The present invention also relates to a method for the preparation of Rivaroxaban wherein, the said invention substantially eliminates the impurities formed during the preparation of Rivaroxaban.


BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

5-chloro-N-({(5S)-2-oxo-3-[4-(3-oxomorpholin-4-yl)phenyl]-1,3-oxazolidin-5-yl}methyl)thiophene-2-carboxamide (herein “Rivaroxaban”) also known as Xarelto®, has a CAS number of 366789-02-8, a molecular formula of C19H18ClN3O5S and the following structure:

Rivaroxaban is an orally active direct factor Xa (FXa) inhibitor drug, used for the prevention and treatment of various thromboembolic diseases, in particular pulmonary embolism, deep venous thrombosis, myocardial infarction, angina pectoris, reocclusion and restenosis after angioplasty or aortocoronary bypass, cerebral stroke, transitory ischemic attacks, and peripheral arterial occlusive diseases.


WO 01/47919 application describes a method for preparing Rivaroxaban of formula (I), with an overall yield of 69%, wherein 4-(4-aminophenyl)morpholin-3-one compound of formula (II) is reacted with 2-[(2S)-oxiran-2-ylmethyl]-1H-isoindole-1,3(2H)-dione, compound of formula (III), in presence of solvent namely, ethanol and water mixture to obtain 2-[(2R)-2-hydroxy-3-{[4-(3-oxomorpholin-4-yl)phenyl]amino}propyl]-1H-isoindole-1,3(2H)-dione compound of formula (IV). Subsequently, compound of formula (IV) is converted to 2-({(5S)-2-oxo-3-[4-(3-oxomorpholin-4-yl)phenyl]-1,3-oxazolidin-5-yl}methyl)-1H-isoindole-1,3(2H)-dione of formula (V) with a phosgene equivalent namely, 1,1′-carbonylbis(1H-imidazole). Removal of the pthalamide protecting group from compound of formula (V) affords 4-{4-[(5S)-5-(aminomethyl)-2-oxo-1,3-oxazolidin-3-yl]phenyl}morpholin-3-one of formula (VI), which is then coupled with 5-chlorothiophene-2-carbonyl chloride of formula (VIII) to give 5-chloro-N-({(5S)-2-oxo-3-[4-(3-oxomorpholin-4-yl)phenyl]-1,3-oxazolidin-5-yl}methyl)thiophene-2-carboxamide i.e. Rivaroxaban of formula (I) as shown in scheme-1;

However, we have analyzed the process disclosed in WO 01/47919, which exhibits various disadvantages in the reaction management for the preparation of Rivaroxaban on industrial scale. Some of the limitations are as follows:

    • process disclosed in WO 01/47919 is lengthy (Step-1 requires 48 hours and Step-2 requires 40 hours) and time consuming;
    • excess loading (4 mole equivalents) of expensive compound of formula (III) for the reaction between compound of formula (II) with compound of formula (III), makes the whole process expensive and cumbersome as the reaction mass of the first reaction needs to be filtered and the obtained mass was subjected for the same reaction using compound of formula (III);
    • diethylether employed for washing the compound of formula (IV) is flammable thus not safe
    • process disclosed in WO 01/47919 involve purification of the intermediate compound of Formula (V) and Rivaroxaban of formula (I) by column chromatography which is industrially not feasible. WO 01/47919 process is unsafe and not eco-friendly due to use of carcinogenic pyridine as a solvent and base


Hence, there is a need for a solution that overcomes the above stated limitations.


The present invention proposes a process for preparation of Rivaroxaban and novel intermediates used for the preparation of Rivaroxaban thereof; which is economic, efficient, eco-friendly, and eliminates extensive laborious work-up.


OBJECTS OF THE PRESENT INVENTION

The primary object of the present invention is to provide, efficient, economic and industrially feasible process for preparation of Rivaroxaban of formula (I).


Another object of the present invention is to provide novel intermediate for the preparation of Rivaroxaban of formula (I).


Yet another object of the present invention is to provide a process for preparation of Rivaroxaban of formula (I); wherein the said process eliminates laborious workup and extensive purifications. Hence, makes the process simple, easy and user friendly.


Yet another object of the present invention is to provide a process for preparation of Rivaroxaban of formula (I), wherein the obtained Rivaroxaban is substantially free from impurities and thereby eliminating the required purification steps and further making the process cost effective and efficient.
