Flow chemistry has been proposed in modern organic chemistry as a mean for process intensification, to improve the control over reaction performance and to achieve higher yield. However, many open issues can be evidenced regarding the true possibility of scale-up, as well as currently lacking information for process design and economical evaluation. This review proposes some recent examples of flow synthesis deepening in particular the scale-up and engineering issues. Required information is evidenced, as well as some transport and kinetic data required for the practical implementation of the results.

“…The origin of selectivity is attributed to the accessibility of high temperature and short residence time. Adopting nearly equimolar equivalents of the reactants at a higher concentration and lower catalytic loading (0.9 mol%), the reaction proceeded smoothly to completion with very high selectivity for the formation of the secondary amine [31]. A mixture of amine (aniline) and alcohol (benzyl alcohol) in toluene (10 mL) was circulated through a heated cartridge containing 1.5 wt.% Au/TiO 2 , at a flow rate of 1.5 mL/min (residence time=27 s) at 50 bar pressure and 180°C.…”

The atom economy concept is one of the earliest recognition for green and sustainable aspects of organic synthesis. Over the years, novel technologies emerged that made this important feature of reactions into practice. Continuousflow devices increased the efficiency of the chemical transformations with novel process windows (high T, high p and heterogeneous packed catalysts etc.) and increased safety which turned the attention to reexamine old, industrial processes. Oxidation can be performed under flow catalytic conditions with molecular oxygen; alcohols can be oxidized to carbonyl compounds with high atom economy (AE=87 %). Using O 2 and 1 % Au/TiO 2 , alcohol oxidation in flow was achieved with complete conversion and >90 % yield. N-alkylation is another good example for achieving high atom economy. Under flow catalytic conditions (Raney Ni), amines were successfully reacted with alcohols directly (AE=91 %) with >90 % conversion and selectivity. In both examples, the effective residence time was less than 1 min. These two examples demonstrate the significant contribution of flow technology to the realization of key principles in green and sustainable chemistry.
