Crystallization method for purification of calcipotriene

Provided is a crystallization method for reducing the level of impurities in calcipotriene in which a solution of a starting calcipotriene in a first process solvent, for example THF, is combined with second process solvent, for example methyl formate, and, after cooling, calcipotriene is isolated....

Summary:Provided is a crystallization method for reducing the level of impurities in calcipotriene in which a solution of a starting calcipotriene in a first process solvent, for example THF, is combined with second process solvent, for example methyl formate, and, after cooling, calcipotriene is isolated. The method can include a slurry step for reducing the level of residual first process solvent.
