Definitions
- the invention relates to a process for the preparation of venlafaxine hydrochloride.
- the invention also relates to a process for the preparation of l-[2-amino-l-(4-methoxy phenyl)ethyl]cyclohexanol hydrochloride, a key intermediate of venlafaxine hydrochloride.
- Venlafaxine is a non-tricyclic antidepressant chemically named as ( ⁇ )-l-[2-(dimethyl amino)- 1- (4-methoxy phenyl)ethyl] cyclohexanol. It is widely used to treat depression and antisocial disorders. It is a phenethylamine bicyclic derivative, chemically unrelated to tricyclic, tetracyclic or other available antidepressant agents. The antidepressant action of venlafaxine in humans is believed to be associated with its potentiation of neurotransmitter activity in the Central Nervous System.
- hydrochloride salt of venlafaxine is convenient to be formulated into tablets, capsule, lozenges, powders or the like for oral administration and is currently available under the trade name Effexor as a racemic mixture of (+) and (-) enantiomers and is indicated for the treatment of depression.
- Formula (VI) generally comprise the following steps :
- Formula (IV) Symmetrical N-methylation of l-[2-amino-l-(4-methoxy phenyl) ethyl ] cyclohexanol of the formula (IV) in the presence of formic acid and formaldehyde (Eschweiler-Clarke reaction) to obtain Venlafaxin base of the formula (V);

- p-Methoxy phenyl acetonitrile is condensed with cyclohexanone in the presence of lithium di-isopropylamide at a temperature below 1O 0 C.
- Lithium di-isopropylamide is also highly sensitive to moisture and air and unsafe besides being expensive.
- CN1225356 describes a process for the preparation of l-[2-amino-l-(p-methoxyphenyl) ethyl] cyclohexanol, which is an important intermediate of venlafaxin.
- the process uses sodium methylate, sodium ethylate, sodamide or sodium hydride as a substitute for n-butyl lithium or lithium diisopropylamide in the condensation step and borane as a substitute for catalyst Rhodium-aluminium trioxide in the hydrogenation step.
- the reagents used in this process are also sensitive to moisture and air and unsafe.
- US '912 describes a process for the preparation of venlafaxine which comprises reduction of the compound (III) with a formylating agent in the presence of protic solvent and Raney nickel catalyst at a temperature in the range of 30 to 60° C and at the hydrogen pressure in the range of 100 to 400 psi for 6 to 16 hours followed by purification of the venlafaxine base (V).
- the yield of venlafaxine is reported to be in the range of 15 to 30 %. Further the un-reacted nitrile is required to be isolated from the reaction mixture.

- the nickel or cobalt catalyst is pretreated with a carboxylic acid or a salt or an anhydride thereof or with an ammonium salt or a vanadium-, a tungsten-, or a molybdenum compound. Pretreatment procedure is cumbersome and time consuming. Further the hydrogenation reaction carried out under basic conditions at above room temperature results in the cracking of the starting nitrile compound to produce 4-methoxyphenyl acetontrile, which may undergo hydrogenation to produce 4-methoxy phenethyl amine as an impurity.
- phenethyl amine or phenalkyl amine impurities are very similar to the end products of primary amines in terms of physical and chemical properties. Therefore, it is very difficult to separate the desired end products from the undesired ones.
