Diels–Alder reactions of myrcene using intensified continuous-flow reactors

Diels–Alder reactions of myrcene using intensified continuous-flow reactors

This work describes the Diels-Alder reaction of the naturally occurring substituted butadiene, myrcene, with a range of different naturally occurring and synthetic dienophiles. The synthesis of the Diels-Alder adduct from myrcene and acrylic acid, containing surfactant properties, was scaled-up in a plate-type continuous-flow reactor with a volume of 105 mL to a throughput of 2.79 kg of the fin...

Sustainable Production of Pharmaceutical Drugs Using Continuous Flow Reactors

The current trend in the pharmaceutical industry is towards continuous flow processes. The objective of this project is to provide the pharmaceutical industry with a technology roadmap to implement continuous flow processes to their manufacturing operations. Reducing economic and environmental costs is the driving force behind this trend. Continuous flow technology can produce a cheaper better ...

Towards Integrated Continuous-Flow Chemical Reactors

A device for rapid mixing of two solutions is presented. As the main mechanism for mixing is diffusional mass transport, the ̄ow has to be split into several laminae which are narrower than the capillary width. Complete mixing is achieved within a few seconds in a ̄ow-through device with a channel system that is 600mm wide at its narrowest spot.

Asymmetric reactions in continuous flow

An overview of asymmetric synthesis in continuous flow and microreactors is presented in this review. Applications of homogeneous and heterogeneous asymmetric catalysis as well as biocatalysis in flow are discussed.
