The chemical reaction network comprises five reactions: autocatalytic Fmoc-piperidine ( 2 ) deprotection (blue), N -methylpiperidine ( 5 )-catalysed Fmoc-piperidine ( 2 ) deprotection (orange), fast inhibition via acetylation by p -nitrophenyl acetate ( 3 , red), slow inhibition by phenyl acetate ( 4 , purple)which irreversibly removes piperidine ( 1 ) from the reaction network as N -acetyl piperidine ( 7 )and the piperidine ( 1 )-catalysed chemical reaction between reactants A and B yielding product P , green. All these reactions take place in the same reaction vessela CSTR with continuous inflow of reagents 2 5 and outflow of reaction mixture. The oscillating concentrations in the reaction vessel are monitored with in situ infrared spectroscopy.
