About

KTU’s Institute of Synthetic Chemistry was established in 2005.
The institute is equipped with the latest equipment necessary for scientific research and applies contemporary methods of organic synthesis including stereo selective synthesis, synthesis in absolutely dry conditions, Pd-catalysed cross coupling reaction, Ru-catalysed metathesis reaction, catalytic hydration with high pressure, synthesis in low temperature and photochemical reaction etc.

The institute carries out outsourced scientific research under the orders of foreign biopharmaceutical companies and participates in scientific cooperation with scientists from the universities of Vilnius, Ghent in Belgium, Vienna in Austria and Orleans in France.
