Pharmaceutical API Synthesis Redesign at Novartis Basel

Redesign of multi-step synthesis for antihypertensive drug candidate

Challenge: High E-factor (>100), hazardous chlorinated solvents, 30% yield loss in final crystallization
Pharmaceutical API Synthesis Redesign Novartis Basel | E-Factor ↓78% | Solvent Intensity: 2.1 → 0.4 kg/kg CHALLENGES • E-Factor >100 • Chlorinated solvents • 30% yield loss (crystallization) DESIGN APPROACH • Bio-based EtOAc • Catalytic asymmetric hydrogenation • Continuous crystallization + inline PAT RESULTS E-Factor ↓ 78% Solvent Intensity 2.1 → 0.4 kg/kg API Δ E-Factor >100 ✓ EtOAc ↑ PAT Process Mass Intensity (PMI) driven improvement | Continuous flow + green chemistry
