The company’s strong technology position in chiral intermediates provides customers with access to a wide and growing ChiPros® portfolio that includes chiral amines, beta-hydroxyacids, aminoalcohols, aromatic and aliphatic acids, alcohols, and epoxides.
Non-chiral intermediates for the pharmaceutical industry will also be exhibited. They are based on the company's core technologies that include high pressure chemistry as hydrogenation and amination, acetylene conversions, phosgene chemistry, carbonylation, epoxidation, ethoxylation and heterocyclic chemistry. New Business Development also offers to develop new intermediates that are not yet commercially available, using these core technologies as a basis.
BASF will also be presenting its range of more than 20 ionic liquids, marketed under the brand name Basionics™. The company develops customer- and application-specific products and processes that exploit the favorable properties of ionic liquids, which are highly versatile indeed. Be it at the scale of kilograms or tons: BASF’s versatile production facilities and long years of experience enable the company to produce ionic liquids in any volume large or small while always meeting the customer’s product quality criteria. Moreover, BASF supports its customers' new developments by providing project support from lab scale to industrial scale. The company also offers a comprehensive package of services, including regulatory support and special logistics solutions.
The operating division Intermediates of the BASF Group develops, produces and markets the world's largest range of intermediates.

The Inorganics operating division offers to its customers a broad portfolio of inorganic chemicals such as alcoholates, alkali metal compounds, boron trifluoride and borane compounds, boroxins and borates, hydroxylamine and its derivatives. The product range also includes 2- and 4-hydroxyacetophenone. These specialties are used as catalysts, reagents and building blocks in a wide variety of innovative industries, particularly in the pharmaceutical, agrochemical or cosmetics industries. Driven by customer needs New Business Development continuously works on the expansion of BASF’s inorganics portfolio. Recent examples of BASF’s activities in this area are the launch of hydroxylamine-O-sulfonic acid, a versatile aminating agent, O-benzylhydroxylamine hydrochloride, which is useful whenever a protecting group on an N-O-functionality is needed, as well as the development of N,O-dimethylhydroxylamine hydrochloride that is now available also in larger quantities for syntheses in the life science industry. These product innovations contribute to making our customers’ syntheses less complex and time-consuming as well as more cost-effective.
