🚀 A New Era in Cannabidiol Production: Streamlining Synthesis with Cutting-Edge Techniques! 🧪 We're thrilled to share our latest research, just published in Chemistry - An Asian Journal! Our team has developed a comprehensive total synthesis of cannabidiol (CBD) that integrates both batch and continuous flow conditions. Key highlights of our work: 🔬 Streamlined synthesis of olivetolic acid derivatives. 🌱 Use of an enantiomerically pure monoterpene, derived from naturally occurring (R)-(+)-limonene, via innovative photocatalysis. ⚗️ Key reactions, including olivetolic ester synthesis and Friedel-Crafts alkylation, successfully adapted to continuous flow—leading to improved yields and selectivities. Kleber Thiago de Oliveira Edison Wendler Nelson Ferreira Claro Júnior This research not only offers a scalable and efficient route to CBD but also advances synthetic strategies to access a diverse range of cannabinoids. With implications for both medicinal and industrial applications, we're excited about the potential this work holds for the future. Thank you to everyone involved in this groundbreaking study! 🙌 Share with your collegues and friends. https://lnkd.in/d5HTCBjw #Cannabidiol #ContinuousFlowChemistry #SyntheticChemistry #Cannabinoids #MedicinalChemistry #Pharmaceuticals #ResearchInnovation

Development and Scale-Up of 7-COOH CBD Synthesis, a Key #Cannabinoid Metabolite. Key process development achieved for the manufacture of a cannabidiol (CBD) metabolite, 7-carboxy cannabidiol (7-COOH CBD), starting from ∼0.5 mT of CBD. A significant milestone as laboratory-scale synthesis to 7-COOH CBD was not scalable due to reliance on chromatography. Notably, chromatography was circumvented, and purification successfully achieved through base washes, resin treatment, dicyclohexylamine (DCHA) salt formation, and methanol slurry at the final step. #CBD #Pharmaceuticals #Research #Innovation #Chemistry

In the realm of synthetic biology and pharmaceuticals, the precision and purity of chemical components are paramount. Unnatural amino acids, particularly those protected by Fmoc (9-fluorenylmethoxycarbonyl) and Boc (tert-butyloxycarbonyl), play a pivotal role in this sector, serving as building blocks for peptides, proteins, and a myriad of other bioactive molecules.

Enantioselective cyclopropanation remains a significant task in the field of Organic chemistry. At Syngene, we tackled this head-on by employing multiple chemical strategies, successfully producing over 800 Kg of the regulatory starting material (RSM). This achievement underscores our commitment to innovation and excellence in overcoming synthesis and scale-up challenges related to the safe and efficient usage of Diethylzinc reagent.
