Slide 2Reaction Analytics Inc. ©2011 Flow Chemistry Opens Doors Scale-up microwave chemistry –Similar temp (250 C) under pressure Manage hazardous reactions –Dilute products in “closed” volume Perhaps a path to “new” chemistry –“Click Chemistry” –Reaction under Critical Fluid conditions

Slide 3Reaction Analytics Inc. ©2011 Flow Chemistry Pitfalls Heterogeneous Chemistry Precipitates Addition and removal of catalysts Dilute reaction concentration Variations in Reactor Design to accommodate chemistry requirements And more you can think of…

Slide 4Reaction Analytics Inc. ©2011 How Flow Can Work Discrete – Reaction Segments Reaction Solvent as Mobile Phase Components mixed on sample tray Mixture injected to Solvent Flow Fluorescent Spacer between segments Continuous – reagents flow with the solvent directly through the reactor Spacer Rxn Segment Spacer Rxn Segment

Slide 5Reaction Analytics Inc. ©2011 Flow Chemistry What If’s …Workflow could support process screening AND continuous production …Samples with analytical results are available for every reaction …Hardware and software are robust and serviceable …the Flow Reactor is easily optimized to the chemistry

Slide 6Reaction Analytics Inc. ©2011 iChem for Batch iChemExplorer uses vials as reactors and the HPLC to automate sample prep, collection and analysis
