Synthesis and crystal structure of topiramate azido-sulfate at 90 K and 298 K.

Abstract

The low (90 K) and room (298 K) temperature crystal structures of topiramate azido-sulfate [systematic name 2,3:4,5-bis-O-(1-methyl-ethyl-idene)-β-d-fructo-pyran-ose azido-sulfate], C12H19N3O8S, an inter-mediate in the synthesis of the anti-convulsant drug topiramate, are described. Topiramate azido-sulfate (I) finds use as a reference impurity standard for topiramate. A modified synthesis and some spectroscopic details are also presented.
