  • a solution of about 3.5 g of palonosetron hydrochloride diastereoisomeric mixture (60.5% 3aS isomer, 39.6% 3aR isomer) in 90 ml of MeOH was concentrated to 12 mL of residual volume under vacuum. 38 mL of a mixture isopropanol-water 97:3 were added at reflux temperature leading to a solution. The solvent was evaporated at atmospheric pressure to 28 mL residual volume in order to eliminate most of the residual MeOH. To the suspension further 28 mL of mixture isopropanol-water 97:3 were added at reflux temperature to achieve complete dissolution. The solution was cooled in 100 minutes to 50° C., leading to the seeding of the solid. The mixture was concentrated under vacuum at 50° C.
  • step 1 To the suspension, at 60 ⁇ 2° C., the toluenic solution of acyl chloride obtained in step 1 was added dropwise in about 1 hour. After 30 minutes the reaction was considered complete, thus 200 mL of water were added.
  • the organic phase was concentrated under reduced pressure, with internal temperature 55 ⁇ 2° C. until 180 mL of residual volume.
  • the layers were separated and 50 mL of a solution of NaCl 15% w/w in water (prepared dissolving 7.5 g of NaCl pellets in about 42.5 mL of water) were added to the organic phase.
  • the suspension was heated to 50 ⁇ 2° C. and 100 mL of n-heptane were charged at this temperature.
  • the suspension was cooled to 70 ⁇ 2° C. in 120 minutes, then after 30 minutes of stirring at this temperature the solid was filtered off washing the cake with a mixture of 15 mL of IPA and 15 mL of n-heptane pre-cooled to 0 ⁇ 2° C.
  • the suspension was heated to 50° C. and stirred in these conditions for 21 hours (adding H 2 when internal pressure ⁇ 3 bar). The suspension was then cooled to 5 ⁇ 2° C. and 2.56 g of solution of SO 2 5% in water were added to quench the reaction.
  • the wet solid was dried at 70° C. for a 18 hours under vacuum, leading to 2.9 g of Palonosetron HCl.
  • the polymorphic form of the material was measured by X-ray powder diffraction after 1 week storage.
