The present invention pertains to process for preparing nucleoside phosphoramidates and their intermediates. Phosphoramidates are inhibitors of RNA-dependent RNA viral replication and are useful as inhibitors of HCV NS5B polymerase, as inhibitors of HCV replication and for treatment of hepatitis C infection in mammals. One of the recently approved phosphoramidate by USFDA is Sofosbuvir [1190307-88-0]. Sofosbuvir is a component of the first all-oral, interferon-free regimen approved for treating chronic hepatitis C. The present invention provides novel intermediate, its process for preparation and use for the preparation of Sofosbuvir. The present invention also gives one pot process for preparation of Sofosbuvir.

Hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection is a major health problem that leads to chronic liver disease, such as cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma, in a substantial number of infected individuals. There are limited treatment options for individuals infected with hepatitis C virus. The current approved therapeutic option is the use of immunotherapy with recombinant interferon- [alpha] alone or in combination with the nucleoside analog ribavirin.

Formula 1

Example 1:

Process for the preparation of S-oxazolidinone derivative of Formula 2

Step-1 Preparation of phosphorochloridate solution:

Dichloromethane (DCM 400ml) was charged in round bottom flask flushed with nitrogen. Phenyl phosphodichloridate (18.30ml) was added in one portion in the flask. The flask was cooled to -60°-70°C with a dry ice-acetone bath. Solution of L-alanine isopropyl ester hydrochloride (20.6gm)) in DCM (50ml) was added to the reaction flask. To this was added a solution of triethylamine (11.20ml) in MDC (100 ml) was added over a course of 60 minutes, while maintaining internal temperature below -70 °C throughout the addition. After completion of reaction, temperature of reaction mass was raised to room temperature.

100ml THF was charged in another round bottom flask flushed with nitrogen followed by the addition of S-4-phenyloxazolidnone (lOgm). Triethyl-amine (11.2ml) & LiCl (2.85gm) were added to the above flask. The reaction mass was stirred for 15-30 min at room temperature and was cooled to 0-5 °C. Phosphorochloridate solution from step-1 was added drop- wise to the reaction flask in 15-45 min maintaining reaction temperature at 0-5 °C. The reaction mass was stirred for 30-60min at 0°-5°C. The reaction progress was monitored on thin layer chromatography. After completion of the reaction, the reaction temperature was raised to room temperature. Agitation was resumed for an additional 30min. The reaction mass was filtered and concentrated under reduced pressure. To this was added diisopropyl ether (400ml) and aqueous saturated ammonium chloride solution and reaction mass was stirred for 10-15 minutes. Organic layer was separated and was washed with water (100ml) & dried over sodium sulfate and concentrated under vacuum. Cyclohexane (50ml) was charged to the obtained oily mass and reaction mass was stirred till solid precipitated out. Solid was filtered and washed with cyclohexane and dried under vacuum (8.80gm MP 56.5°-56.6°C). The obtained product was characterized by mass, NMR & IR. 1H NMR (DMSO-d6) δ 1.142 -1.18

Example 2: Process for the preparation of 2-hydroxy pyridine derivatives of formula 2:

Anhydrous dichloromethane (DCM) 700ml was charged in round bottom flask flushed with nitrogen. The flask was cooled to -60° to -70°C in a dry ice acetone bath. Phenyl phosphodichloridate (76.04 gm) was added in one portion in the flask at -65°C. Solution of L-alanine isopropyl ester hydrochloride (60.56 gm) in DCM (50 ml) was added to the reaction mass. Solution of triethylamine (72.44gm) in DCM (50ml) was added to the reaction mass over a course of 60 minutes, while maintaining internal temperature below -70°C throughout the addition. The resulting white slurry was agitated for additional 60 minutes. Then the temperature of reaction mass was raised to room temperature. Reaction mass was stirred for 60 min & TLC was checked.
