Reaction Steps

The present invention provides a process for preparation of Teriflunomide. Ethylacetoacetate (II) and 4-trifluoromethyl aniline (III) is refluxed in a solvent. The solvent is selected from aromatic hydrocarbon such as toluene, xylene, nitrobenzene, benzene and the like or mixtures thereof. The reaction mixture is refluxed for about 48 hours. The Reaction mixture is concentrated and purified by column chromatography to give pure 3-oxo-N-(4-trifluoromethylphenyl)butanamide (IV).
