Abstract: This invention provides a process of preparation of novel polymorphic hemifumarate salts of 8-chloro-6,11-dihyfro-11-(4-piperidylidene)-5H-benzo[5,6]-cyclohepta[1,2-b]pyridine, hereinafter called “desloratadine”. These polymorphic salt forms show much higher solubility in water and also in protic organic solvents compare to the parent desloratadine. The process of preparing the polymorphic forms comprising: a) mixing the ethanolic solution of desloratadine and fumaric acid at a temperature of from about 55° C. to 70° C., and stirring for 30 to 45 minutes after mixing, and thereafter filtering the solid thereby prepared in hot condition; to yield the polymorphic form 2 having a DSC of 232° C.±2° C.; or b) mixing the ethanolic solution of desloratadine and fumaric acid at a temperature of form about 15° C. room temperature (25° C.) and stirring at this temperature for 30 to 45 minutes, then filtering at room temperature; to yield the polymorphic form 1 having a DSC of 224° C.±2° C.

Abstract: A process for preparing 5-methylisoxazole-4-carboxylic-(4′-trifluoromethyl)-anilide comprising: (a) reacting ethylacetoacetate, triethylorthoformate, and acetic anhydride at a temperature of from about 75° C. to about 150° C., to form ethyl ethoxymethyleneacetoacetic ester; (b) combining the ethyl ethoxymethyleneacetoacetic ester with sodium acetate or a salt of trifluoroacetic acid in the presence of hydroxylamine sulfate at a temperature of from about −20° C. to 10° C., to form ethyl-5-methylisoxazole-4-carboxylate; (c) reacting the ethyl-5-methylisoxazole-4-carboxylate with a strong acid to form 5-methylisoxazole-4-carboxylic acid; (d) reacting the crystallized 5-methylisoxazole-4-carboxylic acid with thionyl chloride to form 5-methylisoxazole-4-carbonyl chloride; and (e) reacting the 5-methylisoxazole-4-carbonyl chloride with trifluoromethyl aniline and an amine base at a temperature of from about 0° C. to about 50° C.
