The principles of green chemistry and engineering are creating a culture change for both academia and industry.  In particular, the transition from batch processes to continuous flow technologies has become an important component of this culture change.  A variety of continuous flow processes will be discussed.  These include (1) the two-step reaction sequences for the preparation of a diazo ketone, (2) the Meerwein-Ponndorf-Verley (MPV) reductions of aldehydes and ketones and (3) the Lewis acid-catalyzed heteroaromatic homo-Nazarov reaction. The transfer of process variables from batch to continuous flow for each of these synthetic processes will be discussed.
