AN IMPROVED PROCESS FOR PREPARATION OF ZOLMITRIPTAN
摘要
<p>The present invention provides a convenient and industrially viable process for preparation of Zolmitriptan (I) having desired purity. The invention specifically relates to a method for isolating (S)-4-(4-hydrazinobenzyl)-1,3-oxazolidin-2-one hydrochloride (IIIa) of desired purity by separating the undesired inorganic side products such as stannous hydroxide by manipulation of pH at different stages and finally treating with N,N-dimethylamino butyraldehyde diethyl acetal in an acidic medium to provide Zolmitriptan (I) conforming to regulatory specifications.</p>
