Discover How our Reagents & Oxidants Can Optimize your Synthesis

Increasingly, the use of heterogeneous reagents in organic synthesis and chemical production is growing in importance. This technology is completely in line with the industries seeking improved sustainability and reduced ecological footprint. This strong trend is directly derived from the inherent benefits offered by silica-based heterogeneous reagents & oxidants:

  • Extremely easy product / API isolation and purification (simple & quick filtration of the heterogeneous support)
  • Eliminates or strongly reduces the need for laborious purifications
  • No leaching of silica or catalyst and no cross contamination
  • Highly suitable for either batch or continuous flow applications
  • Convenient for high throughput medicinal & discovery chemistry
  • Improved reactivity & selectivity over homogeneous reagents / catalyst
  • Compares very favourably to polymer-based reagents: no swelling, thermally stable, more easily scalabe, faster kinetics, compatible with all solvents and mechanically stable.

Here are a selection of reactions that can be done using our reagents and oxidants:
