Potassium Hydroxide → Potassium 4-[{[(4-fluorophenyl)methyl]imino}(hydroxy)methyl]-1-methyl-2-{2-[(5-methyl-1,3,4-oxadiazole-2-carbonyl)amino]propan-2-yl}-6-oxo-1,6-dihydropyrimidin-5-olate

Participants

Reaction Steps

A vial (20 ml) was charged with Raltegravir free hydroxy (500 mg) completely dissolved in N-methyl-pyrrolidone (NMP) (1.5 ml) at room temperature. A solution of 30% aqueous KOH (0.162 ml) was added. The mixture was stirred for 21 h at room temperature. Additional NMP (7.5 ml) was added and the mixture was stirred for an additional 6.5 h at room temperature. A solid precipitated and was filtered under reduced pressure to provide wet Raltegravir potassium crystalline Form IV. The wet product was dried overnight in a vacuum oven at 40° C. to provide Raltegravir potassium crystalline Form IV.
