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

Multimetallic catalysed cross-coupling of aryl bromides with aryl triflates

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that cooperativity between two group 10 metal catalysts—(bipyridine)nickel and (1,3-bis(diphenylphosphino)propane)palladium—enables a general cross-Ullmann reaction (the cross-coupling of two different aryl electrophiles), which will simplify the synthesis of pharmaceuticals, and lead to the discovery of new multimetallic reactions.

Aryl-aryl bond formation by transition-metal-catalyzed direct arylation.

TL;DR: A number of improvements have developed the former process into an industrially very useful and attractive method for the construction of aryl -aryl bonds, but the need still exists for more efficient routes whereby the same outcome is accomplished, but with reduced waste and in fewer steps.
