Abstract: A process for the synthesis of Cannabidiol of formula (1): (1) is herein disclosed. The process comprises contacting a solution [solution (S1)] of (+)-p-mentha-diene-3-ol of formula (4) (4) or an ester thereof and olivetol of formula (3): (3) with a solution [solution (S2)] of a non-supported Lewis acid in a continuous flow reactor and treatment of the resulting mixture with a basic solution. The process offers the advantage that it can be conveniently carried out on an industrial scale while avoiding the formation of abnormal CBD and THC (?9-tetrahydrocannabinol).

Abstract: The present invention relates to solid forms of 13-(N-Boc-?-isobutylserinyl)-14-? hydroxybaccatin III 1, 14-carbonate (Ortataxel). Amorphous Form A, crystalline Form B, mixtures thereof and processes for preparing them are disclosed. Amorphous Form A is prepared by fast precipitation of Ortataxel from a mixture of acetone and water. Form A transforms in Form B when suspended and stirred in a mixture of ethanol and water for 4-8 hours. If the suspension is stirred for less than 4 hours, mixtures of Form B and Form A are obtained. Form B or mixtures of Forms A and B can also be obtained dissolving Ortataxel in a protic organic solvent, followed by addition of water.
