In this section of the journal, the continuous flow chemistry literature of the preceding months is presented. Included are articles published in the period March-June 2012. Some key examples are highlighted in the form of graphical abstracts. The remaining publications in the field are then listed ordered by journal name, with review articles grouped at the end. In continuous-flow synthesis as well as in a batch process, purification is a bottleneck, which can negatively affect the benefits of the whole synthetic procedure. The use of solid-supported scavengers for in-line purification works well for small laboratory applications but fails in an industrially relevant scale due to the finite lifetime. A combination of a flow process and automated simulated moving-bed chromatography (SMBC) is presented as a possible solution to this problem. A Vapourtec flow instrument is combined with an SMBC system for the optimization and purification of a S N Ar-synthesis in order to separate the desired product from the by-products. The final conditions delivered 98% yield of the purified product. A robust polymer-supported amino alcohol ligand for the highly enantioselective alkylation of aldehydes using diethylzinc has been developed. Eleven different substrates were tested to deliver good to high yields and high enantioselectivity. In a single continuous-flow experiment, 13 g of enantiopure alcohol was isolated, corresponding to a TON of 251 and a productivity of 6.4 mmol/(h⋅g resin ), which is a 30-fold increase in comparison to the TON of a comparable batch experiment. The flow experiment had a dramatic effect on the reaction time as compared to batch-6 min vs. 6 h.
