Webinar: Optimizing Precious Metals Catalysts for FineChem & Pharma Applications

26. September 2023 | 2:00 - 3:00 PM

Optimizing Precious Metals Catalysts for FineChem & Pharma Applications

Innovative precious metal catalysts facilitate new synthesis routes in many fields of chemistry. They help to replace fossil feedstocks and to form new active ingredient molecules in pharmaceutical, agro and fine chemicals. Learn more in the webinar of the optimization and development of tailored catalysts for customers’ requirements.

In the webinar Artur Gantarev and Dr. Detlef Gaiser from Heraeus will speak about:

The design, development and production of precious metal based heterogeneous catalysts for the utilization of bio-based resources

  • The impact of the right precious metal precursor
  • The impact of the right catalyst carrier
  • The impact of the right synthesis method
  • Application example: HeraSelect®– Precious metal catalysts on activated carbn

New advances in ligand technology in precious metal based homogeneous Catalysis

  • Importance of homogeneous precious metal catalysts for increasing the yield and selectivity in pharmaceutical syntheses
  • Fabrication of a line of palladium phosphine complexes for C-C coupling reactions
  • Designing a new phosphine ligand to be used with Pd2(dba)3 for challenging C-N couplings

Furthermore, they will discuss the cost attractiveness of precious metal-based catalysts, when applying recycling loop strategies, which allow an efficient use of scarce precious metals.
