Get into the flow of green chemistry
Many pharma companies are now using flow chemistry in development projects. The use of a microreactor with small, micrometre-sized channels instead of a large batch reactor can reduce the hazards of exothermic reactions, allow smaller quantities of solvent to be used, and allow reactions to be run in more concentrated form. But flow chemistry does not have to be carried out in a specialist microreactor – it is also possible to use something more akin to a long, thin tube.
