Opening Summary
in the large-scale synthesis and formulation development of small molecule drugs, the batch stability, trace impurity control and reaction adaptability of intermediates are the core keys to determine the pass rate and process scalability of API finished products. Compared with common short-chain epoxy intermediates, C12, C14, C16 long-chain aliphatic epoxy compounds have become the preferred functional building blocks for the synthesis of high-end lipid-modified drugs, transdermal preparations and targeted prodrugs by virtue of their controllable lipid-water partition coefficient, low side reaction activity and stable ring-opening reaction characteristics. Among them, 1,2-epoxy dodecane (2855-19-8), 1,2-epoxy tetradecane (3234-28-4) and 1,2-epoxy hexadecane (7320-37-8) are the three most mature long-chain epoxy categories in the field of pharmaceutical and chemical industry. Our company has realized stable industrial mass production of all categories, refined and graded quality control system, and has sufficient spot reserves (more than 500kg of 1,2-epoxy dodecane, 1.4 tons of 1,2-epoxy tetradecane and 200kg of 1,2-epoxy hexadecane). Relying on large-scale production capacity to reduce production costs, our company has significant price advantages, it can comprehensively solve the industry pain points of excessive production impurities, batch fluctuations, supply delays and high procurement costs of pharmaceutical companies.

1. Long-Chain Epoxides: Functional Intermediates to Solve the Core Pain Points of the Pharmaceutical Process
common Process Problems in 1.1 Industry
at present, epoxy intermediates supplied by most small and medium-sized chemical manufacturers generally have problems such as false purity standard, excessive trace impurities of olefin/peroxide, large batch difference, unstable supply in large quantities, etc., which directly lead to fluctuation of conversion rate of synthesis reaction of pharmaceutical enterprises, substandard purity of finished products, high rework rate of retest, and greatly increase research and development and mass production costs. At the same time, general-purpose epoxy products have no subdivision grade, can not be targeted to adapt to the injection, transdermal preparations, liposome drugs differentiated research and development needs.
1.2 C12/C14/C16 long chain epoxy exclusive process advantages
the long chain saturated aliphatic epoxy has no unsaturated active double bond, stable chemical properties, mild and controllable ring-opening reaction, avoiding side reactions such as polymerization and oxidation from the source. Products with different carbon chain lengths can accurately match the needs of drug molecular modification, realize customized fat-soluble regulation, and effectively improve drug bioavailability and formulation stability. Through special process optimization, our company implements independent production line grading production for the three products, abandons the mixed mixing and sub-packaging mode, ensures that the purity, impurity index and physical and chemical parameters of each batch of products are highly unified from the production end, and perfectly adapts to GMP standardized pharmaceutical process.
