ENDURA

Silvia Carloni

Dr. Silvia Carloni is graduated with a Master in Organic Chemistry at Parma University (Italy) with a study on the inclusion in zeolitic frameworks of neutral molecules and transition metal complexes. She obtained a Ph.D. in Chemical Sciences in 2000 at Parma University, working on clean synthetic processes promoted by catalysts immobilised on siliceous supports. From more than 20 years she’s been working in R&D Department of Endura (Ravenna), in the organic synthesis field. In this context she has been focused in the synthesis of new molecules, in the development of alternative synthetic routes aimed at the production of target molecules and in the identification and characterization of intermediates and impurities for products registration purposes. In the last few years, she has been involved in the European INCITE project, aimed at the production of (1R)-trans-chrysanthemic acid, via flow synthesis of ethylchrysanthemate and enzymatic hydrolysis. In this period, she had the opportunity to collaborate with various teams on the implementation of the synthetic process from the laboratory scale up to the plant industrial scale, experiencing the different aspects and issues related to this scale-up.
