Synthesis of metal–organic frameworks by continuous flow

Synthesis of nanomaterials by continuous-flow microfluidics: a review.

The development of controlled synthesis protocols of nanostructured materials with tailored particle size and shape has been a significant research area in nanoscience and nanotechnology. Much innovative research efforts had been focused on finding suitable chemical reagents and synthetic methodologies that offer opportunities to produce the desired structure-function controlled nanomaterials. ...

Recent advances in carbon dioxide capture with metalorganic frameworks

Uncontrolled massive release of the primary greenhouse gas carbon dioxide (CO2) into atmosphere from anthropogenic activities poses a big threat and adversely affects our global climate and natural environment. One promising approach to mitigate CO2 emission is carbon capture and storage (CCS), in which ideal adsorbent materials with high storage capacity and excellent adsorption selectivity ov...

Continuous flow synthesis of conjugated polymers.

A selection of conjugated polymers, widely studied in organic electronics, was synthesised using continuous flow methodology. As a result of superior heat transfer and reagent control, excellent polymer molecular mass distributions were achieved in significantly reduced reaction times compared to conventional batch reactions.

Multistep Continuous-Flow Synthesis of (–)-Oseltamivir

A continuous-flow synthesis of (–)-oseltamivir composed of five flow units was accomplished. In each unit, the following reactions proceed efficiently: (1) a diphenylprolinol silyl ether mediated Michael reaction, (2) a domino reaction of Michael and intermolecular Horner– Wadsworth–Emmons reactions, (3) protonation, (4) epimerization, and (5) reduction of a nitro group to an amine. (–)-Oseltam...
