Abstract:
A process for the preparation of Dalfampridine (1), 4-aminopyridine, starting from 4-pyridinecarbonitrile using a one-pot procedure.
Said process is carried out with no need for isolating intermediates and is particularly advantageous as far as environment, yields, productivity and purity of the resulting product are concerned, both in the reaction mixture and in the isolated crystal.
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.
