The process as shown above comprises conversion of 2-methyl-3-nitro phenyl acetic acid (II) with thionyl chloride to 2-Methyl-3-nitro-phenylacetyl chloride (III), which upon reaction with Di-n-propyl amine (DPA) gives 2-Methyl-3-nitro phenyl-N,N-di-n-propyl acetamide (IV) in syrup form. This intermediate (IV) is further reduced with Borane/THF and subsequent treatment with HCl/NaOH to give 2-Methyl-3-nitro phenyl ethyl-N,N-di-n-propyl amine (V). Further, compound (V) is treated with Na metal, Ethanol and diethyl oxalate to obtain Ethyl 6-(2-di-n-propylaminoethyl)-2-nitrophenyl pyruvate (VI), which is further treated with hydrogen peroxide , NaOH and HCl and converted to 6-(2-Di-n-propylaminoethyl)-2-nitro phenyl acetic acid hydrochloride (VII). This intermediate is reduced with palladium/carbon to give Ropinirole hydrochloride (Ia).
