A NOVEL PROCESS FOR PREPARATION OF ALOGLIPTIN BENZOATE

摘要

The present invention provides a novel process for preparing Alogliptin free base and its benzoate salt which comprises insitu condensation process to produce protected Alogliptin by reacting 6-chloro-3-methylpyrimidine-2, 4(1H, 3H)-dione with 2-(halo methyl) benzonitirle in presence of a base, aprotic solvent followed by insitu reaction with protected (3R)-piperidin-3-amine at elevated temperature. The protected Alogliptinis deprotected to obtain Alogliptin free base and further converted to Alogliptin benzoate.
