Editorial Reviews

”...the book successfully achieves its goal of presenting the basic principles and challenges associated with the discovery and scale-up of a commercial manufacturing process of a new drug.”
— Journal of Medicinal Chemistry

”...gives a thorough overview of the challenges facing the modern development chemists in the pharmaceutical industry. It can be recommended to any graduates or postgraduates considering a career in this fascinating field, and even old hands will find much stimulating chemistry in the case studies. “
— Organic Process Research & Development

”...provides a good overview for those wanting an introduction to the science conducted in a process research group. For experienced process chemists, frequent descriptions of creative solutions to difficult problems makes the book worth reading.”
— Journal of the American Chemical Society

”...recommended without reservation. It is suitable not only for the process chemist but also for those involved in preparative work in research in teaching, and for advanced students. It should find a place in every chemical library.”
— Angewandte Chemie

”...presents pharmaceutical synthesis at its best in a very concise and educational way. The wealth of references and illustrations, and the carefully compiled subject index guarantees fast access to further information....the lively style in which chapters are written keeps the reader interested along the way.”
— European Journal of Pharmaceutics and Biopharmaceutics, 2000

From the Publisher

The collection of 23 contributions demonstrates how process chemists translate a laboratory method for making an organic chemical on a milligram scale into a production process on a kilogram to ton scale. The volume opens with an overview of the subject and a process research and development strategy for accelerated projects. Twelve case studies on agents such as inhibitors and antagonists provide detailed accounts of the processes to synthesize a drug substance from the exploratory level to manufacturing stage. The remaining papers discuss enzymatic intervention and phase transfer catalysis, asymmetric synthesis and enantioselectivity, drug substance final form and process safety, and the design of experiments and automation.
