Abstract: Processes for preparing amino alcohols or salts thereof and sulfonamide substituted alcohol compounds are provided. Desirably, the sulfonamide substituted alcohol compounds are heterocyclic sulfonamide trifluoroalkyl-substituted alcohol compounds or phenyl sulfonamide trifluoroalkyl-substituted alcohol compounds.

Abstract: There is provided a process for the preparation of substituted amino alcohols HO—(CH2)n—NR1R2 from haloalcohols HO—(CH2)n—X, where X is Cl, Br or I, by reaction with an amine HNR1R2, in water as solvent at a temperature range of about 20° C. to about 90° C. optionally in the presence of a catalytic amount of an iodide source metal iodides. The haloalcohols are useful in the preparation of 6-[(substituted)phenyl]-triazolopyrimidine compounds which are useful in the treatment of cancer.

Abstract: A convenient preparation of boron-containing compounds, borate salts, pyrrolecarbonitrile boron-containing compounds, N-substituted-pyrrole-2-carbonitrile boron-containing compounds, and derivatives thereof is provided. The present invention also provides for the use of these boron-containing compounds and derivatives thereof in coupling reactions to provide bi-aryl compounds.

Abstract: Methods for purifying a compound of formula I are provided, wherein A, B X, Q, and R1 are defined herein. The methods include mixing the compound of formula I and a solvent; adding a base to the solvent; and precipitating purified compound of formula I.

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.
