Detailed Description of the Invention The inventors have developed a process for the preparation of pure levetiracetam, by obtaining a solution of crude levetiracetam in one or more solvents; removing undissolved material; and recovering the pure levetiracetam having optical purity more than 99.5% from the solution thereof by the removal of the solvent. The inventors also have developed pharmaceutical compositions that contain the pure levetiracetam having optical purity more than 99.5% for example, more than 99.8%, in admixture with one or more solid or liquid pharmaceutical diluents, carriers, and/or excipients. The levetiracetam may be prepared by the methods known in the literature. In particular, it may be prepared using the reactions and techniques described in U.S. Patent No. 4,943,639; PCT patent application WO 01/64637; and British patent GB 2225322. The term "crude levetiracetam" includes levetiracetam having optical purity of not less than 90%. In general, the solution of crude levetiracetam may be obtained by dissolving crude levetiracetam in a suitable solvent. Alternatively, such a solution may be obtained directly from a reaction in which levetiracetam is formed. The solvent containing crude levetiracetam may be heated to obtain a solution. It can be heated from about 30°C to about reflux temperature of the solvent used, for example from about 30°C to about 100°C. The term "obtaining" includes dissolving, slurrying, stirring or a combination thereof. The pure levetiracetam may be recovered from the solution by a technique which includes, for example, distillation, distillation under vacuum, filtration, filtration under vacuum, evaporation, decantation, and centrifugation. The term "suitable solvent" includes any solvent or solvent mixture in which crude levetiracetam is soluble, including, for example, ketone, nitrile, hydrocarbon, chlorinated hydrocarbon and mixtures thereof.

Additional or second solvent may be added to residue obtained after concentration and it may be cooled before filtration to obtain better yields of the pure levetiracetam. Examples of additional/second solvent include esters such as ethyl acetate, isobutyl acetate and isopropyl acetate; hydrocarbons such as hexane, cyclohexane, toluene and heptane; lower alkyl ethers such as diethyl ether, diisopropyl ether and mixtures thereof.
