The "bottom-up" approach to development of direct-dropprocesses is a powerful, yet simple, strategy that every processchemist should consider for the development of efficient, cost-effective, and environmentally friendly processes. This approachis aided by a "parallel crystallization" technique, which allowsfor rapid identification of multiple solvent systems for thecrystallization of the desired product using a minimal amountof material and solvent. This "bottom-up" approach is illustrated by several examples where the desired product iscrystallized directly from the reaction mixture.
