The present invention relates in general to the field of organic chemistry and in particular to the preparation of N-(4-(4-fluorophenyl)-6-isopropyl-5-methylpyrimidin-2-yl)-N-methylmethanesulfonamide (I), N-(4-(4-fluorophenyl)-5-(bromomethyl)-6-isopropylpyrimidin-2-yl)-N-methylmethanesulfonamide (II) and N-(4-(4-fluorophenyl)-5-(hydroxymethyl)-6-isopropylpyrimidin-2-yl)-N-methylmethanesulfonamide (III), key intermediates in preparation of Rosuvastatin.

We report the synthesis of 5-formyl-, 5-(hydroxymethyl)-, and 5-(bromomethyl) substituted N-[4-(4-fluorophenyl)-6-isopropylpyrimidin-2-yl]-N- methylmethanesulfonamide. The presented synthetic approach is based on highly efficient three step preparation of functionalized 5-methylpyrimidine. The methyl group is selectively brominated by NBS with irradiation into the bromomethyl derivative, which is then transformed into the hydroxymethyl or formyl groups in nearly quantitative yields. This approach is superior to the existing methodologies for the preparation of the key pyrimidine precursors used in the synthesis of rosuvastatin since no metal catalysis and no cryogenic reaction conditions are involved.
Lactone pathway to statins utilizing the wittig reaction. the synthesis of rosuvastatin

scheme or table, p. 6681 - 6684 (2010/12/19)
The first entry to statins via lactonized side chain is reported, exemplified by the synthesis of rosuvastatin. The key step is Wittig coupling of (2S,4R)-4-(tert-butyldimethylsilyloxy)-6-oxotetrahydro-2H-pyran-2-carbaldehyde and phosphonium salt of an appropriately functionalized pyrimidine heterocy'le. One-pot deprotection and hydrolysis of the resulting 4-O-TBS rosuvastatin lactone provided rosuvastatin in high yield.
