  • Process for the preparation of galanthamine and its derivatives
    Patent number: 6184004
    Abstract: The subject invention pertains to a process for preparing a compound having a formula (4) or (5), in either optically-enriched or racemic form, wherein R1, R2, R3 and R4 are independently selected from hydrogen, alkyl, aryl, alkaryl, aralkyl and acyl groups. In one embodiment, the process of the invention comprises mixing with a plant extract obtained from crushed daffodil bulbs or crushed snowdrop bulbs an oxidative cyclisation precursor of the compound.

  • Resolution
    Patent number: 5892093
    Abstract: A reproducible process for preparing a substantially single enantiomer (R or S) of 4-cyano-4-(3,4-dimethoxyphenyl)-5-methylhexanoic acid, or an analogue thereof, thereby providing single enantiomer acid for the first time, proceeds by means of a classical salt resolution employing a resolving agent selected from an enantiomer (R or S) of a 1-arylalkylamine and (-)-quinine, and provides novel salts that are readily convertible to verapamil.

  • Ring-opening amidation process
    Patent number: 5777138
    Abstract: A process for amidating a 2-azabicyclo?2.2.1!heptan-3-one or a 2-azabicyclo?2.2.1!hept-5-en-3-one by reaction with an amine, to form the corresponding ring-opened amide, is modified by the addition of an additive that accelerates the rate of reaction to an extent that the reaction can be carried out at atmospheric pressure.
