Meanwhile, in Austria…. JC and Hubert participated in the IMRET17 conference! It was a great conference filled with many interesting speakers.
From CiTOS, JC gave a talk centered around leveraging temperature to intensify reactions for flow. One of the most relevant aspects of the research presented is the development of a priori tools that allow to estimate optimal reaction conditions before experimentation. This work represents the fruit of many years of hard work here at the University of Liège and we are happy to share it with the flow chemistry community at Graz!
Hubert presented his creative automation of a flow system for nitration reactions—developed in-house using accessible, affordable components. This system is part of a US FDA funded project focused on producing essential medicines from biosourced starting materials. The project will be further developed downstream by our collaborators at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.
