Abstract

ABSTRACT

A new process for the preparation of N-[2-[[[5-(dimethyl-amino)-methyl-2-furanyl]methyl]thio]ethyl]-N'-methyl-2-nitro-1,1-ethenediamine (ranitidine) of the formula an its phsiologically acceptable acid addition salts is described, wherein 2-[[[5-(dimethylamino)methyl-2-furanyl]-methyl]thio]ethane-amine of the formula is reacted with 1-nitro-3-methyl-keteneimine of the formula CH3N=C=CHNO2 to give the desired compound. 1-nitro-3-methyl-keteneimine is formed in situ by reacting 1-methylthio-1-methylamino-2-nitroethane of the formula in a polar organic solvent, such as methanol or acetonitrile, with a salt of a heavy metal, such as AgNO3, CuCl, dissolved in the same solvent, in the presence of a proton acceptor, such as tri-ethylamine, at room temperature.
Ranitidine is a valuable medicine in the treatment of ulcer diseases. Owing to a very simple course of the reaction and an extrodinary short reaction time, the process is excellently suitable for the industrial scale production.

A PROCESS FOR THE PREPARATION OF N-[2-[Lr5-~DIM~THYL~MINO)~METHYL-
2-FURANY~ METHYL~ THIO]ETHYL]-N'~METHYL-2--NITRO~1, 1-ETHENEDIAMINE

The present invention relates to a new process for the preparation of N-~2-[[[5-(dimethylamino)-methyl~2~furanyl~ -methyl]
thio~ ethyl]-N'-methyl~2-nitro~ ethenediamine of the formula
3)2NCH2 ~ / ~ ,, CH2scH2cH2NHcNHcH3 and physiologically acceptable acicl addition salts thereof, such as hydrochloride, hydrobromide. The compouncl is known under the generic name ranitidine~ Ranitidine was first described in the German Publication 27 34 070 as a selective H2-antagonist, i.e. a compound which inhibits the secretion of gastric acidr which is stimulated by the histamine-H2-receptors. Ranitidine represents, preferably in the form of its hydrochloride, a valuable medicine for the treatment of ulcer diseases.
The above stated German Publication also describes several methods for the synthesis of ranitidine. In the most advantageous synthesis as starting compound there was used 5-(N,N-dimethylamino)-methyl-2-hydroxy-methylfuran of the formula (CH3)2NCH2 \ ~ ~ / CH2 1~1 a known compound which can be obtained in good yield (70%)from 2-furan-methanol (furfuryl alcohol) by means of Mannich's reaction in the manner described by Gill and Ing., J. Chem. Soc. 4728-4731 (195~).

~; 1 ~ .~

5-(N,N-dimethylamino~methyl-2-hydroxy-methylfuran was then reacted with cysteamine hydrochloride to 2-L[[5~dimethylamino)-methyl-2-furany~ methyl~ thio] ethaneamine (Example A of the stated German Publication, yield 54%) of the formula ( 3)2 2 ~ \ ,-CH2SCH2CH2NH2 which is a valuable intermediate in the synthesis of ranitidine.
1~ This intermediate can then`~e reacted with l-methyl-thio-l-methyl-amino-2-nitroet~lene of t~le formula CH3S-C-N~IC~I
to give ranitidine (Example 15 of the mentioned German publication?~
On the other hand the intermecliate compo~d can also be first reacted with l,l-bis(methyl~hio)-2-nitroethene of the formula ~CH3S)2C=C~INO2 to give N-[2-[l[5-(dimethylamino)methyl-2-furanyl~ methyl~ thi~ ethy~
-N'-methyl-thiourea, which is then reacted with methylamine to the desired compound.
The disadvantages of the prior art processes are the necessity to use an expensive chemical (cysteamine hydrochloride) in the step of the preparation of the intermediate compound as well as poor yields in this step. In the last step of the reaction of the intermediate compound to give ranitidine, the toxic, malodorous and polluting methyl mercaptan is formed. Additionally, the re-action takes up quite a long period of time~
A more recent German Publication 31 00 364 describes the substitution or less expensive 2-chloroethylamine hydrochloride or ethyleneimine for the expensive cysteamine as the key compound in the synthesis of ranitidine. In this reaction, however, the ~ ~ 7~

starting compound 5~(N,N-dimethylamino~methyl-2-hyd.roxymethylfuran must first be reacted to the corresponding thiol, which is one o~
the key intermediates, thus rendering the synthesis longer hy two additional steps.
The key reaction, i.e. the reactioll between the two inter-mediate compounds 5-(N,M-dimethylamino)methyl-2-thiomethylfuran in the form of its salt with oxalic acid and l-(2~chloroethyl)amino-l-methylamino-2-nitroethene is extremely long.
The o~ject of the present invention is to provide a process for the preparation of ranitidine in good yields w.ithin very short times, thereby saving energy, using, instead of the expensive cysteamine hydrochloride, the low-priced and readily available 2-mercapto-e~hanol, which is even less expensive than 2-chloro~ethylamine hydrochloride, carrying out the key reaction at room temperature and avoiding the formation of the toxic methyl mercaptan.
This object can be achievecl by the process of the invention, wherein 2- [~[5-(dimethylamino)methyl-2-furany~ methyl] thio]-ethane-amine, prepared according to the process which is described in our co-pending Canadian Patent ~pplication 429,776 (corresponding to Yugoslavian application P 2607/82 of November 22, 1982), is reacted with the extremely reactive l-nitro 3-methyl-keteneimine (N-methyl-nitroketeneimine) o~ khe formula CH N=C-CHNO

which is a new compound and has not yet been described in literature, to give ranitidine.
~ method for eliminating methyl mercaptan from N-substi-tuted N'-cyano-S-me!thyl-isothioureas to yiPld guanidine derivatives is known from literature [A.F. Ferris and B.A. Schultz, J. Org. Chem.
26 (1963), 71-74; C.G. McCarty et al, J. Org. Chem. 35 (1970), 2067-2069~ . The reaction proceeds via extremely reactive inter-mediate compounds, N-cyanocarbodiimides, which are formed in situ.

:. `

Said compounds, however, are not stable, hence they cannot be isolated and they are difficult to characterize.
A similar reaction of elimination of methyl mercaptan from l-methylthio-l-methylamino~2-nitroethene of the formula CHNO
" 2 whereat there is formed-in- situ the intermediate, extremely reactive ~ . _.
new l-nitro-3-methyl-keteneimine (N-methylnitroketeneimine) of the formula CH3M=C=C~N02 has not yet been described in literature neither i5 known such a method for the synthesis of keteneimiIles. Such a course of react.~on~ however, was surprisin~ly found in the process of the invention.
The key step of the new inventive procese for the synthesis of ranitidine is the reaction between 2-[[[5-(dimethylamino)methyl-2-furany~ methyl]thio~ethaneamine and 1-nitro-3-methyl-keteneimine formed _ situ. The latter compound is formed in that to a solu-tion of a salt of a heavy metal, such as AgN03, CuC12, Cucl, HgC12, ZnC12 etc., as a catalyst in an organic solvent, such a methanol or acetonitrile, there is added a solution of l-methylthio~l-methyl-2a amino-2-nitroethene and triethylamine in the same solvent at room temperature, Triethylamine is used as a proton acceptor. The metal mercaptide, which quantita~ively separates at once, is filtered off.
In this way there is avoided the polution by the toxic methyl mercaptan.
The reaction proceeds extremely rapidly, within a few minutes, at room temperature to give ranitidine. For a good yield of the synthesis and for a swift course of the reaction the succes-sion of the addition of the reactants as shown in the Examples is of import~nce.

1-nitro-3-methyl~keteneimine, formed 'n SitU, can be detected by the IR spectrum oE the reaction mixture which shows an absorption at 217Q cm l~ which is characteristic ~or the ketene-imine ~C=C=N-l a~sorption range (2200-2050 cm l~, The formation of 1-nitro-3~methyl-ket2neimine can indirec-tly be detected by means of a separate reactiorl with a lower alcohol, such as methanol. Thereby ~he new crystalline l-methoxy-l-methylamino-2-nitroethene is formed;

CH3N=C=CHNO2 _~ 3 \ C-CHNO
