摘要

A Continuous Flow Photochemistry (CFP) - based protocol has been developed for the synthesis of a complex isomeric API impurity, Sulindac E-Isomer (2), which is a USP reference standard. The reported flow photochemical E/Z isomerization reaction is more efficient than metal catalyzed multistep batch process (residence time of 3 min in flow vs overall reaction time of 20 h in batch process; 44% product formation in photocatalytic flow process vs 13.82% in batch isomerization step) and proceeds with a clean reaction profile without any byproduct formation. The improved product formation is attributed to the triplet energy transfer from the photocatalyst and supported by density functional theory (DFT) calculations. The robustness of this approach was demonstrated on a multigram scale providing the potential for future application in the synthesis of isomeric API impurities and enabling USP reference standard development and availability towards ensuring quality and safety of medicines.
