Abstract
This article presents the results of a comprehensive survey on the adoption of electrochemistry among 17 major pharmaceutical companies. The study examined key areas, including motivation, vision, personnel, utilization, explored reactions, scale-up experience, and equipment, with a focus on identifying gaps that hinder the realization of electrochemistry’s full potential. The survey findings suggest that although the adoption of electrochemistry is still in its early stages, it is viewed as a promising area that could lead to novel, better, and differentiated chemical transformations and disruptive routes. None of the surveyed companies reported having commercialized electrochemical processes; however, many anticipate reaching late-stage development or commercialization within a few years. The survey provides valuable insights for both industrial and academic laboratories seeking to pursue research in this field. Addressing gaps in knowledge and technology is essential to realizing the potential benefits of electrochemistry, ultimately contributing to the development of more efficient and sustainable manufacturing processes in the pharmaceutical industry.
期刊介绍：
The journal Organic Process Research & Development serves as a communication tool between industrial chemists and chemists working in universities and research institutes. As such, it reports original work from the broad field of industrial process chemistry but also presents academic results that are relevant, or potentially relevant, to industrial applications. Process chemistry is the science that enables the safe, environmentally benign and ultimately economical manufacturing of organic compounds that are required in larger amounts to help address the needs of society. Consequently, the Journal encompasses every aspect of organic chemistry, including all aspects of catalysis, synthetic methodology development and synthetic strategy exploration, but also includes aspects from analytical and solid-state chemistry and chemical engineering, such as work-up tools，process safety, or flow-chemistry. The goal of development and optimization of chemical reactions and processes is their transfer to a larger scale; original work describing such studies and the actual implementation on scale is highly relevant to the journal. However, studies on new developments from either industry, research institutes or academia that have not yet been demonstrated on scale, but where an industrial utility can be expected and where the study has addressed important prerequisites for a scale-up and has given confidence into the reliability and practicality of the chemistry, also serve the mission of OPR&D as a communication tool between the different contributors to the field.
