Development of Microflow Photochemistry and its Application in the Synthesis of Platform Chemicals of Pharmaceutical Importance (Old ID 20071)

Principal Investigator

The proposal develops an innovative approach in organic synthesis. It combines organic photochemistry and microflow chemistry with novel lamp and LED technology. Advanced microflow reactor concepts based on microcapillaries or flow injection will be designed and applied in the synthesis of platform chemicals. LED-panels will be utilized as powerful, miniaturized light sources. Methods for parallel photochemistry and scale-up will be furthermore realized using important examples of pharmaceutical interest. The superiority of microflow photochemistry over conventional techniques will be demonstrated through comparison studies. Hence, microflow photochemistry will emerge as a concept, rapid and resource efficient synthesis tool.
