A general and one pot synthesis for the preparation of bisphosphonic acids and their sodium salts (2a-e) from nitriles (3a-e) is described. This method involves hydrolysis of nitriles (3a-e) to the corresponding acids and subsequent bisphosphonation in a single solvent to produce bisphonates (2a-e). Preparations of some of bisphosphonates, which are presently in clinical use like risedronate (2a) sodium, ibandronate sodium (2d) are synthesized by following this new method. This method is useful for the preparation of other bisphosphonate compounds.
A simple and efficient procedure for the selective synthesis of finasteride Form-I from bis-finasteride tetrahydrofuran monohydrate solvate in good yield using ecofriendly solvent water at ambient temperature is established. Powder X-Ray diffraction data (PXRD), and Differential scanning calorimetric (DSC) data of bis-finasteride tetrahydrofuran monohydrate solvate are given.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
