As one equivalent of water is formed in this condensation process, which is detrimental for the subsequent Shapiro reaction, water is continuously removed by in-line separation of the reaction mixture using a PTFE-membrane separator. The organic layer is then mixed with a solution

As the nitrogen produced in the reaction increases the volume of the reaction mixture and therefore is drastically shortening the residence time, a cooled glass column

The synthesis features the use of a Shapiro reaction of acetone-d6 trisylhydrazone as a key step to
