  • Publication number: 20220089455
    Abstract: [Problem] A novel method for producing a nanoparticle having a metal particle which contains iron oxide to which one or more hydrophilic ligands are coordination bonded is provided, where the nanoparticle is useful as a contrast agent for magnetic resonance imaging. [Means for Solution] As the novel method for producing a nanoparticle having a metal particle which contains iron oxide to which one or more hydrophilic ligands are coordination bonded, by performing ligand exchange to a hydrophilic ligand from an iron oxide nanoparticle having a surface to which a hydrophobic ligand is coordination bonded in one step using a phase transfer catalyst, it is possible to expect shortening of production processes and reduction of hydrophilic ligands used. Furthermore, by producing an iron oxide nanoparticle having a surface to which a hydrophobic ligand is coordination bonded using a dropwise addition method, it is possible to avoid a rapid temperature rise and a reaction at a high temperature of 200° C.

  • Patent number: 10508084
    Abstract: The present invention provides a method for producing a 4,4,7-trifluoro-1,2,3,4-tetrahydro-5H-1-benzazepine compound which has an superior agonistic activity to an arginine vasopressin V2 receptor and is useful as an active ingredient for a pharmaceutical composition for preventing and/or treating urinary frequency, urinary incontinence, enuresis, central diabetes insipidus, nocturia, nocturnal enuresis, or the like; and useful intermediates for use in the methods. The production method of the present invention is suitable for the industrial production of a medicament, because of a smaller number of steps, a higher yield, and a lower cost, as compared with the methods in the related art.
