Sygnature Discovery describes how the FlowSyn reactor allowed them to perform hazardous chemistries in a controlled manner.
The FlowSyn technology, with a Uniqsis GAM IIgas-liquid reactor, has allowed laboratory scientists at Sygnature Discovery to develop high pressure reaction protocols.
These protocols have enabled them to reproducibly perform carbonylation chemistries under continuous flow through conditions.
Dr Daniel Hamza, a senior research chemist at Sygnature Discovery said: “The option to use a gas addition module has opened up a multitude of gas-liquid reaction chemistries that we can perform using our FlowSyn system.”
He added: “The ability to add on new reactors to the existing set-up is of particular benefit since the latest technology can be easily incorporated into our synthetic plans.”
“Flow chemistry offers many advantages over traditional batch processing methods notably better reproducibility and scalability as well as enhanced safety, particularly with hazardous reactions such as nitration and carbonylation.”
