A NEW METHOD FOR THE PREPARATION OF CINACALCET AND NEW INTERMEDIATES THEREOF

摘要

A method for the preparation of Cinacalcet is disclosed comprising treating (R)-1-naphthyl ethylamine with an aromatic aldehyde to form (1R)-1-(2-naphthyl)-N-(aryl methylene)ethanamine derivative of Formula (IV), which is further treated with 1-(3-halopropyl)-3-(trifluoromethyl)benzene of Formula (V) to obtain an iminium salt of Formula (VI), followed by hydrolysis to obtain Cinacalcet free base.
