Preparative Method of R-(-)-Ibuprofen by Diastereomer Crystallization

  • Published : 2006.01.01

Abstract

The economic and effective method for preparation of R-(-)-ibuprofen by diastereomer crystallization was developed. R-(-)-ibuprofen was resolved from racemic ibuprofen by forming R-(-)ibuprofen-R-(+)-$\alpha$-methylbenzylamine diastereomeric salt with R-(+)-$\alpha$-methylbenzylamine and crystallization. The purity of R-(-)-ibuprofen-R-(+)-$\alpha$-methylbenzylamine diastereomeric salt was tested and confirmed using HPLC and $^1H-NMR$ method. The pure diastereomeric salt collected from repeated recrystallization was further fractionated by liquid-liquid extraction to the pure enantiomer without racemization. R-(-)-ibuprofen was recovered producing overall yield of 2.4% with the purity more than 99.97%.
