Procedure: The rosuvastatin potassium salt obtained is further treated with mixture of toluene and ethyl acetate followed by treatment with suitable calcium source like calcium chloride, calcium acetate, calcium hydroxide and the like. In particular, calcium acetate is used to obtain rosuvastatin calcium salt. The isolated rosuvastatin calcium is in amorphous form.

Procedure: To a solution of 25 g of tert-butyl (S)-3-hydroxypyrrolidine-1-carboxylate and 25.9 g of diisopropylethylamine dissolved in 500 ml of methylene chloride was added dropwise 100 ml of a solution of 49 g of anhydrous trifluoromethanesulfonic acid in methylene chloride at −20° C. or lower. The reaction mixture was stirred for 15 minutes while maintaining it to −20° C., and then, to the mixture was added dropwise 100 ml of a solution of 24.2 g of (R)-1-(3-methoxyphenyl)ethylamine in methylene chloride at −20° C. or lower, and the reaction mixture was stirred at room temperature for 16 hours. To the reaction mixture were added a saturated aqueous sodium bicarbonate solution and chloroform, the mixture was stirred and the liquids were separated. The organic layer was dried and the solvent was evaporated, and the residue was purified by silica gel column chromatography (hexane:ethyl acetate=2:1→1:2) to obtain 19.32 g of tert-butyl 3-[(R)-1-(3-methoxyphenyl)ethylamino]pyrrolidine-1-carboxylate. (2) To a solution of 19.32 g of tert-butyl 3-[(R)-1-(3-methoxyphenyl)ethylamino]pyrrolidine-1-carboxylate dissolved in 30 ml of chloroform was added 300 ml of a solution of 4M hydrochloric acid in dioxane, and the mixture was stirred at room temperature for 16 hours. The resulting precipitates were collected by filtration, washed with ethyl acetate, and recrystallized from methanol and tetrahydrofuran twice to obtain 8.54 g of (R)-3-[(R)-1-(3-methoxyphenyl)ethylamino]pyrrolidine dihydrochloride (the following Reference example Table, Reference example 1.003). The resulting precipitates were collected by filtration washed with ethyl acetate recrystallized from methanol and tetrahydrofuran twice
