Process for the preparation of apremilast

A novel and improved process for preparation of bortezomib mannitol ester is derived, which process avoids excessive use of solvents, involves convenient, industrially feasible and economical techniques, and provides improvements in purity over processes known in the art.

Process for the preparation of bortezomib mannitol ester

The present invention provides improved processes for the preparation of Bortezomib, tert -butyl[1-({(1S)-3-methyl-1-[(3aS,4S,6S,7aS)-3a,5,5-trimethylhexahydro-4,6-methano-1,3,2-benzodioxaborol-2-yl]butyl}amino)-1-oxo-3-phenylpropan-2-yl]carbamate of formula (IV) and N-{(1S)-3-methyl-1-[(3aS,4S,6S,7aS)-3a,5,5-trimethylhexahydro-4,6-methano-1,3,2-benzodioxaborol-2-yl]butyl} phenylalanine of formula (V). Compound (IV) is prepared by coupling (1R)-3-methyl-1-[(3aS,4S,6S,7aR)-3a,5,5-trimethyl-hexahydro-4,6-methano-1,3,2-benzodioxaborol-2-yl]butan-1-amine of formula (II) or its salt with N-(tert-butoxycarbonyl)-L -phenylalanine of formula (III) in a first solvent in the presence of a first coupling agent and a first base, wherein the coupling process does not comprise solvent exchange. Compound (V) is prepared by deprotecting compound (IV) using an alcoholic solution of an inorganic acid.

An improved process for the preparation of telmisartan, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, comprises subjecting 1H-Benzimidazole-2-n-propyl-4-methyl-6-(1'-methyl benzimidazole-2&#x2032;yl)] of formula (II), and methyl-4-(bromomethyl)biphenyl-2-carboxylate of formula (III) to condensation and hydrolysis in a single step: 

Process for the preparation of telmisartan

An N-[(2'-(1-triphenyl methyl tetrazole-5-yl)biphenyl]-4-yl]methyl]-L-valine benzyl ester organic salt of formula (IVA) wherein A represents an organic carboxylic acid, a process for its preparation and its use in the synthesis of valsartan or salts thereof. 

Process for preparing valsartan

A new polymorph of moxifloxacin hydrochloride is described, together with a method for making the polymorph. In addition, new intermediates in the formation of moxifloxacin hydrochloride are described, having formulas (1) and (II): 

Process for the synthesis of moxifloxacin hydrochloride

A process for the preparation of trityl olmesartan comprising (a) condensing 4-(1-hydroxy-1-methylethyl)-2-propyl-imidazol-5-carboxylic acid alkyl ester with trityl biphenyl bromide in the presence of a polar aprotic solvent and a base selected from the group consisting of alkali metal carbonates, alkali metal hydroxides, alkali metal alkoxides, and tertiary amines to obtain a compound of formula V, b) deesterifying the compound of formula (V) with a base; and c) reacting the product of step (b) with 4-halomethyl-5-methyl-2-oxo-1,3-dioxolene of formula (IV), wherein X is halogen selected from F or Cl or Br or I, to obtain trityl olmesartan medoxomil of formula. The trityl olmesartan medoxomil may be deprotected to produce olmesartan medoxomil.
