Route scouting
Evaluate routes for yield, selectivity, safety and cost, then select a suitable catalyst system.
Custom Synthesis
Bring us a molecule to make.
Custom synthesis and process development, supported by in-house analytics from laboratory evaluation to product-dependent commercial scale.
How a project runs
Process development
Optimise conditions, profile impurities and develop analytical methods alongside the chemistry.
Scale-up
Move from laboratory to pilot and commercial manufacture, with product-specific scale and controls for purity and enantiomeric excess.
Supply
Manufacture to agreed specifications, supported by analytical data and controlled documentation.

Questions & answers
Ask our team
What information does SWC need for a custom synthesis enquiry?
Share the target structure or existing route, required purity and critical impurity limits, quantity and timeline. Mention any confidentiality or documentation requirements so the team can discuss the project scope and appropriate next steps.
Which stages of chemical development can SWC support?
SWC’s custom synthesis service covers route scouting, process development, scale-up and supply. Work can include route evaluation, catalyst selection, reaction optimisation, impurity profiling and analytical method development, according to the project requirement.
Can a project move from laboratory evaluation to commercial manufacture?
SWC supports laboratory, pilot and commercial stages, with the achievable scale depending on the product and process. Share the target quantity and specification so the team can assess the development and manufacturing requirements.
What analytical support is described for custom synthesis?
SWC lists in-house GC, HPLC and polarimetry, with external support for structure and trace-metal analysis. The project’s analytical requirements, agreed specifications and supporting documentation are discussed as part of development.
