A PROCESS FOR THE PREPARATION OF RIVAROXABAN BASED ON THE USE OF (S)-EPICHLOROHYDRIN
The invention relates to the stereoisomers of 4-{4-[(S/R)-5-[(((aryl)methylene)- amino)methyl]-2-oxo-1,3-oxazolidin-3-yl]phenyl}morpholin-3-ones described by the chemical formulae (S)-(9) and (R)-(9). The optical isomer of compound (9) with the (S)- configuration is industrially applicable for the manufacture of the antithrombotic drug rivaroxaban (1). The new preparation process of rivaroxaban comprises a reaction of (S)-1- chloro-3-(((aryl)methylene)amino)propan-2-ols (S)-(14) with alkyl 4-(3-oxomorpholine-4- yl)phenylcarbamates (15) providing the key intermediate (S)-(9), which is further subjected to hydrolytic deprotection and subsequent acylation, producing rivaroxaban. The commercially available (S)-epichlorohydrin has been conveniently used as the chiral building block for the production of the key intermediate.
