Product Name:Treprostinil
CAS Number:81846-19-7
Molecular formula:C23H34O5
Molecular Weight:390.51

A 250-mL, round-bottom flask with a magnetic stirrer was charged with treprostinil diethanolamine salt (4 g) and water (40 mL). The mixture was stirred to obtain a clear solution. Ethyl acetate (100 mL) was added to the clear solution. While stirring, 3M HCl (3.2 mL) was added slowly until pH=1 was attained. The mixture was stirred for 10 minutes, and the organic layer was separated. The aqueous layer was extracted with ethyl acetate (2×100 mL). The combined organic layers were washed with water (2×100 mL) and brine (1×50 mL) and dried over anhydrous Na2SO4. The ethyl acetate solution of treprostinil was filtered, and the filtrate was concentrated under a vacuum at 50° C. to give an off-white solid. The crude treprostinil was recrystallized from 50% ethanol in water (70 mL). The pure treprostinil was collected in a Buchner funnel by filtration, and the cake was washed with a cold 20% ethanolic solution in water. The cake of treprostinil was air-dried overnight and further dried in a vacuum oven at 50° C under high vacuum to afford 2.9 g of treprostinil (Yield 91.4%).
