MODIFIED FISCHER INDOLE SYNTHESIS OF ELETRIPTAN
The present invention relates to a new process for the preparation of eletriptan (I), or its enantiomer comprising a modified Fischer indole synthesis, namely the reaction of a compound of formula (II), wherein R1 is a suitable hydrazine protecting group, with a compound of formula (III) wherein R2is an aldehyde group (-CHO) or the functional equivalent thereof.
