Continuous Platinum-Mediated Hydrogenation of Refametinib Iodo-nitroaniline Key Intermediate DIM-NA: The Combined Challenges of Selectivity and Catalyst Deactivation
25 Jun 2024 | Contributor(s):: Baramov, Todor, Hassfeld, Jorma, Gottfried, Michael, Bauer, Hermann, Herrmann, Tanja, Ben Said, Mourad, Roggan, Stefan
The chemoselective, continuous, multistep reduction of iodo-nitroaromatics in a fixed-bed hydrogenation reactor has been investigated. This transformation poses challenges upon both the catalyst and process conditions if high yields are to be achieved. First, the stability and selectivity of four...

Advancing Flow Chemistry Portability: A Simplified Approach to Scaling Up Flow Chemistry
25 Jun 2024 | Contributor(s):: Lévesque, François, Rogus, Nicholas J., Spencer, Glenn, Grigorov, Plamen, McMullen, Jonathan P., Thaisrivongs, David A., Davies, Ian W., Naber, John R.
We report mixing characterization of five lab-scale and eight production-scale static mixers using a modified fourth Bourne reaction. An efficient inline method relying on UV–vis spectroscopy was developed to streamline analysis of the product distribution. As a result of these studies, we have...

Inline UV/Vis spectroscopy as PAT tool for hot-melt extrusion
09 Jun 2023 | Contributor(s):: Wesholowski, Jens, Prill, Sebastian, Berghaus, Andreas, Thommes, Markus
Hot-melt extrusion on co-rotating twin screw extruders is a focused technology for the production of pharmaceuticals in the context of Quality by Design. Since it is a continuous process, the potential for minimizing product quality fluctuation is enhanced. A typical application of hot-melt...

Inline Determination of Residence Time distributionin Hot-Melt-Extrusion
09 Jun 2023 | Contributor(s):: Wesholowski, Jens, Berghaus, Andreas, Thommes, Markus
In the framework of Quality-by-Design (QbD), the inline determination of process parameters or quality attributes of a product using sufficient process analytical technology (PAT) is a center piece for the establishment of continuous processes as a standard pharmaceutical technology. In this...
