Enabling Friedel-Crafts reactions for pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, and other industries with advanced chemical synthesis.
Friedel-Crafts Reaction is a fundamental class of reactions in organic chemistry used to introduce alkyl or acyl groups into an aromatic compound. Discovered by Charles Friedel and James Crafts in 1877, these reactions are widely used in the synthesis of aromatic hydrocarbons, ketones, and other derivatives for applications in the pharmaceutical, agrochemical, and polymer industries.
Crucial for synthesizing key intermediates and APIs, including anti-inflammatory and antibacterial compounds.
Enables the production of herbicides, fungicides, and insecticides with enhanced stability and efficiency.
Essential for creating aroma compounds and flavoring agents used in perfumes, cosmetics, and food products.
Facilitates the production of key intermediates for lubricants, dyes, and catalysts.
The Friedel-Crafts acylation reaction is a key step in the industrial synthesis of Ibuprofen, a widely used non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID). This reaction is employed in the Boots synthesis route, one of the most efficient commercial processes for producing Ibuprofen.
