Isopropanol → Ibandronate Sodium Anhydrous

Participants

Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

A solution of amorphous ibandronic acid (2.7 g) in water (25 ml) and sodium hydroxide (0.34 g, solid) was stirred at 70° C. The solution was poured into cold IPA (500 ml). The resulting precipitate was stirred at 0° C. for 16 hours. The precipitate was isolated by vacuum filtration and dried in a vacuum oven at 50° C. for 24 hours to obtain 2.7 g of ibandronate sodium crystal form K3. Form K3 can exhibit a weight loss of about 7% to about 8% in TGA.
