Rosuvastatin intermediate C-6, chemically known as 4-(4-fluorophenyl)-6-isopropyl-2-methyl-5-oxo-1,2,3,4-tetrahydropyrimidine, serves as a pivotal building block in the industrial synthesis of rosuvastatin calcium. The CAS No. is typically associated with specific pyrimidinone derivatives used in this pathway. Its production involves condensation reactions under controlled conditions to ensure high purity for pharmaceutical manufacturing.
Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and incompatible oxidizers. Personnel must wear appropriate PPE including gloves and goggles during handling due to potential skin irritation. This intermediate is strictly for industrial use and not intended for direct clinical administration.
