Popis: An efficient synthesis of an adrenoceptor antagonist has been developed and demonstrated in a pilot plant. A linear synthesis that relied on a catalytic reduction of a rather insoluble nitroaromatic proved to be a viable route. The active pharmaceutical ingredient (API) that contained an amidine functional group was generated from the amino-containing precursor by activation of dimethylacetamide (DMA) with phosphorus oxychloride (POCl3). The reaction between DMA and POCl3 was studied using ReactIR and was found to be a fast but not instantaneous reaction. The iminium salt generated from DMA and POCl3 had acceptable stability to allow for its use on a pilot-plant scale; however, a trend towards decomposition was revealed on the basis of in situ FTIR data. Formation of the complex was evaluated in a reaction calorimeter (RC-1), and the stability of the complex was probed with an Advanced Reactive System Screening Tool (ARSST).
