Serendipitous Discovery of a Zidovudine Guanidine Complex: A Superior Process for the Production of Zidovudine
摘要:
A superior process for the commercial production of zidovudine (AZT) has been developed. It was discovered that an AZT-guanidine complex formed when a crude zidovudine solution was treated with guanidine. This readily precipitated from protic solvents resulting in the exclusion of impurities and permitted the development of a superior isolation and purification of AZT.
