Provided herein is a novel process for the preparation of phenylcyclopropylamine derivatives, which are useful intermediates in the preparation of triazolo[4,5-d]pyrimidine compounds. Provided particularly herein is a novel, commercially viable and industrially advantageous process for the preparation of a substantially pure ticagrelor intermediate, trans-(1R,2S)-2-(3,4-difluorophenyl)-cyclopropylamine. The intermediate is useful for preparing ticagrelor, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, in high yield and purity. |
