New internet site for Bayer's largest pilot plant
Modern processes on offer include nitration, hydrogenation (pressure to 200 bar, enantioselective hydrogenation), halogenation, phosgenation and oxidation (H2O2, HNO3, oxygen). Other important methods applied include halex reactions, cyanide chemistry, addition reactions (including Diels-Alder), the Friedel-Crafts reaction, methyl nitrite chemistry, reduction with complex hydrides and organometallic reactions down to - 100 °C. An SMB unit for the continuous recovery of high-purity optically active substances is also available. For the production of volumes of several kilograms, as is required for example in phases 1 and 2 of clinical testing, Bayer has recently set up the ZeTOTM GMP KiloLab.
Qualified facilities and a quality management system meeting current Good Manufacturing Practice (cGMP) standards are in place for the production of life science intermediates and pharmaceutical active ingredients.
