Sajjan has expertise in large scale production of specialty
chemicals which involves complex chemistry
Core competencies
 Pyrimidine Dérivatives : Large scale handling of Chlorine Gas, Phosphorus Oxy Chloride
and Phosphorus Trichloride
 Chlorination : Extremely efficient process without water. POCl3 is re-generated and the HCl
gas evolved is scrubbed to get HCl acid
 Bromination by Liquid Bromine : Robust process followed ensuring minimum waste.
 Dry HCl Gas : Environmentally friendly process to produce dry HCl gas where no liquid
and solid waste is generated.
 Hydrogénation : Expertise in metal catalyzed Hydrogenation.
 Vilsmeier Reaction : Highly hygroscopic process is being handled efficiently for
Formylation reaction in Heterocyclic compound at plant scale.
 Cyclization Reaction : Cyclization by using HBr gas in acetic acid, HCl gas, POCl3 and
AlCl3
 Methoxylation : Use of strong nucleophile like Sodium Methoxide powder and Sodium
Methoxide 25% solution with co-catalyst for oxidative reductive reaction.
 Double Bond Reduction : Using metal catalyst of various grades at multiple temperature
and pressure range
 Thiolation : Halogen exchange reaction by using reactants like Thiourea, Sodium Poly
sulfide and Mercaptans
 Chlorination (using Oxalyl Chloride) : Double acid choloride preparation on aromatic
compound by using Oxalyl Chloride. CO gas generated in the process is incinerated.
