Field of the invention
The present invention relates to an improved process for the preparation of antidiabetic compounds having the formula (1).

where R1 represents alkyl group such as methyl, ethyl, propyl, isopropyl, butyl, tert- butyl and the like. The compound of formula (I) is useful in lowering the plasma glucose, rriglyceride, total cholesterol (TC); increase high-density lipoprotein (HDL) and decrease low-density lipoprotein (LDL).
The compound of formula (I) is also useful in reducing body weight and for the treatment and / or prophylaxis of diseases such as hypertension, coronary heart disease, atherosclerosis, stroke, peripheral vascular diseases and related disorders.
The compound of formula (I) is also useful for the treatment and/or prophylaxis of insulin resistance (type II diabetes).
The present invention also relates to novel intermediate of formula (lb) and their use in the preparation of compound of formula (I).
Background of invention In our WTO application No. 2416/MAS/97 we have described a process for the preparation of a novel antidiabetic compound having the formula (1). The process described therein comprises of converting aldehyde of formula (2) where X represents hydrogen or halogen atom to a compound of formula (3) where all symbols are as defined above and R2 represents lower alkyl group, reducing the compound of formula
(3) to produce a compound of formula (4), hydrolysing the compound of formula (4) to obtain an acid of formula (5), converting the acid of formula (5) to an amide of the formula (6) and hydrolysing the amide to produce the compound of formula (1), where X and R are as defined above. The process is shown in the scheme -1 given below

Scheme-1 While developing the improved process we observed that the process for the preparation of the compounds of the formula (1) as disclosed in our above referred application involves
• the use of exotic reactions like Wittig-Homer reaction, which is a moisture sensitive reaction, to prepare the compound of the formula (3). Moisture sensitive reactions are difficult to handle in large scale manufacturing process.
• tedious reaction steps employing expensive, tedious and time consuming column chromatographic methods
• the overall yield of the compounds of the formula (1) is only -2.5% and time cycle required for the completion of the reaction sequence resulting in the compounds of the formula (1) is very long which makes the process very expensive for commercial application .
In our PCT application no. IB99/00684 (publication no. WO 00/26200) we have described process for preparing the compound of formula (1). The reaction schemes are shown below:
Figure imgf000004_0001
Scheme-2 Though it is convergent synthetic method, the compound of formula (10) is produced in racemic mixture, which has to be resolved to get the optically pure material.
Schemes 3 and 4 also disclose an alternate process for the preparation of compound of formula (10).
Figure imgf000005_0001
Scheme-3
In this process also the resolution has to be carried out for compound of formula (10).
Figure imgf000005_0002
Scheme-4 Recognizing the importance of the new antidiabetic compound, we continued the research to develop a more efficient, simple and commercially viable stereoselective process for the preparation of the said novel compounds of the formula (1).
Objective of present invention The main objective of the present invention is to provide a simple and robust process for the preparation of the compound of formula (1) with high chemical and chiral purity. To overcome the problem of partial racemization during the conversion of compound of formula (10) to compound of formula (11).
To avoid the use of highly reactive, difficult to handle and expensive chemicals replace with simple, inexpensive chemicals such as diethylsulphate and potassium carbonate.
