Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

Lapatinib ditosylate (3 g, 3.25 mmol, 99.3% HPLC purity was dissolved in DMF (18 mL) at 80° C. and stirred for 1 hour. The mixture was hot-filtered. MeCN (18 mL) was added into the filtrate at 80° C. The temperature was cooled to 70° C. and crystal precipitated. The mixture was kept at 70° C. for 1 h and then 60° C. for 1 h. The mixture was further cooled to 0° C. and stirred for 2 h. The crystals of lapatinib ditosylate were isolated by filtration and were dried at 40° C. under vacuum overnight. Lapatinib ditosylate (2.5 g, 2.70 mmol, 83% yield) with 99.9% HPLC purity was obtained. XRPD analysis indicated that this was Form 2 as disclosed in WO 2009/079541 A1.
