PROCESS FOR THE PREPARATION OF PERINDOPRIL ERBUMINE SALT AND NOVEL POLYMORPH (S) THEREOF

摘要

A single pot process for the preparation of perindopril erbumine salt according to which condensation of (2S, 3aS, 7aS)-octahydroindole-2-carboxylic acid benzyl ester para toluene sulfonate with N-((S-)-ethoxy carbonyl -1-ethyl-(S)-alanine, catalytic hydrogenation of benzyl ester of (2S, 3aS, 7aS)-1-{2-[1-(ethoxycarbonyl)-(S)-butylamino]-(S)propionyl}- octahydro-indole-2-carboxylate and conversion of (2S,3aS, 7aS)-1-{2-[1-ethoxycarbonyl)_(S)-butylamino]-(S)-propionyl}octahydroindole-2-carboxylic acid to its perindopril erbumine salt are carried out in a single pot using a single solvent such as isopropyl acetate to obtain perindopril erbumine salt of very high purity. Also a novel polymorph S of perindopril erbumine having X-ray diffraction peaks of 9.10, 14.64, 15.37, 16.58, 17.39, 19.99, 20.62, 21.50, 22.15, 22.60, 24.20, 27.55 ± 0.2 at 2T values. Also processes for preparing the novel polymorph S.
