Patent ID: 11634511

Abstract:
The present invention provides processes for the preparation of sugammadex: (I) In one aspect, there is provided a process for the preparation of sugammadex from 8-per-deoxy-8-bromo-γ-cyclodextrin and 3-mercaptopropionic acid. In another aspect, there is provided an alternative process for the preparation of sugammadex from 8-per-deoxy-8-bromo-γ-cyclodextrin and disodium 3 -mercaptopropionate. In another aspect, there is provided a process for the preparation of 8-per-deoxy-8-bromo-γ-cyclod extrin, which may be used in the production of sugammadex. In one such aspect, there is provided a process for the preparation of 8-per-deoxy-8-bromo-y-cyclodextrin from γ-cyclodextrin and a brominating agent. In another such aspect, there is provided a process for the preparation of 8-per-deoxy-8-bromo-γ-cyclodextrin comprising, inter alia, reacting γ-cyclodextrin with an electrophilic brominating agent, a deoxygenating agent, and an acid in the presence of an organic solvent.
