Scaling-up a Hydrogenation reaction in continuous flow in a lab environment
Hydrogenation plays a critical role in the pharmaceutical, agrochemical, and fine chemical industries. Around 25% of marketed drugs and clinical drug candidates include at least one hydrogenation step in their synthesis. However, the use of hydrogen gas in laboratories is often avoided due to regulatory, safety, and technical challenges associated with its handling.
The H-Genie® smart, high-pressure hydrogen generator combined with the Phoenix Flow Reactor™ from ThalesNano, creates an all-in-one flow chemistry setup for catalyst testing, synthesis, optimization, and scale-up. Usable in any fume hood, this combination provides a wide temperature and pressure range along with high-pressure hydrogen safely generated without cylinders.
It enables the synthesis of products from milligrams to kilograms on the same system, eliminating the need for costly infrastructure or additional equipment.
