S (E) - CSA salt, S-ketamine (R) - CSA salt, and S-ketamine preparation process

摘要

The present invention is directed to processes for the preparation of esketamine. The present invention is further directed to processes for the resolution of S-ketamine from a racemic or enantiomerically enriched mixture of ketamine. The present invention is further directed to an (S)-CSA salt of S-ketamine, more particularly a monohydrate form of the (S)-CSA salt of S-ketamine; and to an (R)-CSA salt of R-ketamine.
