Serving the Pharmaceutical Industry

The pharmaceutical industry performs an important function in caring for the health and well-being of individuals across the world. This crucial industry has been subject to renewed interest due to the COVID-19 pandemic, such as where pharmaceutical products come from and how they are made.

Medicines are routinely developed to transform lives. To reach this stage often takes several years of research and development to manufacture active pharmaceutical ingredients using high-quality materials.

As a speciality chemicals manufacturer, Robinson Brothers works closely with a range of pharmaceutical manufacturers and contract research organisation to develop chemical intermediates that can be used in common medicines and treatment. Furthermore, Robinson Brothers has significant experience in providing alternative components that match or exceed existing properties, but facilitate a more efficient manufacturing process.

Key chemical intermediates include:
N-Benzylethylamine / CAS: 14321-27-8

Piperidine / CAS: 110-89-4

N-Benzylmethylamine / CAS: 103-67-3

1,3-Cyclohexanedione / CAS: 504-02-9

N-Benzyl-tert-butylamine / CAS: 3378-72-1

Thiazolidine-2,4-dione / CAS: 2295-31-0

N-Benzylethanolamine / CAS: 104-63-2

Methylthioglycolate / CAS: 2365-48-2

N-Methyl-N-Benzylethanolamine / CAS: 101-98-4 

All of these can be used in a variety of pharmaceuticals as either a raw material or chemical intermediate within a route of synthesis, meaning there are numerous end-applications for each product.
