Abstract

ABSTRACT
Process for the Preparation of a Furan Derivative Ranitidine is prepared by treating the compound (II)

Description

~3~

Proces__For the Preparation of a furan derivative _ _ .

This invention relates to a process for the preparation of a furan derivative.
The furan derivative of formula (I) t~
/~ 1CI~Nn2 (I) Me2NCH2 0 CH2SC~2CH2NHCNHMe which is known as ranitidine is disclosed in ~ritish Patent Specification No. 1565966 as a potent and selective H2- antagonist.
lOThe present invention provides a novel and useFul process for the preparation of ranitidine of formula (I) which comprises treating a compound oF formula (II) 15RHNCH2 CH2SCH2CH2NHCNHMe (II) in which R represents a hydrogen atom or a methyl qroup with a methylating agent. Suitable methylating agents include methyl halides such as methyl bromide or methyl iodide, di~ethylsulphate or Methyl sulphonic esters such as methyl methanesulphonate or methyl p-toluene-sulphonate.
The reaction may optionally be carried out in the presence of a base or a salt such as an alkali metal methy1sulphinylmethide.
- 2 - ~ ~37~

Suitable bases include carbonates e.~. sodium carbonate or potassium carbonate, bicarbunates e.g. sodium bicarbonate or potassium bicarbonate or organic bases such as pyridine or triethylamine.
When the reaction is carried out in the presence of a base the compound of formula (II) may conveniently be used in the form of an acid addition salt such as a hydrochloride salt.
When the reaction is carried out in the presence of an alkali metal methylsulphinylmethide salt, such as the potassium salt or more particularly the sodium salt, NaCI-12S(O)CH3, this is conveniently prepared in situ from an alkali metal hydride such as sodium hyclride and dimethylsulphoxide.
When the compound of formula (II) is reacted ~lith the methylating agent alone or in the presence of a base, the reaction may be carried out in an aprotic solvent such as an amide eg dimethylformamide or N-methylpyrrolidone, or acetonitrile, or an alcohol e.g. methanol or ethanol, or a ketone eg methyl ethyl ketone. ~lternatively, when an organic base is used, this may conveniently also be employed as the solvent for the reaction.
The reaction involvinq the alkali metal methyl-sulphinylmethide salt may also he carriecl out in the presence of a solvent, suitàble solvents includinq dimethylsulphoxide or an ether eg tetrahydrof~lran.

~ 3 - ~ ~3~4~

rhe methylation reaction is conveniently carried out at a temperature of from 0 to 50, preferably at room temperature.
A preferred process according to the present invention involves preparing ranitidine of formula (I) by methylating a compound of formula (Il) in which R
represents a methyl group.
If desired the furan derivative of formula (I) once obtained may be converted into an acid addltion salt, eg a hydrochloride, using conventional methods. Thus for example, appropriate quantities of the free base of formula (I) and an acid, eg hydrochloric acid, may be mixed in a suitable solvent(s), eq an alcohol such as sthanol or isopropanol, or an ester such as ethyl acetate.
The process of the present invention is advantageous - in that the starting material of formula (II) is readily obtainable in a pure crystalline form. Furthermore, the process has the advantage that there is no evolution of thiol. This is a significant advantaqe since it is necessary to prevent the release of thiol into the environment and this requires the use of specialised equipment which is expensive to run.
The invention is illustrated but not limited by the followinq examples in which temperatures are in C and hplc refers to hiqh perFormance liquid chromato~raohy.

Example 1 N-[2-[[5-[(Dimethylamino)methy1]-2-furanylmethyl]thio]
ethyl] -N'-methyl-2-nitr:o-1 7?-ethenediamine (a) A mixture of sodium hydride (70O dispersion in oil, 0.159) and dry dimethylsulphoxide (30ml) was heated at 70-75 for 0.75h under nitrogen. On cooling to 20 a solution oF N-[2-[[5-[(methylamino)methyl]-2-Furanyl-methyl]thio]ethyl]-N'-methyl-2-nitro-1,1-ether1ediamine (1.2~) (Compound A) in dimethylsulphoxide (10ml) was added dropwise fnllowed by the addition of iodomethane (0.27ml) in dimethylsulpho`xide (10ml) and the so]ution was stirred at 20, under nitrogen, for 18h. Water (10ml) was added and the mixture was evaporated in vacuo. The residue was partitioned between dichloromethane (50ml) and 2N aqueous sodium carbonate (50ml). The dichloromethane layer was separateo and the aqueous layer further extracted with dichloromethane (2x50ml). The combined dichloromethane extracts were washed with brine, dried (Na2C03) and evaporated and the residue (1.59) was chromatographed on 2b silica [~lerck No. 7734, 809] using dichloromethane:
ethanol:O.88 ammonia 75:n:1 as eluent to qive the title (0.179). N.m.r. and I.r. spectroscopy showed that this sample was consistent with the title compound 374~L~

prepared according to the method oF Example 15 in British Patent Specification No. 1565966.
(b) Similarly, sodium hydride (60o dispersion in oil, 0.449), dimethylsulphoxide (60ml), Compound A (1.5g) and methyl tosylate (1.02g) gave a product which was shown by hplc to contain about 157mg of the title compound.
(~) Similarly, sodium hydride (60no dispersion in oil, - 0.449), dimethylsulphoxide (80ml), Cornpound A (1.59) anrl dimethylsulphate (0.76ml) gave a product which was shown by hplc to contain about 157mg of the title compound~

Example 2 N-[2-[[[5-[(Dimethylamino)methyl]-2-furanyl]methyl]thio]-ethyl]-N'-methyl-2-nitro-1,1-ethenediamine (a) N-[2-[[[5-[(methylamino)methyl]-2-furanyl~methyl~-thio] ethyl]-N'-methyl-2-nitro-1,1-ethenediamine hydrochloride (Compound B) (1.33g) and potassium carbonate (0.559) in methanol (25ml) were treated with iodomethane ~0 (0.5~9) at 0-4 for 5h and then at room temperature for a further 17h. The reaction mixture was stlown by hplc to to contain 211mg of the title compound.

(b) Similarly, Compound 8 ~0.54g), triethylamine (0.339), methanol (12ml) and iodomethane (0.1ml) gave a mixture which was shown by hplc to contain about 50mg o~ the title compound.
(c) Similarly, Compound B (0.54q), pyridine (0.199), methanol (12ml) and iodomethane (0.1ml) gave a mixture which was shown by hplc to contain about 50mq of the title compound.
