CLOMIPHENE SYNTHESIS USING A SINGLE SOLVENT

The present invention provides a one-pot method for synthesizing clomiphene (a mixture of the isomers cis-clomiphene and trans-clomiphene) utilizing a single solvent. In a preferred embodiment, the single solvent is dichloromethane (DCM, also known as methylene chloride). The present invention provides an improved method for synthesizing clomiphene and purifying clomiphene isomers.

PROCESS FOR THE PREPARATION OF CLOMIPHENE

An improved process for the preparation of the active pharmaceutical ingredient Clomiphene and, in particular, trans-Clomiphene, using acetic acid or trifluoroacetic acid is disclosed.
