This talk will showcase the effective exploitation of continuous flow reactors for the safe generation of reactive intermediates using photochemical as well as thermal strategies. These will include azides, nitrenes, carbenes as well as benzynes that can be safely generated and consumed within the miniaturised flow environment en route to valuable chemical building blocks. Moreover, the strategic use of such flow approaches towards the discovery of new reactions and reactivity modes will be highlighted as an area with untapped potential in modern organic synthesis.
