, (2013/06/26)
The present invention relates to a process for the preparation of pure Valsartan (I) substantially free from impurities of formulae (Ia), (Ib), and (Ic), which comprises: (i) condensing 2-(4′-bromomethylphenyl)benzonitrile of formula (II) with L-valine methyl ester hydrochloride of formula (V) in the presence of a base in a solvent to produce N-[(2′-cyanobiphenyl-4-yl)methyl]-(L)-valine methyl ester of formula (VI); (ii) treating the compound VI of step (i) with acid followed by treating with base to produce pure compound VI substantially free from dimeric impurity of formula (Via); (iii) reacting the pure compound of formula (VI) with n-valeryl chloride in the presence of a base to produce pure N-valeryl-N-[(2′-cyanobiphenyl-4-yl)methyl]-(L)-valine methyl ester (VII) substantially free from alkene impurity of formula (Vila); (iv) reacting the compound of formula (VII) with trialkyltin chloride and a metal azide in a solvent at a reflux temperature to produce N-(1-oxopentyl)-N-[[2′-(2-tributyltinte-trazol-5-yl)-(1,1′-biphenyl)-4-yl]methyl]-(L)-valine methyl ester of formula (VHIb) free from thermal degradation impurity (Villa); (v) hydrolyzing the compound of formula (VHIb) in the presence of alkaline conditions to produce Valsartan (I).
