Abstract:
Present invention relates to an improved process for the preparation of Zopiclone and its enantiomerically enriched isomer (Eszopiclone). 6-(5-Chloropyridin-2-yl)-5-hydroxy-7-oxo-5,6-dihydropyrrolo[3,4-b]pyrazine is reacted with 1-chloro-carbonyl-4-methylpiperazine in the presence of alkali earth metal carbonates, hydroxides or oxides in a solvent medium to give Zopiclone. It is reacted with optically active acid in a mixture of water and water miscible organic solvent followed by work up to give Eszopiclone. The present invention also relates to process for the conversion of (R) or (S) Zopiclone to 6-(5-chloropyrid-2-yl)-5-hydroxy-7-oxo-5,6-dihydro-pyrrolo-[3,4-b]-pyrazine of the intermediate which can be converted to racemic Zopiclone.
Abstract:
A process for preparation of 7-[D-α-amino-α-(4-hydroxyphenyl)acetamido]-3-(1-propen-1-yl)-3-cephem-4-carboxylic acid viz. Cefprozil of formula (I) in high purity, substantially free of impurities, which comprises preparation of mixed acid anhydride by selecting the sequence and temperature of addition of the reagents and its subsequent condensation with a protected 7-APCA; followed by hydrolysis, isolation and purification to give Cefprozil of formula (I) in the form of a monohydrate.
Abstract:
A novel method for preparing a compound of formula I which comprises of coupling the piperazine derivative of formula II with alkyl halide containing compound of the formula III by heating in solvent free conditions or, optionally, in a minimum quantity of non-aqueous suspending liquid, in presence of a catalyst and a neutralizing agent to neutralize the hydrohalic acid.
