Continuous flow systems for multicatalytic processes based on supported ionic liquids

Abstract

This Doctoral Thesis is framed in the area of Sustainable Chemistry and more specifically in the field of continuous flow chemistry. The main objective has been the design and development of new continuous multicatalytic systems based on the use of supported ionic liquids, materials with very interesting catalytic properties. This objective has been applied to C-C bond forming reactions such as cyanosilylation, Strecker reaction or Negishi cross-couplings; whose products mean key synthetic intermediates in several processes in organic synthesis, specially in Fine and Pharmaceutical Chemistry. Telescopic processes and divergent syntheses have been succesfully achieved under continuous flow conditions. In addition, the novel additive manufacturing 3D printing technology has been introduced for the potential obtaining of continuous flow catalytic reactors.
