: An overview of the current uptake of continuous flow techniques for various functional group interconversion reactions is presented. Besides highlighting a variety of prominent examples and their main features, this review provides insights into specific reaction classes, such as oxidations, reductions, rearrangements as well as different C-H functionalization processes. While this review can only include key examples from the last decade, the reader will find a solid foundation of important transformations along with further references to inform and appreciate the opportunities arising from modern synthesis technologies such as flow synthesis.

The isothiocyanate (NCS) group is an attractive functional group in the field of organic and pharmaceutical chemistry. It can be transformed into other heteroatomic functional groups. It usually acts as the inductive group of biological activity and has also been traditionally used as the fluorescent-labeling reagent. However, it is not compatible with strong bases. When the NCS group is at para position in halobenzenes, it generally undergoes nucleophilic additions upon reaction with strong bases. To the best of our knowledge, there is currently no general methodology for the formation and reactions of NCS-functionalized aryllithiums for meta and para substituents. Herein, we report the continuous-flow generation of NCS-substituted aryllithiums from the corresponding haloarenes via a selective halogen–lithium exchange reaction and its reaction with various electrophiles to yield NCS-containing products. We also achieved an integrated synthesis through sequential reactions of the NCS-containing compounds with additional nucleophiles using the continuous-flow reactors.

Pt-catalyzed continuous flow synthesis of aldehydes from alcohols has been developed, in which various aldehydes for obtaining valuable fine chemicals were given in up to 98% yields for over 5 days by using hydrogen peroxide as an oxidant.

This work describes the Diels–Alder reaction of the naturally occurring substituted butadiene, myrcene, with a range of different naturally occurring and synthetic dienophiles. The synthesis of the Diels–Alder adduct from myrcene and acrylic acid, containing surfactant properties, was scaled-up in a plate-type continuous-flow reactor with a volume of 105 mL to a throughput of 2.79 kg of the final product per day. This continuous-flow approach provides a facile alternative scale-up route to conventional batch processing, and it helps to intensify the synthesis protocol by applying higher reaction temperatures and shorter reaction times.
