Oxidation Chemistry Using Continuous Flow Technology Webinar
Flow chemistry is one of the hottest topics in organic chemistry today. The number of scientific articles published on this topic every year is rapidly increasing and 20 out of the top 20 Pharmaceutical companies are continuing to invest significantly in flow technology. Today, ThalesNano is proud to present an exciting webinar featuring oxidation - one of the most fundamental reactions in organic synthesis.
The webinar will feature an introduction to flow chemistry and focus on how ozonolysis and reactions using O2 can be performed safely and selectively in minutes.
The webinar is free! Only a short registration is required. The link to the registration page can be found at the bottom of the page
Catalysis in Flow: Selective oxidaton of alcohols
Presenter: Dr. K. K. (Mimi) Hii, Imperial Collage
Mimi’s presentation will highlight a safe, practical and selective process for the aerobic oxidation of alcohols to aldehydes and ketones that has been developed using an Ru catalyst in a continuous flow reactor. Benzylic and allylic alcohols are oxidised selectively to their corresponding aldehydes and ketones, including substrates containing N- and S-heteroatoms. The rate of turnover is compatible with that previously reported using batch or microchannel reactors under optimised conditions. A preliminary kinetic model is derived that is supported by experimental observations. Last but not least, tandem oxidation–olefination may be achieved without the need to isolate the alcohol intermediate or to switch solvent.
Ozonolysis under Continuous Flow Conditions
Presenter: Dr. Toma N. Glasnov, University of Graz
Toma’s presentation will feature several important types of ozonolysis reactions that have been performed in a continuous flow device that is able to perform both the ozonolysis and quenching steps in flow mode. This technique allows safe and scalable ozonolysis reactions to be performed on a laboratory scale.
