Patent number: 5936124Abstract: A synthesis of fluoxetine is disclosed. The process begins with a lower alkyl ester of 3-benzoylpropionic acid, which is reduced in the presence of a chiral ligand to produce the corresponding .gamma.-hydroxy ester, and the ester is cleaved. The free acid is then condensed with the alcohol to form a .gamma.-lactone, which is treated with ammonia to provide the .gamma.-hydroxy amide. The amide undergoes a Hoffman rearrangement to provide a 2-oxo-1,3 oxazine, which is reduced to 3-(methylamino)-1-phenyl-1-propanol. The alcohol is deprotonated and reacted with a 4-chloro- or 4-fluoro benzotrifluoride to provide fluoxetine free base.Type: GrantFiled: June 22, 1998Date of Patent: August 10, 1999Assignee: Sepacor Inc.Inventors: James Wallace Hilborn, Alex Roger Jurgens, Chris Hugh Senanayake

Patent number: 5892117Abstract: Oxidation of secondary amines with hydrogen peroxide and sodium tungstate is reported to give good yields of nitrones. However, when using dimethylamine in this manner, a considerable amount of N,N-dimethylformamide was produced as a co-product. To more selectively produce N-methylnitrone from dimethylamine, a two-step process is used which comprises (a) mixing together dimethylamine and a peroxidic compound, and subjecting the resultant mixture to reaction conditions effective to form a reaction mixture in which N,N-dimethylhydroxylamine has been formed; and (b) mixing together (i) reaction mixture from (a), (ii) a peroxidic compound, and (iii) a transition metal-containing oxidation catalyst, and subjecting the resultant mixture to reaction conditions effective to form a reaction mixture in which N-methylnitrone has been formed. Highest yields of N-methylnitrone are achieved by conducting step (b) at a pH in the range of 7 to about 12, and at a temperature in the range of about -10.degree. to about 100.Type: GrantFiled: June 12, 1997Date of Patent: April 6, 1999Assignee: Albemarle CorporationInventor: Kevin J.

Patent number: 5276192Abstract: A process for preparing phenoxyethanamines from phenols and 2-oxazolines in quantitative yields was discovered. Phosphoric acid hydrolyzes the amide intermediate from the phenol/2-oxazoline reaction without cleaving the amide at the ether linkage and without undesired aromatic ring substitution. Thus, yield to the desired phenoxyethanamines is often 98% or better, requiring no subsequent purification. In contrast, sulfuric and hydrochloric acids give these undesired side reactions. Phenoxyethanamines are useful in thermosetting resins, pharmaceuticals and as surfactants.Type: GrantFiled: April 22, 1991Date of Patent: January 4, 1994Assignee: Texaco Chemical CompanyInventors: Wei-Yang Su, George P.
