<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>

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.

Silica-supported magnesium hydrogen sulfate has been used as a recyclable catalyst for the synthesis of some linear and cyclic aromatic acetals under solvent-free conditions. This environmentally friendly method has advantages, such as high yield of products, simple work-up procedure, and avoidance of the organic solvents, which will contribute in serving as a green process greatly.

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.

According to the thermodynamical prognosis developed by us the investigation of the interaction of Bacillus-Clostridium community and six representative metals was performed. To representative metals we refer: oxidisers (CrO42-), substitutes (Ni2+, Co2+) and combined action metals that combine the characteristics of both oxidizers and substitutes (Cu2+, Hg2+, Fe3+). The natural soil hydrogen-producing microbial communities appeared to be resistant to the metals in their high total concentration of 120 mg/l and also able to extract these metals from the solution (up to 96%). The obtained regularities are the base for the development of new combined biotechnologies, allowing to neutralize ecologically hazardous food wastes, treat metal contaminated sewages and simultaneously obtain environmentally friendly energy source – hydrogen.

Pyrazines are organic compounds with a varied, intense aroma of roasted nuts, occasionally with hints of baked potatoes, almonds, and others. As a result, they are used in the food industry as food flavorings. Biosynthesis of pyrazines using microorganisms in environmentally friendly conditions is an alternative to chemical synthesis. However, screening is required to isolate efficient producer strains for efficient biosynthesis of this compound. The study’s goal was to assess the ability of Bacillus subtilis cultures isolated from natto (fermented soybeans) to biosynthesize a broad range of alkylpyrazines. B. subtilis isolated cultures were found to be capable of producing 2-methylpyrazine, 2,3-dimethylpyrazine, 2,5-dimethylpyrazine, 2,6-dimethylpyrazine, 2,3,5-trimethylpyrazine, and 2,3,5,6-tetramethylpyrazine. As a result of the screening, two cultures of B. subtilis capable of producing alkylpyrazines were isolated. At a total concentration of 3261 µg/L, the BcP4 strain primarily produced 2-methylpyrazine (690 µg/L), 2,3-dimethylpyrazine (680 µg/L), and 2,6-dimethylpyrazine (1891 µg/L). At a total concentration of 558 mg/L, the BcP21 strain produced 2,5-dimethylpyrazine (4.5 mg/L), 2,3,5-trimethylpyrazine (52.6 mg/L), and 2,3,5,6-tetramethylpyrazine (501.1 mg/L). The results show that different B. subtilis strains are predisposed to produce different alkylpyrazines.

Ionogenic contrast preparations, Triombrast, Urographin and Trasograph containing the active pharmaceutical ingredient (APhI), sodium amidotrizoate, have a positive experience in medical diagnosis. Qualitative control of intermediate products of each stage of AFI to prevent the possibility of technological toxic impurities – a mixture of 3,5-dinitro- and 3,5-diaminobenzoic acids (3,5-dNBK and 3,5-dABK) in the composition of the target product for safety X-ray contrast drugs in their application is a pressing issue today. The aim of the work – to develop a method for determining the technological impurities of 3,5-dNBK and 3,5-dABK acids in the synthesis of amidotrizoate sodium using UV spectrophotometry, which will allow to determine these impurities without their preliminary separation both in the inter-operative process control and in the finished product. The objects of study are aqueous solutions of 3,5-dNBK and 3,5-dABK acids, as well as their binary mixtures. The absorption spectra of the analytes were recorded using a Specord UV VIS spectrophotometer in the ultraviolet region. Calculations of the concentrations of the investigated acids in the composition of their binary compositions were performed according to the Vierordt's method. It is found that the absorption maxima of aqueous solutions of 3,5-dNBK and 3,5-dABK are at wavelengths of 240 nm and 218 nm; in the experimental conditions, the molar absorption coefficient for 3,5-dinitrobenzoic acid was the same (e1240 = e1218) and was equal to 17 940 ± 150. For solutions of 3,5-diaminobenzoic acid, the molar absorption coefficients were different: for a wavelength of 218 nm, the molar e2218 = 28 890 ± 220 and at a wavelength of 240 nm e2240 = 10 770 ± 80. Based on the Firordt method, taking into account the molar absorption coefficients of the investigated acids, we determined mathematical formulas for the quantitative analysis of the composition of mixtures at different ratios of analytes within their total concentration 1–6·10-5 M.            Spectrophotometric Vierordt's method of quantitative analysis of 3,5-dinitro- and 3,5-diaminobenzoic acids, as well as their binary mixtures in aqueous solutions can be applied in the industrial production of iodine-containing contrast agents, where in the first stages of synthesis, the corresponding nitrobenzoic acid is reduced.          Strict control of the possible amount of impurities in the first stage of synthesis of sodium amidotrizoate – the main active ingredient of ionic iodine-containing X-ray contrast drugs (Triombrast, Urografin, Trasograph) – will improve the quality of the final product and will allow to reduce the final product.
