Online published on 25 June, 2015. Abstract During the preparation of ethyl 4-(1-Hydroxy-1-methylethyl)-2-propylimidazole-5-carboxylate (1), derivative, eleven related substances (Impurities and analog) were observed along with the final Imidazole derivative. Those impurities were identified as, Ethyl carbinol imidazole (13), Methoxy imidazole (14), Olefinic imidazole (15), 4-Acetyl imidazole (12), Diacetyl imidazole (16), 5-Acetyl imidazole (17), Diethyl ester imidazole (9), Acetate imidazole Impurity (23), Propionate imidazole Impurity (29), Isobutyrate Imidazole Impurity (41) and butyl Imidazole Impurity (35). Present work describes the synthesis and characterization of all these elven impurities. Top Keywords Ethyl 4-(1-Hydroxy-1-methylethyl)-2-propylimidazole-5-carboxylate (1) key intermidate of olmesartan medoxomil, synthesis and characterization of impurities. Top |
