Abstract:
The present invention disclosed herein is a cost effective, in-situ process for the preparation of montelukast or its pharmaceutically acceptable salts of formula (1) by reacting optically pure (S)-1-{3-[2-(7-chloroquinolin-2-yl)ethylene]-phenyl}-3-[2-(1-hydroxy-1-methyl ethyl) phenyl]-propan-I-ol with methane sulfonyl chloride to afford mesylate derivative of formula (2) substantially free of impurities; followed by insitu condensing the same with disodium salt of mercapto-cyclopropyl acetic acid of formula (3) to afford montelukast free acid in good yield and purity, then converting the montelukast free acid into its substituted amine salt of formula (4). Further the montelukast substituted amine is converted into its pharmaceutically acceptable salt.
