Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

Sitagliptin (5 g) and isopropanol (75 mL) are charged into a round-bottom flask and the mixture is heated to about 80° C. for about 15 minutes to obtain a clear dissolution. Sulfuric acid (1.2 g) is added and the reaction mixture is refluxed for about 1 hour. The reaction mixture is cooled to about 30° C. and stirred for about 22 hours. The separated solid is filtered, washed with isopropanol (5 mL), and dried under reduced pressure at about 40° C. for about 1.5 hours to afford the title compound. (Yield: 6.0 g; MC: 0.84% w/w; HPLC purity: 99.98%)
