-
, (2013/03/26)
The invention relates to a process for preparing 5-sulfonamido-benzofuran derivatives of general formula: formula (I) in which R represents an alkyl or aryl group and R1 and R2 represent hydrogen or an alkyl or aryl group. According to the invention, the compounds of formula I are prepared by coupling a benzofuran derivative of general formula II, where X represents chlorine, bromine or iodine or a sulfonate group: formula (II) with a sulfonamide derivative of formula R—SO2—NH2, in the presence of a basic agent and of a catalyst system formed from a complex between a palladium compound and a ligand.

The present invention provides several synthetic methods for preparing N-(2-butylbenzofuran-5-yl)-N-(methylsulfonyl)methanesulfonamide, a compound of formula (3), an intermediate in the preparation of Dronedarone. The present invention further provides a process for preparing Dronedarone, comprising the steps of converting 2-butyl-5-bis(methanesulfon)-amidobenzofuran of formula (3) to Dronedarone, wherein the 2-butyl-5-bis(methanesulfon)-amidobenzofuran of formula (3) is prepared by the processes of the present invention.
