A facile, cost‐effective, and commercially viable synthesis of Raltegravir Potassium (1) has been developed from 2‐(1‐amino‐1‐methyl‐ethyl)‐N‐[(4‐fluorophenyl)methyl]‐1,6‐dihydro‐5‐hydroxy‐1‐methyl‐6‐oxo‐4‐pyrimidinecarboxamide (9) with high purity and in good yields. In addition, a new approach for the synthesis of key amine intermediate (9) of Raltegravir Potassium (1) from commercially available 2‐amino‐2‐methylpropanenitrile hydrochloride (2) is also described. The key features of the synthesis are fewer synthetic steps, employing the inexpensive reagents and eco‐friendly.
