Participants

Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

A suspension of 0.7 g (2.92 mmol) of 2-(2-hydroxyphenyl)benz[e][1,3]oxazin-4-one and 0.52 g (3.44 mmol) of 4-hydrazinobenzoic acid in 5 ml of lactic acid is heated to its boiling point and maintained at this temperature (115° C.) for 2 hours. After completion of the reaction the mixture is cooled down, causing separation of the crystalline product. 5 ml of ethyl acetate are added. After drying, 0.53 g of raw deferasirox is obtained, i.e. 49% of the theory, with an HPLC content of 94% and a melting temperature of 248 to 260° C.
