	Protective Groups

In numerous complex synthesis routes for active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs), functional groups have to be shielded against conversion in a specific reaction step. For this purpose, BASF offers a range of protective groups for your synthesis. Various types of functions ranging from alcohols to amines can be protected.
