The Claisen Rearrangement - Part 1: Mechanisms and Transition States, Revisited with Quantum Mechanical Calculations and Ultrashort Pulse Spectroscopy

Synthesis of treprostinil: key Claisen rearrangement and catalytic Pauson–Khand reactions in continuous flow

Treprostinil is prepared in 12 linear steps using a plug flow reactor for the key Claisen rearrangement and Pauson–Khand reactions.

Continuous-Flow Synthesis and Derivatization of Aziridines through Palladium-Catalyzed C(sp(3) )-H Activation

A continuous‐flow synthesis of aziridines by palladium‐catalyzed C(sp³)−H activation is described. The new flow reaction could be combined with an aziridine‐ring‐opening reaction to give highly functionalized aliphatic amines through a consecutive process. A predictive mechanistic model was developed and used to design the C−H activation flow process and illustrates an approach towards first‐principles design based on novel catalytic reactions.
