Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

5 gms of p-tert-butyl-N-[6-chloro-5-(2-methoxy-phenoxy)-[2,2′-bipyrimidin]-4-yl]benzenesulfonamide potassium salt and barium hydroxide (0.75 gms) were charged to a reaction vessel. Ethylene glycol (15 ml) and toluene (75 ml) were added thereto. The reaction mass was heated at a temperature of 110° C. for 2 hours. Further, 0.75 gms of barium hydroxide was added and heating was continued for another 4 hours. After completion of the reaction, the solid was filtered and isolated as barium salt of bosentan. It was further purified by crystallizing with a mixture of methanol and isopropyl acetate.
