Graphical Abstract

Abstract

A new, practical, and improved synthetic route to cariprazine is described. The key step is the facile preparation of 2-[4-(3,3-dimethylureido)cyclohexyl]acetic acid in the trans configuration through direct recrystallization. The entire synthetic procedure was accomplished under mild conditions while avoiding tedious purification processes. The trans configuration of cariprazine was confirmed by X-ray crystallographic analysis.
