ABSTRACT

PRODUCTION OF IMIDAZOLES

A new process is described for the production of 4-methyl-5-imidazoles, particularly Cimetidine of the for-mula by the following series of reactions wherein Alk1 preferably is -CH2-CH2- and Alk2 preferably CH3.
The process is unexpectedly carried out in extremely good yields.

Description

! ~
~he ~res~nt -invention relates to ~ proces~ For tile pro~u(tic)n o~
4~ ethyl-5-alkylthiomethylimidazoles.
In British Patent Specification No. 1,533,380 a process is descri~ed, according to which compounds, e.g., of the following formula Het-Cll2-S~c~~l2cll2~Nl~l C NHR
i are produced, wherein Elet is a heterocyclic group, e.g., an j imidazole group, E is S or NCN, and R is H or lower alkyl, by letting a compound of the formula Het-CE12Z
where Het is defined as hereinbefore, and Z is a leaving group i react with a mercaptan of the formula Hs~cEl2cH2-NH-c~ NHRl wherein Rlis defined as hereinbefore~
Spanish Patent Specification No. 463,839 describes the preparation of Cimetidine, N-cyano-N'-methyl-N"-[2-[(4-methyl-5-imidazolyl)methylthio]-ethyl]guanidine by treating 4-methyl-5-hydroxymethylimidazole with thiourea followed by reaction with N-cyano-N'-methyl-N"-(2-hydroxyethyl)guanidiile.
German published Specification No. 2,211,454 describes the preparation of, e.g., Cimetidine by letting Het-cH2-Q
wherein ~ is a leaving group, and Het is a 4-methyl-5-imida-zolyl group, react with IlSCH2CE12Nii2 to form llet-CH2SCE12CE12NE12 wllich is subsequently treated with R3Z C ~NR21 to give, e.g., Cimetidine when R is C113, R is CN, R is alkyl or aryl and Z is S.

~ L9903~ 2 It is known that the starting materials, i.e. substituted imidazoles, for these and other known methods are not easy to obtain, and the present method consequently employs a totally different approach both with regard to starting materials and reaction pathway.

In the process according to the present invention, the starting material consists of a compound CH C-CCH X (I) B
Wherein one of the substituents A and B is NOH and the other is O or NGH. X is a suitable leaving group, e.g., halogen or OZ, wherein Z is a hydrogen atom, or, e.g., an acyl or a tosyl group, or X is NR3, where R is alkyl; the preferential starting materials being the easily available halogen compounds, e.g., l-bromo-3-oximino-2-butanone and 4-chloro-3-oximino-2-butanone.
Compound I is treated, in a first step, with 1 ~NCN
HSAlk NH-C 2 (II~
\ NHAlk preferably under cold conditions in the presence of a strong base, such as sodium ethoxide, to give ~NCN
3 2Alk 2 (III) ~ \ NHAlk A B
wherein Alk1 is an alkylene group and Alk2 is an alkyl group having 1-4 carbon atoms.

Compounds (III) are new and constitute a further aspect of the invention.

In a second step, the compound III is ring-closed by treat-ment with formaldehyde or a formaldehyde donor, e.g. para-formaldehyde, or mixtures of formaldehyde and/or formalde-hyde donors and ammonia or ammonia donors, e.g., ammonium acetate, or reagents with the formula YN = CH2 ~1~9~

wherein Y is HO or, preferentially, aralkyl, although other groups may also be suitable~ to give an imidazole N-oxide IV or V

- o N CH2scH2cH2NH-c95 (IV) N ~ CH3 ~N ~ CH ScH2cH2NH-c~NHcH (V) _O

~hereY isas hereinbeforedefined or H. When Y is H, the com-pounds may consist of a mixture of two tautomers, e.g., an N-oxide and the corresponding N-hydroxy tautomer.

The compound IV or V is subsequently selectively reduced, if Y is other than H or OH, to reduce the Y group to H and finally deoxygenated to give the desired product </ ~ ~NCN
NH H SAlk -NH-C 2 which, in the preferred use of Alk1 = C2H4 and Alk2 = CH3, is Cimetidine. The deoxygenation may also take place before the reduction.

Compounds III were previously unknown, and since they contain a multitude of reactive sites, it is both unexpected and sur-prising that they can be transformed to imidazole N-oxides in good yields. It is particularly surprising that the N-cyano-guanidine moiety could sustain the treatment with the reagents necessary for the ring-closure, and furthermore, according to Zeitschrift fur Chemie, 10 (1970~,211-215, 2-unsubstituted imidazole N-oxides cannot be isolated under reaction conditions analogous to those used in the present invention.

The selective reduction of IV and V was unforeseeable and quite surprising; a priori, it was to be expected that the benzylic type C-S bond would be the one most easily reduced by known methods.

Neither was it foreseeable that the deoxyyenation of compounds IV and V could be undertaken, due to the number of other reactive sites which are open for attack by known deoxygenation rea~ents, and the use of these also led to unsatisfactory results. Sur-prisingly, it was found that trialkylamine~sulphurdioxide com-plexes, e.g., (CH3)3N-S02, or formamidinosulphinicacid gave the desired product in good yield; the resulting sulphurtrioxide or sulphonicacid would have been expected to give unwarranted side reactions, cf. Synthesis,(1979),36.

The following examples are illustrative of the present in-vention.
