Biocatalysis can be defined as the use of enzymes or other biological catalysts for industrial synthetic chemistry. Enzymatic catalysis is often inherently more selective than conventional chemical approaches.
Chemocatalysis offers unique solutions for the synthesis of complex molecules in terms of cost, short-cuts, and waste reduction. Depending on your target compound, our experts will select the best option between homogeneous, heterogeneous or organocatalysis.
Flow Chemistry or continuous manufacturing of chemicals enables the safe application of extreme reaction conditions and/or hazardous reagents, as such being one of the key synthetic technologies for ultimate route scouting.
Crystallization is one of the strongest techniques for the chemical purification of organic compounds. In nearly all industrial processes crystallization is used as a method to produce, purify or recover solid compounds.
Photochemistry employs photons as reagent – which leave no residue – and it induces chemical transformations otherwise difficult to achieve under mild conditions
All chemical intermediates and products can be produced from biobased and circular feedstocks. Some as drop-ins, others as new entities, with better properties or price. We find best routes and develop them into feasible processes.
