Upgrading of Bio-Sourced Platform Molecules Using Flow ChemistryWednesday, 7 February 2018 at 12:05 Add to Calendar ▼2018-02-07 12:05:002018-02-07 13:05:00Europe/LondonUpgrading of Bio-Sourced Platform Molecules Using Flow ChemistryFlow Chemistry Europe 2018 in Cripps Court, Magdalene College, Cambridge, UK Cripps Court, Magdalene College, Cambridge, UK SELECTBIOenquiries@selectbiosciences.com This lecture illustrates our work in flow chemistry with bio-sourced platform molecules. Selected examples deal with the upgrading of biomass-derived small platform molecules, and in particular the implementation of a deoxydehydration (DODH) reaction of glycerol towards allyl alcohol under continuous-flow conditions. The combination of a unique reactive dynamic feed solution approach and short exposure time to high temperature gave high yield and excellent selectivity. Other polyols are also studied. The second part of the lecture illustrates our effort for the continuous-flow production of glycerol carbonate using low environmental footprint processes. Boosting Multistep Synthetic Organic Chemistry with Corning® Advanced-Flow ReactorsWednesday, 7 February 2018 at 09:20 Add to Calendar ▼2018-02-07 12:05:002018-02-07 13:05:00Europe/LondonUpgrading of Bio-Sourced Platform Molecules Using Flow ChemistryFlow Chemistry Europe 2018 in Cripps Court, Magdalene College, Cambridge, UK Cripps Court, Magdalene College, Cambridge, UK SELECTBIOenquiries@selectbiosciences.com In this lecture, we will discuss some of the most fascinating aspects of multistep continuous-flow chemistry using continuous mesofluidic reactors for the synthesis of high-value added organic targets. Selected examples include the preparation of active pharmaceuticals via unstable intermediates, and illustrate the photochemical generation and use of singlet oxygen. |
