An alternative synthesis of Azilsartan: an angiotensin II receptor blocker

Abstract

This paper provides a description of an alternative, novel and commercially viable process which has been developed for the preparation of Azilsartan, a pro-drug of Azilsartan medoxomil, an angiotensin II receptor blocker. The present work also provides a primary account of the synthesis and characterization of the novel intermediates (6, 7 & 10) of Azilsartan, with their spectral data.
