Description
PROCESSES FOR PREPARING PHARMACEUTICAL COMPOUNDS
FIELD OF THE INVENTION
The invention relates generally to processes for preparing nitrogen-disubstituted (N5N- disubstituted) aminotetralins. More specifically, the invention relates to processes for the preparation of enantiomerically enriched rotigotine and enantiomerically pure rotigotine as the free base or as a pharmaceutically acceptable acid addition salt.
BACKGROUND
Aminotetralins constitute an important class of biologically active compounds. For example, the aminotetralin drug rotigotine ((S)-6-(propyl(2-thiophen-2-yl)ethyl)amino)-5,6,7,8- tetrahydronaphthalen-1-ol) is a non-ergot (or non-ergotamine) dopamine agonist and is used for the treatment of Parkinson's disease. Rotigotine and related compounds have been synthesized by several routes.
U.S. Patent No. 4,410,519 describes the alkylation of aminotetralins depicted below where tertiary amine or an alkali metal carbonate or bicarbonate is used as the base and the reaction is heated in an inert solvent, hi this scheme, R is hydrogen or an acyl moiety; R2 is an alkyl group of 1 to 4 carbon atoms; A is an alkylene group of 1 to 5 carbon atoms; R3 is a variety of functional groups such as CN or N3, and Z is a leaving group.
EP 1232152 discloses the alkylation of aminotetralins depicted below. In this reaction, an alkali metal carbonate or bicarbonate is used as the base at a molar ratio of from 0.2 to 1.9 equivalents with respect to the starting 2-aminotetralin.
In the scheme, R1 is OA; R2 is H or OA; A is an alkyl group having 1 to 3 carbon atoms; R3 is selected from alkoxy and cycloalkoxy, optionally substituted with phenyl, 3-pyridyl, 4-pyridyl, and the following rings
where X is S, O or NH; R4 is an alkyl group having 1 to 3 carbon atoms; n is an integer from 1 to 5 and Z is a leaving group.
SUMMARY
In one aspect, the present invention provides improved processes of preparing N,N-disubstituted aminotetralins in good yield and with high chemical and enantiomeric purity. In particular, the processes produce enantiomerically enriched or enantiomerically pure rotigotine, as the free base or as a pharmaceutically acceptable acid addition salt.
Surprisingly, it has been discovered that preparation of N,N-disubstituted 2-aminotetralins by alkylation of enantiomerically enriched N-monosubstituted 2-aminotetralins with an arylsulfonate derivative of an alcohol may be efficiently carried out using the 2-aminotetralins as both reactant and base at the same time. Such reactions may be performed under conditions so that the N5N- disubstituted product remains in the filtrate, while unreacted starting material precipitates as the arylsulfonate salt and may be easily collected. The isolated salt is subsequently neutralized to liberate the unreacted starting aminotetralin for use in the next reaction. Also surprisingly, it has been discovered that by using the aminotetralin as reactant and base, only a 1-2.5 -fold molar excess, or preferably a 1.2-2.0-fold molar excess, of, for example, 2-(2-thienyl)ethanol arylsulfonate is needed for completion of the alkylation. Moreover, these reactions may be carried out at lower temperatures ranging from about 60 0C to about 120 0C, and preferably from about 80 0C to about 110 0C, in suitable solvents such as isobutyl acetate or isoamyl acetate.
Workup and purification of the N,N-disubstituted aminotetralins are simpler and more economical than prior art processes. The N,N-disubstituted aminotetralin product may be converted to a naphthalene-l,5-disulfonic acid salt in situ and precipitated from the filtrate in high yield and purity. By avoiding large excesses of the arylsulfonate alkylating agent and/or base, troublesome workups and extensive purification are avoided, leading to superior chemical and enantiomeric purity of the N,N-disubstituted aminotetralins.
DETAILED DESCRIPTION
Processes for the preparation of N,N-disubstituted aminotetralins, specifically, for the preparation of enantiomerically enriched or enantiomerically pure rotigotine as the free base or as pharmaceutically acceptable acid addition salt are provided herein. In one aspect, the processes include the step of:
a) reacting an enantiomerically enriched compound of Formula (I),
with 2-(2-thienyl)ethanol arylsulfonate of Formula (II),
(H)
to provide a compound of Formula (IV),
(IV)
wherein each R is independently selected from hydrogen or a methyl group. The reaction may be performed without added base because Formula (I) serves as both the reactant and the base at the same time. In some embodiments, the compound of Formula (II) can be 2-(2-thienyl)ethanol benzenesulfonate or 2-(2-thienyl)ethanol toluenesulfonate. The reaction is typically carried out in an organic solvent, heated to a temperature of from about 60 0C to about 120 0C, and preferably from about 800C to about 110 0C. Suitable solvents that may be heated to such temperatures include but are not limited to isopropyl acetate, isobutyl acetate, isoamyl acetate, toluene and xylene. Preferably, isobutyl acetate or isoamyl acetate are used. In some embodiments, the amount of the compound of Formula (II) is present at about 1 to about a 2.5-fold molar excess, preferably from about a 1.2 to about a 2.0-fold molar excess with respect to the amount the compound of Formula (I).
Advantageously, unreacted starting aminotetralin precipitates from the reaction mixture as the salt of Formula (III):
(III)
Thus, the present processes may further comprise the following step:
b) filtering the reaction mixture to isolate the precipitate comprising the salt having Formula (III). The filtrate will therefore comprise the product, the compound of Formula (IV).
The present processes may further comprise the following step:
c) contacting the salt having Formula (III) with a suitable base to convert it to the compound of Formula (II). Suitable bases are well known in the art and include, for example, alkali metal hydroxides, carbonates. For example, 10% aqueous NaOH may be used to neutralize the salt and allow the compound of Formula (II) to be extracted into an organic solvent such as dichloromethane or the like.
The present processes may further comprise the following step:
d) treating the filtrate containing the compound of Formula (IV) with 1,5-naphthalenedisulfonic acid or its hydrates, to give the enantiomerically enriched or enantiomerically pure salt having Formula (V),
(V)
wherein R is as defined above. The salt having Formula (V) is a useful intermediate in the synthesis allowing ready purification of the N,N-disubstituted aminotetralin by crystallization, and avoiding the use of chromatography.
Treatment of the filtrate is optionally conducted with the addition of an organic solvent, such as acetone, methanol or isopropanol. Optionally, the salt having Formula (V) is recrystallized.
The processes for preparing N,N-disubstituted aminotetralins may further include the following step:
e) contacting the salt of Formula (V) with a suitable base to provide the enantiomerically enriched or enantiomerically pure compound of Formula (IV). Suitable bases for salt neutralization are well known in the art and include for example, alkali metal hydroxides and carbonates.
The free base from step (e) may be converted to a pharmaceutically acceptable salt. Thus, processes of the invention may further include.
f) contacting the enantiomerically enriched or enantiomerically pure compound of Formula (FV) from step (e) with a pharmaceutically acceptable acid and isolating the resulting salt. In some embodiments, the salt is the hydrochloride salt having Formula (VI):
(VI)
wherein R is as defined above.
The synthetic processes described herein possess several advantages over prior art procedures. First, the present methods avoid the use of a large excess of alkylation agent, which is commonly greater than three-fold molar excess with respect to the starting 2-aminotetralins. Not only is this cheaper and more efficient, but extensive purification of the final product is avoided, thus simplifying the procedure. Second, the present methods avoid the use of temperatures higher than 120 0C for prolonged periods of time and thus avoid increased amounts of impurities that are problematic to remove from the final product. Finally, the unreacted starting material is readily recovered in a salt form that simplifies workups and subsequent purification of the product, which remains in the filtrate after the reaction.
Thus, one embodiment of the processes of the invention may be represented as in Scheme I.
Scheme I
Definitions of terms used herein are provided below.
By the use of the term enantiomerically enriched it is meant that the enantiomeric excess (ee) is greater than 80%. In some embodiments greater than 90% or greater than 95%.
By use of the term enantiomerically pure it is meant that the enantiomeric excess (ee) is greater than 98%, ideally greater than 99% and ideally enantiomerically pure means greater than 99.5%.
Pharmaceutically acceptable salts of the invention compounds are considered within the scope of the present invention.
