MSD's sitagliptin synthesis won a Presidential Green Chemistry Challenge — a biocatalytic route using engineered transaminase replaced 35% of the original process's waste. Enzyme chemistry cutting pharma's footprint.

Takasago's BINAP-Rh catalyzed asymmetric isomerization of allylic amines — producing (-)-menthol from myrcene — won Noyori the 2001 Nobel Prize. 3,000 tons/year of synthetic menthol from enantioselective catalysis. Chemistry at scale.

Nouryon (ex-AkzoNobel) produces chelating agents (DTPA, EDTA) that control metal ions in pulp bleaching, agriculture, and detergents. Our Expersol mining reagents extract copper more efficiently — less reagent, more metal.
