Continuous Flow Technology as an Enabler for Innovative Transformations Exploiting Carbenes, Nitrenes, and Benzynes
Kian Donnelly, Marcus Baumann
Abstract
Miniaturization offered by microreactors provides for superb reaction control as well as excellent heat and mass transfer. By performing chemical reactions in microreactors or tubular systems under continuous flow conditions, increased safety can be harnessed which allows exploitation of these technologies for the generation and immediate consumption of high-energy intermediates. This Synopsis demonstrates the use of flow technology to effectively exploit benzynes, carbenes, and nitrenes in synthetic chemistry programs.
