Intermediates Are Not Just the Patent of Chemical Laboratories!

Let’s talk about the pharmaceutical field first. 90% of drug production cannot be separated from intermediates. Just like building a house requires steel and cement, pharmaceutical factories first prepare intermediates and then synthesize the final drug step by step. The recently popular weight loss drug semaglutide, its intermediates have to go through more than a dozen steps of reaction before they can become finished products.

The pesticide industry is a big customer of intermediates. The research and development of a new pesticide often requires key intermediates first. These intermediates are like Lego blocks, and hundreds of pesticide formulas can be created through different combinations.

The intermediates in cosmetics are also very interesting. Those niacinamides that make your skin whiter and surfactants that make shampoo foam are actually magic tricks performed by intermediates. Even the pigments in lipstick have to rely on intermediates to adjust the color.

The most unexpected thing is that even electronic products use intermediates. The liquid crystal materials of mobile phone screens and the etching agents of semiconductor chips, behind these high-tech products, there are intermediates silently working.

So intermediates are like the "master key" of the industry. Although ordinary people don't come into direct contact with them, they have already penetrated into every aspect of our lives. Next time you take medicine or play with your phone, you can think about the intermediates that may have contributed to it!
