AN IMPROVED AND COMMERCIALLY VIABLE PROCESS FOR PREPARATION OF PYRROLE DERIVATIVES WITH IMPROVED IMPURITY PROFILE & MINIMISATION OF UNIT OPERATIONS.

The present invention relates to improved process for the preparation of a pyrrole derivative as a racemic mixture, an enantiomer, a diastereoisomer, a mixture thereof, a tautomer thereof or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt and hydrates thereof and also intermediates involved therein. Particularly invention is directed to improved processes for the preparation of pyrrole derivatives such as (4R,cis)-6-[2-[3-phenyl-4-(phenyl-carbamoyl)-2-(4-fluorophenyl)-5-(1-methyl-ethyl)-pyrrole-1-yl]-2,2-dimethyl-[1,3]dioxane-4-yl-acetic acid-tertiary butyl ester of formula IV followed by its conversion into [R-(R*, R*]-2-(4-fluorophenyl)- β,δ-dihydroxy-5-(1-methylethyl)-3-phenyl-4-[(phenylamino)carbonyl]-1H-pyrrole-1- heptanoic acid particularly calcium salt and its hydrate represented by Formulae I/IA respectively wherein formation of the impurities is either eliminated or minimized in the corresponding intermediaries.

Novel method for preparing atorvastatin key intermediate L1 through solvent-free method

The invention discloses a novel method for preparing an atorvastatin key intermediate L1 through a solvent-free method and belongs to the technical field of drug chemical synthesis. The novel method comprises the following steps that M4 and A9 are taken as raw materials, under the effects of a phase transfer catalyst and an acid catalyst, constant-temperature stirring melting reaction is directlyconducted for 5-7 hours under the solvent-free condition, the reaction temperature is 80-140 DEG C, water distribution is conducted in the reaction process, after reaction is completed, cooling is conducted, then recrystallization is conducted, and thus the atorvastatin key intermediate L1 is obtained. According to the novel method, the phase transfer catalyst and the acid catalyst are adopted, aparent nucleus M4 and a chiral side chain A9 are subjected to stirring melting reaction under the solvent-free condition, after reaction, recrystallization is conducted directly through ethyl alcohol/water, and thus L1 is obtained; and as for the process, the reaction time can be shortened to be 5 h, the conversion rate can reach up to 90%, operation and aftertreatment are easy, no mixed solvent is recovered, pollution is reduced remarkably, and the method is suitable for amplification production.
