SACHEM Launches Salego™ BASE 1000 Series, Improved Organic Catalysts

Austin, TX April 30, 2012 SACHEM introduces Salego™ BASE 1000 as part of its Salego™ portfolio of products used as building blocks in the pharmaceutical industry. Salego™ BASE 1000 is a line of organic synthesis catalysts designed for use in cutting edge chemistry and process equipment.
Salego™ BASE 1000 Series can be used as strong organic base catalyst and/or it can be combined as phase transfer catalyst and pH-adjuster in many organic synthesis used in the pharmaceutical industry. SACHEM’s Salego™ product line helps maintain leading edge technologies that meet increasing demands for various organic synthesis manufacturing techniques. Use of organic hydroxides in many applications has been known for decades, but as process equipment designs continue to improve, increased purity of the chemical used in these specialized systems becomes critical. To help support our customers, SACHEM has developed its line of intermediaries with improved purity that will not cause unwanted precipitation before or during your process.

SACHEM’s unique chemistry expertise and manufacturing capabilities allow us to support our customers in all phases of development and commercialization.
“The new Salego™ BASE 1000 series is made up of very versatile and exciting reagents. They serve as homogeneous strong base catalysts in organic media and have phase transfer characteristics as well. This combined with their high purity makes them an ideal intermediary for a variety of organic reactions” says Dr. Armin Buhling, Marketing Manager Pharma.
