As per the process described in CN'932 publication, vilazodone is prepared by reacting 3-(4-chlorobutyryl)-1H-indole-5-carbonitrile with sodium borohydride in isopropanol at reflux temperature, followed by treating the reaction mass with dilute hydrochloric acid and subsequent workup and then subjecting to column chromatography purifications to produce 3-(4-hydroxybutyl)-1H-indole-5-carbonitrile. The hydroxylbutyl intermediate obtained is then subjected to sulfonylation using a sulfonylating agent selected from p-toluenesulfonyl chloride, benzenesulfonyl chloride, methanesulfonyl chloride and trifluoromethanesulfonyl chloride to produce corresponding sulfonylated intermediate, which is then condensed with 5-(1-piperazinyl)benzofuran-2-carboxamide in acetonitrile to produce vilazodone.
