Abstract:
The invention relates to a method for carrying out a chemical reaction for producing a target compound by heating in a reactor a reaction medium containing at least one first reactant, such that a chemical bond inside the first reactant or between the first and a second reactant is formed or modified. The reaction medium is brought into contact with a solid heating medium that can be warmed by electromagnetic induction and that is inside the reactor and is surrounded by the reaction medium. Said heating medium is heated by electromagnetic induction with the aid of an inductor and the target bond is formed from the first reactant or from the first and a second reactant and said target bond is separated from the heating medium.

Abstract:
A process for the production of 2-alkyl-3-aroyl-5-nitrobenzofurans by acylation of 2-(2-hydroxy-5-nitrophenyl)-1-aryl-ethanones and subsequent treatment of the esters with combinations of bases and proton acids or Lewis acids. This process can be used for the production of Dronedarone. Furthermore, novel intermediates for the manufacture of Dronedarone are provided.

Abstract:
Iodylbenzene derivatives substituted with electron donating as well as electron withdrawing groups on the aromatic ring are used as precursors in aromatic nucleophilic substitution reactions. The iodyl group (IO2) is regiospecifically substituted by nucleophilic fluoride to provide the corresponding fluoroaryl derivatives. No-carrier-added [F-18]fluoride ion derived from anhydrous [F-18](F/Kryptofix, [F-18]CsF or a quaternary ammonium fluoride (e.g., Me4NF, Et4NF, n-Bu4NF, (PhCH2)4NF) exclusively substitutes the iodyl moiety in these derivatives and provides high specific activity F-18 labeled fluoroaryl analogs. Iodyl derivatives of a benzothiazole analog and 6-iodyl-L-dopa derivatives have been synthesized as precursors and have been used in the preparation of no-carrier-added [F-18]fluorobenzothiazole as well as 6-[F-18]fluoro-L-dopa.
Abstract:
A catalyst comprising a plurality of support nanoparticles and a plurality of catalytic nanoparticles. At least one catalytic nanoparticle is bonded to each support nanoparticle. The catalytic particles have a size and a concentration, wherein a first configuration of the size and the concentration of the catalytic nanoparticles enables a first catalysis result and a second configuration of the size and the concentration of the catalytic nanoparticles enables a second catalysis result, with the first and second configurations having a different size or concentration, and the first and second catalysis results being different. In some embodiments, the first catalysis result is a selective reduction of a first selected functional group without reducing one or more other functional groups, and the second catalysis result is a selective reduction of a second selected functional group without reducing one or more other functional groups.
Abstract:
The invention provides synthetic methods that utilize bromo or chloro substituents as blocking groups during the functionalization of aromatic rings, as well as compounds that are prepared from such methods.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a method of preparing a high-purity nitrophenol and, more specifically, p-nitrophenol from a nitrohalobenzene. The inventive method comprises the following steps: (a) hydrolysis of a nitrohalobenzene compound by reacting said compound with a base; (b) acidification in order to produce the nitrophenol compound from the salt thereof by means of an acid treatment; (c) crystallisation of the nitrophenol compound obtained; and (d) separation of the product obtained. The invention is characterised in that it also comprises at least the following steps: (e) concentration of the reaction medium after hydrolysis (a) and before acidification (b); and (f) liquid/liquid decantation after acidification (b) and before crystallisation (c), which is intended to eliminate the water phase obtained after acidification (b).
