Abstract: This invention concerns generally with a process for purifying crude pharmaceutical compositions, wherein the crude pharmaceutical composition comprises a sodium salt of Montelukast and more particularly relates to a process for the production of pharmaceutically pure preparations of Montelukast sodium using simulated moving bed technology, without requiring an intermediate acid formation step to separate isomers and to remove impurities.

Abstract: A process for the preparation on N-methyl-aryloxy-propanamine derivatives of the formula I and salts thereof. The invention also relates to the preparation and use novel intermediate of the formula XII. The invention also relates to the process of further conversion of novel intermediate into N-methyl-aryloxy propanamine derivatives and salts thereof. Wherein Q and P independently represents substituted or unsubstituted aryl group such as phenyl, naphthyl, pyridine, furanyl, pyranyl thienyl, and the like optionally substituted aryl by a halogen, a straight chain or branched alkyl group containing 1 to 6 carbon atoms, —O-alkyl group containing straight chain or branched C1-C6 alkyl group, an alkoxy group containing a straight chain or branched alkyl group having 1 to 6 carbon atoms, which comprises demethylation of N,N-dimethyl analogues of compound of formula IA.

Abstract: The present invention relates to an improved and commercially, viable process for the resolution of racemic cis milnacipran of formula I and its pharmaceutically acceptable salts of formula II. The present invention comprises using racemic cis milnacipran or its pharmaceutically acceptable salts as starting material, a low cost and commercially available resolving agent of formula III and industrially safe and economically low cost material such as water as a solvent. The said process results into optical isomers of racemic cis milnacipran having excellent optical purity without involving multiple crystallization steps. The present invention also comprises the concept of green chemistry as the invention works well with water as a solvent thereby minimizing the use of any other solvent.

Abstract: The present invention relates to an improved process for the preparation of pharmaceutically acceptable salts of milnacipran by mutual acid radical exchange.

Abstract: Process for the preparation of (S)-(?)-?-ethyl-2-oxo-1-pyrrolidineacetamide of Formula (I), comprising the steps of (i) resolution of racemic 2-amino butynamide with L-(+)-tartaric acid either in alcoholic solvents like methanol, isopropanol, ethanol or in water or mixture of water-alcohol to provide (S)-(+)-2-amino butynamide tartarate salt; and ii) direct conversion of (S)-(+)-2-amino butynamide tartarate salt and 4-halobutryl chloride in presence of inorganic or organic base in suitable solvent and drying agents yielded the desired (S)-(?)-?-ethyl-2-oxo-1-pyrrolidineacetamide (I). Further (S)-(+)-2-amino butynamide tartarate salt is converted to (S)-(+)-2-amino butynamide hydrochloride salt, by reacting with an inorganic or organic base in a suitable solvent followed by reaction with HCl gas in an appropriate solvent.

Abstract: Process for the preparation of (S)-(?)-?-ethyl-2-oxo-1-pyrrolidineacetamide of Formula (I) by the steps of condensation of (S)-2-amino butanol of Formula (II) and 4-halobutryl chloride, where halo group can be chloro, bromo or iodo in solvents to form ?-ethyl-2-oxo pyrrolidine ethanol of Formula (III); oxidation of (S)-?-ethyl-2-oxo pyrrolidine ethanol to yield (S)-?-ethyl-2-oxo pyrrolidine acetic acid having the formula (IV); esterification of (S)-?-ethyl-2-oxo pyrrolidine acetic acid (IV) with an alcohol to provide alkyl ester of Formula (V) wherein, R is 14 Carbon atom; ammonolysis of alkyl esters of formula (V) with ammonia to provide (S)-(?)—?-ethyl-2-oxo-1-pyrrolidine acetamide of formula (1).
