Isopropanol → Zoledronate disodium tetrahydrate

Participants

Reaction Steps

A solution of sodium hydroxide (0.7 g) in a mixture of water (X % v/v)/IPA (Y % v/v, 10 volumes per grams of ZLD-Ac form XII) (13-15 ml) was added drop-wise to a suspension of Zoledronic acid (4.98 g) in a mixture of water (X % v/v)/IPA (Y % v/v, 10 volumes per grams of ZLD-Ac form XII) (70-85 ml) at reflux temperature. The reaction mixture was heated at reflux temperature for additional 16 hours. Then the reaction mixture was cooled to room temperature. Further cooling was performed using an ice-bath. The precipitate was then filtered, washed and dried in a vacuum oven at 50° C. for 24 hours to give Zoledronate disodium crystal form V.
