Abstract:
The present invention relates to a novel process for the preparation of polymorphic forms of clopidogrel hydrogen sulfate, namely methyl(+)-(S)-α-(o-chlorophenyl)-6,7-dihydrothieno[3,2-c]pyridine-5(4H)-acetate hydrogen sulfate of formula (I). Particularly the present invention relates to the process for the preparation of form (I) and amorphous clopidogrel hydrogen sulfate.
