Abstract

A process for preparing (S)-(−)-N-[4-[4-[ethyl(6-fluoro-6-methylheptyl)amino]-1-hydroxy]phenyl]methanesulfonamide hemifumarate salt, which comprises reacting N-[4-[(2S)-tetrahydro-5-hydroxy-2-furanyl]phenyl]methanesulfonamide(IIa) with fluoroamine (III) in the presence of triacetoxyborohydride and ethyl acetate to provide [4-[-4-[ethyl(6-fluoro-6-methylheptyl)amino]-1-hydroxylphenyl]methanesulfonamide (I) and then converting I into the hemifumarate salt Ia. A process for preparing IIa is also claimed as well as intermediates IIa-IId.
