Epimerization of a cis-predominant isomeric mixture to trans predominant isomeric mixture under mild conditions followed by exploiting the difference in solubility to obtain trans isomer in very high purity is the key feature of the synthesis. In addition to this, use of readily available and cost efficient raw materials/reagents, recycling of cis isomer, explicit design of downstream processing enabling the retention of the trans-stereochemistry until final API are some of the highlights of this synthesis.
