Pramipexole, (S)-2-amino-4,5,6,7-tetrahydro-6-(propylamino)benzothiazole, represented by the following formula I (the compound of formula I), is a dopamine D2/D3 agonist used for treatment of Schizophrenia, and particularly for the treatment of Parkinson's disease. Pramipexole is marketed in the form of dihydrochloride monohydrate salt under the brand name Mirapex.

Formula I

The compound of formula I is disclosed in US Patent no. 4,886,812 (US '812 Patent). The US' 812 Patent also describes a process for the preparation of the compound of formula I and its dihydrochloride monohydrate salt involving the propylation reaction of the compound of formula II with n-propylbromide as a propylating agent in the presence of potassium carbonate by using methanol as a solvent to provide the reaction mixture. The resulting reaction mixture is then refluxed for 3 hours. After completion of the reaction, water is added to the reaction mixture. The reaction mixture is then extracted with ethyl acetate and concentrated to obtain the residue. The obtained residue is purified by silica gel chromatography and the corresponding fraction is concentrated under reduced pressure to obtain the compound of formula I which is then converted into its dihydrochloride monohydrate salt. Although, US '812 Patent describes the process for the preparation of the compound of formula I from the compound of formula II, it does not teach the process for converting the compound of formula I into its dihydrochloride monohydrate salt. Also, the process described in US '812 Patent involves propylation of the compound of formula II using 4 molar equivalents of n-propylbromide as the propylating agent. N-propylbromide is known to be carcinogenic compound and its average threshold limit value for 8 hours exposure is 10 parts per million. Therefore, on commercial scale, excess use of such a hazardous reagent is not desirable. Further, propylation of the compound of formula II using the process described in US '812 Patent generates one major impurity namely (6S)-2,6-benzothiazolediamine,4,5,6,7-tetrahydro-N²,N⁶-dipropyl. The US '812 Patent does not teach any purification method for removal of this impurity.

Indian Patent Application no. 694/MUM/2006 describes a process for the preparation of the dihydrochloride monohydrate salt of the compound of formula I involving treating the alcoholic solution of the compound of formula I with hydrochloric acid and precipitating the dihydrochloride monohydrate salt of the compound of formula I by addition of water. The process disclosed in this patent application does not involve any purification step for the purification of the compound of formula I or its dihydrochloride monohydrate salt and thus, the final active pharmaceutical ingredient (API), the dihydrochloride monohydrate salt of the compound of formula I prepared by this process does not have the desired pharmaceutically acceptable purity.

Indian patent application no. 605/MUM/2008 describes a process for the preparation of the dihydrochloride salt of the compound of formula I. The process for the preparation of the dihydrochloride salt of the compound of formula I involves the propylation reaction of the compound of formula II with n-propanal as a propylating agent by using a mixture of methanol and water as the solvent. To the resulting reaction mixture, glacial acetic acid and sodium borohydride are charged and the reaction mixture is stirred for 30-40 minutes at a temperature of 15 to 20°C. The reaction mixture is then cooled to -5 to 0°C and to the reaction mixture; second lot of n-propanal with methanol and sodium borohydride is added. The resulting reaction mixture is stirred for 30-40 minutes and quenched with brine solution. The reaction mixture is distilled under vacuum to obtain a residue. To the obtained residue, ethyl acetate and water are added. Two layers formed are separated and ethyl acetate layer is concentrated under vacuum to obtain the crude compound of formula I. The resulting crude compound of formula I is then recrystallised by using acetonitrile to yield the pure compound of formula I. To the pure compound of formula I; ethanolic hydrochloric acid solution is added. The reaction mixture is stirred for 1 hour to precipitate the solid. The precipitated solid is filtered and suspended in ethanol. The reaction mixture is then stirred at reflux temperature for 30 minutes and at room temperature for 1 hour to precipitate the dihydrochloride salt of the compound of formula I. The precipitated dihydrochloride salt of the compound of formula I is dissolved in a mixture of ethanol and water; and filtered through hyflo. The filtrate is then distilled under vacuum and recrystallised by using ethanol to obtain the pure dihydrochloride salt of the compound of formula I. The process disclosed in said patent involves the use of 3 molar equivalents of sodium borohydride and n-propanal which renders the process costlier and hence, this process is not viable for scale up.

The general process for producing the dihydrochloride monohydrate salt of the compound of formula I is depicted in the following Scheme I:

Vortioxetine is disclosed as Example 1 e in WO 2003/029232 A1 and is described as being prepared analogously to Example 1 . The process used to prepare Example 1 involves the preparation of 1 -(2-((2-(trifluoromethyl)phenyl)thio)phenyl)piperazine on a solid polystyrene support, followed by decomplexation using visible light irradiation, and purification by preparative LC-MS and ion-exchange chromatography. The overall yield for the preparation of vortioxetine is described as 17%.

Several alternative palladium catalyzed processes for the preparation of vortioxetine are described in Examples 17 to 25 of WO 2007/144005 A1 . These processes describe the preparation of vortioxetine from 2,4-dimethylthiophenol and 2-bromoiodobenzene (or 1 ,2-dibromobenzene) starting materials via a 1 -(2-bromo-phenylsulfanyl)-2,4-dimethyl-benzene intermediate. Each of these processes involves the use of a palladium catalyst and a phosphine ligand.

The preparation of vortioxetine is also described by Bang-Andersen et al. in J. Med. Chem. (201 1 ), Vol. 54, 3206-3221 . Here, in a first step, te/t-butyl 4-(2-bromophenyl)piperazine-1 -carboxylate intermediate is prepared from Boc-piperazine and 2-bromoiodobenzene in a palladium catalyzed coupling reaction. te/t-Butyl 4-(2-bromophenyl)piperazine-1 -carboxylate is then reacted with 2,4-dimethylthiophenol, again in the presence of palladium catalyst and a phosphine ligand, to provide Boc-protected vortioxetine. In the final step, vortioxetine is deprotected using hydrochloric acid to give vortioxetine hydrochloride.

WO 2013/102573 A1 describes a reaction between 1 -halogen-2,4-dimethyl-phenyl, 2-halogen-thiophenol and an optionally protected piperazine in the presence of a base and a palladium catalyst consisting of a palladium source and a phosphine ligand.

Each of the above processes has disadvantages. The process described in WO 2003/029232 is low yielding and unsuitable for the large scale production of vortioxetine, whereas the processes described in WO 2007/144005 A1 , WO 2013/102573 A1 and by Bang-Andersen et al. require the use of expensive starting materials, palladium catalyst and phosphine ligand. In addition, the toxicity of palladium is well known, Liu et al. Toxicity of Palladium, Toxicology Letters, 4 (1979) 469-473, and the European Medicines Agency' s Guideline on the Specification for Residues of Metal Catalysts sets clear limits on the permitted daily exposure to palladium arising from palladium residue within drug substances, www.ema.europa.eu. Thus it would be desirable to avoid the use of a palladium catalyst in the synthesis of vortioxetine and the subsequent purification steps required to remove palladium residue from the final pharmaceutical product.

The invention is described below in further detail by embodiments, without being limited thereto.

A general concept of the process of the present invention may be represented in Scheme 1 .
