Abstract: A method of preparation of (S)-N-methyl-3-(1-naphthyloxy)-3-(2-mienyl)propylamine of Formula (I) and its pharmaceutically acceptable salts, comprising a) reaction of (RS)-N,N-dimethyl-3-(1-naphthyloxy)-3-(2-thienyl)propylamine with optically active D-tartaric acid or an acid salt derived from D-tartaric acid forming a mixture of diastereoisomeric salts of N,N-dimethyl-3-(1-naphthyloxy)-3-(2-thienyl)propylamine and D-tartaric acid (2:1), b) isolation of the salt (S)-N,N-dimethyl-3-(naphthyloxy) -3-(2-thienyl)propylamine/D-tartrate (2:1) from the mixture of diastereoisomeric salts in an organic solvent, water or a mixture thereof and release of (S)-N,N-dimethyl-3-(1-naphthyloxy)-3-(2-thienyl)propylamine by action of an inorganic or organic base, c) demethylation of (S)-N,N-dimethyl-3-(1-naphthyloxy)-3-(2-thienyl)propylamine by action of an alkylchloroformate of formula ClCOOR (R=C1-C5 alkyl, or C6-C12 aryl or alkylraryl), especially phenyl, ethyl or methyl chloroformate, and d) hydrolytic release of the duloxet

Abstract: A process for the preparation of (1S)-QR)-I-azabicyclo[2.2.2.]oct-3-yl 3,4-dihydro-1-phenyl-2(1H)-isoquinoline carboxylate by reacting (1S)-alkyl 1-phenyl-1,2,3,4-tetrahydro-2-isoquinoline carboxylate with 3-(R)-quinuclidol in an inert solvent, where a primary alkyl ester of the carboxylate whose alkyl length is C1-C4 is used and the reaction is catalyzed by a non-nucleophilic base.

Abstract: A method of preparation of (S)-N-methyl-3-(1-naphthyloxy)-3-(2-thienyl)propylamine of formula (I) or its pharmaceutically acceptable salt, in which (RS)-N,N-dimethyl-3-(1-naphthyloxy)-3-(2-thienyl)propylamine of formula (III) is reacted with an optically active acid, after which a crystallization is made of that diastereoisomer which yields, by reaction with an inorganic or organic base, (S)-N,N-dimethyl-3-(1-naphthyloxy)-3-(2-thienyl)propylamine of formula (S)-III, which is then demethylated using alkylchloroformates, followed by a hydrolysis and optional conversion of the compound of formula (I) to its salt.

Abstract: A method of purification of (5)-7V-methyl-3-(1-naphthyloxy)-3-(2-thienyl)propylamine hydrochloride of formula I, comprising (a) transformation of the substance of formula I to its free base by the action of an organic or inorganic base in an aqueous environment; and (b) transformation of the base of the substance of formula I to crystalline hydrochloride by the action of hydrochloric acid or gaseous HCl in an organic solvent or a mixture of organic solvents. A method of purification of (S)-N-methyl-3-(1-naphthyloxy)-3-(2-thienyl)propylamine hydrochloride of formula I, comprising dissolution of this substance in a minimum quantity of methanol containing 0 to 50% of water and its transformation back to the solid phase (precipitation) by addition of a less polar solvent.
