RELATED APPLICATION
This application claims the benefit of Indian Provisional Application No. IN202221014978 filed on March 18, 2022, the contents of which are incorporated by reference herein.
FIELD OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to an industrial scale process for the preparation of crystallization of polymorphic form-I of Prothioconazole formula (I) in high yield and greater chemical purity.
I
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
Prothioconazole, 2- [2-(l -Chlorocyclopropyl) -3-(2-chlorophenyl) -2-hydroxypropyl] -2, 4-dihydro-3H-l, 2, 4-triazole-3-thione (I) is a broad spectrum anti-fungal agent of triazo linthione family and is used as a fungicide to treat infected crops, especially in cereals. Prothioconazole was exist into two different crystalline polymorphic forms, Crystal form-1 and Crystal form-II.
The PCT publication WO1996/16048A1 discloses the preparation of form-1 of Prothioconazole by reacting 2-(l-chloro-cyclopropyl)-l-(2-chlorophenyl)-3- (1,2,4- triazol-l-yl)-propan-2-ol with n-butyl lithium in presence of tetrahydro furan, n-hexane, sulfur powder, water, sulfuric acid, and ethyl acetate.
US patent no. 7,176,226 (henceforth '226) discloses the Crystal modification II (form- II) of Prothioconazole by reacting Crystal form-1 in presence of water, and/or aliphatic alcohol, and/or dialkyl ketones, and/or alkyl alkylcarboxylates.
US patent no. 9,290,461 (henceforth '461) discloses the crystalline DMSO solvate of Prothioconazole; amorphous Prothioconazole and process for their preparation.
The PCT publication WO2021/074739A1 discloses a process for preparation Prothioconazole, but it may result into mixture of crystalline form-I and form- II.
The prior publications disclose form-1 as metastable at room temperature and form-II is thermodynamically stable at room temperature. Different crystalline forms, amorphous form, crystalline solvate forms were commercially important as they possess different physico-chemical properties, which may be useful in different contexts. For example, crystalline forms are more stable than amorphous forms, which makes them useful for long-term storage of the solid material, whereas amorphous forms are often more readily soluble than crystalline forms and may thus be more useful for administration than crystalline forms for certain purposes.
Crystalline forms of Prothioconazole affects its physico-chemical properties, such as melting point, solubility, or dissolution rate. Thus, it is advantages to prepare crystalline forms (form-1 or form-II) having different range of lattice energies, which facilitate the effectiveness in treatment [e.g., agricultural (such as plant treatment), veterinary or medicinal treatment]. Thus, it will be an advantage to prepare an efficient method which result a more stable, single polymorphic form which will not transform into any other form specifically crystal form-II.
In prior art process, crystalline form may contain contamination or mixture of other polymorphic forms having different physico-chemical properties which may affect formulation or in final treatment. Therefore, there is a need for a process which prepare polymorphic form-1 of Prothioconazole with absence of other polymorphic forms, especially form-II and any other impurities. There is also a need for a robust process which result in crystalline form-1 with industrial friendly and economically viable manner. Thus, the inventors of instant application motivated to develop an industrial, robust process for polymorphic form-1 of Prothioconazole. The present invention involves a single isolation step using economical reagents, solvents; and results in high chemical yield and purity of polymorphic form-1 of Prothioconazole.
