The present invention provides an improved process for preparation of the L-threo-(2S,3R)-3-(3 4-dihydroxyphenyl)serine (I) or a salt thereof, which is known as Droxidopa; comprising (a) recovery of the by-product compound (V) (as described herein) from the crude compound (I), and (b) recycling and re-use it for the preparation of droxidopa. Accordingly, the present invention relates to an improved economical process for the preparation of L-threo-(2S,3R)-3-(3.4-dihydroxyphenyl)serine (I) or its pharmaceutically acceptable salts; wherein the process relates to recovery and recycling of the by-product compound (V) and also to re-use it for the preparation of droxidopa.
                            本发明提供了一种制备 L-
硫代-(2S,3R)-3-(3.4-二羟基苯基)
丝氨酸(I)或其盐(称为
屈昔多巴)的改进工艺,包括(a)从粗化合物(I)中回收副产物化合物(V)(如本文所述),以及(b)回收并再次用于制备
屈昔多巴。因此,本发明涉及一种制备 L-苏-(2S,3R)-3-(3.4-二羟基苯基)
丝氨酸(I)或其药学上可接受的盐的改进的经济工艺;其中该工艺涉及副产物化合物(V)的回收和循环利用,还涉及将其重新用于制备
屈昔多巴。
