  • Patent number: 9499491
    Abstract: A process for the preparation of bromine free telmisartan in one pot starting from 2-cyano-4?-methyl biphenyl. The process uses raw materials which are readily available to yield telmisartan, its salts and derivatives thereof, which are bromine free and potentially less genotoxic, since there is no bromine atom in any of the raw materials. The process can also be carried out in multiple steps by isolation of the intermediate compounds. The intermediate compound 4-chloromethyl-2?-cyanobiphenyl can also be used for the preparation of irbesartan and other sartans.
