As part of our on-going research into flow chemistry, we routinely develop new techniques and processes that improve on traditional chemical synthesis methods, particularly when high temperatures or pressure are needed. We also tend to use flow methods to contain unpleasant reagents or hazardous intermediates that may present safety issues during conventional batch mode operations. As a result, we have developed several useful methods for use in flow chemistry that improve on traditional methods considerably, these include:
- Synthesis of azides in flow
- Curtius rearrangements in flow
- Fluorination reactions in flow
