Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2015007897A1] The present invention provides a very simple, efficient and economic technology for racemisation of amines, alcohols or thioalcohols where the chiral carbon (benzylic position) is located at the β-position of the heteroatom (amino, hydroxyl or mercapto group) or even more distant therefrom. Special focus is oriented in efficient and simple racemisation of an undesired enantiomer of a chiral pharmaceutically active ingredient, preferably lorcaserin or a salt thereof, preferably the hydrochloride salt thereof. The approach according to the invention enables a use of cheaper and shorter racemic synthetic schemes not requiring expensive and toxic reagents and catalysts. Present methodology enables industrialy convenient process.
