Patent number: 8288569Abstract: This invention relates to processes and intermediates for the stereoselective alkylation of carbonyl groups. The invention in particular allows the stereoselective preparation of the antidepressant drug escitalopram. It has been found that boric or boronic acid derivatives are useful bridging elements for the attachment of a chiral group to a compound containing a carbonyl group to be alkylated. The said borates and boronates are thus useful in a process for the asymmetric alkylation of a carbonyl group in a compound containing a carbonyl group and an anchor group capable of reacting with a boric or boronic acid derivative. The asymmetric alkylation can be carried out by admixing the compound containing a carbonyl group to be alkylated and the anchor group capable of reacting with a boric or boronic acid derivative with a boric or boronic acid derivative, adding a chiral alcohol, and adding an organometallic compound. After the alkylation reaction, the borate and boronate can be easily removed by hydrolysis.Type: GrantFiled: January 22, 2007Date of Patent: October 16, 2012Assignee: Sandoz AGInventors: Martin Albert, Hubert Sturm, Andreas Berger, Peter Kremminger

Publication number: 20110319516Abstract: Release agents with increased affinity toward nano-imprint lithography template surfaces interact strongly with the template during separation of the template from the solidified resist in a nano-imprint lithography process. The strong interaction between the surfactant and the template surface reduces the amount of surfactant pulled off the template surface during separation of a patterned layer from the template in an imprint lithography cycle. Maintaining more surfactant associated with the surface of the template after the separation of the patterned layer from the template may reduce the amount of surfactant needed in a liquid resist to achieve suitable release of the solidified resist from the template during an imprint lithography process. Strong association of the release agent with the surface of the template facilitates the formation of ultra-thin residual layers and dense fine features in nano-imprint lithography.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 7, 2011Publication date: December 29, 2011Applicant: MOLECULAR IMPRINTS, INC.Inventors: Frank Y.

Publication number: 20110009648Abstract: This invention relates to processes and intermediates for the stereoselective alkylation of carbonyl groups. The invention in particular allows the stereoselective preparation of the antidepressant drug escitalopram. It has been found that boric or boronic acid derivatives are useful bridging elements for the attachment of a chiral group to a compound containing a carbonyl group to be alkylated. The said borates and boronates are thus useful in a process for the asymmetric alkylation of a carbonyl group in a compound containing a carbonyl group and an anchor group capable of reacting with a boric or boronic acid derivative. The asymmetric alkylation can be carried out by admixing the compound containing a carbonyl group to be alkylated and the anchor group capable of reacting with a boric or boronic acid derivative with a boric or boronic acid derivative, adding a chiral alcohol, and adding an organometallic compound. After the alkylation reaction, the borate and boronate can be easily removed by hydrolysis.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 22, 2007Publication date: January 13, 2011Applicant: Sandoz AGInventors: Martin Albert, Hubert Sturm, Andreas Berger, Peter Kremminger

Publication number: 20110004023Abstract: Provided are a production method for a potassium organotrifluoroborate compound having a hydroxyl group, and a novel potassium organotrifluoroborate compound having a hydroxyl group. The production method is advantageous in that a potassium organotrifluoroborate compound can be produced in a single reaction without recourse to a process of isolating and purifying an intermediate. The novel potassium organotrifluoroborate compound having a hydroxyl group is useful as a reactant which is widely used in the total synthesis of physiologically active natural products and diverse organic synthesis reactions including halogen substitution reactions, 1,2- and 1,4-addition reactions using a rhodium (Rh) catalyst, and Suzuki coupling reactions using a palladium (Pd) catalyst.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 4, 2009Publication date: January 6, 2011Applicant: SNU R & DB FOUNDATIONInventors: Heonjoong Kang, Jungyeob Ham, Hong Ryul Ahn, Young Hee Park

Patent number: 7862984Abstract: A radiation-sensitive composition includes a free-radically polymerizable component, an initiator composition capable of generating free radicals sufficient to initiate polymerization upon exposure to imaging radiation, an infrared radiation absorbing compound, and a polymeric binder. The initiator composition includes a unique polyonium borate comprising a polyvalent onium cation with multiple onium moieties and sufficient organic borate counterions to provide a net neutral charge. The radiation-sensitive composition can be used to prepare a negative-working imageable element that is sensitive to suitable imaging infrared radiation, can be imaged at relatively low energy, and can be developed either on-press or off-press.Type: GrantFiled: March 28, 2007Date of Patent: January 4, 2011Assignee: Eastman Kodak CompanyInventors: Koji Hayashi, Jianbing Huang
