Continuous flow synthesis.

This article provides a brief outline of continuous flow synthesis including the advantages of the flow method, serial combinatorial synthesis in flow, space integration of reactions, and reactions that cannot be done in batch to show that continuous flow synthesis will be a powerful and indispensable technology for pharmaceutical research and production.
