- FENFLURAMINE COMPOSITIONS AND METHODS OF PREPARING THE SAME
-
Methods of preparing a fenfluramine active pharmaceutical ingredient are provided. Aspects of the method include (a) hydrolyzing a 2-(3-(trifluoromethyl)phenyl)acetonitrile composition to produce a 2-(3-(trifluoromethyl)phenyl)acetic acid composition; (b) reacting the 2-(3-(trifluoromethyl)phenyl)acetic acid composition with acetic anhydride and a catalyst to produce a 1-(3-(trifluoromethyl)phenyl)propan-2-one composition; and (c) reductively aminating the 1-(3-(trifluoromethyl)phenyl)propan-2-one composition with ethylamine using a borohydride reducing agent to produce a fenfluramine composition. Also provided are compositions and pharmaceutical ingredients prepared according to the subject methods including a pharmaceutically acceptable salt of fenfluramine and having less than 0.2% by weight in total of trifluoromethyl regioisomers.

- Epoxides, amino alcohols, and aziridines as key intermediates in the asymmetric synthesis of (S)-fenfluramine
-
The epoxides 3E, 3Z and 8 were obtained from the isomeric alkenes 2E, 2Z and 7.The epoxides were ring-opened by ethylamine in ethanol yielding mixtures of the amino alcohols 4E and 11E, 4T and 11T, and 9, respectively, which were transformed into the aziridines 5trans, 5cis and 12.The regiospecific Pd/C-catalyzed reduction of these aziridines gave fenfluramine 1.The three epoxides 3trans, 3cis and 8 were reduced regiospecifically into 1-propan-2-ol 6, a potent precursor to fenfluramine 1.The validity of our method for asymmettric synthesis has been demonstrated by a synthesis of (S)-fenfluramine 1 starting from the amino alcohol (S)-9.Keyword - fenfluramine / asymmetric synthesis / epoxide / amino alcohol / aziridine / regiospecific catalytic hydrogenation / 1-propan-2-ols

- Syntheses of (S)-fenfluramine from (R) or (S)-1-propan-2-ol
-
(R) and (S)-1-propan-2-ol 3 are useful intermediates in the synthesis of fenfluramine (S)-1.They can be obtained from optically active propylene oxide (R) or (S)-7.The alcohol (R)-3 was transformed in two steps into (S)-fenfluramine using the action of ethylamine on a sulfonate (R)-4.We describe a new one-pot synthesis for (S)-fenfluramine from the azide (S)-5, which was obtained from the alcohol (R)-3 in two steps.We also propose an original and rapid procedure to transform the alcohol (S)-3 into (S)-fenfluramine via the chloride (R)-14 and the azide (S)-5, without preliminary inversion of the alcohol.All of these reactions have been achieved without any loss of chirality.Keywords - 1-propan-2-ol / fenfluramine / asymmetric synthesis / chiral methyloxirane / nucleophilic substitution

- Reductive Amination of Ketones and Aldehydes at the Mercury-Cathode
-
Secondary amines are prepared in good yields by potential-controlled reduction of aldehydes or ketones at a mercury cathode in an aqueous solution containing a primary amine.For cyclic ketones, high diastereoselectivities are obtained in some cases.
