Abstract
This paper describes recent efforts to apply flow technology in the preparation of the key amino alcohol intermediate 3b so as to address manufacturability issues present in the batch process of a PRMT5 inhibitor. The continuous process, one of the first reported pharmaceutical processes to use aqueous NH4OH in flow, eliminates an isolation and the use of dichloromethane in the workup and improves reaction time >140-fold compared with the batch process to deliver multigram quantities of 3b in 60–65% isolated yield with >99 HPLC area % and >99% ee. While the flow process greatly increases the efficiency compared with the batch process, small-scale batch experiments were crucial in gaining reaction understanding to increase the kinetics and minimize impurity formation. The holistic process design underscores our belief that large-scale flow processes are built upon the knowledge gained through well-chosen small-scale batch experiments.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
