Kinetic modeling can be of significant value for reactions in the order of minutes or hours that constitute challenges in process selectivity or byproduct formations. Based on little experimental effort it was possible to create a kinetic model that helped in process optimization and gaining essential process understanding. It could be enhanced to a scale-up model for tech transfer delivering on our overall obejective to create improved and more robust processes for production in challenging timelines and budget constraints.
