria, has used the Vapourtec E-Series to develop in situ chlorine generation in continuous flow. The group have been able to liberate elemental chlorine in small quantities from common reagents to saturate an organic phase.
The chlorine rich organic phase was used by the Kappe group to chlorinate silanes, oxidise alcohols, and making use of the Vapourtec UV-150 continuous flow photochemical reactor, chlorinate a range of substituted toluenes.
This is a clear demonstration of how flow chemistry can be used to reduce the risks of working with such a potentially hazardous reagent as chlorine, with the easy to use Vapourtec E-Series an ideal system for flow investigations.

An exciting new approach to nickel catalysed C-N coupling has been explored by Corcoran et al. of Professor MacMillan’s group, Princeton University. The new method uses nickel(II) salts that are reduced in situ to nickel(0) under mild conditions using photoredox catalysis.
The Vapourtec UV-150 continuous flow photochemical reactor has been at the heart of the group’s progress in using this new method in continuous flow, resulting in high chemical yields at a fraction of the batch reaction time.

Vapourtec’s UV-150 continuous photochemical reactor has been used in a scale-up of an innovative approach to trifluoromethylation, with exciting results.
Professor Stephenson’s group at Michigan University have developed a photochemical trifluoromethylation method generating CF3 radicals in situ, however the batch scale-up suffered from common barriers such as poor light penetration. Using the Vapourtec UV-150 photochemical reactor a significant increase in yield was observed, demonstrating how the use of a commercial continuous flow photochemical reactor can have significant advantages when applied to novel synthesis.
