Process for the preparation of olmesartan medoxomil
The present invention provides a process for the preparation of Olmesartan medoxomil by condensing the ethyl 4-(1-hydroxy-1-methylethyl)-2-propylimidazole-5-carboxylate with 4-[2-(trityl tetrazol-5-yl)phenyl]benzyl bromide to obtain ethyl 4-(1-hydroxy-1-methyl ethyl)-2-propyl-1-{4-[2-(trityl tetrazol-5-yl)phenyl]phenyl}methylimidazole-5-carboxylate and then hydrolyzing ethyl 4-(1-hydroxy-1-methyl ethyl)-2-propyl-1-{4-[2-(trityl tetrazol-5-yl)phenyl]phenyl}methyl imidazole-5-carboxylate to obtain trityl Olmesartan dihydrate followed by reacting trityl Olmesartan dihydrate with 4-chloromethyl-5-methyl-2-oxo-1,3-dioxolene to obtain trityl Olmesartan medoxomil and then deprotecting trityl Olmesartan medoxomil to obtain Olmesartan medoxomil.
