The Eschenmoser coupling reaction under continuous-flow conditions.

ABSTRACT: The Eschenmoser coupling is a useful carbon-carbon bond forming reaction which has been used in various different synthesis strategies. The reaction proceeds smoothly if S-alkylated ternary thioamides or thiolactames are used. In the case of S-alkylated secondary thioamides or thiolactames, the Eschenmoser coupling needs prolonged reaction times and elevated temperatures to deliver valuable yields. We have used a flow chemistry system to promote the Eschenmoser coupling under enhanced reaction conditions in order to convert the demanding precursors such as S-alkylated secondary thioamides and thiolactames in an efficient way. Under pressurized reaction conditions at about 220 °C, the desired Eschenmoser coupling products were obtained within 70 s residence time. The reaction kinetics was investigated and 15 examples of different building block combinations are given.

Continuous Synthesis and Purification by Coupling a Multistep Flow Reaction with Centrifugal Partition Chromatography.

Project description:Continuous-flow multistep synthesis is combined with quasi-continuous final-product purification to produce pure products from crude reaction mixtures. In the nucleophilic aromatic substitution of 2,4-difluoronitrobenzene with morpholine followed by a heterogeneous catalytic hydrogenation, the desired monosubstituted product can be continuously separated from the co- and by-products in a purity of over 99 % by coupling a flow reactor sequence to a multiple dual-mode (MDM) centrifugal partition chromatography (CPC) device. This purification technique has many advantages over HPLC, such as higher resolution and no need for column replacement or silica recycling, and it does not suffer from irreversible adsorption.

Continuous-Flow Production of Liposomes with a Millireactor under Varying Fluidic Conditions.

Project description:Continuous-flow production of liposomes using microfluidic reactors has demonstrated advantages compared to batch methods, including greater control over liposome size and size distribution and reduced reliance on post-production processing steps. However, the use of microfluidic technology for the production of nanoscale vesicular systems (such as liposomes) has not been fully translated to industrial scale yet. This may be due to limitations of microfluidic-based reactors, such as low production rates, limited lifetimes, and high manufacturing costs. In this study, we investigated the potential of millimeter-scale flow reactors (or millireactors) with a serpentine-like architecture, as a scalable and cost-effective route to the production of nanoscale liposomes. The effects on liposome size of varying inlet flow rates, lipid type and concentration, storage conditions, and temperature were investigated. Liposome size (i.e., mean diameter) and size dispersity were characterised by dynamic light scattering (DLS); z-potential measurements and TEM imaging were also carried out on selected liposome batches. It was found that the lipid type and concentration, together with the inlet flow settings, had significant effects on the properties of the resultant liposome dispersion. Notably, the millifluidic reactor was able to generate liposomes with size and dispersity ranging from 54 to 272 nm, and from 0.04 to 0.52 respectively, at operating flow rates between 1 and 10 mL/min. Moreover, when compared to a batch ethanol-injection method, the millireactor generated liposomes with a more therapeutically relevant size and size dispersity.

Bismuth Subnitrate-Catalyzed Markovnikov-Type Alkyne Hydrations under Batch and Continuous Flow Conditions.

Project description:Bismuth subnitrate is reported herein as a simple and efficient catalyst for the atom-economical synthesis of methyl ketones via Markovnikov-type alkyne hydration. Besides an effective batch process under reasonably mild conditions, a chemically intensified continuous flow protocol was also developed in a packed-bed system. The applicability of the methodologies was demonstrated through hydration of a diverse set of terminal acetylenes. By simply switching the reaction medium from methanol to methanol-d4, valuable trideuteromethyl ketones were also prepared. Due to the ready availability and nontoxicity of the heterogeneous catalyst, which eliminated the need for any special additives and/or harmful reagents, the presented processes display significant advances in terms of practicality and sustainability.

Continuous drip flow system to develop biofilm of E. faecalis under anaerobic conditions.

Project description:PURPOSE: To evaluate a structurally mature E. faecalis biofilm developed under anaerobic/dynamic conditions in an in vitro system. METHODS: An experimental device was developed using a continuous drip flow system designed to develop biofilm under anaerobic conditions. The inoculum was replaced every 24 hours with a fresh growth medium for up to 10 days to feed the system. Gram staining was done every 24 hours to control the microorganism purity. Biofilms developed under the system were evaluated under the scanning electron microscope (SEM). RESULTS: SEM micrographs demonstrated mushroom-shaped structures, corresponding to a mature E. faecalis biofilm. In the mature biofilm bacterial cells are totally encased in a polymeric extracellular matrix. CONCLUSIONS: The proposed in vitro system model provides an additional useful tool to study the biofilm concept in endodontic microbiology, allowing for a better understanding of persistent root canal infections.

Efficient metal-free photochemical borylation of aryl halides under batch and continuous-flow conditions.

Project description:A rapid, chemoselective and metal-free C-B bond-forming reaction of aryl iodides and bromides in aqueous solution at low temperatures was discovered. This reaction is amenable to batch and continuous-flow conditions and shows exceptional functional group tolerance and broad substrate scope regarding both the aryl halide and the borylating reagent. Initial mechanistic experiments indicated a photolytically generated aryl radical as the key intermediate.

Unsymmetrical difunctionalization of cyclooctadiene under continuous flow conditions: expanding the scope of ring opening metathesis polymerization.

Project description:Functionalized cyclooctenes (FCOEs) are important monomers in ring-opening metathesis polymerization (ROMP). Herein, a new library of disubstituted FCOEs bearing adjacent heteroatoms were synthesized and applied in ROMP. To address the issues associated with the handling of the reactive thienyl chloride intermediate, a two-step continuous flow method has been developed to prepare 5-thio-6-chlorocyclooctene compounds from abundant cyclooctadiene starting materials. These newly synthesized FCOE monomers were subsequently polymerized through ROMP, giving rise to a range of functionalized polymers with high molecular weights. Furthermore, we demonstrated that the thermal properties of these polymers could be fine-tuned by changing the functional groups in the FCOE monomers. We expect that this functionalization-polymerization strategy will enable the preparation of a range of polymeric materials with complex structures.

An <i>in vitro</i> model for the cultivation of polymicrobial biofilms under continuous-flow conditions.

Project description:The airways of people with cystic fibrosis (CF) are often chronically colonised with a diverse array of bacterial and fungal species. However, little is known about the relative partitioning of species between the planktonic and biofilm modes of growth in the airways. Existing in vivo and in vitro models of CF airway infection are ill-suited for the long-term recapitulation of mixed microbial communities. Here we describe a simple, in vitro continuous-flow model for the cultivation of polymicrobial biofilms and planktonic cultures on different substrata. Our data provide evidence for inter-species antagonism and synergism in biofilm ecology. We further show that the type of substratum on which the biofilms grow has a profound influence on their species composition. This happens without any major alteration in the composition of the surrounding steady-state planktonic community. Our experimentally-tractable model enables the systematic study of planktonic and biofilm communities under conditions that are nutritionally reminiscent of the CF airway microenvironment, something not possible using any existing in vivo models of CF airway infection.

Preparation of Biowax Esters in Continuous Flow Conditions.

Project description:Biowaxes synthesized from vegetable fatty acids are an alternative to petrochemical paraffins. A simple way of access to these compounds involves Fisher-type esterification of long-chain acids and alcohols under acidic conditions, but long reaction times and harsh conditions are commonly required. In this study, for the first time in the literature, biowax esters are prepared under flow conditions cutting dramatically both reaction times (from 12 h to 30 min) and temperature conditions, with respect to batch procedures (from 90-120 °C to 55 °C). This approach brings substantial improvements to the biowax synthesis process from an economic and environmental point of view, thus making the method up-scalable to the industrial level.

Biofilm dynamics: linking in situ biofilm biomass and metabolic activity measurements in real-time under continuous flow conditions.

Project description:The tools used to study biofilms generally involve either destructive, end-point analyses or periodic measurements. The advent of the internet of things (IoT) era allows circumvention of these limitations. Here we introduce and detail the development of the BioSpec; a modular, nondestructive, real-time monitoring system, which accurately and reliably track changes in biofilm biomass over time. The performance of the system was validated using a commercial spectrophotometer and produced comparable results for variations in planktonic and sessile biomass. BioSpec was combined with the previously developed carbon dioxide evolution measurement system (CEMS) to allow simultaneous measurement of biofilm biomass and metabolic activity and revealed a differential response of these interrelated parameters to changing environmental conditions. The application of this system can facilitate a greater understanding of biofilm mass-function relationships and aid in the development of biofilm control strategies.
