Two or more routes are carried over a key intermediate in the alkylation of the amine compound X and then deprotecting to give the target compound I. Use of highly toxic chiral oxazaborolidine key intermediate in the process for preparing a compound X as a catalyst is expensive, and serious environmental pollution can not be recycled, high production costs; while boron reducing agent used in the process alkoxy – tetrahydrofuran solution of dimethyl sulfide have high reactivity shortcomings need to use special equipment. Further, throughout the synthesis process used in amounts of sodium hydride, sodium hydride in the reaction process will emit a lot of heat, and the use of sodium hydride and stored under harsh conditions, there are security risks in industrial production, is not suitable for industrial production.

Laurus Labs Limited was improved synthesis process described above, Patent W02014041565, which scheme is as follows:

While this synthesis will replace potassium t-butoxide, sodium hydride, to reduce the security risks in industrial production, but the process for preparing a key intermediate compound using X is still toxic as chiral oxazaborolidine catalyst, and environmental pollution high production cost issues remain unresolved.

Vilanterol is chemically described as 4-{(lR)-2-[6-{2-(2, 6-dichlorobenzyl) oxy] ethoxy} hexyl) amino]- l-hydroxyethyl}-2-(hydroxymethyl) phenol as represented by Formula I.

Formula I The compound 4-{(lR)-2-[(6-{2-[(2,6-dicUorobenzyl)oxy]emoxy}hexyl)amino]-l- hydroxy ethyl} -2-(hydroxymethyl)phenol is specifically described in WO2003/024439, as are pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof, in particular the acetate, triphenylacetate, a-phenylcinnamate, 1-naphthoate and (R)-mandelate salts. More specifically the preferred pharmaceutically acceptable salt is triphenylacetate salt.

The PCT publication WO 2003/024439, the corresponding US equivalent US 7,361,787 (herein after the ‘787 patent) and J.Med.Chem, 2010, 53, 4522-4530 discloses the process for preparation of vilanterol along with pharmaceutically acceptable salt. The ‘787 patent reaction sequence is schematically represented as follows:

The process described in the ‘787 patent uses alcoholic solvent during the acetonide cleavage of Formula XIV, which tends to result in the formation of the corresponding ether impurities. This requires repetitive purifications, which can be tedious to practice during scale up process. Moreover the dibromo hexane used in the process contains the corresponding 1, 5-dibromo alkanes which tends to react in the same sequential manner to generate the corresponding analogues, which requires repetitive purifications to separate out from the final API. The ‘787 patent imply the use of column chromatographic procedures which are not feasible on the commercial scale.

The ‘787 patent further elucidates the process for preparing (5R)-5-(2, 2-dimethyl-4H-l,

isomeric impurities for the chiral intermediate would carry forward during the process 2013/000556

which results in the formation of various isomeric impurities which are difficult to separate and need more tedious procedures. Moreover reagents like sodium hydride are difficult to handle during the scale up process as it tends to generate high exothermicity, which can affect the yield and purity of the said compound.

The purity and the yield of vilanterol trifenatate as per the disclosed process are not satisfactory and also the said process involves chromatography techniques to isolate the intermediate compounds. The said techniques are tedious, labor intensive, time consuming process not suitable for industrial scale and which in turn result to an increase in the manufacturing cost. Moreover the said process involves the use of vilanterol trifenatate which degrades to form certain impurities and results in the formation of the final compound with a lesser purity.

In view of intrinsic fragility there is a need in the art to develop a simple, industrially feasible and scalable process for the synthesis of vilanterol that would avoid the aforementioned difficulties. Moreover it becomes necessary to prepare highly chiral pure oxazolidinone intermediate to prepare chirally pure vilanterol.
