A segmented flow platform for on-demand medicinal chemistry and compound synthesis in oscillating droplets

Chem Commun (Camb). 2017 Jun 16;53(49):6649-6652. doi: 10.1039/c7cc03584e.

Abstract

We report an automated flow chemistry platform that can efficiently perform a wide range of chemistries, including single/multi-phase and single/multi-step, with a reaction volume of just 14 μL. The breadth of compatible chemistries is successfully demonstrated and the desired products are characterized, isolated, and collected online by preparative HPLC/MS/ELSD.
