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.

Validation report on NMR
(2017)
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).
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.
The talk also generally covers current aspects of high-field and low-field online NMR spectroscopy for reaction monitoring and process control giving also an overview on direct dissolution studies of API cocrystals.

The departure from the current automation landscape to next generation automation concepts for the process industry has already begun. Smart functions of sensors will simplify their use and enable plug-and-play integration, even though they may appear to be more complex at first sight. This is particularly important for concepts like self-diagnostics, self-calibration and self-configuration/parameterization. Intelligent field devices as parts of digital field networks, Inter-net Protocol (IP)-based connectivity and web interfaces, as well as advanced data analysis soft-ware will provide the basis for future projects like Industrie 4.0, Factory of the Future, or Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT). The talk summarizes the currently discussed general requirements for process sensors 4.0 and introduces an online NMR sensor as example. This sensor was developed to provide integrated control and sensing for sustainable operation of flexible intensified processes (CONSENS) funded by the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme.
Smart functions of sensors simplify their use and enable plug-and-play, even though they are more complex. This is particularly important for, self-diagnostics, self-calibration and self-configuration/parameterization. Intelligent field devices, digital field networks, Internet Protocol (IP)-enabled connectivity and web services, historians, and advanced data analysis software are providing the basis for the future project “Industrie 4.0” and Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT).
Important smart features include connectivity and communication ability according to a unified protocol (OPC-UA currently most widely discussed), maintenance and operating functions, traceability and compliance, virtual description to support a continuous engineering, and well as interaction capabilities between sensors. This is a prerequisite for the realization of Cyber Physical Systems (CPS) within these future automation concepts for the process industry. Therefore, smart process sensors enable new business models for users, device manufacturers, and service providers.
The departure from current automation to smart sensor has already begun. Further development is based on the actual situation over several steps. Possible perspectives will be via additional communication channels to mobile devices, bidirectional communication, integration of the cloud and virtualization. The integration of virtual runtime environments can provide a more flexible topology for process control environments.
The talk summarizes the currently discussed requirements to process sensors 4.0 and introduces an online NMR sensor as an example, which was developed in the EU project CONSENS.
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.
Berichtet wird über die automatisierte und spektral-modellgestützte Datenauswertung quantitativer Online-NMR-Spektren von technischen Systemen, die einen grundlegenden Beitrag zum Thematik Smart Sensors im Sinne kalibrierarmer bzw. kalibrierfreier Verfahren liefern.
Die quantitative Online-NMR-Spektroskopie ist besonders reizvoll für diese Thematik: Sie kommt durch den direkten Nachweis der Kernspins ohne Kalibrierung aus und arbeitet auch in Konzentrationsrandbereichen äußerst linear. Als „absolute Vergleichsmethode“ (direkte Proportionalität der Signale zu den Stoffmengen innerhalb eines Spektrums) ist die NMR-Spektroskopie für die durchgeführten Grundlagenuntersuchungen im Zusammenhang mit spektralen Modellen prädestiniert.
Der Wandel von der aktuellen Automation zum smarten Sensor ist im vollen Gange. Automatisierungstechnik, sowie die Informations- und Kommunikationstechnik (IKT) verschmelzen zunehmend. Eine Topologie für smarte Sensoren, die das Zusammenwirken mit daten- und modellbasierten Steuerungen bis hin zur Softsensorik beschreibt gibt es bis heute jedoch noch nicht. Um zu einer störungsfreien Kommunikation aller Komponenten auf Basis eines einheitlichen Protokolls zu kommen sollte die Prozessindustrie die Weichen für eine smarte und sichere Kommunikationsarchitektur stellen. Sie verwehrt stattdessen die Entwicklungen ihrer Zulieferer und wartet lieber ab. Der Beitrag greift die Anforderungen der Technologie-Roadmap „Prozess-Sensoren 4.0“ auf und zeigt Möglichkeiten zu ihrer Realisierung am Beispiel eines Online-NMR-Analysators, der im Rahmen eines EU-Projekts entwickelt wurde.
