”...the book successfully achieves its goal of presenting the basic
principles and challenges associated with the discovery and
scale-up of a commercial manufacturing process of a new drug.”
— Journal of Medicinal Chemistry
”...gives a thorough overview of the challenges facing the modern
development chemists in the pharmaceutical industry. It can be
recommended to any graduates or postgraduates considering a career
in this fascinating field, and even old hands will find much
stimulating chemistry in the case studies. “
— Organic Process Research & Development
”...provides a good overview for those wanting an introduction to
the science conducted in a process research group. For experienced
process chemists, frequent descriptions of creative solutions to
difficult problems makes the book worth reading.”
— Journal of the American Chemical Society
”...recommended without reservation. It is suitable not only for
the process chemist but also for those involved in preparative work
in research in teaching, and for advanced students. It should find
a place in every chemical library.”
— Angewandte Chemie
”...presents pharmaceutical synthesis at its best in a very concise
and educational way. The wealth of references and illustrations,
and the carefully compiled subject index guarantees fast access to
further information....the lively style in which chapters are
written keeps the reader interested along the way.”
