The use of microfluidic devices has recently attracted much attention from the pharmaceutical industry.[1] This is due to the fact that these devices provide several advantages for chemical synthesis, such as enhanced heat- and mass-transfer, precise control over residence (reaction) time and scalability. In recent years, our group has been focused on the development of more efficient cross-coupling, C–H activation and photocatalytic reactions to establish carbon-carbon and carbon-heteroatom bonds. This lecture will describe our results in this field and will provide insight information about the discovery process and the different parameters that led to success. [1] T. Noël, V.
