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 N,N-dimethylformamide and 5 ml of propionic acid is heated up to 150° C. The mixture is maintained at this temperature and stirred for 1.5 hours. After completion of the reaction, the mixture is cooled and poured onto crushed ice. The resulting crystals are aspirated and washed with water. After drying, 0.88 g of raw deferasirox is obtained, i.e. 81% of the theory, with an HPLC purity of 93% and a melting temperature of 255 to 262° C.
