Palladium-Catalyzed Three-Component Synthesis of Phenothiazines
H. Lundbeck A/S

The formation of aromatic carbon-heteroatom bonds has traditionally been achieved by nucleophilic aromatic substitution or via the copper-mediated Ullman reaction. The palladium-catalyzed formation of aromatic C-N bonds extensively developed by Hartwig and Buchwald has provided a powerful alternative. While the aryl amination reaction is applicable even to aryl chlorides and activated phenols, the analogous C-O and C-S bond forming reactions have attracted less attention.

Phase Tranformation of Sodium Carbonate to Monohydrate
Sheffield University

Sodium carbonate is the most widely used chemical compound in the world. The 50% of this used in glass industry is in the form of dense sodium carbonate. The process of transformation of sodium carbonate to sodium carbonate monohydrate is the key step in the production of dense sodium carbonate. In this present work systematic experiments were conducted by using online in-situ measurement techniques. It is shown that the kinetics of phase transformation process is highly temperature dependant.

Compound Management Trends 2008
Published July 2008

This market report summarizes the results of HTStec’s second global pharma and biotech web-based benchmarking survey on compound management carried out in January 2008.

The study was initiated to gain a better awareness of the metrics behind current and future compound management (CM) practices within pharmaceutical, biotech and other life science research establishments. The survey focus was on liquid stores, with particular emphasis on learning how the makeup of corporate compound collectio
