The present invention relates to a process for providing the compound of formula I, comprising the step of reacting a compound of formula VII with a base in the presence of an alkaline- or alkaline earth metal salt (MX), wherein LG is a leaving group. The presence of an alkaline- or alkaline earth metal salt was surprisingly found to render said reaction highly reliable in terms of the yield and purity of the compound of formula I obtained. In a further aspect, the present invention relates to the compound of formula I, having less than an amount of 1.50% or less than an amount of 1.25% or less than an amount of 1.00% or less than an amount of 0.75% or less than an amount of 0.50% or less than an amount of 0.25% or less than an amount of 0.10% of the compound of formula VIII.

Aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to compounds for targeting and healing bone fractures. Some of these compounds include a negatively charged oligopeptide comprising an acidic oligopeptide, a linker, which may be hydrolyzable or may be a substrate for the protease cathepsin K, and at least one molecule that promotes bone healing. In some compounds the molecule that promotes bone healing is an anabolic compound that inhibits GSK3β, in some compounds the molecule that promotes the healing of bone fracture is a pro-inflammatory agent such as PGE1. Other embodiments include methods of treating a bone fracture comprising administering a therapeutic amount of any one of the compounds disclosed herein.

Disclosed is a novel process for the synthesis of tofacitinib citrate on an industrial scale with high yields and purity starting with cis-(1-benzyl-4-methyl-piperidin-3-yl)methylamine bis-hydrochloride racemate (intermediate VIII), which comprises: 1. Condensation between intermediates VII and VIII to give intermediate VI 2. Hydrogenation of intermediate VI to give intermediate V 3. Resolution of intermediate V to give intermediate IV with enantiomeric purity >99% 4. Release of intermediate IV in a basic medium to give intermediate III 5. N-acylation reaction of intermediate III to give II (tofacitinib) 6. Salification of intermediate II to give tofacitinib monocitrate (I) ##STR00001## ##STR00002##
