Popis: The hazardous nature of molecular oxygen can be mitigated with the use of flow reactors of small size, which in turn accelerate the gas-to-liquid mass transfer rate. In this contribution, we describe a reconfigurable automated flow platform integrating on-line HPLC monitoring for the cobalt-catalyzed aerobic oxidative dimerization of desmethoxycarpacine to carpanone. The flow platform was configured for aerobic oxidation under either a gas–liquid segmented or tube-in-tube strategy. An extensive optimization study concluded that the tube-in-tube device was penalized by the use of expensive and fragile Teflon AF-2400 tubing while the gas–liquid segmented setup featured higher yields (62% vs 48%), shorter reaction times (5 min vs 20 min), and better robustness.
