ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE

A process for the preparation of 5-(2-chlorobenzyl)-4,5,6 7-tetrahydrothien?[3,2-c]pyridine, wherein N-(2-thienylethyl)-N-hydroxymethyl-N-(2-chlorobenzyl) amine obtained from N-(2-thienylethyl)-N-(2-chlorobenzyl)amine and formaldehyde is submitted to cyclization.

Description

Il 1~f~8539
- 2 -Subject of this in~ention i8 a new process for the preparation of 5-(2-chlorobenzyl)-4,5,6,7-tetrahydrothieno-¦ fi, 2- ~ pyridine, of the fo~mula (I) I /\, /=\
Q ~ ~2 ~ (I) This compound involves a great pharmacological and clinical interest due to it8 anti-inflammatory, ~asodilatatory and pla-telet aggregation inhibiting activity. See, to this purpose~
Eur.J.Med. Chem.-Chimica Therapeutica, September-October 1974, 9 , n5, pag. 487-490.
Compound (I) can be prepared in different ways either by reduction of 5-(2-chlorobenzyl)-thieno r,2-~ -pyridinium chloride (DOS 2404308)~ or by preliminary synthesis of the N-un~ub~tituted tetrahydro-4,5,6,7-thieno ~?-~ pyridine ring ~ollowed by the reaction with 2-chlorobenzyl chloride (Eur.J. ~ ; -~ed. Chem-Chimica ~herapeutica, September-October 1974, 9 , n5, pag. 483-486). Alte~natively, the latter paper also de-scribes the acylation of tetrahydro-4,5,6,7-thieno~3,?-c~-p~
ridine with 2-chlorobenzyl ahloride, and the following reduc- -tion of th8 CO to CH2 group by ~iAlH4.
None of the proce~s described is satisfactory in practise~
both be¢au6e of the poor yields and the cost of the reagents -used in the steps nece~sary for each synthetic pathway.
It has been fou~d now that compound (I) can be obtained in a completely sa~isfying way, eYen on an industrial scale, by cyclization of N-(2-thienylethyl)-N-(2-chlorobenzyl)-amine lV~8539 ¦(II) with formaldehyde, accordingly to the schema:

Cll2-C~I~-N~1-C~i2 ~ ~ (I) l (II) -¦ The ~tarting product of this reaction (which is characteriz d ¦with high yields) can be obtained in turn through two differen ¦ways of synthesi~, which offer no ~pecial di~ficulty.According ¦to the fir~t method, 2-chlorobenæylamine i~ acylated with 2-¦thienyl-acetic acid chloride~ and amide (III) 80 obtained is ¦reduced to amine (II~ by PC15 and NaBH4:

-COCl + H2N-CH2~ ~.

CH2-CO-NH-CH2 ~ ~ (II) Cl Alternatively a derivative of 2-thienylacetic acid (e.g.
either the ester according to the method of Bouveault-Blanc~

or the chloride with ~iAlH4, or the ester with NaBH4/ A1~13 too) can ~e reduced to 2-thienyl-ethanol. ~his latter compound is reaoted a9 the tosylate~ directly affording the amine (II) together with 2-chlorobenzylamine 1 10~8539 1) To~ylchloride ¦ ~ 2~ 2-chlorobenzylamine ¦ ~ ~ CH2-CH20H ~ (II3 The reaction of the amine (II), whenever obtained~ with formaldehyde, in the pre~ence of anhydrou~ HCl, preferably in ~.

The organic layer was dried on MgSO4, then filtered and concentrated to approx. 500 ml "in vacuo". After dllution with 400 ml of n-pentane, the reaction was left for one hour at 0, and the crystalline product was subsequently filtered: yield 200 g, m.p. 104-105C. The analytical data agreed with the values calculated; the compound was shown to be unitary by thin-layer chromatography.

106 g (0.4 mole) of the amide as previously described, dissolved in 500 ml of CHC13, were treated wlth 104 g (0.5 mole) of PC15 and refluxed for 5'. The mixture was cooled to QC, 46 g (1.2 mole) of NaBH4, suspended in 500 ml of absolute ethanol, were added during 15' with stirring, keeping the temperature between 0C and 5C. After heating to 60 for 10' and cooling to 0-5C a solution of 100 g of Na2CO3 in a liter of water was slowly added under stirring and external cooling with an ice bath. The reacting mixture was repeatedly extracted with CH2C12 and the combined extracts were evaporated. The residue was taken up with 300 ml of conc. HCl and 300 ml of water, then 300 ml of diisopropyl ether were added and the mixture stirred for 10'.
