the increasing interest of pharmaceutical customers to outsource
the development of robust low-cost manufacturing routes, DSM is
offering focused and flexible stand alone route scouting services.

The InnoSyn™ route scouting team supports research and

routes. Unique value creating solutions are provided by integrating
the full range of enabling DSM competencies such as biocatalysis,
homogeneous catalysis, organic synthesis and continuous chemistry
using for example micro reactors. These capabilities to rapidly
screen a wide variety of catalysts speed up feasibility studies for
chemocatalytic and biocatalytic steps.
Recent success stories have introduced new efficient enzymes,
such as pharmaPLE®, lyases, transaminases, dehydrogenases and
new, easily accessible homogeneous catalysts for asymmetric
hydrogenations, aromatic substitutions, and oxidations.
Furthermore, a safe and clean nitration reaction was implemented

technology. InnoSyn™services are based in DSM's Geleen,
The Netherlands R&D facilities and utilize DSM's wide range of
technology and production sites across Europe.
