Abstract

Continuous flow techniques have been adopted to enhance the efficiency and practicality of using chiral auxiliaries in stereoselective synthesis. One or more of the three steps involved in the generation of stereocenters with chiral auxiliaries (installation, diastereoselective reaction, cleavage) can benefit from continuous flow synthesis making the overall process more practical. This chapter presents a selection of examples to illustrate this concept. Continuous flow synthesis has been applied to chiral auxiliary controlled photocycloadditions, cycloadditions, photocyclizations, enolate fluorination, imine reduction, and alkene reduction.
