  • Publication number: 20220048852
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a 5-step process for preparing iosimenol starting from ammonium 3-amino-5-(aminocarbonyl)benzoate which is first converted to 3-amino-5-(aminocarbonyl)-2,4,6-triiodobenzoic acid using sodium iodine dichloride (NaICl2). The present invention further relates to processes for purifying iosimenol.

  • Patent number: 11104650
    Abstract: An improved process for preparing 2-chloro-4-nitroimidazole derivatives which are useful intermediates in the preparation of an anti-tuberculosis drug is provided. The process may comprise the step of chlorinating nitroimidazoles with a chlorinating agent and an activating agent to give 2-chloro-4-nitroimidazole derivatives.

  • Patent number: 11098067
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a method of production of 4-boronophenylalanine (BPA) from 4-iodophenylalanine, in which all the functional groups of the amino acid are protected by benzyl protection method, and which uses isopropyl magnesium halogenide stabilized by a complexation base, and subsequent condensation of the resulting Grignard reagent with a boric acid ester. The final reaction step, catalytic hydrogenolysis or transfer hydrogenolysis of protecting groups on the amino acid, occurs after hydrolysis of the boronate ester groups.
