Process for the synthesis of antiepileptic drug lacosamide

摘要

The present invention relates to the improved and efficient process for the synthesis of antiepileptic drug Lacosamide in high enantiopurity (98% ee) and better yield. More particularly, the present invention relates to improved and efficient, cost effective process for synthesis of desired (R) isomer of Lacosamide starting from commercially available (S)-benzyl glycidyl ether.
