Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 6.63 g (25 mmol) N-(2-(diethylamino)ethyl)-5-formyl-2,4-dimethyl-1H-pyrrole-3-carboxamide (I) and 3.78 g (25 mmol) 5-fluoroindolin-2-one (II) in ethanol (400 ml), 0.25 ml of pyrrolidine was added and mixture was refluxed for 5 h. To a boiling reaction mixture, a solution of L-tartaric acid (1.88 g, 12.5 mmol) in ethanol (20 ml) was added and a solution was left to cool to room temperature, with slow (as slow as possible) stirring. The stirring was continued for another 16 hours, then the product was filtered to get 4.20 g of sunitinib L-tartarate. Melting point: 219-223° C. (Form III), ratio sunitinib/tartaric acid (according to NMR) 2:1.
