Process Chemistry

Process chemistry involves the manufacturing of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) and key intermediates require long sequence of chemical reactions and large quantities of solvents. Production of hazardous waste as side products in these processes, poses a great threat to the environment. Therefore, the R&D’s are focusing on developing faster, cheaper, efficient and more environmentally friendly processes.

• Development of more efficient catalysts
• Developing new process technologies by using Micro reactors, Nano-encapsulation
• Exploration of various techniques for the preparation of Chiral drugs
• Developing green technologies for the manufacture of APIs and intermediates
