(D): [Formula 1]

and filed a patent application for the invention (PCT/JP08/065365).

Generally, properties of salts of compounds and those crystals that are useful as pharmaceuticals are highly important for the development of pharmaceuticals, because the properties greatly affect bioavailability of drugs, purity of drug substances, formulation of preparations, and the like. Therefore, it is necessary to research which salts and crystal forms of the compound of the formula (1) are most excellent as pharmaceuticals. Specifically, since their properties depend on the character of the individual compounds, it is generally difficult to estimate salts and crystal forms for drug substances having excellent properties and it is demanded to actually make various studies for each compound.

When the precipitated solid was collected by filtration through a glass filter, the solid was precipitated in the filtrate. The precipitated solid was collected by filtration through a glass filter and dried under reduced pressure at room temperature to obtain 38.02 mg of the title compound as white solid crystals. ¹H-NMR (400 MHz, DMSO-d₆) δ (ppm): 1.97 (m, IH), 2.17 (m₅ 2H), 2.29 (m, IH), 2.32 (brd, J = 1 Hz, 3H), 4.00 (s, 3H), 4.30 (m, 2H), 4.52 (dd, J = 9, 6 Hz, IH), 7.25 (brd, J = 8 Hz, IH), 7.37 (d, J = 16 Hz₅ IH), 7.38 (d, J = 8 Hz, IH), 7.50 (brdd, J = 8 Hz, IH)₅ 7.54 (d, J = 16 Hz, IH), 7.61 (brdd, J = 8 Hz, IH), 7.72 (brs, IH), 7.77 (brd, J = 8 Hz, IH), 7.98 (d, J = 8 Hz₅ IH)₅ 9.24 (brs, IH).

This article is part of the Japanese Society for Process Chemistry special issue.

Process studies of E2212 (1) toward rapid clinical introduction are described. Through comprehensive route-finding studies and optimization of key condensation and cyclization steps, a racemate-based manufacturing route was established and successfully scaled-up to the hundred kilogram scale. For the rapid delivery of a drug substance containing the Z isomer for preclinical safety studies, the successful scale-up of the photoisomerization of an olefin in a flow system is also presented.
