  • Patent number: 9765036
    Abstract: The invention relates to the synthesis of a therapeutic agent which is effective against American trypanosomiasis (Chagas disease) caused by the protozoa Tripanosoma cruzi and transmitted by blood-sucking insects of the genera Triatoma or Rhodnius. This synthesis method is carried out in one step, in a solid state. It is a clean, simple, economical, rapid, easily implemented method, does not involve acid or base catalysts in the synthesis process, and is also environmentally friendly. It is a synthesis method for producing N-benzyl-2-(2-nitro-1-H-imidazol-1-yl)acetamide from the N-benzyl-2-hydroxyacetamide and 2-nitro-1H-imidazol reaction mixture, using microwave irradiation as an activation source in order to produce the N-benzyl-2-(2-nitro-1H-imidazol-1-yl)acetamide.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 7112681
    Abstract: A synthesis procedure for the manufacture of byphenylimidazolyl-(1)-phenylmethane involves the reduction of 4-phenyl-benzophenone and subsequent reaction of biphenyl-phenyl-carbinol with imidazole. In a preferred form, there are two synthesis steps, the first step being the reduction of 4-phenyl-benzophenone to biphenyl-phenyl-carbinol being with sodium borohydride in the presence of alumina, and the second step being the reaction between biphenyl-phenyl-carbinol and imidazole assisted by microwaves, in the absence of any organic or inorganic solvents, obtaining a yield between 70 to 74% of pure product in a total reaction time of no more than three hours.
