AN INDUSTRIALLY APPLICABLE PROCESS FOR PREPARING HIGH PURITY ACLIDINIUM BROMIDE

摘要

An efficient and industrially applicable process for preparing aclidinium bromide of formula I, comprising the following steps a) preparation of the quinuclidinyl ester by transestenfication of methyl di(2-thienly)giycolate with R-(-)-3-quinuclidinol in the presence of a sterically hindered base in an inert solvent; b) isolation of the quinuclidinyl ester; and c) quaternization of the quinuclidinyl ester by 3-phenoxypropyl bromide in a suitable solvent.
