  • Patent number: 10189760
    Abstract: Disclosed is a method for synthesizing a sitagliptin intermediate, the method comprising: in the presence of hydrogen and a transition metal catalyst having a chiral phosphine ligand, subjecting a compound of formula II to an asymmetric reductive amination with ammonia or ammonium salt in a proper organic solvent under the condition of adding an acidic additive to produce a compound of formula I, wherein, an R- or S-configuration of a stereocenter is represented by *; the compound of formula I of R configuration can be used to prepare sitagliptin, and a reaction formula is as follows: R1 and R2 are each independently selected from hydrogen, C1-C12 linear or branched alkyl, C3-C12 cycloalkyl, C2-C12 alkenyl, C2-C12 alkynyl and C7-C12 arylalkyl. The method has a high yield and a high ee % value, a mild reaction condition and a low production cost, and is simple to operate, convenient to purify, environmental friendly and suitable for industrial production.

  • Patent number: 6924082
    Abstract: The present application describes a method for information storage and data processing comprising the steps of thermo inducing or photo inducing double-bond shifts (DBS) in substituted (4n)-annulenes thus generating transitions between two different conjugation states with at least one substituent. The two different conjugation states are the conjugation on-state and conjugation off-state of the annulene core ?-electrons with the substituent ?-electrons. The present invention is furthermore related to novel substituted (4n)-heptalenes being optically and/or thermally switchable, based on thermal or photochemical double-bond shifts (DBS) as well as methods for their preparation. The (4n)-heptalenes can be used for information storage and data processing devices.
