Flow Hydrodediazotization of Aromatic Heterocycles

Röder, L.; Nicholls, A. J.; Baxendale, I. R.

Molecules · 2019 · 24(10) · 1996–1996(18)

Continuous flow processing was applied for the rapid replacement of an aromatic amino group with a hydride. The approach was applied to a range of aromatic heterocycles, confirming the wide scope and substituent-tolerance of the processes. Flow equipment was …

Photochemical flow synthesis of 3-hydroxyazetidines

Ruggeri, M.; Dombrowski, A. W.; Djuric, S. W.; Baxendale, I. R.

ChemPhotoChem · 2019 · 3(12) · 1212–1218

A photo-flow Norrish-Yang cyclisation has been devised that delivers 3-hydroxyazetidines in good yields. The high reproducibility and short residence times of the flow process enables easy scaling of the transformation allowing access to these valuable chemic…

Synthesis of new derivatives of boehmeriasin A and their biological evaluation in liver cancer

Güzelcan, E. A.; Baxendale, I. R.; Cetin-Atalay, R.; Baumann, M.

Euro. J. Med. Chem. · 2019 · 166 · 243–245

Two series of boehmeriasin A analogs have been synthesized in short and high yielding processes providing derivatives differing either in the alkaloid's pentacyclic scaffold or its peripheral substitution pattern. These series have enabled, for the first ti…

The Design and Preparation of Transparent Hybrid Composite Thin Films with Excellent Optical Properties and Improved Thermal Insulation by Optimized Combination of Nanomaterials

Hu, T.; Su, Y.; Baxendale, I. R.; Zhang, Y.; Zhu, J.

Journal of Electronic Materials · 2019 · 49(3) · 1808–1818

For a single nano-optical material, it is difficult to possess high transmittance and adequately filter ultraviolet (UV) and infrared radiation (IR) simultaneously. Consequently, hybrid nano-optical materials comprising components of appropriate proportions f…

The Synthesis and Utility of Metal-Nitrosophenolato Compounds—Highlighting the Baudisch Reaction

Nicholls, A. J.; Thomas Barber, T.; Baxendale, I. R.

Molecules · 2019 · 24(22) · 4018–(1-32)

The syntheses of the title compounds demonstrate a privileged introduction of a nitroso (and a hydroxyl via the Baudisch reaction) group to an aromatic ring. These complexes first appeared in the literature as early as 1939, and a range of applications has …

A Robust and Scalable Continuous Flow Process for Glycerol Carbonate

Mileghem, S. V.; De Borggraeve, W. M.; Baxendale, I. R.

Chem. Eng. Tech. · 2018 · 41(10) · 2014–2023

We report a robust continuous flow procedure for the synthesis of glycerol carbonate (2‐GLC) from green reagents glycerol and dimethyl carbonate (DMC), mediated by an inexpensive polymer‐supported base catalyst using methanol as co‐solvent. High conversion an…

Diastereoselective Synthesis and Diversification of Highly Functionalized Cyclopentanones

Baumann, M.; Baxendale, I. R.

Synthesis · 2018 · 50(4) · 753–759

An efficient entry into highly substituted cyclopentanones is presented based on functionalizing cyclopentenones by means of an aza-Michael reaction with different aniline nucleophiles. The excellent diastereoselectivity of this process is ascribed to H-bo…

Flow Chemistry Approaches Applied to the Synthesis of Saturated Heterocycles

Baumann, M.; Baxendale, I. R.

Flow Chemistry for the Synthesis of Heterocycles · 2018 · 187–236

Continuous flow processing approaches are having a significant impact on the way we devise and perform chemical synthesis. Flow chemistry has repeatedly demonstrated numerous improvements with respect to synthesis efficiency, process safety and ease of reacti…

Flow synthesis of coumalic acid and its derivatization

Smith, L. K.; Baxendale, I. R.

React. Chem. Eng. · 2018 · 3 · 722–732

Coumalic acid is a valuable platform compound which can be prepared from malic acid, a biorenewable feedstock readily derived from the fermentation of glucose. Current batch procedures to synthesise coumalic acid have several drawbacks, which we address wit…
