Plants and Technologies
Despite the small dimensions of the plants (4 stainless steel and 6 glass-lined reactors for a total capacity of 6,000 l) the reaction typologies which can be performed at Laboratori Alchemia are virtually unlimited from a technological standpoint. Its technical equipment allows operation at a very broad range of temperature (from -100°C to +250°C), pressure (from 0.1 mmHg to 150 bar) and reaction volume (from lab equipment to 1,000 l vessels). The reaction typologies currently carried out at Laboratori Alchemia are the following:
| Acyl chlorides | Acylation | Alkylation |
| Amidation | Amination | Bromination |
| Condensation | Cyclization | Decarboxylation |
| Dehydroalogenation | Esterification | Etherification |
| Friedel Crafts reaction | Grignard reaction | Hydrogenation |
| High pressure hydrogenation | Isomerization | Optical resolution |
| Reaction with butyllithium | Reduction | Saponification |
| Low temperature reaction | | |
