Custom Chemical Synthesis UK | Apollo Scientific

Apollo Scientific is constantly exploring, developing, and producing an extensive range of compounds in order to provide novel building blocks for research labs and kilo labs/pilot plants in the medicinal chemistry, pharmaceutical, agricultural, biotech and other life science industries.

Over the last decade, more than 3,500 different compounds have been made in our UK labs: from arenes to heterocycles, if it’s not out there, we can synthesise it for you. We are committed to delivering the specific molecules you need to push the boundaries of your work.

Apollo Scientific can make sure that your processes excel, with custom chemical compounds that fit your project like a glove.

Our Expertise in Custom Synthesis Innovation

Unlocking the potential of new compounds requires technical skill and a methodical and innovative approach. Apollo Scientific brings your vision to life through our specialised custom synthesis and chemistry services.

We do this by building on our own synthetic knowledge and experience accumulated over the last 20+ years, as well as providing bespoke chemical solutions such as:

  • Synthetic route development, scouting and optimisation
  • Variety of different photochemistry instruments and solutions including photochemistry in batch and in flow reactors
  • Multistep organic synthesis from mg to multi-kg
  • Specialist fluorination and high-pressure capabilities

Thanks to our wide range of in-stock compounds, diverse sourcing network and expert dynamic synthesis team of PhD chemists, we can respond to custom requests quickly and flexibly. We’re not just about reacting A with B to get C. We look beyond, experimenting with novel pathways, complex syntheses, and chemical reactions.

Our chemists are experts in turning the theoretical into the achievable, crafting compounds designed for your research or chemical processes and providing the most efficient solution to obtain high-quality bespoke chemicals in the quantity required, from small scale synthesis to large scale supply chain services.

Bespoke Synthesis of Complex and High-Demand Compounds

We understand that each organisation has special requirements for the compounds used in their research or manufacturing. That’s why our custom synthesis service is all about tailoring our solutions to your needs and objectives.

Our team’s ability to devise and optimise synthetic routes creates compounds that are as innovative as your goals, including bespoke and high-demand compounds such as:

  • Heterocyclic chemistry
  • Toxic chemistry
  • Custom peptide synthesis
  • Novel enzyme substrates
  • Medicinal chemistry
  • Small molecules
  • Intermediates
  • Contaminants

Along with this, we utilise and derivatise molecules from our stock of over 25,000 products.

Our custom chemical synthesis process is bespoke, responding to the dynamic demands of the research and development sectors. From fine-tuning reaction conditions to scaling up outputs, we ensure that the path from the initial inquiry to the final product is as seamless as your research deserves.

Custom Synthesis for All Applications

We are happy to take on challenges that demand a high level of synthetic complexity, particularly for compounds that are in high demand due to their specialised applications.

Apollo Scientific offers one of the largest and most comprehensive catalogues worldwide, and we can synthesise custom chemicals such as:

  • Fine chemical products and building blocks
  • Fluorinated building blocks
  • Heterocyclic building blocks
  • Organic building blocks

Our approach combines custom synthesis strategies with a flexible process, adapting to the needs of each unique project and compound, whether it’s a niche heterocycle or a multifunctional aromatic compound required for cutting-edge research.

What is the Commercial Custom Synthesis Process?

Apollo Scientific’s custom synthesis service is based on collaboration. We recognise that the most successful synthesis projects require a synergy of expertise: yours in your research field and ours in chemical synthesis. We work alongside you to understand not just the compounds you need, but the science they will enable.

At the start of the custom synthesis process, our experts will work to understand your special requirements, goals, and assess challenges. We then use this information to plan a bespoke synthesis process, and provide you with a quote. This collaborative development ensures that our synthesis aligns perfectly with your research goals, providing you with the best possible foundation for discovery.

Whether you’re in the initial stages of your research, in the process of a clinical trial, or scaling up towards commercialisation, our team is here to support you. We ensure that each compound advances your project by bringing our synthetic capabilities to your table, offering both innovation and practical application.

What techniques are used in Custom Chemical Synthesis?

We specialise in manufacturing small multifunctional and unusual substituted arenes and heterocycles. Currently we carry out reactions between -78°C and +250°C in conventional 50mL to 20L glass vessels under inert reaction conditions if required. As well as conventional batch synthesis, we operate a flow reactor system to assist with new reaction development and simple scale up of optimised reactions.

The analytical rigour we apply ensures that each molecule we deliver meets stringent quality criteria, tailored to your specifications. Our laboratories are equipped with the latest analytical instruments, allowing us to verify the purity and stability of the compounds we produce.

Some of the techniques we use to synthesise custom chemical compounds include:

  • Asymmetric synthesis using chiral auxiliary, catalysis, and resolution techniques
  • Metal-mediated reactions
  • Hydrogenation
  • Fluorination, phosphorylation and sulfation chemistry

Your research goals deserve compounds that aren’t just effective, but at the cutting edge of chemical science. With Apollo Scientific as a partner and chemical supplier, you’re always one step ahead.
