Figure 1. Telescoped process experiments for multistep synthesis of aryl ketone 5. A) Platform configuration. B) Multipoint sampling approach using a single HPLC instrument. C) Telescoped reaction pathway and optimization variables, where: tres,1=residence time of first reactor; Equiv
2=equivalents of ethylene glycol vinyl ether 2; Temperature1=temperature of first reactor; FVA:FVR1=ratio of flow rate of acid (TsOH) to flow rate of first reactor. D) Example HPLC chromatograms from multipoint sampling i) first reactor: Heck coupling-intramolecular cyclization; ii) second reactor: selective deprotection.
