Abstract
Unknown by-product in Simvastatin synthesis from Lovastatin was found. The elucidation of this molecular structure by means of (1)H and (13)C NMR spectroscopy, HPLC/MS, MS/MS and FT-IR was shown. The mentioned by-product, originated during Merck Sharp and Dhome synthesis scheme was isolated in the second-last step replacing butylamine with benzylamine. The spectroscopic results agreed with a molecular formula C(32)H(43)NO(3). The proposed structure of this compound, characterised by the presence of a conjugated dienic system in the heptanoic acid amide residue, was alpha,beta,gamma,delta unsaturated Simvastatin N-benzylamide.Entities:
