Abstract

We describe the synthesis of two positional isomers and a desfluoro impurity of Voriconazole starting with Friedel–Crafts acylation of mono- and difluoro-benzene. These isomers are the crucial components in determining the quality of Voriconazole during its manufacturing from the key raw material, 1-(2,4-difluorophenyl)-2-(1H-1,2,4-triazol-1-yl)ethan-1-one. All the prepared impurities were characterized by IR, 1H-NMR, 13C-NMR, and mass spectral data.
Keywords: Voriconazole; Impurity synthesis; Positional isomers; Chloroacetyl chloride Voriconazole; Impurity synthesis; Positional isomers; Chloroacetyl chloride
