- the trans-4-isopropylcyclohexanecarboxylic acid may be prepared according to the methods known in the art, such as example 31 of US Pat. 4,816,484 (Re 34,878), where a process for the preparation of t-4- isopropylcyclohexanecarboxylic acid by the hydrogenation of cumic acid is disclosed.

- Nateglinide may then be recovered from the organic phase by conventional techniques.
- the organic phase is concentrated, preferably by evaporation under reduced pressure, to obtain nateglinide.
- the present invention provides a process for preparing nateglinide by using only an aqueous solvent and adding isopropylcyclohexane acid chloride as a neat reagent, i.e., acylation may be carried in an aqueous solvent system in the absence of a water immiscible organic solvent.
- the neat reagent may contain negligible amounts of N,N-dimethyl formamide ("DMF"), from about 0.05% to about 8%, preferably less than about 5%, more preferably about 1%, weight of DMF compared to the weight of the neat reagent.

- water free of or without co-solvent may include a small amount of other solvents, but preferably less than about 5% v/v, and most preferably less than about 1% v/v of other solvents.
- a tri-alkyl amine salt of D-phenylalanine is reacted with trans-4-isopropylcyclohexane acid chloride in a cyclic or a non-cyclic Ci to a C 6 amide as a solvent.
- amides include dimethyl formamide, dimethyl acetamide (“DMA”) and N-methyl pyrolidone.
- tri-alkyl salts of D- phenylalanine are reacted with trans-4-isopropylcyclohexane acid chloride in DMF.

- D-phenylalanine (7.74 g) was dissolved in a solution of sodium hydroxide (2.1 g) in water (25 ml). The clear aqueous solution was covered with ethyl acetate (50 ml) and cooled to 10°C. A solution of trans-4-isopropylcyclohexane acid chloride (10.39 g) in ethyl acetate (15ml) and 10% sodium hydroxide solution were simultaneously added to the two phase mixture, maintaining the temperature around 10°C and pH >8. The reaction mixture was allowed to warm to room temperature and stirred for 2 h. Water (30 ml) was added and the phases were separated. The aqueous phase was extracted with ethyl acetate (25 ml).
- D-Phenylalanine (30.92 g) was treated with 10% KOH (360 ml, 3.5 equivalents), at room temperature to afford a clear solution of the corresponding K-salt.
- the solution was cooled to 10°C.
- Neat trans-4-isopropylcyclohexane acid chloride (IPCHAC, 35.92 g, 1.01 equivalents) was added to the solution, over 3 min, while stirring at 10-12°C. A partial precipitation occurred in 2-3 minutes.
- the mixture was stirred for lh and was treated with 10% HC1 (53 ml) to adjust pH to 1, under stirring, resulting in complete precipitation.
- the mixture was allowed to warm to room temperature and stirred for 1 h and filtered.
- the solid was washed with water (200 ml) and sucked well to afford 145 g of the moist product, which lost in weight after drying at 78°C/2.2 mbar. Assay 88%, purity >99%.
- the yield was 76%.
- the aqueous phase was treated with 10% HC1 (75 ml) to adjust pH to 1, under stirring.
- the wet product was re-crystallized from a mixture of ethyl acetate and heptane (1.3:1, total 1110 ml) and dried for 2 h at 100°C to afford the desired product, nateglinide, as a white solid with purity >99.7%. Yield 63%.
