Cascade Reactions – Using the synergy of catalysis and technology

Your advantages

  • Enantioselective, sustainable and scalable syntheses of fine chemicals and APIs.
  • Precise chiral analytics!
  • Improved synthesis routes to your chemical portfolio by process-oriented combination of catalysts.
  • Minimized investments at an early stage of your idea as we have the lab and the equipment!
  • Realistic sustainability with Green Chemistry in flow!
