A novel scalable four-step process has been developed to improve the synthesis of obeticholic acid (OCA). The key step of this process was the isolation of the amide intermediate, which underwent hydrogenation, basic epimerization, ketone reduction, and amide hydrolysis in a one-pot procedure. The use of efficient single recrystallization for the final purification in this process made the corresponding work-up procedure more concise and environmentally friendly. A kilogram-scale production of OCA following this process could achieve over 70% yield with all impurities controlled below 0.10%.

Environmentally friendly and long PL lifespan Mn-doped CuInZnS (Mn:CIZS) and CuInZnS/ZnS (Mn:CIZS/ZnS) QDs, with respective red and yellow emissions, were synthesized using nontoxic precursors via a facile dual-step process based on the one-pot method. The resulting Mn:CIZS and Mn:CIZS/ZnS QDs exhibited confirmed strong red and yellow photoluminescence emissions at approximately 654 nm and 580 nm, respectively. The measured PL decay lifespan for the Mn: CIZS QDs is 2.52 μs due to well-organized surface passivation through the ZnS shell; the average PL lifespan for the Mn:CIZS/ZnS QDs is extended to 6.28 μs. Moreover, the WLEDs were composed of the Mn:CIZS/ZnS QDs. The resulting WLEDs offered admirable optical attributes, such as an excellent Ra of 89, a low Tc of 5075 K and radiant white light emanation at 60 mA functional current. Therefore, the outputs highlight the Mn:CIZS/ZnS QDs as hopeful cadmium-free resources for the interest of optoelectronics exploration.

A novel approach to the synthesis of 7-amino-5-aryl-6-cyano-1,5-dihydro-2H-pyrano[2,3-d]pyrimidine-2,4(3H)-diones in aqueous media under ultrasonic irradiation without catalyst is described. This method provides several advantages such as being environmentally friendly, simple work-up procedure and milder condition. In addition, water was chosen as a green solvent.

<p>A two-step synthesis of molnupiravir (<b>1</b>) is presented. This work focuses on the development of practical reaction and purification conditions toward a manufacturing route. The sequence commences from highly available cytidine (<b>2</b>), and molnupiravir is formed through direct hydroxamination of the cytosine ring and esterification of the sugar’s primary alcohol without use of protecting or activating groups. A highly crystalline hydrate of <i>N</i>-hydroxycytidine (<b>3</b>) resulted in an easily purified intermediate, and a practical, off-the-shelf enzyme was selected for the acylation. The yield was increased through a chemically-promoted, selective ester cleavage which converted a by-product, molnupiravir isobutyryl oxime ester (<b>4</b>), into the final API. Both reactions proceed in >90% assay yield and crystallization procedures are used to afford intermediate and active pharmaceutical ingredient in purities above 99% with an overall yield of 60%. Excellent throughput and sustainability is achieved by limiting the total concentration to 7 volumes of solvent in the course of the two reactions with an overall PMI of 41 including work-up and isolation. Environmentally friendly solvents, water and 2-methyl tetrahydrofuran, enhance sustainability of the operation. </p>

Aim and Objective: Itopride is a prokinetic agent used for treating conditions like non-ulcer dyspepsia. Itopride is administered as its hydrochloride salt. Trimethobenzamide is used for treating nausea and vomiting and administered as its hydrochloride salt. The aim is to develop a novel and environmental friendly method for large-scale production of itopride and trimethobenzamide. Materials and Methods: Itopride and trimethobenzamide can be prepared from a common intermediate 4- (dimethylaminoethoxy) benzyl amine. The intermediate is prepared from one pot synthesis using Phyrdroxybenzaldehye and zinc dust and further reaction of the intermediate with substituted methoxy benzoic acid along with boric acid and PEG gives itopride and trimethobenzamide. Results: The intermediate 4-(dimethylaminoethoxy) benzylamine is prepared by treating p-hydroxybenzaldehyde and 2-dimethylaminoethyl chloride. The aldehyde formed is treated with hydroxylamine hydrochloride. The intermediate is confirmed by NMR and the purity is analysed by HPLC. Conclusion: Both itopride and trimethobenzamide were successfully synthesized by this method. The developed method is environmental friendly, economical for large-scale production with good yield and purity.

A simple and highly efficient protocol for the synthesis of derivatives 7, 7-dimethyl-4-phenyl-2-thioxo-2, 3, 4, 6, 7, 8-hexahydro-1H-quinazoline-5-one from 5, 5-dimethyl cyclohexane-1, 3-dione (4a–4h) (dimedone) has been described. The aryl aldehydes were substituted with thiourea in the presence of synthesized zinc ferrite nanocatalyst, which increased the yield under reflux through condensation, followed by cyclization to give desired products. The other advantages are that it is eco-friendly and economically affordable for large-scale production. Structural validation and characterization of all the newly synthesized compounds were evaluated by spectral analysis (mass spectrometry, proton nuclear magnetic resonance (1HNMR), and Carbon-13 nuclear magnetic resonance(13CNMR)spectroscopies. The structure of antibacterial and antifungal assays was performed with the newly synthesized compounds. The antimicrobial activity of title compounds possessing electron-withdrawing groups such as (4e–4h) (Cl, Br, and cyano group) exhibited more active potential than the electron-donating groups, C6H5,4-C6H4, 3-OC2H5-4OH-C6H3, etc., (4a–4d) containing moiety.
