Synthetic process chemistry and intermediates: BayerRecent Research Landscape

Industrial-scale production of active ingredients requires specific multi-step reaction sequences to overcome low conversion rates and purity losses during crystallization.

What technical problems is Bayer addressing in Synthetic process chemistry and intermediates?

Chiral enantiomer separation failure

(25)evidences

Racemic mixtures and inefficient chemical resolutions lead to low yields of optically active intermediates required for pharmaceutical and agrochemical synthesis.

Contrast agent complexation impurities

(40)evidences

Inefficient synthesis and purification methods lead to residual impurities and low yields in macrocyclic gadolinium complex production.

Heterocyclic amide bond degradation

(21)evidences

Conventional synthetic routes for agrochemical and pharmaceutical intermediates suffer from low yields, excessive waste generation, and insufficient product purity.

Industrial alkene polymerization side-reactions

(17)evidences

Complex multi-step reactions and difficult purification requirements cause significant product loss and low chemical purity during large-scale manufacturing.
