We present novel composite polymer/oxide hollow fibers for use as flow reactors in organic synthesis for the first time. We demonstrate the breadth of catalyzed reactions that can be performed in flow via a Brønsted acid-catalyzed acetal deprotection, an organocatalytic C-C coupling, and enantioselective Rh-catalyzed C-C couplings.
