The invention relates to a process for the preparation of one or more intermediate chemical compounds useful in the preparation of non-ionic contrast agents wherein the process is carried out continuously using one or more flow procedures.

The disclosures herein provide compounds of formula I, formula II, formula III, formula IV, formula V and formula VI or its pharmaceutical acceptable salts, as well as polymorphs, enantiomers, stereoisomers, solvates, and hydrates thereof. These salts may be formulated as pharmaceutical compositions. The pharmaceutical compositions may be formulated for oral, buccal, rectal, topical, transdermal, transmucosal, lozenge, spray, intravenous, oral solution, buccal mucosal layer tablet, parenteral administration, syrup, or injection. Such compositions may be used to treatment of gastrointestinal polyps or its associated complications.

An alternative and improved process for the preparation of Apremilast (Formula I) and Apremilast form B or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof is provided. The novel process includes hydrogenation in acetone, Cyclization and acetylation followed by condensation in methyl isobutyl ketone (MIBK) and acetic acid mixture in specific volume ratios.
