| | 08:00 | Registration | 09:00 | Inauguration | | Session 1: Flow Chemistry for Industrial Scale & API Synthesis / Session Chair: Dr. P V Srinivas |
| | 09:30 | | Keynote Presentation The Use of Continuous Flow Technology Towards the Synthesis of APIs C. Oliver Kappe, Professor and Scientific Director, Center for Continuous Flow Synthesis and Processing, University of Graz, Austria
This presentation will highlight studies in the field of continuous flow processing. Emphasis will be given to highly atom efficient and process intensified chemical transformations useful for the synthesis of APIs or key intermediates that are often too hazardous to be executed in a batch reactor. |
