Potassium Iodide → Trityl candesartan cilexetil

Participants

Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

Carbohexyl 1-chloroethyl carbonate (36 g) is added to a suspension of trityl candesartan (100 g), potassium carbonate (24 g) and potassium iodide (12 g) in DMSO (500 ml) at temperature of 60-65° C. over 30 min. Reaction mass is maintained at 60-65° C. for 2 hrs, added toluene (300 ml) and water (300 ml). Reaction mass is mixed for 15 min., allowed to settle, the layers are separated at 60-65° C. and aqueous layer is extracted with toluene (200 ml). Water (200 ml) washings are given to the combined organic layer and toluene extractions twice at temperature of 60-65° C. Toluene is distilled off from water washed organic layer at temperature below 60° C. under vacuum, ethanol (100 ml) is added, mixed for about 30 min and distilled off solvents under vacuum at temperature below 60° C. under vacuum. Residue is cooled to 30-35° C., ethanol (300 ml) is added, mixed for 2 hrs at 25-30° C. and filtered the product. Wet cake is washed with ethanol (100 ml) and suck dried. Wet weight of Cilexetil trityl candesartan is 180 g
