Abstract: Methods of making indazoles are described. The methods involved reacting an aromatic aldehyde with a nitrogen source to form a nitroso aromatic aldehyde. The nitroso aromatic aldehyde is reacted with a reducing agent to form an indazole which ultimately can be used to form desired indazoles which are preferably pharmaceutically active products. The process of the present invention further permits the formation of enantiomerically enriched or pure indazoles such as aminoalkyl indazoles.

Abstract: Novel processes useful in the preparation of 11-oxa prostaglandin analogs are disclosed.

Abstract: A process for making acrylmaleic acid and arylmaleic anhydride derivative useful as intermediates for the preparation of arylmaleimides in the synthesis of compounds having activity in the central nervous system. The process involves reacting arylacetonitriles with glyoxylic acid to provide novel intermediate 3-aryl-3-cyanopropeneoates which may be converted to the arylmaleic acid and arylmaleic anhydride derivatives.

Abstract: The invention provides a novel process for producing N-[3-(1H-imidazol-1-yl)phenyl]-4-(substituted)-2 pyrimidinamine compounds in which the substituent is a 2-pyridinyl, 3-pyrindinyl, 4-pyridinyl, 2-furanyl or 2-thienyl group. The process includes the steps of (1) reacting a 3-(1H-imidazol-1-yl)benzamine with cyanamide and a halogen acid while controlling the pH of the reaction between pH about 2 to abourt 3.5 and recovering a [3-(1H-imidazol-1-yl)phenyl] guanidine dihydrohalide and (2) reacting the [3-(1H-imidazol-1-yl)phenyl] guanidine dihydrohalide so recovered with an appropriately substituted 3-dimethylamino-1-(substituted)-2-propen-1-one and a base at a pH of from about 10.5 to about 11.5 and recovering the N-[3-(1H-imidazol-1-yl)phenyl-4-(substituted)-2-pyrimidamine compound so produced. The novel process provides improved yield and purity by adhering to the stated crucial pH ranges.

Abstract: An improved process for the large scale production of the compound (3.beta.,5.alpha.)-3-hydroxycholest-8(14)-en-15-one is described and two new compounds which have utility as intermediates in synthetic routes to the subject compound are disclosed.
