In this Pharma IQ demo, Gary Gustafson, Customer Success Specialist at CAS, provides examples of green chemistry in Sci-Finder-n and offers an insight into CAS’s green polymer chemistry and packaging solution.

As the amount of data available to scientists continues to grow exponentially, the tool makes the process of hunting for solutions and processes far more efficient by allowing scientists to search by references, substances and reactions.

Sci-Finder-n goes beyond synthetic methods and can be used to create greener production processes, as Gustafson explains how to find green chemistry outside of pharma, while also demonstrating the potential of accessing a large number of green chemistry topics that have been indexed.

He also explores a new capability on the platform called the Retrosynthesis Tool and details how to search for procedures that incorporate green protocols, as well as discovering simpler schemes consisting of fewer transformations and starting material to purchase.
