Any competent organic chemist can make them, and just OTOMH, CD6 seems to be rather easy to make staring with CD-4 or some such.

There are plenty of custom fine chemical houses out there that will knock up a few kilo's on the bench for special orders, for a price, and I would suspect that EK probably goes that route when they need to stock up, unless they do all this sort of stuff in house
Are you aware (surely you are), that Kodak sold its processing chemistry plant a couple of years ago? Now all the chemicals are made by this independent company under contract to Kodak. This company (forgot the name) also makes Chemistry under its own name, and also private labels.

There's probably several K-labs out there, but Kodak won't make the necessary bag-in-box chemicals, so they are pretty close to useless. A&I probably didn't find a buyer for theirs.
They are currently using Kodak facilities at Kodak Park.

Out-source, on-site. Interesting...
... Kodak will stop making CD6, etc. The patents, of course, do not reveal the best way to make these chemicals. That, I'm sure, is a trade secret.
As co-holder of that patent, I can assure you that the patent discloses the entire Kodachrome process, as it is a process patent...
