Popis: | A practical procedure for the efficient resolution of cis-tramadol [cis-2-(dimethylaminomethyl)-1-(3-methoxyphenyl)cyclohexanol] has been developed. This process was based on the observation that cis-tramadol free base selectively formed mandelic acid salts at different rates, affording a readily scalable kinetic resolution of each enantiomer. The key to the process was the observation that the resolving salt needed to be broken and re-formed to ultimately improve the optical purity. The mandalate salt of each cis-enantiomer was found to be >99% optically pure after three cycles through the salt formation process. A sample of each mandelate salt enantiomer was successfully converted to the known, optically active hydrochloride salt. |
