Chemical process development efforts leading to multikilogram production of BIIB068 hemiadipate are discussed. Process optimization resulted in (1) removal of transition metal from the process, (2) a streamlined process with significantly improved overall yield, and (3) appropriate impurity control (including potential mutagenic impurities), which enabled delivery of quality material for toxicology studies and clinical trials.
