Abstract:
The present invention refers to a process for preparing a compound of general formula (A), as reported in the description, wherein R is a radical of a drug and R1-R12 are hydrogen or alkyl groups, m, n, o, q, r and s are each independently an integer from 0 to 6, and p is 0 or 1, and X is O, S, SO, SO2, NR13 or PR13 or an aryl, heteroaryl group, said process comprising reacting a compound of formula (B) R-COOZ (B) wherein R is as defined above and Z is hydrogen or a cation selected from: Li+, Na+, K+, Ca++, Mg++, tetralkylammonium, tetralkylphosphonium, with a compound of formula (C), as reported in the description, wherein R1-R12 and m, n, o, p, q, r, s are as defined above and Y is a suitable leaving group.
Abstract:
A method for preparing either the 1,2-dinitrate or the 1,3-dinitrate of glycerol involves protecting glycidol respectively with either trialkylsilyl ether group or an acetate group then nitrating with dinitrogen pentoxide under anhydrous conditions, after which the protecting group is removed. High yields of exclusively the desired isomer are obtained avoiding the difficulties of isomer separation which arise with conventional methods.
Abstract:
Disclosed is a process for the synthesis of Nicorandil (1), 2-(nicotinamide)ethyl nitrate, starting from N-(2-hydroxyethyl)nicotinamide (15), using nitration with nitric acid in the presence of acetic anhydride Said synthesis method is particularly advantageous because it solves the safety problems involved in the use of nitric acid as nitrating agent, and allows a product with excellent yields and quality to be isolated.
Abstract:
A method producing a surfactant from glycerol by converting glycerol, in a first step, to glycidol, polymerizing glycidol to an aliphatic alcohol and finally substituting a hydroxyl group with a substitute anion.

Abstract:
The process of the present invention provides a method of obtaining a high yield of water or acid soluble nitrate esters without the use of organic solvents in the nitration reaction or the production of unstable products or by-products. The process involves the nitration of an organic hydroxy-containing compound with a suitable nitrating agent such as nitric acid in the absence of organic solvents in the nitration reaction. The reaction mixture is neutralized, causing the nitrate esters to precipitate or separate from the neutralized nitrate solution. The nitrate ester is then recovered, and any dissolved nitrate salts can be removed therefrom by gentle washing with water or a dilute halide solution. As provided by the process of the present invention, no organic solvents are used in the nitration reaction and average yields range from about 80 % to about 95 %.
