BROMINATION PROCESS OF ERGOT ALKALOIDS

Abstract of the Disclosure The present invention provides a process for the production of a compound of formula I

I

wherein R1 is carboxyl, alkoxy(C1-5) carbonyl, amido, alkyl(C1-5)amido, di(alkyl(C1-5))amido or an amido radical of formula II

II

wherein Ra is alkyl(C1-4), Rb is alkyl(C1-4) or benzyl, and R2 is hydrogen or alkyl(C1-4), and either R3 is hydrogen and R4 is hydrogen or alkoxy(C1-4) or R3 and R4 together are a single bond, characterised in that a compound of formula III

III

wherein R1 to R4 are as defined above, is brominated with a bromine complex of 3-bromo-6-chloro-2-methyl-imidazo[1,2-b]pyridazine.

Description

28Q3~3 The present invention relates to brominating processes, especially for selectively brominating sensi-tive compounds such as ergot alkaloids, e.g. ~-ergocryp-tine.
It is known to brominate ~-ergocryptine with a mild brominating agent, e.g. N-bromosuccinimide, N-bromo-caprolactam, N-bromophthalamide and bromine/dioxane [see Swiss Patent No 507249]. It has also been recently proposed to brominate ~-ergocryptine using pyrrolidone-(2)-hydrotribromide or N-bromosaccharin in the presence of a radical lnitiator (German Offenlegungs-schrift 2752532).
The present invention provides an novel and advan-tageous process for the production of a compound of formula R ~

, ~128~38 This brominating agent may for example be prepared by reacting 3-bromo-6-chloro-2-methyl-imidazo[1,2-b]pyrida--zine or 6-chloro-2-methyl-imidazo~1,2-b]pyridazine with excess bromine. The product is believed to comprise 3-bromo-6-chloxo-2-methyl-imidazo[1,2-b]pyridazine dibromide of formula IV

~ C1 ~ ,~ ~ Br ~ 2 IV

The brominating agent possesses especialls~ advan-tageous properties. For example it is selective and does not lead to large amounts of side products; it is soluble in a wide range of organic solvents e.g. halogenated sol-vents and is stable in solution jt excess brominating agent may be easily destroyed and the brominated product can be easily separated from the reaction mixture. The brominating agent may be easily regenerated from 3-bromo-6-chloro-2-methyl-imidazo[l~2-b~pyridazine formed in the reaction.
In formulae I and III the side chain in the 8 posi-tion may have the ~ or preferably the ~ configuration. The brominating reaction proceeds stereospecifically in that epimerisation at the 8 position may be unexpec~edly minimal.
For the above mentioned ergot alkaloids, it is , .
r . : : .

_ 4 _ ~12`8~38 preferred to use a ratio of 1 mole of ergot alkaloid to 1.2 to 1.5 moles of brominating agent (based on structure IV). The brominating reaction is preferably effected using methylene chloride or another appropriate chlorinated alkane (Cl 3) as solvent. Suitable reaction temperatures are for example from about -10C to about 100C. At room temperature satisfactory yields may be surprisingly obtained, for example in a few minute 5 .
Any excess brominating agent in the reaction mix-ture may be deactivated by the addition, for example, ofacetone and ammonium hydroxide. The isolation of the bromi-nated product is then facilitated. Conventional isolation methods may be used, for examFle, liquid/liquid extraction and column chromatography, to obtaln the brominated pro-duct in pure form.
From the reaction mixture 3-bromo-6-chloro-2-methyl-imidazo[l,2-b3pyridazine may be isolated. This may be conver-ted back into the brominating agent by treatment with excess bromine in concentrated acetic acid.
The brominating ag~nt may be inltially produced by reacting 3-bromo-6-chloro-2-methyl-imidazo[1,2-b]pyridazine or 6-chloro-2-methyl-imidazo[1,2-b]pyridazine with excess bro~ine in concentrated acetic acid, and collecting the re-~ultant precipitate.
The bromination of 6-chloro-2-methyl-imidazo[1,2-b3 pyridazine has been described by Kohe et al Tetrahedron,2~, ~28~3~

239 (1968), but there is no indication therein that the bromine complex formed could be used as a brominating agent. 3-bromo-6-chloro-2-methyl-imidazo[1,2-b]pyridazine may be prepared as described in the above-mentioned Tetra-hedron article and may be brominated in analogous manner tothe bromination of 6-chloro-2-methyl-imidazo[1,2-b]pyri-dazine and the bromine complex purified in conventional manner. The yield of brominating agent may be conveniently increased by brominating any unreacted starting material in the bromine complex. The complex may be purified further by recrystallization from acetic acid, washing the crystals with ether and drying, e.g., at 30C in a vacuum.
The complex may contain further bromine over that represented by structure IV~ e.g., in the form of HBr.
In the following examples all temperatures are in degrees Centigrade and are uncorrected.
