Abstract:
The present invention provides a process for the preparation of a compound of formula (I), wherein R is a straight or branched alkyl group of from one to twelve carbon atoms; M represents hydrogen or a pharmaceutically acceptable cation; and A is selected from optionally substituted carbocyclic phenyl.
Abstract:
A process for the preparation of 4''-deoxyerythromycins, having formula (I), wherein R is H or OH, Rp is H or acetyl, and R is H or loweralkyl; by treatment of the 2'-O-acetyl-4''-imidazolylthionocarbonyl-erythromycin starting material with the radical initiator 4,4'-azobis-(4-cyanovaleric acid), H3PO2 and an organic base in a water-miscible solvent other than an alcohol, and optionally eliminating the 2'-O-acetyl group. In a preferred embodiment, the water-miscible solvent is an alcohol and the deoxygenation and deacetylation is carried out in one step.
Abstract:
A process for the preparation of N-demethyl-4"-deoxy-erythromycins A and B, having formula (I), wherein R is H or OH, by stepwise addition of iodine and base to the N-dimethyl-4"-deoxy-erythromycin, preferably, accompanied by sparging with an inert gas.
Abstract:
A process for the preparation of 4''-deoxyerythromycins, having formula (I), wherein R is H or OH, Rp is H or acetyl, and R1 is H or loweralkyl; by treatment of the 2'-O-acetyl-4''-imidazolylthionocarbonyl-erythromycin starting material with the radical initiator 4,4'-azobis-(4-cyanovaleric acid), H¿3?PO2 and an organic base in a water-miscible solvent other than an alcohol, and optionally eliminating the 2'-O-acetyl group. In a preferred embodiment, the water-miscible solvent is an alcohol and the deoxygenation and deacetylation is carried out in one step.
