Abstract
An integrated undergraduate teaching laboratory experiment was developed by applying an automated robot, a 48-well plate, and continuous flow chemistry in a typical SNAr reaction. This experiment involved the concepts of green chemistry, homogeneous reaction, continuous flow chemistry and intelligent chemistry, encouraging students to determine the optimal flow synthesis conditions independently. By engaging in this experiment, students gain hands-on experience with modern chemical engineering practices and learn to appreciate the efficiency and sustainability of continuous flow processes.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Chemical Education is the official journal of the Division of Chemical Education of the American Chemical Society, co-published with the American Chemical Society Publications Division. Launched in 1924, the Journal of Chemical Education is the world’s premier chemical education journal. The Journal publishes peer-reviewed articles and related information as a resource to those in the field of chemical education and to those institutions that serve them. JCE typically addresses chemical content, activities, laboratory experiments, instructional methods, and pedagogies. The Journal serves as a means of communication among people across the world who are interested in the teaching and learning of chemistry. This includes instructors of chemistry from middle school through graduate school, professional staff who support these teaching activities, as well as some scientists in commerce, industry, and government.
