Abstract

Synthesis of pharmaceutically active compounds by employing continuous flow micromixing reactor technology is an interesting research area. In this article we describe the synthesis of benzimidazole core drugs, such as lansoprazole (1a), pantaprazole (1b), and rabeprazole (1c) by using a continuous flow micromixing reactor technology. A key feature of the sulfoxidation includes the decreasing the reaction time from 3 h to ∼1 s to minimize the formation of sulfone impurities and improve the yields.
