Novel process for the preparation of 1-(9h-carbazol-4-yloxy)-3-[[2-(-methoxyphenoxy)-ethyl] amino]-propan-2-ol

摘要

The present invention discloses a novel process for preparation of carvedilol by using eco friendly solvents to obtain the said carvedilol in high purity. The said process comprises, reacting 4-hydroxy carbazole of formula (IV) with epichlorhydrin in presence of an organic solvent and a base at temperatures between 10° C.-30° C.; further reacting the resultant 4-(2,3-epoxypropoxy)- carbazole of formula (II) with a salt of 2-(2-methoxyphenoxy)ethylamine of formula (III), preferably hydrochloride salt in presence of a base and a hydroxylic solvent at temperatures between 30° C.-90° C.
