Flash chemistry: flow chemistry that cannot be done in batch

Flash chemistry: flow chemistry that cannot be done in batch.

Flash chemistry based on high-resolution reaction time control using flow microreactors enables chemical reactions that cannot be done in batch and serves as a powerful tool for laboratory synthesis of organic compounds and for production in chemical and pharmaceutical industries.

Flash Chemistry: Fast Chemical Synthesis in Flow Microreactors

The length of time that the solution remains inside the reactor channels—the residence time—can be greatly reduced by adjusting the length of the channels in flow microreactors. This feature is extremely useful in controlling reactive species. Unstable short-lived reactive species can be generated and transferred to another location to be used in the next reaction before they decompose. Therefo...

Chemistry in flow systems

The environment in which synthesis is conducted has hardly changed over the last centuries: reactions are still typically performed batchwise in standardized glassware which has commonly been in use since the time of Justus von Liebig. In contrast, the use of flow-through processes is still rather restricted to the production site. Only recently have chemists in industry as well as in academia ...
