    Abstract: Processes are disclosed for making pomalidomide which involve reducing 2-(2,6-dioxopiperidin-3-yl)-4-nitroisoindoline-1,3-dione using a catalyst and at least one solvent. The process may include reacting 3-nitrophthalic anhydride with α-amino glutarimide hydrochloride to obtain the 2-(2,6-dioxopiperidin-3-yl)-4-nitroisoindoline-1,3-dione. The process may further include, prior to the reducing step, subjecting the 2-(2,6-dioxopiperidin-3-yl)-4-nitroisoindoline-1,3-dione to a purification process comprising heating a mixture of 2-(2,6-dioxopiperidin-3-yl)-4-nitroisoindoline-1,3-dione and 1,4-dioxane to obtain a solution, treating the obtained solution with carbon, removing the carbon from the solution to obtain a purified 2-(2,6-dioxopiperidin-3-yl)-4-nitroisoindoline-1,3-dione solution and using the purified 2-(2,6-dioxopiperidin-3-yl)-4-nitroisoindoline-1,3-dione solution for the reducing step. Processes disclosed achieve pomalidomide having a purity of greater than 99% as measured by HPLC with no individual impurity present in an amount greater than 0.1% and total impurities comprising not more than 0.5%.
