Abstract: The invention discloses the preparation method of 7-ethyl-10-hydroxycamptothecin from 4-ethyl-7,8-dihydro-4-hydroxy-1H-pyrano[3,4-f]indolizine-3,6,10(4H)-trione and 1-(2-amino-5-hydroxyphenyl)-propan-1-one using higher reaction temperature and faster heating to that temperature.

Abstract: The present invention is directed to a novel method for the preparation of high purity irinotecan. This can be achieved by eliminating the excess of the other reagent, bipiperidinyl-1?-carbonyl chloride after it has reacted with 7-ethyl-10-hydroxy camptothecin and crystallizing the final product from a suitable solvent.

Abstract: The present invention is related to a process for the preparation of [1,4?]bipiperidinyl-1?-carbonyl chloride or its hydrochloride using methylene chloride as a solvent in the reaction of 4-piperidinopiperidine with phosgene and the removing the reaction solvent by using an additional distillation solvent to raise the distillation temperature.
