Page/Page column 11-12, (2009/10/09)
The present invention relates to processes for the purification of montelukast by the preparation of acid addition salts and tert-amylamine salt. The preparation of acid addition salts is very efficient and does not lead to the increase of impurities arising from the dehydration of the tertiary alcohol, such as styrene impurity, while the use of tert-amylamine salt highly reduces the content of styrene impurity and montelukast sulfoxide.
