An efficient process for the preparation of (1S)-4,5-dimethoxy-1- [(methylamino)methyl] benzocyclobutane (S)-3 as ivabradine intermediate, which was obtained in 56% yield, is described. The salient feature of this process is the racemization of the undesired (1R)-4,5-dimethoxy-1,2- dihydrocyclobutabenzene-1-carboxylic acid (R)-12, and the overall yield of (S)-12 was improved to 70% by three resolutions of the racemized acid with R-(α)-phenylethanamine. The reduction of amide (S)-13 was achieved with NaBH4-I2 in refluxing tetrahydrofuran, giving the corresponding amine (S)-3 in 90% yield. The improved synthetic route described herein is cost-efficient, environmentally friendly and feasibile for scale-up production.
