Abstract:
In apparatus for the production of esters, the liquor circulates upwards through the tubes 2 of a still 1 and downwards through an external limb 7 which is connected with the still by pipes 5, 6. The liquid level is indicated at 10. Volatile reactants are introduced into the limb 7; any non-volatile reactant may be introduced into the still. ALSO: In the continuous production of esters, particularly of alkyl nitrates, in the liquid phase, the reaction mixture is circulated upwards through a still and downwards through an external limb connected thereto, the volatile reactants being introduced into the external stream of liquor. Non-volatile reactants may be added to the still. In the apparatus shown, the liquor circulates upwards through the tubes 2 of a still 1, and downward through the limb 7 which is connected with the still by pipes 5, 6. The liquid level is indicated at 10. For the production of ethyl nitrate a mixture of alcohol with 33 per cent nitric acid containing an excess of urea is heated in the still, and p equivalent quantities of 70 per cent nitric acid and alcohol containing a little urea are separately introduced into the limb 7. A mixture of ethyl and methyl nitrates may be made similarly from the mixed alcohols. Bye-products are removed by a branch pipe 8.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a process for preparing hexanoic acid, 6-(nitrooxy)-, (1S,2E)-3-[(1R,2R,3S,5R)-2-[(2Z)-7-(ethylamino)-7-oxo-2-hepten-1-yl]-3,5-dihydroxycyclopentyl]-1-(2-phenylethyl)-2-propen-1-yl ester of formula (I).
In accordance with the present invention, the compound (I) can be efficiently prepared with high purity by coupling bimatoprost in a boronate protected form with 6-(nitrooxy)hexanoyl chloride and removing the boronate protecting group. The invention also relates to a process for the preparation of 6-(nitrooxy) hexanoic acid having a HPLC purity equal to or greater than 99% and containing an amount of 6-{[6-(nitrooxy)hexanoyl]oxy}hexanoic acid (compound (IXa) equal to or lower than 0.2%.
