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 g of trichloroacetic acid and 5 ml of toluene is heated to 110° C. The mixture is maintained and stirred at this temperature for 3 hours. After completion of the reaction, the mixture is cooled and poured onto crushed ice. The resulting crystals are aspirated and washed with water and ethyl acetate. After drying, 0.6 g of raw deferasirox is obtained, i.e. 55% of the theory, with an HPLC content of 99.56% and a melting temperature of 258 to 262° C.
