Process R&D describes the steps taken, following synthesis and evaluation, to bring key compounds to market in a cost-effective manner. More people are being hired for work in this area as increasing numbers of drug candidates are identified through combinatorial chemistry and high-throughput screening. The book is directed to industrial (primarily organic) chemists, and academicians (particularly those involved in a growing number of start-up companies) and students who need insight into industrial process R&D. Current books do not describe hands-on, step-by-step, approaches to solving process development problems, including route, reagent, and solvent selection; optimising catalytic reactions; chiral syntheses; and "green chemistry." "Practical Process Research and Development" will be a valuable resource for researchers, managers, and graduate students.
- Provides insights into generating rugged, practical, cost-effective processes for the chemical preparation of "small molecules"
- Breaks down process optimization into route, reagent and solvent selection, development of reaction conditions, workup, crystallizations and more
- Includes over 100 tips for rapid process development
- Presents guidelines for implementing and troubleshooting processes
Newcomers to the field as well as experienced practitioners of chemical process research and development, organic chemists, academicians, and graduate students

Neal G. Anderson
Neal G. Anderson is a synthetic organic chemist with over 40 years of experience in chemical process R&D in the pharmaceutical industry. He earned a B.S. degree in biology from the University of Illinois and a Ph.D. in medicinal chemistry from the University of Michigan, followed by industrial post-doctoral studies at McNeil Laboratories. He has extensive hands-on experience in the laboratory, pilot plant, and in manufacturing facilities. At Squibb / Bristol-Myers Squibb he made key contributions to processes for the manufacture of four major drug substances, including captopril, and has participated in 12 manufacturing start-ups and introductions of many processes to pilot plants. He received a BMS President's Award and spot awards, and his final position was Principal Scientist. In 1997, Anderson established Anderson’s Process Solutions L.L.C., a consulting firm based in the USA to offer practical guidance on developing and implementing processes for bulk pharmaceuticals and fine chemicals. As part of these consulting services, he presents courses on selected aspects of practical process R&D. He is experienced in laboratory research, scale-up, and technology transfer to ensure reproducibility and optimal product quality.
