The potent platelet glycoprotein IIb/IIIa antagonist, roxifiban, is produced in crystalline form. Crystalline roxifiban exists in two polymorphic forms, designated Form 1 and Form 2. These polymorphic forms are characterized by x-ray powder diffraction and solid-state carbon NMR. Pharmaceutical compositions and methods for the treatment or prevention of diseases mediated by platelet aggregation are described.

Crystalline roxifiban

The present invention relates generally to novel methods for the synthesis of cyclopropylacetylene which is an essential reagent in the asymmetric synthesis of (S)-6-chloro-4-cyclopropylethynyl-4-trifluoromethyl-1,4-dihydro-2H-3,1-benzoxazin-2-one; a useful human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) reverse transcriptase inhibitor. In the process, cyclopropane carboxaldehyde is condensed with malonic acid to form 3-cyclopropylacrylic acid; 3-cyclopropylacrylic acid is halogenated to form (E,Z)-1-halo-2-cyclopropylethylene; and (E,Z)-1-halo-2-cyclopropylethylene is dehydrohalogenated to form cyclopropyl acetylene. This improvement provides for high conversion of inexpensive, readily available starting materials into cyclopropylacetylene, high overall yields and can be conducted on an industrial scale.

Process for the preparation of cyclopropylacetylene

The present invention relates generally to novel methods for the synthesis of cyclopropylacetylene which is an essential reagent in the asymmetric synthesis of (S)-6-chloro-4-cyclopropylethynyl-4-trifluoromethyl-1,4-dihydro-2H-3,1-benzoxazin-2-one; a useful human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) reverse transcriptase inhibitor. In the process, for example, cyclopropane carboxaldehyde is alkylated to form 1,1,1-trichloro-2-cyclopropyl-ethanol; which in turn is hydroxy protected to form 1,1,1-trichloro-2-cyclopropylethyltosylate; which in turn undergoes elimination to form cyclopropyl acetylene. This improvement provides for high conversion of inexpensive, readily available starting materials into cyclopropylacetylene, high overall yields and can be conducted on an industrial scale.

The present invention relates to processes for the synthesis of a crystalline polymorph of 10,10-Bis((2-fluoro-4-pyridinyl)methyl)-9(10H)-Anthracenone in high purity. The product is useful in the synthesis of pharmaceutical compounds for the reduction of cholinergic system dysfunction.

The present invention relates generally to novel methods for the synthesis of cyclopropylacetylene which is an essential reagent in the asymmetric synthesis of (S)-6-chloro-4-cyclopropylethynyl-4-trifluoromethyl-1,4-dihydro-2H-3,1-ben zoxazin-2-one; a useful human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) reverse transcriptase inhibitor. In the process, cyclopropane carboxaldehyde is condensed with malonic acid to form 3-cyclopropylacrylic acid; 3-cyclopropylacrylic acid is halogenated to form (E,Z)-1-halo-2-cyclopropylethylene; and (E,Z)-1-halo-2-cyclopropylethylene is dehydrohalogenated to form cyclopropyl acetylene. This improvement provides for high conversion of inexpensive, readily available starting materials into cyclopropylacetylene, high overall yields and can be conducted on an industrial scale.

The present invention relates generally to a novel method for preparation of substituted isoxazolin-5-yl acetic acid in high optical purity from a stereoisomeric mixture of an esterified substituted isoxazolin-5-yl acetate. The products are useful in the synthesis of compounds for pharmaceuticals, especially the treatment of thrombolytic disorders, and agricultural products.
