Dr. Paul Watts graduated from the University of Bristol in 1995 with a first class B.Sc. in chemistry. He continued his studies at Bristol, obtaining a Ph.D. in bio-organic natural product chemistry in 1999. His Ph.D. focussed on the synthesis of isotopically labelled compounds, for use in determination of biosynthetic pathways to polyketide-derived natural products.

Paul subsequently worked as a postdoctoral research associate at the University of Hull, where he pioneered organic synthesis in micro reactors. In February 2002, he was appointed as a lecturer at the University of Hull, in August 2007 was promoted to the position of Senior Lecture and then further promoted to Reader in Organic Chemistry in May 2009. 

He now leads the micro reactor and flow technology group where the research has resulted in the publication of over 80 highly cited papers in peer reviewed journals on the topic of continuous flow organic synthesis, in addition to other publications and book chapters.

In 2005, Watts initiated a joint venture with Lionix BV (Netherlands) to commercialise the technology, which has resulted in the formation of Chemtrix BV. Watts has a part time secondment to work with the company in the role of Chief Technology Officer.

New SARChI Chair in Microfluidic Bio/Chemical Processing, hosted by InnoVenton

08/03/2013
We are thrilled that Prof Paul Watts has been appointed as the first recipient of the newly established Chair in Microfluidic Bio/Chemical Processing. The Chair was awarded to the Science Faculty by the South African Research Chairs Initiative (SARChI) of the Department of Science and Technology (DST) following an internationally competitive process. Funded by the DST and managed by the NRF, the Chair will be housed in our Institute for Chemical Technology, InnoVenton.
Prof Paul Watts graduated from the University of Bristol (UK) in 1995 with a first class BSc in chemistry. He continued his studies at Bristol, obtaining a PhD in bio-organic natural product chemistry in 1999. His PhD focused on the synthesis of isotopically labelled compounds for use in determination of biosynthetic pathways to polyketide-derived natural products.
He subsequently worked at the University of Hull (UK) where he led the micro reactor and continuous flow technology group. He has published nearly 100 papers in the field and regularly gives lectures on the topic at international conferences. In 2005, Paul initiated a joint venture with Lionix BV (Netherlands) to commercialize the technology, which has resulted in the formation of Chemtrix BV. Consequently Paul is very keen to further engage with industry.
Within InnoVenton at NMMU he will further develop the continuous flow methodology to investigate how small production platforms can enhance chemical manufacture within the South African economy. In addition research will be undertaken to investigate integration of synthesis and purification within continuous flow systems.

Translation of microwave methodology to continuous flow for the efficient synthesis of diaryl ethers via a base-mediated SNAr reaction

Charlotte Wiles Paul Watts Chemtrix BV, Burgemeester Lemmensstraat 358, 6163 JT, Geleen, The Netherlands Department of Chemistry, The University of Hull, Cottingham Road, Hull, HU6 7RX, UK 10.3762/bjoc.7.160 Abstract Whilst microwave heating has been widely demonstrated as a synthetically useful tool for rapid reaction screening, a microwave-absorbing solvent is often required in order to achieve efficient reactant heating. In comparison, microreactors can be readily heated and pressurised in order to “super-heat” the reaction mixture, meaning that microwave-transparent solvents can also be employed. To demonstrate the advantages associated with microreaction technology a series of SNAr reactions were performed under continuous flow by following previously developed microwave protocols as a starting point for the investigation. By this approach, an automated microreaction platform
