Process development

The goal of this course is to provide an insight into organic process research and development for the preparation of Active Pharmaceutical Ingredients (APIs) and relevant intermediates from laboratory to commercial scale. In particular, emphasis will be put on the theoretical basis for a correct approach to a safe, green, reliable, reproducible and cost-effective process.

At the end of the course, the students will be able to plan the development of a synthetic procedure taken from the literature, to design and fill the corresponding block flow diagram.
