Abstract: The present invention relates to an improved, cost effective and easy process for the preparation of azithromycin monohydrate isopropanol clathrate. The process provides a one-step method of preparing azithromycin monohydrate isopropanol clathrate directly from 9-deoxo-9a-aza-9a-homoerythromycin A. The process comprises at least partial dissolution and/or suspension of 9-deoxo-9a-aza-9a homoerythromycin A in isopropanol to form a mixture, adding methylating solution to the said mixture, refluxing or heating said mixture to form a reaction mixture, adding alkaline solution to the reaction mixture to adjust pH from about 10 to about 11 and isolating pure azithromycin monohydrate isopropanol clathrate. The process helps in reducing the total time of preparation, total utility cost for the production and also helps to avoid handling loss.

Abstract: Process for the preparation of 2-[(diphenylmethyl)thioacetamide, an intermediate for the preparation of Modafinil which is a CNS stimulant and used for the treatment of narcolepsia. The process comprises reacting 2-[(diphenylmethyl)thio]acetic acid with alcohols, in presence of catalytic amount of inorganic acid or organic acid at reflux temperature of alcohol to obtain corresponding ester which is reacted with ammonia to give 2-[(diphenylmethyl)thio]acetamide. If desired 2-[(diphenylmethyl)thioacetamide thus produced is reacted with hydrogen peroxide to produce Modafinil.
