How catalysis may enable ‘wish-list’ reactions

Catalysts are an essential element of a chemist’s toolbox. But industrial chemists often find themselves restricted to using the catalysts and ligands that are available from catalyst manufacturers. This means that commercial availability, rather than the chemistry, can dictate the choice of catalyst/ligand and therefore less active/selective catalysts are often used instead of the best choice for a specific transformation.

For the same reason, opportunities can be missed when new transformations that require less common catalysts/ligands are not implemented in industry, particularly in scale-up projects.

• How catalysis can solve and enable challenging transformations
• How Sinocompound can help develop less available catalysts/ligands, thereby enabling the chemists to use the truly best catalyst/ligand in their reaction without having to resort to the second or third or fourth best one
• How Sinocompound can, depending on number of steps in synthesis, scale-up catalysts/ligands within a relatively short timeframe, going from single gram to multiple kilogram commercial scale in just 16 weeks
