Sustainable continuous flow synthesis of β-aminocarbonyls via acid-catalyzed hydration of N-Boc-2-azetines

Abstract

In this work we report a waste-minimized continuous flow process for the synthesis of β-aminocarbonyls through hydration of N-Boc-2-azetines promoted under acid-catalysed conditions. The greenness of the process is harnessed by the use of flow technology for handling a biphasic segmented flow and the use of an inline liquid–liquid separator allowing the recovery of both the eco-friendly organic solvent (CPME) and the reusable acidic aqueous phase.
