Merging inline crystallization and pulsed flow operation to enable enantiospecific solid state photodecarbonylation

React. Chem. Eng., 2024, Advance Article
DOI: 10.1039/D4RE00058G, Paper
Open Access
Bavo Vandekerckhove, Bart Ruttens, Bert Metten, Christian V. Stevens, Thomas S. A. Heugebaert
Photoelimination of α-chiral ketones in the solid state results in highly regio- and enantiospecific C–C bond formation. By combining inline crystallisation and pulsatile flow, the photochemistry of these slurries can now be run fully continuously.
