Abstract
The present application provides an improved process for the preparation of sugammadex which comprises the halogenation of γ-cyclodextrin in a suitable organic solvent to give 6-per-deoxy-6-per-halo-γ-cyclodextrin, wherein halo is bromo or chloro, reacting the halogenated γ-cyclodextrin with 3-mercaptopropionic acid in the presence of alkoxide base to obtain sugammadex of formula I. This application also provides isolation of 6-per-deoxy-6-per-chloro-γ-cyclodextrin as a crystalline compound and its use for the preparation of sugammadex of formula (I).
