METHOD FOR PRODUCING N-BENZYL-2-BROMO-3-METHOXYPROPIONAMIDE AND INTERMEDIATES THEREOF

The present invention provides an industrially-preferable method for safely producing N-benzyl-2-bromo-3-methoxypropionamide at a high yield but at low cost. The method for producing of the present invention includes: in sequence, an amidation process that causes diacrylic anhydride to react with benzylamine in a solvent to obtain N-benzylacrylamide; a bromination process that causes N-benzylacrylamide to react with bromine in a solvent to obtain N-benzyl-2,3-dibromopropionamide; and a methoxylation process that causes N-benzyl-2,3-dibromopropionamide to react with methanol in the presence of a base to obtain N-benzyl-2-bromo-3-methoxypropionamide.

PROCESS FOR THE PREPARATION OF LACOSAMIDE

There is provided a process for the preparation of Lacosamide (which is a useful medicament) of formula I, which comprises an enantioselective enzymatic acylation.
