09:45 | Renaissance of Traditional Transformations Under Microfluidic Conditions: Practical Synthesis of Biofunctional Natural Products Katsunori Tanaka, Associate Chief Scientist, RIKEN, Advanced Science Institute, Japan
Our microfluidic examples provoke the need to reinvestigate the traditional but notorious transformations, which have so far been evaluated only in batch apparatus. We report a new strategy in synthesizing the biologically important natural products in a practical and industrial manner. |
10:30 | Coffee Break and Networking |
11:15 | Microfluidic Reaction Engineering of Metal Based Nanomaterials Syntheses Saif Khan, Associate Professor, Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering, National University of Singapore, Singapore
We present reaction engineering approaches for continuous-flow gold-based nanomaterials syntheses, which leverage the salient features of microfabricated chemical reactors in enabling remarkably controlled multi-phase fluid contacting and spatially and temporally controlled mass transfer processes. |
12:00 | Continuous Flow With Heterogeneous Catalysts Toward Truly Efficient Organic Synthesis Shu Kobayashi, Professor, Tokyo University, Japan
Several examples of continuous flow systems with heterogeneous catalysts for organic synthesis including selective reduction, oxidation, and asymmetric C-C bond-forming reactions will be described. |

14:15 | Improving the Flow With In Situ, Real Time Analytics Chai Chien, Product Manager, Mettler-Toledo Autochem, Singapore
Continuous flow chemistry is a relatively new development method for compound generation outside of the chemical and petroleum industries. This presentation focuses on the application of in situ FTIR in continuous flow and the value it brings as a real time reaction information and optimization tool. |
15:00 | Microflow Photochemistry - The 'New' Photochemistry of the Future? Michael Oelgemöller, Associate Professor, James Cook University, Australia
|
15:45 | Coffee Break and Networking |
16:00 | Better Chemical Process Through Lab-on-a-Chip Microreactors Dong Pyo Kim, Yonsan Chaired Professor, Pohang University of Science And Technology (POSTECH), Korea South
Resistant Lab-on-a-chip microchemical systems fabricated from PDMS, polyimide (PI) film and functional inorganic polymers are demonstrated for various chemical syntheses of organic, polymer and inorganic substances. |
16:45 | Adventures Towards Greener Continuous Flow Chemistry Ken Lee, Senior Lecturer, Singapore Polytechnic, Singapore
Our group is engaged in continuous flow chemistry, enabling technologies that will provide greener alternatives to the existing chemical syntheses. In this presentation, an overview of our work on ultrasound-assisted and dual Pd-Cu reactor continuous flow chemistries will be provided. |
