Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

An object of the present invention is to provide a novel method capable of producing rosuvastatin calcium and intermediates therefor efficiently, inexpensively and with high purity. The present invention provides a method of efficiently producing rosuvastatin calcium and intermediates therefor having a high purity at an industrial scale, without using an extremely low temperature reaction or a special asymmetric catalyst.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. A production method of rosuvastatin calcium, comprising (B) a step of converting a compound represented by the following formula (12): wherein M is an alkali metal element, an alkaline earth metal element or hydrogen, to a compound represented by the following formula (13): 2. The production method according to claim 1 , comprising, prior to said step (B), (Aa) a step of converting a mixture of a compound represented by the following formula (14): wherein R is a primary alkyl group having 1-8 carbon atoms or a secondary alkyl group having 3-6 carbon atoms, and a compound represented by the following formula (15): wherein R is as defined above, to a mixture of a compound represented by the following formula (16): wherein M is an alkali metal element, an alkaline earth metal element or hydrogen, and a compound represented by said formula (12), by hydrolyzing same in the presence of a base. 3. A purification method of rosuvastatin calcium comprising a compound represented by the following formula (12): wherein M is an alkali metal element, an alkaline earth metal element or hydrogen, comprising (B) a step of converting the compound represented by the formula (12) to a compound represented by the following formula (13): 4. Rosuvastatin calcium comprising not less than 1 ppm and not more than 1000 ppm of a compound represented by the following formula (13):
