A Scalable, Combined-Batch, and Continuous-Flow Synthesis of a Bio-Inspired UV-B Absorber

A new, chromatography-free synthesis for the preparation of an experimental UV-B absorber is reported. A key step of the process is a one-pot partial reduction of a symmetrical imide with a sequential dehydration step. The synthesis uses several continuous-flow steps to increase sample throughput an...

Description
Summary:A new, chromatography-free synthesis for the preparation of an experimental UV-B absorber is reported. A key step of the process is a one-pot partial reduction of a symmetrical imide with a sequential dehydration step. The synthesis uses several continuous-flow steps to increase sample throughput and was used to prepare sufficient material to support further testing activities in >99?% purity.
