Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

To 60 ml of purified water, 10.0 g of 2-(3-pyridyl)-1-hydroxyethane-1,1-bisphosphonic acid (risedronic acid) and 1.41 g of sodium hydroxide were added and dissolved at an elevated temperature of 65° C. After the dissolution, the resulting solution was cooled to 25° C. over 3 hours for crystallization. The obtained crystals were filtered and vacuum dried to obtain 8.0 g of risedronate sodium hemipentahydrate (64.7% of theoretical yield). (LOD by TGA=13.2%)
