Flow-through reactor setup.
An automated reactor has been developed for performing ligand-free Heck reactions in continuous flow mode. The reactor utilises a monolithic reactor cartridge derivatised with Pd(0) nanoparticles in-line with a scavenging cartridge containing Quadrapure-TU to efficiently capture palladium residues and thereby afford Heck products directly in high purity.
