Description

PREPARATION OF ACTIVE PHARMACEUTICAL INGREDIENTS AND INTERMEDIATES THEREOF
Field of the Invention
The present invention provides processes for the preparation of active
pharmaceutical ingredients and intermediates thereof in an aqueous designer smart surfactant solution.
Background of the Invention
Most pharmaceutical compounds are synthesized using organic solvents as the reaction medium and as extraction solvents. This is due to the solubility of most of the organic substrates, reagents, and catalysts in organic solvents. Thus, organic solvents make up most of the organic waste created during synthesis. In view of growing concerns over Environmental Health and Safety (EHS) and stringent rules regulating the use and disposal of organic solvents, there is a need for developing non-hazardous alternatives for synthesizing pharmaceutical compounds. A way forward in this regard is to use water as a solvent instead of organic solvents, as this will radically reduce the use of organic solvents. However, the use of water as a solvent is in itself limited due to the insolubility of most of the organic substrates in water, and in most of the cases, either the reaction does not take place at all, or the reaction yield is low. The use of conventional surfactants such as sodium dodecylsulfate, cetyltrimethylammonium chloride, dodecyltrimethylammonium chloride, and sodium dodecyl benzene sulphonate for increasing the solubility of organic substrates in water is described in Green Chem., 2015, 17, 644-683. Although the use of such conventional surfactants increases the solubility of organic substrates in water by lowering the interfacial tension between the substrate and water, they often disperse the reactants resulting in slow reaction rates. Thus, there exists a need in the art for developing faster and high yielding processes for the synthesis of active pharmaceutical ingredients and intermediates thereof using water as the solvent. U.S. Patent No.
8,785,665; Green Chem., 2016, 18, 14-19; and Green Chem., 2015, 17, 644-683, in general, describe the use of specifically designed aqueous, designer smart surfactant solutions developed by Lipshutz and coworkers for carrying out various chemical reactions, without providing specific examples of any active pharmaceutical ingredients.
The present invention provides the use of an aqueous designer smart surfactant solution for synthesizing active pharmaceutical ingredients and intermediates thereof. Summary of the Invention
The present invention provides ecofriendly, cost-effective, and industrially advantageous process for the preparation of active pharmaceutical ingredients and intermediates thereof using an aqueous designer smart surfactant solution.

More specifically, the present invention provides the use of an aqueous designer smart surfactant solution for preparing active pharmaceutical ingredients selected from those used as antidiabetics; antibiotics; antimicrobials; analgesics; anti-allergics; antiasthmatics; anticancer drugs; CNS drugs such as antidepressants, antianxiety drugs, anti- Parkinson's drugs, antiepileptics and neuroleptic drugs; cardiovascular drugs such as diuretics, hypolipidemics, antiarrhythmics, vasodilators, anti-anginals, and

Layers were separated and dichloromethane (300 mL) was again added to the aqueous layer at 10°C to 20°C. The contents were stirred for 10 minutes, and then allowed to settle for 10 minutes. Layers were separated. De-ionized water (300 mL) was added to the combined organic layers. The contents were stirred for 5 minutes and then allowed to settle for 10 minutes. The organic layer was evaporated under reduced pressure at a temperature not exceeding 40°C to obtain a residue. Dichloromethane (1000 mL) was added to the residue. The contents were stirred for 15 minutes, and taken as such to the next step (water content at this stage should not be more than 0.15 % w/w).
