Let enzymes do the work
The use of enzyme catalysts has had a real impact on the synthesis of pharmaceutical ingredients, making it possible to improve some syntheses dramatically and even make some molecules that would otherwise be either impossible or impractical to synthesise. The use of flow reactors in biocatalysis faces challenges arising from the heterogeneous slurry nature of the reaction mixture and problems with gas and liquid handling. But research is being carried out into continuous manufacturing methods for biocatalytic reactions.
