  • Patent number: 6903232
    Abstract: This invention relates to a novel process to obtain highly pure 4-(cyclopropylcarbonyl)-?,?-dimethylphenylacetic acid of Formula I through crystallization from a mixture of para and meta regioisomers of Formula I and II in cyclohexane, whereby the amount of undesired meta isomer, 3-(cyclopropylcarbonyl)-?,?-dimethylphenylacetic acid of Formula II is decreased to below 0.5%. The compound of Formula I is a key intermediate for the preparation of high purity terfenadine carboxylate, which is a known antihistaminic.
