Supercritical CO 2 was used to remove ruthenium catalyst and its derived by-products from a crude ring-closing metathesis reaction. The method was implemented in a semi-continuous fashion and allowed for efficient removal of the toxic metal impurities to meet the specifications for the final drug substance.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
