Page/Page column 6, (2010/07/09)
Disclosed Process for the preparation of optically active Frovatriptan or a salt comprising of : (i) Combining the racemic 6-cyano-3-N-methylamino- 1,2,3,4- tetrahydrocarbazole of formula (I) with D-Pyroglutamic acid as the resolving agent in a Resolution solvent and crystallizing from the said mixture the diastereomeric salt of compound of formula (II) with optically pure D- Pyroglutamic acid; (ii) Separation of desired (+)-6-cyano-3-N-methylamino-l,2,3,4- tetrahydrocarbazole of the formula (III) from the diastereomeric salt (II) using simple filtration technique; (iii) Hydrolyzing compound of formula (III) with phosphoric acid to get R-(+)-6-carboxamido-3-N-methylamino-l,253,4-tetrahydrocarbazole (frovatriptan) of the formula (IV).
