Procedure

The dibenzylamine salt of atorvastatin was synthesized by preparing a stock solution of the free acid of atorvastatin (U.S. Pat. No. 5,273,995) in acetonitrile (1 g in 40 mL of ACN). A solution of dibenzylamine was prepared by dissolving 351.05 mg (1.0 equivalents) in acetonitrile (100 mL). The stock solution of atorvastatin free acid was added to the counterion solution with stirring. Over time, additional acetonitrile was added to prevent formation of a gel (100 mL), and the solid was allowed to stir. After 4 days of stirring at ambient temperature, the solids were isolated by vacuum filtration using a Buchner funnel fitted with a paper filter (#2 Whatman). The solids were rinsed with acetonitrile (75 mL), and placed in a 25° C. oven under nitrogen to dry overnight to afford atorvastatin dibenzylamine.
