Building blocks and special reagents for your synthesis: Merck and Archimica start distribution cooperation

Merck Schuchardt and Archimica join forces: Within an exclusive distribution partnership with the recognized leader in fine chemicals, Merck provides customers from the pharma, cosmetics and chemical industries with selected building blocks and special reagents for organic synthesis – if needed also in customized volumes for laboratory, upscaling and production. Thanks to this cooperation, Merck extends its product portfolio of special chemicals for organic synthesis to include 34 building blocks and reagents from Archimica that used to be available for only a few “big players” in the pharma industry.

Added value for your synthesis

You are looking for faster, more efficient reagents and complex building blocks in order to speed up your product development, improve product properties, or save costs? Building blocks and special reagents from Merck and Archimica offer you added value for your synthesis:

• The highly efficient amide coupling reagent T3P^® reduces your API production costs by up to 30 percent.
• The properties of oxa acids can be tailored to specific pharmaceutical, nanotechnological, cosmetic or chemical applications; moreover, oxa acids are biologically degradable.
• Vinylphosphonic acid for surface treatment e.g. in printing and even in dental or electronic applications provides better durability for materials thanks to its lipophilic and hydrophilic properties.
• 4-Formylphenyl boronic acid for C-C couplings according to Suzuki facilitate manufacture of challenging heterocyclic aryl-substituted structures.
• Chiral cyclo pentenols are used for e.g. prostaglandin analog synthesis for ophthalmology or cardiovascular applications.

All special reagents from Archimca distinguish themselves by minimised toxicity and their high purity enabling simple handling.

Building blocks and reagents for R&D, upscaling and production (non-GMP)

You can now comfortably order selected building blocks and reagents from Archimica on our Merck-Chemicals website. Until recently, these products – in part developed exclusively for custom syntheses – were only available as special orders. Now Merck makes these high-tech Archimica reagents available to a wider range of customers – in volumes from a few grams to hundreds of kilograms for your R&D, upscaling and production.

Your partner from development to production

As a matter of course, Merck provides its outstanding documentation and regulatory support, customized specifications, volumes, and packaging solutions for its Archimica products as well. Based on many years of experience in regulated markets worldwide, Merck is your reliable partner for your applications in the pharmaceutical, cosmetic, or chemical industry – from the development of new products up to production scale.
