Springer New Avenues to Efficient Chemical Synthesis: Emerging Technologies: 2006/3 (Ernst Schering Foundation Symposium Proceedings, 2006/3)

Product Description In modern drug discovery and development, chemical synthesis is one of the key technologies. For the rapid preparation of new test compounds and drug development candidates, several innovative technologies with great potential have emerged. This book offers a compact overview of the current status of these technologies and includes many real-life examples from industry and academic institutions. Review From the reviews: "This book presents the lectures given at the Ernst Schering Foundation Workshop on the titled subject held in Berlin in August/September, 2006. Some of the new technologies in chemical synthesis that are discussed here include microreactor chemistry, nanotechnology and catalysis research, microwave-assisted organic synthesis, and new developments in solid supported synthesis. The book was designed to appeal to scientists in the pharmaceutical industry and academics interested in chemical synthesis for drug discovery and development."
