Abstract:
Disclosed is a process for the synthesis of Agomelatine (1), N-(2-(7-methoxynaphthalen-1-yl)ethyl)acetamide from ethyl 2-(7-methoxynaphthalen-1-yl)acetate (4).
Said synthesis method is particularly advantageous compared with known procedures because it uses low-cost reagents under mild reaction conditions and allows the isolation of a product with excellent yields and quality.
Abstract:
A process for the preparation of Landiolol 1, ((S)-2,2-dimethyl-1,3-dioxolan-4-yl)methyl 3-(4-((S)-2-hydroxy-3-(2-(morpholine-4-carboxamido) ethylamino)propoxy)phenyl)propanoate) starting from (S)-(2,2-dimethyl-1,3-dioxolan-4-yl)methyl 3-(4-hydroxyphenyl)propanoate, an alkylating agent with epoxide structure, in particular epichlorohydrin, and 2-(morpholine-4-carboxamido)ethanamine in the form of the free base or of a salt thereof.
Said process is carried out without isolating most intermediates, does not require chromatographic purifications and is particularly advantageous in terms of yields and productivity. Furthermore, the resulting Landiolol is particularly pure and can be conveniently transformed into Landiolol hydrochloride with high enantiomeric purity.
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.
