Abstract
Research work presented here describes an approach to achieve the enantiopure escitalopram (1) via didesmethyl escitalopram (4), which is easily resolvable compared to citalopram (1a) through diastereomeric salt crystallization. The resolved intermediate (didesmethylcitalopram) was subsequently used for the preparation of the desired drug. This simple modification of the substrate makes a remarkable difference in the chemical resolution process. The first resolution of didesmethylcitalopram (±)-4 to furnish (+)-4, a novel key intermediate to assemble escitalopram (1) was achieved via diastereomeric salt resolution using (−)-di-p-toluoyltartaric acid (DPTTA). The resolution conditions were optimized; a key feature of this process is the addition of specific quantity of water at a specific temperature to the reaction mixture.
