Abstract: A scalable process for the preparation of a rapamycin 42-ester by reacting a rapamycin 42-ester boronate with a diol and purifying crude rapamycin 42-ester by recrystallization and treatment with a diol is provided. Also provided is a method for isolating and purifying a rapamycin 42-ester boronate from mother liquors comprising acetone and rapamycin contaminants.

Abstract: The present invention relates to processes for synthesizing piperazine-piperidine compounds, and compounds useful as 5-HT1A binding agents, particularly as 5-HT1A receptor antagonists and agonists. The processes also allow for safer and environmentally tolerant production of these useful compounds.

Abstract: The instant invention concerns processes for the production of pyrrole-2-carbonitriles such as 1-methylpyrrole-2-carbonitrile. Such processes preferably comprise the steps of reacting a pyrrole with chlorosulfonyl isocyanate in the presence of a solvent and contacting the resulting product with a molar excess of an amide such as N,N-dimethylformamide. The product of this contacting step is then contacted with a molar excess of an organic base to produce a precipitate and a solution phase. The precipitate is then separated from the solution phase and the corresponding pyrrole-2-carbonitrile is isolated from the resulting solution phase.
