Abstract:
An improved catalyst is disclosed for a process involving the preparation of benzylidene intermediates useful in the preparation of 1,4-dihydropyridine compounds and derivatives thereof useful as medicines such as for example felodipine. This is accomplished by the condensation of an aldehyde and an acetoacetate in the presence of a novel catalyst system that includes a pyridyl carboxylic acid and a secondary amine. It has been found that through the use of the present invention the purity and yield of the desired isomer of the benzylidene intermediate can be maximized, thus avoiding the requirement of additional purification steps. The use of these intermediates can then be further reacted to form the required dihydropyridines, again having a very high purity and yield compared with the prior art.

Abstract:
A novel process for the preparation of omeprazole and its enantiomers, such as esomeprazole, as well as the preparation of related 2-(2-pyridinylmethyl-sulphinyl)-1H-benzimidazoles, including pantoprazole, lansoprazole and rabeprazole, as recemates or single enantiomers, and their alkali or alkaline salts has been developed. The novel process involves the surprising discovery that protection of the free-base benzimidazole sulfoxide (e.g. omeprazole or esomeprazole), by reaction with an alkyl, aryl or aralkyl chloroformate following oxidation of the corresponding sulfide, eliminates the need for its direct isolation. Subsequent removal of the protecting group with a solution of alkali or alkaline earth alkoxide in a C1-C4 alcohol directly provides the corresponding salt. By eliminating the need to handle the free-base benzimidazole sulfoxide, this advantageous procedure provides increased chemical yields over processes described in the art.
