A process for manufacturing Rosuvastatin Potassium and crystalline and amorphous forms thereof

摘要

A process of manufacturing of Rosuvastatin Potassium of formula (I) is disclosed. The process comprises the steps of (a) treating Rosuvastatin protected compound of formula (II) wherein R1 and R2 are same or different having C1-C4 carbon atom or hydrogen or R1 and R2 can combine together to afford a cyclic structure comprising a junction atom as carbon or metal atom such as Si (silicon); with an inorganic base of the kind such as herein described having potassium as cation in a suitable solvent to form Rosuvastatin potassium; (b) isolating Rosuvastatin potassium.
