- reaction conditions are mandatory in order to succeed. The flow synthesis of the high profile antimalaria agent artemisinin (55) was reported by the Seeberger group in 2012 [61][62]. This intriguing approach represents one of the few examples where photochemistry has been employed in the synthesis of a
- pharmaceutical. For this endeavour dihydroartimisinic acid (56), an advanced building block that is available via chemoselective batch reduction of bioengineered artemisinic acid (57), was chosen as the starting point. The key transformations to yield artemisinin thus demanded a reaction cascade including a
- to enable the remaining reaction cascade to take place in a subsequent thermal reactor unit. After off-line purification by silica gel chromatography and crystallisation artemisinin was isolated in 39% yield equating to an extrapolated productivity of approximately 200 g per day. More recently

- bond engenders these compounds with a range of important biological functions, most notably, antimalarial and antitumor activity (e.g., artemisinin, yingzhaosu A and merulin C) [1][2][3][4]. From a synthetic standpoint, the installation of the endoperoxide moiety presents a significant challenge due to
- its susceptibility to reduction and for this reason, is ideally introduced late-stage in target-oriented synthesis. Additionally, many endoperoxide natural products possess architecturally complex frameworks (e.g., artemisinin, yingzhaosu A, muurolan-4,7-peroxide) [5] that pose significant synthetic

- efficiency of the triple-channel microreactor. The product of this reaction is an allyl hydroperoxide alcohol that is used in the synthesis of artemisinin-derived antimalarial 1,2,4-trioxanes [48]. The reaction in the triple-channel and in batch was carried out as aforementioned with methylene blue as

From a synthetic point of view, the preparation of the pharmacophore, the central 1,2,4-trioxane ring system, is possible by a number of strategies [9][10]. We, for example, have previously reported the use of the
