The new processes are catalytic coupling reactions with which even complex structured compounds can be built easily and effectively.
Instead of using expensive multi-stage production processes, significantly leaner processes can be applied, for example in C-C coupling reactions.
"The consistent use of inexpensive and environmentally friendly starting materials, the minimization of waste streams and the avoidance of difficult reaction conditions through the new processes illustrate perfectly that, in modern chemistry, sound economics and ecological friendliness can definitely go hand in hand," says Gotta.
Saltigo GmbH, which is headquartered in Langenfeld and has production facilities in Leverkusen and Dormagen, is a leading supplier in the field of custom synthesis and employs around 1,400 people worldwide.
The wholly owned subsidiary of specialty chemicals group LANXESS AG belongs to the Advanced Intermediates segment, which achieved total sales in 2007 of EUR 1,204 million.
