Patents Act 1990 COMPLETE SPECIFICATION STANDARD PATENT Invention Title: Improved oxidation process with enhanced safety and use thereof The following statement is a full description of this invention, including the best method of performing it known to us: 004853674 00 0 2 IMPROVED OXIDATION PROCESS WITH ENHANCED SAFETY AND USE t THEREOF Background of the invention Moxidectin (23-methoxime-LL-F-28249-a) is a potent endectocidal agent. An important step in the manufacture of moxidectin is the oxidation of the 5-O-protected-LL-F-28249a intermediate compound. Oxidizing agents which may be used in this manufacturing 00 step are disclosed in US 4,988,824 and US 6,762,327. In many instances, on a manufacturing scale, these oxidizing agents require large amounts of pyridine and a corrosive catalyst, such as dichloroacetic acid, or involve oxidizing agents, which on a manufacturing scale, may introduce unwanted risks. Further, as with all manufacturing processes, improvements in energy efficiency, in product yield and product purity are highly desirable.
This invention seeks to provide an improved oxidation process for the production of moxidectin, preferably which affords mild reaction conditions and high product yields.
The oxidation process of this invention may preferably utilize an oxidizing agent with enhanced safety.
Reference to any prior art in the specification is not, and should not be taken as, an acknowledgment, or any form of suggestion, that this prior art forms part of the common general knowledge in Australia or any other jurisdiction or that this prior art could reasonably be expected to be ascertained, understood and regarded as relevant by a person skilled in the art.
Summary of the invention The present invention provides an improved process for the selective oxidation of a O-protected-LL-F-28249-a compound of formula II 004853674 wherein R is a protecting group to the corresponding 23-keto compound of formula I
(I)
wherein R is as described for formula II which process comprises reacting said formula II compound with stabilised o-iodoxybenzoic acid, optionally in the presence of a solvent.
Also provided is the use of this oxidation process in the manufacture of moxidectin.
As used herein, the term "comprise" and variations of the term, such as "comprising", "comprises" and "comprised", are not intended to exclude other additives, components, integers or steps.
004853674 00 00 4 Detailed description of the invention Moxidectin is a potent broad-spectrum endectocide of the macrocyclic lactone antimicrobial class. The unique activity of moxidectin against endo- and ectoparasites in both humans and animals, along with its high margin of safety, has had a tremendous impact on the control of internal and external parasites in companion animals and livestock. Therefore, availability of this compound is highly desired. Moxidectin is the N 23-oxime derivative of LL-F28249-a. A process for the manufacture of moxidectin from 00 0 LL-F28249-a is disclosed in US 4,988,824. Said process includes an oxidation step CN wherein the oxidizing agents disclosed are conventional agents such as pyridinium dichromate, aluminum t-butoxide, o-benzoquinone, phophorous pentoxide, dicyclohexylcarbodiimide, manganese dioxide, acetic anhydride, dimethyl sulfoxide and the like or mixtures thereof. Another process, disclosed in US 6,762,327, uses a periodinane derivative. Some common difficulties encountered in using these reagents, such as long reaction times, difficult workup procedures, possible use of a large excess of the oxidizing agent, potential instability of oxidizing agent and the like, can be problematic on a commercial manufacturing scale.
Surprisingly, it has now been found that stabilised o-iodoxybenzoic acid may be used to selectively oxidize a 5-O-protected-LL-F28249-a compound to the corresponding 5-O-protected-23-ketone compound under mild reaction conditions, with high product yield and without the hazardous chemical properties generally associated with conventional oxidizing agents.
Accordingly, the present invention provides an improved process for the selective oxidation of a 5-O-protected-LL-F28249-a compound of formula II 004853674 (I0 wherein R is a protecting group to the corresponding 23-keto compound of formula I
(I)
wherein R is as described for formula II which process comprises reacting said formula II compound with stabilised o-iodoxybenzoic acid, optionally in the presence of a solvent. The reaction is shown in flow diagram I wherein R represents a protecting group.
