A PROCESS FOR PREPARATION OF MONTELUKAST SODIUM SALT

摘要

The present invention relates to a process for the preparation of montelukast sodium salt. The process includes (a) reacting 2-(2-(3-(S)-(3-(7-chloro-2- quinolinyl)-ethenyl) phenyl)-3-hydroxypropyl)- phenyl-2-propanol of Formula (II) with diphenyl chloro phosphate to get a compound of Formula III; (b) condensing the compound of Formula III with a compound of Formula IV to get compound of Formula V; (c) and converting the compound of Formula V to montelukast sodium of Formula (I).
