A thermal runaway potential was identified for the conversion of a tertiary alcohol to a hydroxypyrrolotriazine intermediate in the synthesis of brivanib alaninate. A continuous process was developed to mitigate the potential thermal runaway and allow for safer scale-up. This paper describes the...
