A practical synthesis of enantiomerically pure (R)-desmethylsibutramine [(R)-DMS] and (S)-desmethylsibutramine [(S)-DMS] is outlined along with an improved synthesis of racemic desmethylsibutramine. This route was used for kilo-scale production of enantio

In the synthesis and process development of sibutramine (9), the isolation and characterization of two potential by-products namely heptane dinitriles (4a-b) and bis-cyclobutyl alkylamine (10) have been studied. The key steps in the synthesis of sibutramine which have contributed to the formation of above by-products are cycloalkylation of 4-chlorophenyl acetonitrile (1) and tandem Grignard reduction on 1-(4-chlorophenyl)cyclobutyl carbonitrile (3).
