Grignard reagents, originally reported in the early 20th century, have become and still remain a useful tool for creating carbon-carbon bonds in the chemical industry. They found application in pharma, agrochemicals, perfumes, electronics, material science, energy storage, … Simultaneously, organomagnesium reagents remain a very active area in research. Yet, their synthesis mode hasn’t evolved much and most of large-scale Grignard production campaigns are carried out in batch mode. As a result, the chemical industry faces significant safety and quality issues when it comes to producing Grignard reagents.
Chemium has designed the MgFlow ® Technology in order to by-pass these obstacles, making safe and efficient Grignard production accessible to any chemical industry. As its name suggests, MgFlow ® relies on flow chemistry principles to tackle most of Grignard related challenges.
