Preparation process of 4- {4 - [({[4-chloro-3- (trifluoromethyl) -phenyl] amino} carbonyl) amino] -3-fluorophenoxy} -N-methylpyridine-2-carboxamide, its salts and monohydrate

A process for preparing the monohydrate of the compound of formula (I) ** Formula ** by treating the compound of formula (IV) ** Formula ** with the compound of formula (V) ** Formula ** in a reaction mixture and subsequently the compound of the formula (I) dissolved with an acid is treated to form a salt of the compound of the formula (I) that precipitates in the solution containing the compound of the formula (I) dissolved and subsequently said salt of the compound of formula (I) is then treated with an aqueous basic solution to precipitate the monohydrate of the compound of formula (I).
