Synthesis development technician; Chemical synthesis researcher
Description
Synthesis processes in the chemical and pharmaceutical industry make use of organic and inorganic chemical products to produce active ingredients with specific physical and chemical properties. In recent years, a number of new products and applications have emerged thanks to the development of new synthetic processes and methodologies, heightened knowledge of molecular reactivity and the availability of new commercial reagents and protective groups. Furthermore, the development of asymmetric synthesis, organometallic compounds, photochemistry and in particular combinatorial synthesis, has made organic synthesis an essential method for supplying structures in industry. In this context, synthesis specialists perform tasks related to the design, development, optimisation and scaling of processes for the synthesis of new products, the improvement of existing synthetic routes and products, drawing up reports and methodologies in relation to the technologies developed, making it possible to transfer these across the pilot plant and production unit; isolating, identifying and synthesising impurities associated with manufacturing process and natural products. To do so, they make use of a skilled team and cutting-edge technical media.
