Abstract: The present invention relates to a process for preparing eprosartan, an angiotensin II receptor antagonist useful in the treatment of hypertension, congestive heart failure, and renal failure. The process for preparing eprosartan consists of three stages. These stages are: (Stage†1) the regioselective protection of 2-n-butyl-4-formylimidazole; (Stage†2) the reaction between the product from Stage 1 and (2-thienylmethyl)-propanedioic acid, mono-C1-4alkyl ester; and (Stage†3) quaternary salt formation, followed by a basic work-up and an acidification. The efficiency of this synthetic sequence is particularly is particularly useful for the large-scale production of eprosartan.
