摘要:
A process for preparing substantially dry GPC (glycerophosphocholine in enantiomeric form) from wet GPC without racemisation, comprises subjecting the wet GPC to reduced pressure and elevated temperature, to reduce the water content and give highly viscous GPC; adding ethanol or another suitable solvent and crystallising GPC therefore with cooling; filtering the crystalline GPC and removing solvent therefrom under reduced pressure; characterised in that the elevated temperature is at least 45.degree. C.; and the solvent is added to the highly viscous GPC. This process produces an apparently new form of L-.alpha.-Glycerophosphocholine, m.p. 148.degree.-152.degree. C.

Enantiomeric glutarimides such as aminoglutethimide and rogletimide are prepared by cyclisation of a corresponding ester-nitrile which is a good substrate for biotransformation with an enantiospecific esterase.
摘要:
Azlactone (3), or the opposite enantiomer thereof, undergoes biotransformation, using suitable enzymatic activity, in the presence of a compound YH to form a N-acyl-amino acid (2), wherein R1, R2 and R3 are each not hydrogen and are independently selected from groups containing up to 20 carbon atoms, optionally with any combination of R1, R2 and R3 being joined together to form at least one ring, X is selected from groups containing up to 20 carbon atoms, and Y is selected from the group consisting of —OH, -Oalkyl and -Nalkyl. Amino acid (1), or the opposite enantiomer thereof, can be prepared in high enantiomeric excess from N-acyl amino acid (2), by converting Y to OH.

A process for the preparation of optically-enriched pipecolic acid as a salt with an optically-active acid, comprises asymmetric transformation of pipecolic acid, as a racemic mixture of a mixture enriched in the opposite enantiomer from that desired, with the optically-active acid in a solvent comprising an acid that causes racemisation, in the absence of aldehyde.
摘要:
A cycloalkanol is prepared by cycloaddition between a diene and a vinyl ester, wherein the ester is derived from a carboxylic acid of sufficient molecular weight to enable the reaction to be carried out at atmospheric pressure while above 150.degree. C., and the corresponding reaction between the diene and vinyl acetate generates a pressure above 4 atmospheres.

A process for the racemization of an enantiomerically-enriched compound of formula (3), comprises treatment of enantiomerically-enriched (3) with a base to obtain anion (4), optionally in protonated form, which is then combined with CH.sub.2 =CH--Y.sup.1 to form racemic (3), ##STR1## wherein Ar=aryl or heteroaryl; Ak=C.sub.1-20 alkyl; X=CN, CO.sub.2 R, CONR.sup.1 R.sup.2, and COR; Y and Y.sup.1 are independently selected from CN, CO.sub.2 R, CONR.sup.1 R.sup.2 and R, R.sub.1 and R.sub.2 are independently selected from H and C.sub.1-20 alkyl; optionally as a salt thereof. This racemization process can be used as part of an efficient synthesis of enantiomerically-enriched verapamil or aminoglutethimide.
