The Growing Impact of Catalysis in the Pharmaceutical Industry

TLDR
In this article, a number of selected, noteworthy industrial examples are discussed to showcase the catalytic technologies that have been successfully practiced on large scales for active pharmaceutical ingredient (API) synthesis.
Abstract
Catalysis has become increasingly important for the pharmaceutical industry Catalysis is a critical technology that enables economical and environmentally-sound manufacturing processes The development of a viable catalytic process for industrial scales is a complex task that requires the collaboration of multiple disciplines In this article, a number of selected, noteworthy industrial examples are discussed to showcase the catalytic technologies that have been successfully practiced on large scales for active pharmaceutical ingredient (API) synthesis, involving transition metal catalysis, biocatalysis and organocatalysis In addition, several examples of potential and future catalytic transformations are included which can be utilized in pharmaceutical industry in large-scale operational settings

High-Performance Isocyanide Scavengers for Use in Low-Waste Purification of Olefin Metathesis Products.

TL;DR: A new hybrid purification method is devised, which gives better results than using either a self-scavenging catalyst or a scavenger alone, and isocyanide II is shown to be a deactivating (reaction quenching) agent for olefin metathesis and superior to ethyl vinyl ether.

Pd-Catalyzed Cross-Coupling Reactions Promoted by Biaryl Phosphorinane Ligands

TL;DR: Using the synthetic strategy described above, a library of biaryl phosphorinanes was synthesized, varying their substitution about phosphorus and the steric and electronic nature of the biaryl motif, and their performance as ligands in Pd-catalyzed cross coupling reactions such as aryl sulfonamidation, aryL alkoxylation, and aryal amination in the presence of soluble organic bases was benchmarked.
