• ], and δ-azidoesters and chlorides into allylated nitrogen heterocycles [30]. To help in elucidating the mechanisms of these reductions, we used CW EPR spectroscopy and attempted to characterise the reactive intermediates in selected reactions involving gallium trichloride. Surprisingly, we found that

They are also precursors for making higher complexes with unusual bonding patterns such as boron–boron double bonds [3], or for making unusual reactive intermediates on

• traditional batch-reactor technology [5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24]. Independent inlet streams allow reactive intermediates to be kept separate until brought together in miniscule amounts to react immediately; this rapidly depletes the starting materials and
