A universal multistage cascade CSTR has been developed that is suitable for a wide range of continuous-flow processes. Coined by our group the "Freactor" (free-to-access reactor), new reactor integrates efficiency pipe-flow processing with advanced mixing CSTR, delivering general "plug-and-play" platform which well-suited to multiphasic chemistry. Importantly, geometry easily customized accommodate reactions requiring long residence times (≥3 h tested).

A new, dynamic diastereomeric crystallization method has been developed, in which the mother liquors are continuously separated, racemized over a fixed-bed catalyst, and recirculated to crystallizer resolution–racemization–recycle (R3) process. Separating racemization from overcomes problems of using catalysts situ, that suffer conflicting sets conditions, inhibition, separation. Continuous achieved through covalent attachment [IrCp*I2]2 SCRAM catalyst Wang resin solid support give catalyst....

A low-energy, high-selectivity approach to the catalytic hydrodeoxygenation of phenols is reported using batch or continuous flow methods react 3 equiv phenol with cyanuric chloride then hydrogenolyzing triarylcyanurate intermediate give deoxo aromatic. The use compares favorably existing activation methods, showing improved scalability, atom efficiency, and economics. scope both hydrogenolysis stages are explored lignin-related phenols. Initial development has identified that stir tank...
