The present invention relates to an improved process for the preparation of Letrozole (I) and its synthetic intermediate 4-[(1-(1,2,4-triazoly)methyl]benzonitrile (III). In particular, it relates to a process to prepare Letrozole and its intermediate (III) substantially free from regioisomeric impurities. The present invention further relates to acid addition salts of 4-[(1-(1,2,4-triazoly)methyl]benzonitrile (III) such as the oxalate salt, and also to Letrozole (I), the intermediate (III) and salts thereof preparable by the processes of the present invention.

Pure intermediate

The present invention relates to improved processes for preparing 3-(4-amino-1-oxo-1,3-dihydro-isoindol-2-yl)-piperidine-2,6-dione (I) (lenalidomide) and its intermediate 3-(1-oxo-4-nitro-1,3-dihydro-isoindol-2-yl)-piperidine-2,6-dione. The present invention further relates to improved processes for preparing lenalidomide crystalline form A, use of said crystalline form A as an active pharmaceutical ingredient or as an intermediate in the preparation of further crystalline or amorphous forms of lenalidomide, compositions comprising lenalidomide crystalline form A and their use in the treatment of disease.
