Description
WO 2007/116284 PCT/IB2007/000882 PROCESS FOR PREPARING LINEZOLID FIELD OF INVENTION 5 The present invention relates to a novel process to prepare an oxazolidinone antibacterial agent. Particularly, the present invention relates to a novel process to prepare linezolid. BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION Antibacterial resistance is a global clinical and public health problem that has 10 emerged with alarming rapidity in recent years and undoubtedly will increase in the near future. Resistance is a problem in the community as well as in health care settings, where transmission of bacteria is greatly amplified. Because multiple drug resistance is a growing problem, physicians are now confronted with infections for which there is no effective therapy, As a result, structurally novel antibacterial agents with a new mode of action have 15 become increasingly important in the treatment of bacterial infections. Among newer antibacterial agents, linezolid is a recent synthetic class of antimicrobials active against a number of pathogenic microorganisms. Linezolid [(S)-N-[[3 [3-fluoro-4-(4-morpholinyl)phenyl]-2-oxo-5-oxazolidinyl]methyl]acetamide] is disclosed in U.S. Patent No. 5,688,792. It is marketed in the United States by Pfizer, Inc. as an injection, 20 tablets, and oral suspensions under the name ZYVOX@. Processes for preparation of linezolid are described in U.S. Patent No. 5,688,792, U.S. Patent No. 5,837, 870, PCT publication WO 99/24393, PCT publication WO 2006/004922, J. Med. Chem. 39(3), 673 679, 1996 and Tetrahedron Lett., 40(26), 4855, 1999. We have discovered and developed a novel process to prepare linezolid. The process 25 has the potential to significantly lower the cost of commercial production of linezolid. It is a highly convergent three-step process with a much shorter cycle time. It is environmentally friendly because it reduces the large solvent volumes used in the currently known processes. We also discovered rapidly crystallized key intermediates for the process of the present invention. 30 INFORMATION DISCLOSURE US 4,150,029, 4,250,318, 4,476,136, 4,340,606 and 4,461,773 disclose the synthesis of 5-hydroxymethyloxazolidinones from amines. J. Med. Chen., 32, 1673 (1989), Tetrahedron 45, 1323 (1989) and US Patent 4,948,801 disclose a method of producing oxazolidinones. 35 PCT Publications W093/09103, W093/09103, W095/07271 and W093/23384; PCT applications PCT/US95/12751 and PCTIUS95/10992 disclose the reaction of a WO 2007/116284 PCT/IB2007/000882 2 carbamate with n-butyllithium, lithium diisopropylamide or lithium hexamethyldisilazide. International Publication W095/07271 discloses the ammonolysis of 5R methylsulfonyloxymethyl substituted oxazolidinones. US Patent 4,476,136 discloses a method of transforming 5-hydroxymethyl substituted 5 oxazolidinones to the corresponding 5(S)-aminomethyl substituted oxazolidinones. US patent 5,332,754 discloses racemic oxazolidinone-CH 2 -NH-Ac can be synthesized in one step by condensation of a carbamate with racemic glycidyl acetamide. US patent 3,654,298 discloses the synthesis of 5-alkoxymethyl-3-aryl-substituted oxazolidinones by sodium ethoxide induced cyclization of chlorocarbamates. 10 SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention provide a process to prepare linezolid F 0 o N N N 0 Linezolid 15 which comprises: a) reacting a compound of structure (1) HO Ci N X (1) 20 wherein X is chlorophenyl, bromophenyl, or 2,4-dichlorophenyl; with a compound of structure (2) F 0 0 N \ N O-R (2) at a temperature in a range from ambient temperature to about 65*C, wherein R is benzyl or 25 C 1 .salkyl to provide a compound of structure (3); 0 O-NN)NNX N x (3) where X is chlorophenyl, bromophenyl, or 2,4-dichlorophenyl; WO 2007/116284 PCT/IB2007/000882 3 b) hydrolyzing the compound of structure (3) and subsequent acylation to provide linezolid. Other aspects of the present invention are the compounds of structures (1) and (3) as shown above, their crystal structures, and their methods of crystallizations. 5 DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION Unless otherwise stated, the following terms used in the specification and claims have the meanings given below: The carbon atom content of various hydrocarbon-containing moieties is indicated by 10 a prefix designating the minimum and maximum number of carbon atoms in the moiety, i.e., the prefix Cig. indicates a moiety of the integer "i" to the integer "j" carbon atoms, inclusive. Thus, for example, C 1
.
8 alkyl refers to alkyl of one to eight carbon atoms, inclusive. The term alkyl refers to both straight and branched groups, but reference to an individual radical such as "propyl" embraces only the straight chain radical, a branched chain 15 isomer such as "isopropyl" being specifically referred to. Specifically, alkyl is Cp 4 alkyl. More specifically, alkyl is tert-butyl. The term "ambient temperature" refers to a temperature in a range from about 20 'C to 30 0 C. SCHEME I 20 0' OH K...N00 C+ N O.R N, X +N O (1 ) H F N O N O JNH2 Unezolid NH HC1 0 As shown in Scheme I (wherein X and R are defined above), the synthesis begins with coupling the substituted imine moiety (1) (preferably 1 to 3 eq, most preferably 1.5 to 2 eq) with a carbamate (2) to provide the corresponding (S)-oxazolidinone imine (3). The 25 reaction is carried out preferably at a temperature in a range from ambient temperature to about 654C in the presence of a base with pKa greater than 12, preferably a tertiary alkoxide base, most preferably lithium t-butoxide and an aprotic non-nucleophilic solvent (preferably WO 2007/116284 PCT/IB2007/000882 4 DMF, DMAc, THF, Acetonitrile, CI.
6 linear, branched and cyclic ethers and/ or chlorinated solvents and/ or mixtures of these solvents, most preferably MTBE or methylene chloride). Most preferably, the temperature is from about 30-60 *C and the reaction time is 2 to 24 hours. Preferably, the (S)-oxazolidinone imine (2), after an aqueous extractive workup, is 5 crystallized and isolated by filtration from a weakly polar organic solvent, such as an alcohol (including CI.
6 branched and linear alcohols and polyols) or ether (including MTBE, THF, and other CI- 6 linear, branched and cyclic ethers); most preferably isopropanol. Hydrolysis of compound (3) with an aqueous acidic solution and subsequent acylation provides crude linezolid. Compound (3) is best hydrolyzed with a mixture of water and a strong acid such as 10 hydrochloric acid and the substituted benzaldehyde byproduct removed by extraction with a water immiscible organic solvent (preferably toluene, MTBE, methylene chloride and ethyl acetate), most preferably ethyl acetate. The resulting aqueous solution of Amine hydrochloride (4) is preferably acylated with acetic anhydride, preferably in the presence of water and a water immiscible organic solvent (most preferably methylene chloride). The 15 conversion of Amine hydrochloride (4) to linezolid is well known in the literature (Brickner, S.; et. al. J. Med. Chem. 1996 39 (3) 673-679, US Patent 5,837,870, US 5,688,792). SCHEME 11 0O OH + X -+ Cl N X H 20 As shown in Scheme 11 (wherein X is defined above), the key strating material (1) can be prepared by reacting (S)-epichlorohydrin with a mixture of the appropriately substituted benzaldehyde derivative (preferably 0.5 to 2 eq, most preferably 1 eq) and aqueous ammonia (preferably 0.5 to 3 eq, most preferably 1.5 eq). The reaction is best 25 performed in both protic and aprotic non-nucleophilic and non-electrophilic solvents such as alcohols (including C 16 branched and linear alcohols and polyols), ethers (including MTBE, THF, and other C 1
.
6 linear, branched and cyclic ethers) as well as chlorinated solvents such as methylene chloride. MTBE is a preferred solvent. Temperatures can be in a range from about 15 to about 60 *C are preferred, preferably between 30 to 50 'C most preferred. After 30 extractive isolation and concentration, the imine moiety (1) is obtained. It is then crystallized from a second liquid phase, in the presence of non-polar aprotic hydrocarbon solvents such as, but not limited to, alkanes, mixtures of alkanes (hexane, heptane, octane, isooctane and commercially available alkane mixtures), optionally in the presence of aprotic polar solvents, preferably ethereal solvents such as MTBE or aromatic solvents such as toluene or 35 chlorinated solvents such as methylene chloride or mixtures thereof. Preferred solvents are a WO 2007/116284 PCT/IB2007/000882 5 mixture of MTBE and heptane or a mixture of toluene and heptane. The crystallization process can be conducted in a temperature in a range from ambient temperature (about 18-25 *C) to about 55 'C, preferably in a range of 30 to 50 *C, more preferably in a range of 38 to 45 *C. This crystallization provides surprisingly high yield and with significantly improved 5 enantiomeric purity after isolation by filtration.
