Die Geräteentwicklungen im Bereich der Niederfeld-NMR-Spektroskopie im vergangenen Jahrzehnt ermöglichen den Einsatz kompakter, portabler Magnete mit geringen Streufeldern in Laborumgebungen und industriellen Produktionsanlagen. Somit werden neue Möglichkeiten für hochauflösende NMR-Experimente zur Reaktionsüberwachung eröffnet. Im Rahmen des EU-Projekts CONSENS wurden die Möglichkeiten dieser Methode umfassend anhand einer technisch bedeutenden Reaktion (elektrophile aromatische Substitutionsreaktionen) evaluiert.
Um die Flexibilität einer kontinuierlichen und modularen Pilotanlage durch Echtzeit- Qualitätskontrolle zu fördern, wurde ein vollständig automatisiertes Online- NMR-Modul entwickelt. Der Einsatz eines kommerziellen Niederfeld-NMR-Geräts im industriellen Umfeld wurde durch die entwickelten Lösungen der automatisierten Datenanlyse sowie durch ein zertifiziertes Sicherheitskonzept für den Betrieb in explosionsgefährdeten Zonen ermöglicht. Neben der Überwachung der Produktqualität wurden Online-NMR-Daten in einem neuen iterativen Optimierungsansatz zur Maximierung des Anlagenertrags eingesetzt und dienten als zuverlässige Referenz für die Kalibrierung eines Nahinfrarot-Spektrometers.
Für die Entwicklung einer robusten Datenauswertung der NMR-Spektren, die dem Anspruch der Flexibilität bei Produktwechseln genügt, wurden zunächst Versuche im Labormaßstab durchgeführt, um eine Datenbasis zu schaffen. In diesen Versuchen wurden die aromatischen Amine Anilin, p-Toluidin und p-Fluoranilin mit o-Fluornitrobenzol gekoppelt. Durch Zugabe einer Organolithium-Verbindung (Li- HMDS) findet ein Protonenaustausch zwischen dem primären Amin und Li-HMDS statt. Dies führt zu einer hohen Reaktionsenthalpie und instabilen Aryllithium-Verbindungen. Die Reaktionen wurden hinsichtlich anfallender Zwischenprodukte mittels Hochfeld-NMR-Spektroskopie analysiert.
Nachfolgend wurden die Reaktionen sowohl im Semi-Batch-Verfahren als auch im kontinuierlichen Laborbetrieb mit Online-Niederfeld-NMR-Spektroskopie und Online- Hochfeld-NMR-Spektroskopie untersucht. Da die gemessenen NMR-Spektren besonders im aromatischen Spektralbereich hohe Signalüberlappungen der Reaktanden aufweisen, wurden chemometrische Modelle entwickelt und anhand der Hochfeld-NMR-Methode validiert. Die verwendeten Durchflusszellen für die Niederfeld-NMR-Spektroskopie wurden hinsichtlich ihrer Anwendbarkeit für quantitative Messungen im kontinuierlichen Durchfluss untersucht. Es konnte gezeigt werden, dass Messungen mit einer additiv gefertigten Keramikdurchflusszelle prinzipiell möglich sind.
The departure from the current automation landscape to next generation automation concepts for the process industry has already begun. Smart functions of sensors simplify their use and enable plug-and-play integration, even though they may appear to be more complex at first sight. Monitoring specific information (i.e., “chemical” such as physico-chemical properties, chemical reactions, etc.) is the key to “chemical” process control.
The talk introduces a smart online NMR sensor module provided in an explosion proof housing as example. This sensor was developed for an intensified industrial process (pharmaceutical lithiation reaction step) funded by the EU’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme (www.consens-spire.eu). Due to NMR spectroscopy as an “absolute analytical comparison method”, independent of the matrix, it runs with extremely short set-up times in combination with “modular” spectral models. Such models can simply be built upon pure component NMR spectra within a few hours (i.e., assignment of the NMR signals to the components) instead of tedious calibrations runs.
Industry 4.0, IIoT, or Lab 4.0 will enable us to handle more complex processes in shorter time. Intensified production concepts require for adaptive analytical instruments and control technology to realize short set-up times, modular control strategies. They are based on a digitized Laboratory 4.0.
Monitoring specific chemical properties is the key to chemical process control. Today, mainly optical online methods are applied, which require time- and cost-intensive calibration effort. NMR spectroscopy, with its advantage being a direct comparison method without need for calibration, has a high potential for closed-loop process control while exhibiting short set-up times. Compact NMR instruments make NMR spectroscopy accessible in industrial and rough environments for process monitoring and advanced process control strategies.
We present a fully automated data analysis approach which is completely based on physically motivated spectral models as first principles information (Indirect Hard Modelling – IHM) and applied it to a given pharmaceutical lithiation reaction in the framework of the European Union’s Horizon 2020 project CONSENS. Online low-field NMR (LF NMR) data was analysed by IHM with low calibration effort, compared to a multivariate PLS-R (Partial Least Squares Regression) approach, and both validated using online high-field NMR (HF NMR) spectroscopy.
Improvement in deep process understanding is a mandatory prerequisite for the application of modern concepts like Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) or “Industrie 4.0”. This is particularly relevant in new process concepts such as intensified production in modularized plants. The direct hyphenation with online methods of process analytical technology (PAT) allows profound insights into the actual reactions within chemical and pharmaceutical production steps and provides necessary information for associated advanced control strategies.
While the industrial application of online Raman spectroscopy has already been successfully demonstrated, low-field NMR spectroscopy is not yet adequately developed as an online method for use in process industry. The high information content combined with the low calibration effort makes NMR spectroscopy a highly promising method for modern process automation with a high flexibility due to short set-up times and novel calibration concepts. This is a major advantage especially within multi-purpose production plants, as well as for processes suffering from fluctuating quality of raw materials.
The concept was evaluated on several example processes of pharmaceutical and chemical industry. The one presented here represents a stage of the synthesis of the industrially important solvent tetrahydrofuran consisting of the catalytic hydrogenation of 2-butine-1,4-diol was monitored. This reaction is proceeding via an intermediate product and suffers from competitive reaction paths. In this application, different spectroscopic methods were combined with the data obtained from classical process sensors, e.g., pressure, temperature, and flow transducers for the development of innovative control concepts.

Currently, research in chemical manufacturing moves towards flexible plug-and-play approaches focusing on modular plants, capable of producing small scales on-demand with short down-times between individual campaigns. This approach allows for efficient use of hardware, a faster optimization of the process conditions, and thus, an accelerated introduction of new products to the market. Driven mostly by the search for chemical syntheses under biocompatible conditions, so-called “click” chemistry rapidly became a growing field of research. The resulting simple one-pot reactions are so far only scarcely accompanied by an adequate optimization via comparably straightforward and robust analysis techniques.
Here we report on a fast and reliable calibration-free online high field NMR monitoring approach for technical mixtures. It combines a versatile fluidic system, continuous-flow measurement with a time interval of 20 s per spectrum, and a robust, automated algorithm to interpret the obtained data. All spectra were acquired using a 500 MHz NMR spectrometer (Varian) with a dual band flow probe having a 1/16-inch polymer tubing working as a flow cell. Single scan 1H NMR spectra were recorded with an acquisition time of 5 s, relaxation delay of 15 s. As a proof-of-concept, the thiol-ene coupling between N-boc cysteine methyl ester and allyl alcohol was conducted in non-deuterated solvents while its time-resolved behaviour was characterised with step tracer experiments.
Through the application of spectral modeling the signal area for each reactant can be deconvoluted in the online spectra and thus converted to the respective concentrations or molar ratios. The signals which were suitable for direct integration were used herein for comparison purposes of both methods.
Process analytical techniques are extremely useful tools for chemical production and manufacture and are of particular interest to the pharmaceutical, food and (petro-) chemical industries.
Today, mainly optical online methods are applied. NMR spectroscopy has a high potential for direct loop process control. Compact NMR instruments based on permanent magnets are robust and relatively inexpensive analysers, which feature advantages like low cost, low maintenance, ease of use, and cryogen-free operation. Instruments for online NMR measurements equipped with a flow-through cell, possessing a good signal-to-noise-ratio, sufficient robustness, and meeting the requirements for integration into industrial plants (i.e., explosion safety and fully automated data analysis) are currently not available off the rack.
A major advantage of NMR spectroscopy is that the method features a high linearity between absolute signal area and sample concentration, which makes it an absolute analytical comparison method which is independent of the matrix. This is an important prerequisite for robust data evaluation strategies within a control concept and reduces the need for extensive maintenance of the evaluation model over the time of operation. Additionally, NMR spectroscopy provides orthogonal, but complimentary physical information to conventional, e.g., optical spectroscopy. It increases the accessible information for technical processes, where aromatic-to-aliphatic conversions or isomerizations occur and conventional methods fail due to only minor changes in functional groups.
As a technically relevant example, the catalytic hydrogenation of 2-butyne-1,4-diol and further pharmaceutical reactions were studied using an online NMR sensor based on a commercially available low-field NMR spectrometer within the framework of the EU project CONSENS (Integrated Control and Sensing).

The departure from the current automation landscape to next generation automation concepts for the process industry has already begun. Smart functions of sensors simplify their use and enable plug and play integration, even though they may appear to be more complex at first sight. Smart sensors enable concepts like self-diagnostics, self-calibration, and self-configuration/ parameterization whenever our current automation landscape allows it.
Here we summarize the currently discussed general requirements for process sensors 4.0 and introduce a smart online NMR sensor module as example, which was developed for an intensified industrial process funded by the EU’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme (www.consensspire.eu).
