We have recently started a new research project in collaboration with Mimi Hii from the Department of Chemistry (Enabling Oxidation Reactions on a Large Scale: Combining Electrochemistry with Flow). The project involves partners from Pfizer Global R & D.
In a nutshell, the project is about creating in situ reactants (oxidants and reductants) using electrochemical methods to react with pharmaceutical intermediates in a flow system (that is continuous production rather than batch operation). We hope that this will lead to much improved selectivities and yields with much reduced waste formation for many important chem! ical transformations.
We are currently filing a patent application on our ideas with Imperial Innovations.
