Construction and validation of an automated flow hydrogenation instrument for application in high-throughput organic chemistry.

This manuscript details the construction of a fully automated flow hydrogenation apparatus for use in high-throughput organic synthesis. The instrument comprises of a Bohdan robot platform coupled with a ThalesNano H-cube hydrogenator and a series of solvent valves and pumping mechanisms. Using this instrument, we have been able to fully automate a number of key transformations that could not otherwise be conveniently undertaken in a high-throughput manner.
