Core
Competencies.
Serra’s capabilities are built around reaction chemistry, controlled process environments, and the technical continuity required to scale demanding molecules into repeatable manufacturing systems.
Grignard Chemistry
Organometallic synthesis for complex alcohols and coupling reactions
Wittig Reactions
Converting aldehydes and ketones to alkenes with selectivity
Suzuki Coupling
Palladium-catalyzed cross-coupling for aryl bond formation
Friedel-Crafts
Aromatic alkylation and acylation reactions
Alkyne Reactions
Acetylide chemistry, alkyne zipper, Lindlar hydrogenation
Phase Transfer Catalysis

Dedicated Synthesis Trains
Parallel commercial-scale synthesis trains designed around repeatable reaction systems and coordinated campaign manufacturing.
From Challenge
to Scale.
We don't just supply molecules. We engineer solutions alongside your team, sharing development risk and building long-term partnerships.
Feasibility
Fast, no-nonsense assessment of your synthesis challenge. We give honest answers—including when to say no.
Route Scouting
Expert-led evaluation of synthetic pathways to optimize yield, purity, and cost at scale.
Pilot Scale
50-200L glass-lined and stainless steel facilities to validate process before commercial commitment.
Commercial
Seamless transition to 1-8 KL production with full quality control and supply chain integration.
