About the service

Manufacturing

Our experienced scientific team works closely with partners to transform laboratory-scale synthetic routes into robust, scalable and cost-effective manufacturing processes. From route assessment and process optimisation to kilo-scale development and manufacturing through our partner network, we provide a seamless path from grams to kilograms and multi-tonne quantities.
Our approach combines deep synthetic chemistry expertise, process understanding, analytical
support and manufacturing execution to deliver the right product at the right scale, with a strong
focus on quality, safety, reproducibility and cost efficiency.

Manufacturing Infrastructure

Challenging chemistry. Larger-volume production.

Our manufacturing infrastructure supports challenging chemistry and larger-volume production.

Key capabilities

  • Walk-in fume hoods
  • Glass-lined reactors from 5 L to 200 L
  • Stainless-steel and glass-lined reactors from 500 L to 3,000 L
  • Pressure reactors from 2,000 L to 3,000 L
  • Temperature control from −40°C to +250°C
  • Chilling systems
  • Tray and vacuum tray drying

This infrastructure enables us to handle a broad range of synthetic transformations, including high-temperature and pressure reactions, hydrogenation, halogenation, Grignard chemistry, nitration, reductions, oxidations, metal-mediated couplings and other challenging reactions.

Non-GMP Manufacturing

In-house expertise. Qualified external capacity.

SynSmart supports the manufacture and supply of non-GMP drug substances, key starting materials (KSMs), building blocks and advanced intermediates, with a safety-first approach and compliance with applicable EHS requirements.

Our manufacturing model combines in-house process and manufacturing expertise with access to qualified external manufacturing capacity. Through a hub-and-spoke model, we can provide access to manufacturing capacities in the 2,000–3,000 L range, while maintaining scientific and project oversight through our in-house team.

Reactions at Scale

Complex synthesis and demanding chemistry

Our scientists have experience with a wide range of demanding chemistry, including:

Complex Synthetic Chemistry

  • Heterocyclic and fused-ring systems
  • Multi-step synthetic routes
  • Asymmetric and chiral synthesis
  • Complex building blocks and intermediates

Challenging Reactions

  • Transition-metal-mediated coupling reactions
  • Suzuki, Heck, Negishi and Buchwald-Hartwig chemistry
  • Grignard and organometallic reactions
  • Catalytic hydrogenation
  • Halogenation and fluorination
  • Nitration, oxidation and reduction
  • Cryogenic chemistry
  • High-temperature and pressure reactions
  • Reactions involving gaseous and sensitive reagents

New Frontier

Continuous Flow Chemistry

SynSmart also leverages continuous flow chemistry for selected reactions where continuous processing can provide advantages over conventional batch chemistry.

Our flow capabilities support temperatures up to 250°C, pressures up to 50 bar, and throughput of approximately 35–36 L/day. Flow chemistry has enabled SynSmart to deliver selected processes from g-scale to 100s kg-scale, with benefits including improved conversion, selectivity, short residence times, enhanced safety, and scalability.
