Residence time distribution in flow reactors for solid phase synthesis

Flow reactors for Solid phase synthesis (SPS) have gained attention, as they appear to be more efficient than the widely used stirred tanks. In either Packed Bed (PBR) or Loose Bed Reactors (LBR) configurations, the theoretical description of such platforms is limited. This study...

Process Intensified Continuous Flow Synthesis of Propofol

This work presents a significantly improved and scaled continuous flow process for the synthesis of Propofol (2,6-diisopropylphenol), a WHO-essential anaesthetic agent. Building upon previous research, the two-step synthesis featuring a Friedel-Crafts bisalkylation of 4-hydroxybe...

Photoactive PFA Coating through Fluorophilic Interactions for Continuous Flow Photochemistry

The design of flow reactors for heterogeneous photocatalysis is key to enhancing the control, efficiency, and scalability of chemical reactions. However, conventional designs such as slurry reactors and fixed bed reactors often suffer from poor light penetration, challenging cata...

Comparative photochemical flow synthesis of ketenimines via Hg-lamp and UV-C LED irradiation

The use of novel UV-C LEDs emitting monochromatic light at 265 nm is reported for the continuous flow synthesis of ketenimines from isoxazoles. The resulting flow process is compared to the use of a traditional Hg-lamp showing that substantial improvements in reaction performance...
