MYCOPHENOLIC ACID RECYCLING IN A METHOD FOR THE PREPARATION OF MYCOPHENOLATE MOFETIL
The present invention provides a method for the preparation of mycophenolate mofetil wherein mycophenoiic acid is mixed with 2-morpholinoethanol in a water-immiscible solvent, followed by addition of water and adjustment of the pH to a value ranging from 0 to 3 or ranging from 7 to 10 and separating the organic and aqueous phases. Mycophenolate mofetil is isolated from the relevant phase and the mycophenoiic acid present in the alternate phase is re-used in a conversion of mycophenoiic acid to mycophenolate mofetil.

METHOD FOR THE PURIFICATION OF MYCOPHENOLATE MOFETIL
The present invention provides a method for the preparation of mycophenolate mofetil wherein mycophenolic acid or an amine salt of mycophenolic acid is esterified with 2-morpholinoethanol, the resulting mixture is extracted into water at a pH-value between 1.0 and 3.0, and mycophenolate mofetil is back-extracted in a water-immiscible solvent at a pH-value between 3.0 and 5.0.
