The hydrogenation of complex pharmaceutical intermediate, rac ‐sertraline imine has been optimized as a continuous flow process utilizing a palladium/calcium carbonate (Pd/CaCO 3 ) catalyst and hydrogen in supercritical carbon dioxide (scCO 2 ). Superior levels of selectivity were obtained in the flow system possibly attributable to the heat transfer properties of scCO 2 which help to remove excess heat from the catalyst surface.
