Abstract: A process for preparation of eletriptan hydrobromide having ?-form of formula (I) is described that includes reducing 3-((R)-1-methylpyrrolidin-2-yl)methyl)-5-((E)-2-(phenylsulfonyl)vinyl)-1H-indole of formula (II) in presence of a metal catalyst to the product of formula (III) and then converting to hydrobromide salt having ?-form of formula (I).
