Reaktionsschritte

An especially preferred method according to this invention comprises reaction of 10-methoxy-5H-dibenz[b,f]azepine with benzoic acid and sodium cyanate in toluene at reflux temperature to give 10-methoxy-5H-dibenz[b,f]azepine carboxamide as a major product (such as about 75%), along with 10-oxo-iminodibenzyl and other impurities. The reaction mixture is thereafter filtered and washed with water, and the toluene layer taken as such for hydrolysis in a biphasic system (aqueous hydrochloric acid/toluene) to furnish oxcarbazepine, which is purified just once (whereas twice at least is needed when the prior art process is carried out) in a mixture of methanol and dichloromethane (Scheme-5).
