Technology strengths that deliver unique value

In addition to having one of the broadest technology portfolios in the fine chemical industry, Archimica can also deliver special value through its technology differentiators - key areas where our world-leading technologies are especially well developed.

	Organometallic chemistry Creating higher levels of value in pharmaceuticals Organometallic chemistry is an ideal vehicle to address one of the pharmaceutical industries greatest challenges - carbon-carbon bond formation. Product examples: Biaryls, boronic acids (carbocyclic, heterocyclic, aliphatic), aldehydes, amines, ...
	Nitrations and other hazardous chemistries Mastering the challenge of today’s pharma needs Hazardous chemistries allow us to offer high efficiencies in terms of time/space yield, productivity and waste generation, quite often synthetic shortcuts, and sometimes access to products which are not available with "classical" chemical methods. Product examples: Isosorbide mononitrate, Isosorbide dinitrate, other nitric acid esters
	Nucleoside chemistry Integrated, innovative approaches for promising drugs Nucleoside chemistry plays an important role in the development of some of the most important drugs used to combat cancer and viral diseases. Product examples: several generic APIs
	Biocatalysis Biology serving the drug commercialization process Biotransformation is a key element in Archimica’s technology portfolio and assists in our ability to provide rapid, cost-effective manufacture of high purity pharmaceutical intermediates at a commercial scale. Product examples: Enantiopure alcohols, amines, acids, cyanohydrins, mandelic acids, ...
	®T3P The coupling agent of the future Coupling and water removal are synthesis tools that stand at the cutting edge of high-purity and cost-effective manufacture of amides and esters for the pharmaceutical and fine chemical industries. At the forefront of this technology is ®T3P, a highly reactive propane phosphonic acid anhydride. Product examples: ®T3P solutions in ethylacetate, butylacetate, DMF, ...
	Chiral cyanohydrins Tailoring chirality for pharmaceuticals As part of an on-going commitment to developing chiral solutions for the pharmaceutical industry, Archimica offers a range of methodologies for the production of chiral cyanohydrins as well as a broad variety of downstream chemistries that allow us to create highly tailored molecules to meet synthesis requirements. Product examples: Enantiopure cyanohydrins and mandelic acids from carbo- and heterocyclic aldehydes and ketones
	Iodine chemistry An efficient, versatile commercial resource As part of its world leading expertise in the use of halogens, Archimica offers the pharmaceutical industry a broad range of technologies, products and expertise based on iodine chemistry for the manufacture of intermediates and APIs.
	Oxidation chemistry Safety and quality on a pharmaceutical scale Oxidation-reduction reactivity is one of the foundations of functionalization for pharmaceutical synthesis. We have developed a wide range of new industrial approaches to oxidation-reduction that respond to the commercial environment.
