Q/A Session

From Batch to Continuous Flow Processing: Development of Safe and Improved Methods for Aerobic Oxidation
Alain Favre-Reguillon, Associate Professor, University of Lyon

This talk will highlight the advantages of continuous flow gas-liquid processes for aerobic oxidation of aldehydes and alcohols. The simple experimental setup in combination with the benefits given by continuous flow technology, including safety, renders the procedure synthetically very interesting and we will show that high throughput screening of experimental conditions resulted in the development of improved protocols.

Q/A Session

Flow Chemistry Today: Towards Multistep (Enzymatic) Processes
Floris Rutjes, Professor, Radboud University Nijmegen

The talk will focus on the integration of additional unit operations in a single flow system,including extraction (workup) and subsequent reaction steps to create multistep processes. Several examples will be discussed, such as enzymatic cascades, or reactions in which enzymes are combined with conventional reaction steps.

Scalability of Multiphase Transport Processes using Advanced Flow Reactors
Simon Kuhn, Associate Professor, Katholieke Universiteit Leuven

This talk will present a detailed experimental heat and mass transfer study of micro- and milli-scale reactors to predict the scalability of heat and mass transfer coefficients across several orders of length scale. Furthermore, a modelling strategy based on computational fluid dynamics (CFD) will be presentated which enables further design improvements of advanced flow reactors.

Process Intensification Utilizing High-Temperature/Pressure Flow Chemistry
C. Oliver Kappe, Professor and Scientific Director, Center for Continuous Flow Synthesis and Processing, University of Graz

In this talk, the execution of a number of synthetically valuable organic transformations in a high-temperature/high-pressure continuous flow format will be described, including monophasic and multiphasic (liquid/liquid, gas/liquid) processing conditions. This presentation will also focus on Chemistry examples which includes the formation of heterocycles, transition metal-catalyzed C-C couplings, and several reduction and oxidation processes that can safely be conducted in a continuous flow environment.
