Abstract
Bendamustine deschloro dimer was considered as a potential impurity in bendamustine hydrochloride resulting from the hydrolysis of bendamustine followed by intermolecular esterification. An efficient synthesis of bendamustine deschloro dimer was achieved from 4-(5-amino-1-methyl-1H-benzo[d]imidazol-2-yl)butanoate involving nine sequential steps including benzyl-protection/deprotection of the amine and carboxylic acid groups, saponification, ring-opening reaction of oxirane as well as Fischer/Steglish esterfication and so on. The target bendamustine deschloro dimer was obtained using a high-performance liquid chromatography in a purity of 95.63%.
