The Chemistry of Process Development in Fine Chemical and Pharmaceutical Industry

This book brings together the chemical strategies used in the optimisation of organic reactions and processes, and highlights the practical and technological options available. This book offers: an encyclopedic treatment of organic chemistry from an industrial, process research and development, and manufacturing point of view plenty of examples to illustrate the scope and limitation of the strategies a comprehensive index organised by topic, reaction type, and reagent an extensive literature survey. This is an essential and comprehensive guide for experienced practitioners of chemical process research and development, fresh recruits to chemical industry R&D divisions, and academics who are interested in interacting with the chemical industry, optimising their synthetic strategies, and enriching the field of atom economy.
