Patent number: 7408082Abstract: The present invention relates to a novel process for obtaining (1S,4S)N-methyl-4-(3,4-dichlorophenyl)-1,2,3,4-tetrahydro-1-naphthaleneamine from a mixture of its isomers. The process involves isomerising the 1-position and the 4-position and effecting separation of the desired isomer by methods such as fractured crystallization. The process can be operated as a continuous process.Type: GrantFiled: August 9, 2007Date of Patent: August 5, 2008Assignee: NPIL Pharmaceuticals (UK) LimitedInventor: John Blacker

Patent number: 7250526Abstract: A catalytic transfer hydrogenation process is provided. The catalyst employed in the process is a metal hydrocarbyl complex which is coordinated to defined bidentate ligands substituted with at least one group selected from an optionally substituted sulphonated hydrocarbyl group, a sulphonated perhalogenated hydrocarbyl group, or an optionally substituted sulphonated heterocyclyl group. Preferred metals include rhodium, ruthenium and iridium. Preferred bidentate ligands are diamines and aminoalcohols, particularly those comprising chiral centres. The hydrogen donor is advantageously a secondary alcohol or a mixture of triethylamine and formic acid. The process can be employed to transfer hydrogenate ketones and imines, which are preferably prochiral. Catalysts for use in such a process are also provided.Type: GrantFiled: November 29, 2001Date of Patent: July 31, 2007Assignee: NPIL Pharmaceuticals (UK) LimitedInventors: Andrew John Blacker, Christian Bubert, Jonathan Michael Jeremy Williams, Stephen Martin Brown
