The Suzuki-Miyaura coupling reaction of electron-poor aryl chlorides in the synthesis of crop protection-relevant active ingredients in water is disclosed. Optimisation of the reaction conditions allowed running the reaction with 50 ppm of Pd-catalyst loading without an additional organic solvent in the cross-coupling reaction step in short reaction times. The system was optimised for the initial cross-coupling step of the large scale produced fungicides Boscalid, Fluxapyroxad and Bixafen up to 97% yield. It is also shown that the Suzuki-Miyaura reaction can be easily scaled up to 50 g using a simple product separation and purification using environmentally benign solvents in the work-up. To show the usability of this method, it was additionally applied in the three-step synthesis of the desired active ingredients.

Multi-step continuous flow synthesis enables a parallel approach to obtain agrochemicals and pharmaceuticals containing 3-fluoroalkyl pyrazole cores. In this system, fluorinated amines are transformed into pyrazole cores through a telescoped in situ generation and consumption of diazoalkanes. Once synthesized, additional continuous flow and batch reactions add complexity to the pyrazole core via C–N arylation and methylation, TMS cleavage, and amidation. Using this modular assembly line approach, Bixafen and Fluxapyroxad were synthesized in 38 % yield over four continuous flow steps in an overall reaction time of 56 min. Finally, coupling selected continuous flow processes with an offline (batch) Ullmann coupling afforded Celecoxib, Mavacoxib, and SC-560 in 33–54 % yield over two to three steps.
