29th April 2003Duncan Thompson, Chemical Development, GSK Comparison of different chemometric techniques for reaction monitoring using Raman and UV spectroscopy
Outline of the presentation • Setting the scene • Techniques used • Reaction monitoring results • Kinetics • Conclusions • Questions
Chemometrics and Process Analytics team • Analytical project support • Chemometric techniques • MSPC • Reaction monitoring/Solubility determinations Areas of work
Bromination Chemistry • Exothermic reaction • Variable initiation time - plant safety issues • Auto catalytic • Fast initiation • Hazardous product - severe lachrymator
Kaiser Raman 1/4” hasteloy probe 785nm laser 20 secs acquisition Cycle time - 1 min Data collected using GRAMS Zeiss MCS spectrometer 1/2” equitech hasteloy probe 500ms integration time Wavelength range - 220 to 400nm Cycle time - 1 min Techniques used in parallel
Product Starting material C-Br band Solvent Results - Raman spectra
4 3 2 1 Peak area using HOLOREACT software
Time Results - UV spectra
1 4 3 2 3 components accounts for 99.9% of the data PCA analysis - data centred
X=C.S X.S’=C.(S.S’) (X.S’).(S.S’)-1=C.(S.S’).(S.S’)-1 Cest= (X.S’).(S.S’)-1 MLR - estimation of concentration using reference spectra
Iterative Target Transform Factor Analysis • Estimate spectral and concentration profiles from reaction data set • Initial targets manually selected • Iterative process, refining concentration and target estimates according to certain restrictions • Minimise error • Non negativity • Unimodality

Dynochem results Proposed mechanism
Choosing a monitoring technique • Both UV and Raman can be used to follow initiation and reaction progress • Factors to consider • Structure of molecules • Speed of data acquisition • Raman scattering • Complexity of problem • Software limitations • Cost
Conclusions • Hazardous reaction successfully monitored with 2 spectroscopic techniques • Kinetics determined for a very fast reaction • Comparison of techniques and data processing methods has demonstrated confidence in chemometric data analysis techniques • Improved knowledge (kinetics, initiation point, safety)
