Summary:

This book provides a comprehensive, step-by-step approach to organic process research and development in the pharmaceutical, finechemical, and agricultural chemical industries. Process R&D describes the steps taken, following synthesis and evaluation, to bring keycompounds to market in a cost-effective manner. More people are being hired for work in this area as increasing numbers of drug candidates areidentified through combinatorial chemistry and high-throughput screening. The book is directed to industrial (primarily organic) chemists, andacademicians (particularly those inv
