Paragraph 0031-0033; 0036-0038, (2019/01/14)
The invention relates to the technical field of pharmaceutical preparation, in particular to a preparation method of an antiepileptic drug. The synthesis process of levetiracetam designed by the invention takes (S)-2-(4-chlorobutyramide) butyric acid as an initial raw material, pyridine as an alkali and (Boc)2O as an activating reagent of carboxylic acid, an ammonium salt is added to prepare (S)-2-(4-chlorobutyramide) butyramide, and finally a cyclization reaction is carried out in the presence of alkali to obtain levetiracetam. The process does not need chemical resolution, does not use highly toxic or corrosive chemical reagents, is simple to operate, mild in conditions, environment-friendly and high in finished product quality, and is suitable for industrial production.

(S)-alpha-ethyl-2-oxo-1-pyrrolidineacetamide, its preparation and pharmaceutical compositions containing the same. It can be prepared either by reacting (S)-alpha-ethyl-2-oxo-1-pyrrolidineacetic acid successively with an alkyl haloformate and with ammonia, or, by cyclizing an (S)-2-aminobutanamide of the formula X--CH2 CH2 --Y--NHCH(C2 H5)CONH2 wherein Y is a --CH2 -- radical when X represents a ZOOC-- radical and Y is a --CO-- radical when X represents a HalCH2 -- radical, Z being a C1 -C4 alkyl radical and Hal a halogen atom. This laevorotatory enantiomer has been found to have significantly higher protective activity against hypoxia and ischemia than the corresponding racemate.
