Process Chemistry
Innovative, Efficient & Reliable Solutions for Complex Process Chemistry Challenges.
Route Scouting and Process Development
Our process chemistry group is composed of highly skilled and creative organic chemistry scientists who have significant experience in synthetic chemistry and process development of drug candidates, intermediate compounds, and building blocks.
Our services include the following:
- Thorough evaluation to determine deficiencies in the original synthetic route
- Exhaustive retrosynthetic analysis of the target compound to provide a thoughtfully different approach
- Establishing a new route which is safe, scalable, environmentally friendly, and cost effective
- Execution of the new approach and timely delivery of the requested material that meets client’s specifications
- Ability to produce multi-kilogram batches of non-GMP advanced synthetic intermediates or APIs
- Identification of impurities and their synthesis when required
