At present, synthesising complex chemical compounds is a process that is facilitated by employing conventional batch based laboratory approaches. This path, which can to some extent be automated, frequently suffers from inefficient and uncontrollable chemical conversions cannot be controlled over the course of the numerous possible steps of the synthesis process and, which in turn leads to generally lacks in terms of product yields and a poor of product selectivity.In this research chemical synthesis was conducted in combination with small meso (μm) and micron-scale flow reactors, to offer more effective control over chemical reactions compared to conventional batch chemistry.
