USPTO Abstract
Disclosed is a novel process for the synthesis of tofacitinib citrate on an industrial scale with high yields and purity starting with cis-(1-benzyl-4-methyl-piperidin-3-yl)methylamine bis-hydrochloride racemate (intermediate VIII), which comprises: 1. Condensation between intermediates VII and VIII to give intermediate VI 2. Hydrogenation of intermediate VI to give intermediate V 3. Resolution of intermediate V to give intermediate IV with enantiomeric purity >99% 4. Release of intermediate IV in a basic medium to give intermediate III 5. N-acylation reaction of intermediate III to give II (tofacitinib) 6. Salification of intermediate II to give tofacitinib monocitrate (I)
