Statement under Article 19

This has the reference of PCT/IS A/220 with respect to PCT/IN2014/000637. Our comments on the basis of amendments are as under:

The current invention relates to process for preparation of a-crystalline form of Mirabegron reacting 4-nitrophenylethylamine or its acid addition salt with (i?)-mandelic acid in presence of a solvent and reagent, optionally in presence of base, and/or catalyst to obtain (i?)-2-hydroxy-N-[2- (4-nitrophenyl)ethyl]-2-phenylacetamide; reducing (i?)-2-hydroxy-N-[2-(4-nitrophenyl)ethyl]-2- phenylacetamide in presence of reducing agent and a solvent to obtain (i?)-2-[2'-(4- nitrophenyl)ethyl]amino]-l-phenylethanol, optionally converting it into its acid addition salt; reducing (i?j-2-[2'-(4-nitrophenyl)ethyl]amino]-l-phenylethanol or its acid addition salt in solvent to obtain (i?)-2-[[2-(4-aminophenyl)ethyl]-amino]-l-phenylethanol or its acid addition salt respectively; reacting compound (i?)-2-[[2-(4-aminophenyl)ethyl]-amino]-l-phenylethanol or its acid addition salt with 2-aminothiazole-4-yl-acetic acid in the presence of solvent, acid and a condensing agent, optionally in the presence of a catalyst to obtain Mirabegron; and Isolating a-crystalline form of Mirabegron of formula (I) obtained in step (d) by ia) adding first solvent to the reaction mass of step (d), iia)basifying the solution of step (ia) and optionally heating the reaction mixture, iiia) separating the organic layer, iva)extracting the aqueous layer with solvent, and combining the obtained organic layer with organic layer of step (iiia), va) washing the combined organic layer with aqueous base followed by water, separating the organic layer and optionally distilling the organic layer, and via)adding second solvent to organic layer of step (va) to obtain α-crystalline form of Mirabegron.

The inventive step of the present invention lies in the isolation of α-crystalline form of Mirabegron and avoiding neutralization of the mass at step (d) and eliminates the formation of β- crystal form. The present invention adds the first solvent after step (d) and then basify the reaction mass which avoids crystallization of β-crystal of Mirabegron as Mirabegron dissolved and remained in the organic layer, α-crystalline form of Mirabegron is obtained by distilling the organic solvent or by adding second solvent to the organic layer or by cooling organic layer. 72

Thus, we have clubbed claim 28 with claim 1 and now amended claim 1 clearly bring out inventive step as well as clearly states how the present invention directly yields a-form of Mirabegron. This eliminates need of conversion of β-form into a-form and results into direct isolation of a form thereby making the process simple and efficient. The present invention also does not require alpha form crystals for seeding thereby making the process robust. Therefore, claims 1 -45 are inventive.

The specification including examples 1-9 and amended claims clearly disclosed and demonstrated the present invention including the isolation of a-form of Mirabegron.

According to Sec. 6, we have deleted terms like "But not limited to"; "like" and "and the like" from claim nos. 2 to 4, 6 to 9, 12 to 15, 17 to 20, 22, 24 to 27, 29 to 31, 33 to 35, 37 to 41 and 43.

We have renumbered original claim nos 29 to 45 as claim nos 28 to 44. We have also amended dependancy of the claims 28 to 44 as required.
