What is flow chemistry?
Flow reactors can achieve homogeneous mixing and uniform hea6ng in microseconds
Improved Mixing Compared to Batch
Improved mixing can lead to improved reac6on 6mes, especially with fixed bed reactors
Improved Mixing = Faster Rxn Time
• Microreactors have higher surface-‐to-‐volume raRo than macroreactors, heat transfer occurs rapidly in a flow microreactor, enabling precise temperature control.
Yoshida, Green and Sustainable Chemical Synthesis Using Flow Microreactors, ChemSusChem, 2010
Enhanced Temperature Control
Exothermic Chemistry – LiBr Exchange
• Batch experiment shows temperature increase of 40°C. • Flow shows little increase in temperature.
Ref: Thomas Schwalbe and Gregor Wille, CPC Systems
Exothermic ReacRons
Batch Heated Rxns • Safety concerns, especially in scale
up • Microwave technology is fastest
way of heaRng solvent in batch
Flow Heated Rxns • Flow mimics microwave’s rapid
heat transfer • Solvent is not limited to dipole • Higher pressures and
temperatures possible • High pressures allow use of low
boiling point solvents for easy workup
• Safety improvement as small amount is reacted, conRnuously
Endothermic ReacRons
Where is flow chemistry applied best?
Exothermic Reactions • Very good temperature control • Accurate residence time control • Efficient mixing • Less chance for thermal run-away • Higher productivity per volume • High selectivity
Endothermic Reactions • Control over T, p and residence time • High selectivity • Accessing new chemistry • Higher productivity per volume • High atom efficiency
Reactions with gases • Accurate gas flow regulation • Increased safety • Easy catalyst recycling • High selectivity • Higher productivity per volume
Scale up
• Increased safety • Higher productivity per volume • Selectivity • Reproducibility

Making Azide Chemistry Safer
Diazonium salts and diazo coupling
• Most aromatic diazonium salts are not stable at temperatures above 5°C
• The synthesis reaction to prepare the diazonium salt is typically exothermic, producing between 65 and 150 kJ/mole and is usually run industrially at sub-ambient temperatures
• Diazonium salts decompose exothermically, producing between 160 and 180 kJ/mole
• Many diazonium salts are shock-sensitive
