Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

To a solution of esomeprazole potassium salt (100 g, 0.261 mole) in methanol (500 ml) kept in a round bottom flask, was added magnesium sulphate heptahydrate (64.1 g, 0.26 mole) at 25-30° C. and stirred for 1.5-2 hrs. The insoluble material formed was filtered off and the filtrate was passed through a 0.45 micron membrane filter. To the filtrate, water (1300 ml) was added and stirred at 25-30° C. for 1-1.5 hrs, cooled to 0-5° C., and stirred for a further period of 1-1.5 hrs. The solid formed was collected by filtration and washed with water and dried under reduced pressure at 40-45° C. to obtain the esomeprazole magnesium salt.
