At Selcia we strive to be at the forefront of technological development in our sector. Constantly reviewing our skill portfolio we apply the latest techniques in organic synthesis and purification such as microwave-assisted reactions and chiral preparative HPLC to achieve the best possible results for our clients.
Our GLP analytical facility comprises an impressive array of instrumentation.
Our chemists are experienced in carrying out multi-step syntheses and have expertise with a broad range of different classes of compounds and reactions including
- Modification of natural products (macrolide antibiotics, beta lactam antibiotics, anthracyclins, di- and triterpenes, steroids)
- Aromatic and heterocyclic compounds
- Lipids
- Carbohydrates
- Organometallic reactions (Grignard reactions, lithiations, cuprate reactions, Pd-chemistry, boron enolate chemistry, Wittig reactions, etc.)
- Asymmetric synthesis & enantiomer separation (including preparative chiral HLPC)
