Flow chemistry is typically used to enable challenging reactions which are difficult to carry out in conventional batch equipment. Our aim is to use flow chemistry (i) to improve the reaction efficiency, (ii) to enable gas-liquid reactions, (iii) to carry out hazardous chemistry (e.g. explosive regime) and (iv) to streamline multistep reaction sequences in an uninterrupted and automated fashion which requires no intermediate handling.
