Chemistry in flow systems II
Editor: Prof. Andreas Kirschning
Leibniz Universität Hannover
This is the second Thematic Series on chemistry in flow systems. Flow chemistry is an enabling technology that was introduced to the laboratories of synthetic organic chemists around ten years ago and has flourished now for about half a decade. This series contains representative examples of fields in organic synthesis where continuous flow conditions have already made a significant impact. First of all, there is the application to photochemistry, which has the chance of experiencing a renaissance particularly in an industrial environment. Second, flow chemistry lends itself naturally to the synthesis and direct application of reactive intermediates or reactive reagents, which are difficult to handle in a batch reactor. And third, new heating concepts, including inductive heating, are rendered possible, allowing accelerated synthesis under pressure, up to supercritical conditions, but whereby only a small volume of the reaction mixture inside the flow reactor is exposed to these extreme conditions.
