Practical Process Research and Development: A Guide for Organic Chemists

By Neal G. Anderson

Practical Process Research and Development: A Guide for Organic Chemists, Third Edition provides a concise, comprehensive, step-by-step framework to support understanding and implement organic process research and development in the pharmaceutical, fine chemical, and agricultural chemical industries. The book describes the steps taken following synthesis and evaluation to bring key compounds to market in a cost-effective manner. Through a hands-on, step-by-step approach to solving process development problems, including route, reagent, and solvent selection, optimizing catalytic reactions, chiral syntheses, and green chemistry, this book helps organic, medicinal, pharmaceutical, and chemical process development chemists as well as chemical engineers with research and development initiatives.

In addition, it is well suited for beginners at upper undergraduate and graduate student level and early career researchers who need accessible insights into industrial process R&D.
