The present invention relates to new enantiomerically pure pyridylcycloalkylethylamines of formula 1a and 1b, the salts thereof as well as to methods of preparing them and their use as intermediate products. ##STR1##

Enantiomerically pure pyridylcycloalkylethylamines and the salts thereof

Method for preparing 3-amino-2-chloro-4-alkylpyridine or-4-arylpyridine

A method of preparing sugar acetonides, such as for example 1,2:5,6-Di-O-isopropylidene-.alpha.-D-glucofuranose, by reacting the corresponding sugar, e.g. D-(+)-glucose, with acetone in the presence of a Lewis acid and a carboxylic acid derivative of general formula ##STR1## wherein X is a leaving group which may be readily replaced by a hydroxyl group.

Process for preparing sugar acetonides

A process for preparing nevirapine which comprises reacting 2-chloro-N-(2-chloro-4-methyl-3-pyridyl)-3-pyridine carboxamide with cyclopropylamine followed by cyclisation of the product, wherein the reaction with cyclopropylamine is carried out in the presence of an oxide or hydroxide of an element of the second main or sub-group of the periodic table of elements.

Process for preparing nevirapine

The present invention relates to a process for preparing 3-amino-9,13b-dihydro-1H-dibenz[c,f]-imidazo[1,5-a]azepine-hydrochloride, as follows: a) hydrogenating 6-phthalimidomethyl-5H-dibenz[b,e]-azepine, to produce 6-(phthalimidomethyl)-6,11-dihydro-5H-dibenz[b,e]azepine; b) reacting the 6-(phthalimidomethyl)-6,11-dihydro-5H-dibenz[b,e]azepine with hydrazine, to produce 6-aminomethyl-6,11-dihydro-5H-dibenz[b,e]azepine; c) reacting the 6-aminomethyl-6,11-dihydro-5H-dibenz[b,e]azepine with bromooyanogen, to produce 3-amino-9,13b-dihydro-1H-dibenz[c,f]imidazo[1,5-a]azepine; and d) precipitating the 3-amino-9,13b-dihydro-1H-dibenz[c,f]imidazo[1,5-a]azepine in the presence of DMF and HCl, to produce 3-amino-9,13b-dihydro-1H-dibenz[c,f]imidazo[1,5-a]azepine-hydrochloride.

Process for preparing

The invention relates to an improved process for the catalytic hydrogenation of DAHNP and a new process for preparing 2,4-diamino-5-formylamino-6-hydroxypyrimidine.
