An efficient, telescopic, and scalable process for an antihypertensive drug substance, valsartan with an overall yield of 58%, and ∼99.9% purity is described. A simple, and safe process is developed for the recovery of tributyltin chloride from the tributyltin hydroxide, byproduct formed in the tetrazole ring construction, and reused in the synthesis of valsartan.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
