Charkit’s relationship with Optima Chemical Group

Optima Chemical Group LLC is located at a 10-acre site in Douglas, Georgia. Founded in 1997, the company’s Research and Development, Manufacturing and Warehousing facilities serve as a substantial source for custom/toll manufacturing and boronic acid derivatives. It is Optima’s growing line of boronic acid derivatives that distinguish Optima in meeting the demands of the modified Suzuki coupling reaction, so crucial in drug discovery processes.

In June, 2015, Optima Chemical acquired manufacturing assets in Belle, West Virginia, from The Chemours Company, a wholly owned subsidiary of DuPont. The acquisition gives Optima a second manufacturing site resulting in additional manufacturing capacities. The facility's two distinct chemical units increase Optima's resources; one which allows the company to offer agricultural intermediates; the other featuring capabilities that are similar to those offered from Optima's site in Douglas, Georgia.

A full service custom synthesis program from Optima through Charkit includes: addition reactions, alcoholysis, alkylation, benzoylations, boronations, condensations, coupling, cyclizations, dehydrogenations, etherification, specialty Grignard reagents, hydrolyses, organosilane chemistry, polymerization, rearrangements, reduction, saponifications, and transesterifications.
