Abstract

Flow Chemistry as Enabling Technology for Introducing Sustainability in Chemical Synthesis

Renzo Luisi, Professor of Organic Chemistry, University of Bari

Flow chemistry is becoming widely recognized as an enabling technology for the development of less impactful synthetic processes. From laboratory to industrial scale production, flow technology is changing the way synthetic chemists perform reactions and plan their synthesis. In this context, the use of flow technology and microreactors for the development of new synthetic strategies using highly polar organometallic reagents represents an endless research area. The continuous flow preparation of valuable and unprecedented heterocycles, fluorinated scaffolds as well as new sulfur isosteres will be the topic of this communication.
