“…Continuous flow technology has entered fine chemical and pharmaceutical laboratories with systems from Syrris, Uniqsis, ThalesNano, Vapourtec, Ehrfeld Mikrotechnik, FutureChemistry, Fraunhofer Institute for Microengineering and Microsystems, Chemtrix, and Corning. Compounds synthesized with continuous flow technology comprising multi‐step reactions and purification include the following: nitroethanol (∼21 g/h) by Lonza‐Novartis; aliskiren hemifumarate and other active pharmaceutical ingredients (∼45 g/h) at the Novartis‐MIT center; artemisinin‐derived medicines (∼3.4 mmol/h) at the Max‐Planck Institute; and the cGMP synthesis of prexasertib monolactate monohydrate (∼125 g/h) by Eli Lilly . Eli Lilly, Vertex, Pfizer, Novartis, Johnson & Johnson, Amgen, and GSK are among those that have made significant research and development investments in small‐scale continuous processing, however, commercial syntheses using intensified/miniaturized continuous flow technology throughout the entire plant remain limited in part due to lack of information and technology.…”
