The invention relates to an improved process for the preparation of Losartan. The process comprising reacting 2-n-butyl-4-chloro-5-formyl imidazole with 2-(4-bromomethyl) benzonitrile in the presence of a phase transfer catalyst and an alkali, and reducing the resulting cyano aldehyde to produce a cyano alcohol which is further reacted with sodium azide in N-methyl pyrrolidinone and a salt to produce Losartan.

Alternative process for the preparation of losartan

The invention relates to a improved process for the preparation of Losartan and its potassium salt, which comprises: (i) reacting bromo OTBN with BCFI in the presence of a base and a phase transfer catalyst to produce a cyano aldehyde; reacting the formed cyano aldehyde with sodium azide in the presence of tributyl tin chloride to produce aldehyde tetrazole; reducing the formed aldehyde tetrazole with sodium borohydride to produce Losartan; and, if desired, converting the formed Losartan to its potassium salt by known method.

Process for the preparation of losartan

The invention disclosed in this application relates to an improved process for the preparation of Entacapone. In one embodiment the process involves: (i) reacting a 3-alkoxy-4-hydroxy-5-nitrobenzadehyde with N,N-diethylaminocyanoacetamide in the presence of a mild acid catalyst and a solvent, to provide a 3-O-alkylated Entacapone, and treating the 3-O-alkylated Entacapone with an acid catalyst in the presence of an organic base to provide Entacapone.
