TECHNOLOGY FOCUS - ORGANIC CHEMISTRY - Preferred Process: The step (i) is maintained at a temperature of less than or equal to 25 degrees C or less than or equal to 15 degrees C when the oxidizing agent is added to the reaction mixture. The mixture is cooled to a temperature of -8 degrees C to 10 degrees C, preferably -5 degrees C to 4 degrees C. The process further comprises recrystallizing the resulting complex. Preferred Components: The solvent is water. The oxidizing agent is hydrogen peroxide (preferred) or a water soluble and/or miscible organic per-acid. The catalyst is cyclodextrin, preferably alpha -cyclodextrin and organic or inorganic acids, such as ascorbic acid, formic acid, acetic acid, and/or sulfuric acid. The catalyst is present at 0.0001-1 molar equivalents (relative to the compound (A)). The cyclodextrin is one or more of W6 (alpha) cyclodextrin (a six sugar ring molecule), W7 (beta) cyclodextrin (a seven sugar ring molecule), W8 (gamma) cyclodextrin (an eight sugar ring molecule), and/or their derivatives. The molar ratio of sulforaphane to cyclodextrin in the resultant complex is 0.4:1-1:1. ACTIVITY - Cytostatic; Antimicrobial.    MECHANISM OF ACTION - None given.    ADMINISTRATION - Administration of the complex is oral, enteral, by injection, buccal, or topical. No dosage details given.    EXAMPLE - 3015 g of alpha -Cyclodextrin was dissolved in 8 l of distilled water by heating up to 55 degrees C under nitrogen atmosphere. The homogeneous solution was cooled down to -25 degrees C using an ice-water bath and then degassed for -20 minutes by purging nitrogen. After degassing, it turned into a foggy solution. Aqueous solution of sulforaphane was removed from the refrigerator and then alpha -cyclodextrin solution was added at once to the above foggy. At that stage reaction temperature was 18 degrees C, and continuously stirred at room temperature for 16 hours. The heterogeneous reaction mixture was cooled down to 1-2 degrees C using ice-methanol bath and stirred for 3 hours at that temperature. The precipitated white solid was filtered and dried overnight under high vacuum at room temperature by covering the filter funnel with a latex sheet. The white filter cake was transferred into a 10-L rotovap flask and dried further at room temperature under a high vacuum to afford 2802 g of sulforaphane-cyclodextrin complex.
