Alysophil will attend to Flow Chemistry Event Europe 2020 organized by Flow Chemistry Society at Cambridge on 3rd and 4th of March 2020.
Come and meet us!
We will be please to share our vision and our work merging flow chemistry and artificial intelligence.
The entire Alysophil team is proud to share the recognition given to our colleague Elena Salvadeo as an emerging investigator by the “Journal of Flow Chemistry”. This testifies to her skills and potential that she is now devoting to the projects she is carrying out within our company! Congratulations to her!

Our colleague Elena Salvadeo worked in collaboration with Jean-Christophe Monbaliu (Citos, University of Liege) on a new way to produce Allantoin in flow chemistry.

Allantoin is a commodity molecule widely used in cosmetic and pharmaceutical industry for its moisturizing properties. Although allantoin is a naturally occurring compound, its extraction is not economically viable on the industrial scale. Its production relies on urea and glyoxylic acid as starting materials. Current methods need long reaction times and use additives that raise safety and environmental issues. This work presents a novel process toward allantoin that uses Design of Experiments (DoE) and flow chemistry techniques. Intensified continuous flow conditions enable the preparation of high purity allantoin with a productivity of isolated product of 4.65 g h−1. The research of alternative and more environmental friendly additives for the preparation of allantoin emphasizes that glyoxylic acid itself (in slight excess) is an effective catalyst for the reaction, paving the way to the development of more sustainable synthetic processes.
Among 5000 participants from 128 countries, Alysophil has been selected Deep Tech Pioneer in the Hello Tomorrow challenge. This is a new recognition of our ideas! The adventure continues. Come and meet us on March 12 and 13, 2020 at the Hello Tomorrow Summit in Paris.
