Consequently, there is a growing interest in producing these compounds in larger quantities, which increases the importance of chemical synthesis methods. The Wittig reaction is commonly used for the synthesis of these stilbene analogues and can be carried out in a two-phase system using phase-transfer catalysis (PTC). This approach helps to avoid the use of harsh and hazardous bases. In addition, hazardous solvents such as dichloromethane (DCM) are replaced by natural deep eutectic solvents (NADESs), which increases the safety and sustainability of the synthesis. Further improvements in the productivity of the process can be achieved through flow chemistry, which offers safer and less time-consuming production compared to batch processes. In this study, resveratrol analogues were synthetized using two approaches. In the first approach, the reaction was carried out in DCM, and in the second, DCM was replaced by synthetized hydrophobic NADESs to make the process more environmentally friendly. The preliminary results, obtained in a batch reactor, indicated that DCM could be replaced with NADES as a solvent for resveratrol analogues synthesis. To intensify the process, an integrated Wittig-PTC reaction and product separation were performed in a millireactor and two different microseparators (liquid-liquid membrane microseparator Zaiput SEP-10 and 3D printed membrane-free liquid–liquid microseparator) connected in series. In order to enhance conversion and productivity, different process parameters (temperature, residence time, millireactor diameter, and pressure) were tested. After determining the best process conditions, the product-rich DCM/NADES phase was separated using a microseparator. The best conditions for reaction performed in a millireactor using DCM as solvent were a temperature of 40–45 °C, a residence time of 20 min, a millireactor diameter of 1.016 mm, and a pressure of 8 bar where a selectivity of 28.12%, calculated on the <i>trans</i>-isomer, was achieved. By combining the millireactor and the Zaiput microseparator, a complete product-rich DCM phase was separated from the aqueous phase. When DCM was replaced by NADES, a temperature of 40–45 °C and a residence time of 10 min were selected as optimal, resulting in a selectivity of 27.30%. When the millireactor was combined with a 3D printed membrane-free liquid–liquid microseparator, the product-rich NADES phase was separated from the aqueous phase with minor loses.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":630,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Flow Chemistry","volume":"15 2","pages":"99 - 114"},"PeriodicalIF":2.0,"publicationDate":"2025-03-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145162880","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"化学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The interest of pharmaceutical production and similar industries in greater flexibility in reconfiguring synthesis systems motivates the design of increasingly miniature devices, in which mechanical mixing is difficult to apply, while the diffusion mechanism is inefficient. In this paper, using the example of a T-shaped continuous-flow microreactor, we propose to supplement the reaction chamber with a unit that rapidly mixes flowing solutions due to the concentration-capillary mechanism. Two syringe pumps supply a less dense isobutyric acid (<span>(mathrm {C_{3}H_{7}COOH})</span>) aqueous solution to the upper inlet and denser sodium hydroxide (<span>(textrm{NaOH})</span>) aqueous solution to the lower inlet, establishing a stably stratified two-layer system at the reaction chamber entrance. The contact between the solutions triggers a neutralization reaction. At a distance from the entrance, an additional inlet helps to form a gas bubble within the chamber. We show experimentally and numerically that the integration of an air bubble in a channel leads to the excitation of a self-oscillatory process near the air-liquid surface. The convective mixing process occurs in a pulsed mode, which includes a phase of rapid homogenization of the medium and subsequent restoration of heterogeneity by the base flow. We have determined the flow stability map on the plane of solution flow rates. We demonstrate that one can control the activation of convection, which enhances the mixing process, by manipulating the flow rates.</p>","PeriodicalId":630,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Flow Chemistry","volume":"15 1","pages":"59 - 66"},"PeriodicalIF":2.0,"publicationDate":"2025-02-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143571118","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"化学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Therefore, in situ generation remains highly desirable to avoid direct manipulation.

In this context, we developed an efficient process for incorporating a carbon atom from carbon dioxide (CO₂) in an amide compound in less than 5 min thanks to flow chemistry. Indeed, we successfully transformed CO₂ into CO in a column reactor filled with a disilane reductant and cesium fluoride (CsF) catalyst, connected to a microreactor where the CO could be incorporated into an amide through palladium-catalyzed aminocarbonylation. Validation with [13C]CO₂ demonstrated the process's applicability to other carbon isotope.

In particular, miniaturization poses high challenges on temperature measurement due to increased heat transfer. Despite the high relevance of this topic, there are only few publications dealing with accurate inline temperature measurement in flow chemistry and no studies examining the influence of the installation of the temperature sensor on the actual measured temperature. This work deals with inline temperature measurement using a conventional Pt100 sensor with 1.6 mm outer diameter and 20 mm measuring length in a T-piece in a continuous flow reactor on the micro-scale. The issue of heat loss in the T-piece is illustrated in a computational fluid dynamics CFD simulation. The T-piece temperature and the corresponding temperature measured by the Pt100 sensor in an insulated and not insulated T-piece are simulated and compared with experimental data. Moreover, different insert positions and orientations of the Pt100 sensor are simulated and discussed. The extensive CFD simulations demonstrate that using the side-on position of the Pt100 within an insulated T-piece leads to the most precise temperature measurements. Furthermore, the study shows that tilting of the Pt100 inside the T-piece has almost no influence on the temperature measurement as long as the measuring section of the Pt100 is fully inserted. Based on these results, a best practice approach for inline temperature measurement in micro-scale continuous flow reactors is presented for minimal measurement error.</p><h3>Graphical Abstract</h3><div><figure><div><div><picture><source><img></source></picture></div></div></figure></div></div>","PeriodicalId":630,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Flow Chemistry","volume":"15 1","pages":"47 - 58"},"PeriodicalIF":2.0,"publicationDate":"2025-01-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://link.springer.com/content/pdf/10.1007/s41981-024-00341-0.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143571140","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"化学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Two cases are evaluated: First, a high annual production dedicated plant, designed on the basis of processing 100,000 kg of the principal raw material per year, where raw materials cost, catalyst cost, and catalyst activity maintenance are varied over a broad range for typical industrial cases. Second, a “short campaign” model for a small volume production trial setup designed for the manufacture of only 100 kg of the final product, as a way to evaluate relevant industrial scenarios of scale-up and process development. A comparison is made between slurry batch, catalyst basket batch reactor and fixed bed continuous reactor manufacturing facilities. The hydrogenation of 2,4-dinitrotoluene was chosen as a probe reaction for the development of the manufacturing processes, with costs of the key raw material varying between $5 and $100 per kilogram, costs of catalyst varying between $100 and $1,500 per kilogram, and catalyst activity maintenances varying between 1,000 and 2,000,000 total turnovers before a change in catalyst load is necessary. For low catalyst activity maintenance, the total manufacturing costs for the fixed bed reactor process were always found to be higher than those of the two other alternatives. As catalyst activity maintenance increases, the manufacturing costs for the continuous alternative rapidly fall, reaching savings between 37 and 75% compared to the base batch reactor case, depending on the combination of costs of the key raw material and catalyst used.</p><h3>Graphical Abstract</h3><div><figure><div><div><picture><source><img></source></picture></div></div></figure></div></div>","PeriodicalId":630,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Flow Chemistry","volume":"15 1","pages":"21 - 38"},"PeriodicalIF":2.0,"publicationDate":"2025-01-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://link.springer.com/content/pdf/10.1007/s41981-024-00342-z.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143570989","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"化学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
