Pharmaceuticals

Photo: Pills & Plastic BottlesPharmaceutical and fine chemical manufacturers employ many of our versatile process solvents in a wide range of applications. Used in the production of bulk pharmaceuticals and other fine chemicals, they function as reaction, extraction, and crystallization solvents in organic syntheses. Tetrahydrofuran (THF) is a versatile process solvent with many synthetic applications, especially in many types of organometallic reactions. Tebol 99 high purity tertiary butyl alcohol is an excellent solvent for moderately polar fine chemicals and intermediates. N-methyl-2-pyrrolidone (NMP) is a specialized process solvent with low toxicity, low vapor pressure and a high flash point. TBAc tertiary butyl acetate is a unique building block and solvent for organic synthesis with uses in enolate ion additions and carbon-carbon bond forming reactions.
