The process has the following reaction sequence (II) (III) (IV) 7-fluorisatin acid (VII) (VI) (V) (3-fluoro-2-chloro-5-nitrobenzoyl)- 3-fluoro-2-chloro-5-nitro-malonate benzoic acid (VIII) (IX) 3-fluoro-2-chloro-5 nitroacetophenone (2-acetyl-6-fluoro-4-nitro-phenyl-thio)acetic acid

Description

~L2~

The invention relates to a process for the preparation of 3-methyl-7-fluoro-5-nitrobenzothiophene and to intermediates used in the preparation and their preparation.
German Patent Application P 33 11 349.4 (published September 29, 1984) describes 7,8,9,10-tetrahydrothieno[3,2-e]-pyrido[4,3-b]-indoles, processes for their preparation and their use as medicaments. 3-Methyl-7-fluoro-5-nitrobenzothiophene is a key product in the synthesis of l-methyl-9-ethyl-4-fluoro-7,8,9,10-te-trahydrothieno[3,2-e]-pyrido[4,3-b]-indole.
The synthesis of 3-methyl-7-fluoro-5-nitrobenzothiophene in the patent application mentioned presents some difficulties, in particular in the prepara-tion of relatively large amounts of sub-stance. Thus, the reaction of 1,1-dimethyl-3-(3-methyl-5-nitroben-zothiophen-7-yl)-triazene with hydrofluoric acid to give 3-methyl-7-fluoro-5-nitrobenzothiophene requires the use of special appara-tuses. The diazotisation of the 3-methyl-5-nitro-7-amino-benzothio-phene requires the use of nitrosylsulphuric acid in concentrated sulphuric acid and thus leads to a considerable amount of inor~anic salts being obtained in the triazene formation; furthermore, puri-fication by column chromatography is necessary. Although the re-duction of 3-methyl-5,7-dinitrobenzothiophene with ammonium sulphi.de leads chiefly to the desired 3-methyl-5-nitro-7--amino-benzothiophene, in this case also purification by column chromatography is necessary.
The present invention describes a process for the prepa-ration o 3-methyl-7-fluoro-5-nitrobenzothiophene which bypasses the difficulties mentioned.

2nd stage: 3-Fluoro-5-nitroanthranilic acid (IV). This compound is prepared in a manner which is known per se by nitration of 7-t - 4 -~z~

fluoroisatin andoxidation with hydrogen peroxide.
The nitration is preferably carried out with 100~ strength nitric acid in concentrated sulphuric acid.
IIowever, it is also possible to use other nitrating agents, such as alkali metal nitrates, mixed anhydrides of nitric acid or nitric acid esters or other sol-- 4a -~2~ 8D~

Suitable solvents are concentrated sulphuric ~5 acid~ phosphoric acid~ hydrochloric acid or glacial acetic acid or mixtures thereof. Diazotisation with nitrosyl-sulphur;c acid in phosphoric acid/glacial acetic acid mix tures is preferred. The reaction temperatures here can be varied from -5 to 30. ~eplacement of the diazoniwm group by chlorine is carried out with aqueous hydrochloric acid in the presence of copper catalysts. Copper-I
chloride is the preferred catalyst.

The tablets, dragees, capsules, p;lls and granules can be provided ~;th the customary coat;ngs and shells, opt;onally conta;n;ng opal;s;ng agents, and can also be of such compos;t;on that they rel~ase the act;ve compound or compounds only, or preferentially~ in a certa;n part of the ;ntest;nal tract, optionally ;n a delayed manner, examples of embedding compos;tions ~hich can be used be;ng polymeric substances and ~axes.
The act;ve compound or compounds, optionally together ~ith one or more of the abovemen~ioned exc;pients, can also be in a microencapsulated form.
Suppositories can contain, in addit;on to the act;ve compound or compounds, the customary water-soluble or water-;nsoluble excipients, for example polyethylene glycols, fats, for exarple cacao fat~ and higher esters (for example C14-alcohol with C16-fatty acid), or mix-tures of these substances.

The formulation forms mentioned can also contain colorants, preservatives and addit;ves which improve ~he odour and flavour~ for example peppermint oil and eucalyp-tus oil, and s~eeteners, for example saccharin.
The therapeutically active compounds should pre-ferably be present in ~he abovementioned pharmaceutical formulations in a concentration of about 0.1 to 9905X by ~eight, preferably about 0.5 to 95% by ~eight~ of the total m;xture.
The abovementioned pharmaceutical formulations can also contain other pharmaceutical active compounds, in addit;on to compounds of the formula (XI) andJor their salts.
The abovementioned pharmaceut;cal formulations are prepared in the customary manner by known methods, for example by mix;ng the active compound or compounds w;th the excipient or excip;ents.

In general, it has proved advantageous to adm;nis-ter the active compound or compounds~ in the case of 5 parenteral (intravenous or intramuscular) administration, in amounts of about D.~1 to about 10, preferably 0.1 to 1, mg/kg of body weight every 2~ hours, and, in the case of oral administration~ in amounts of about 0.05 to about 100, preferably 0.1 to 10, mg/kg of body we;ght every 24 hours, optionally in the form of several individual administrations, in order to achieve the desired results.
An indiv;dual administration preferably contains the active compound or compounds in amounts of about 0001 to about 30, ;n part;cular ~.03 to 3, mg/kg of body weight~
~owever, it can be necessary to deviate from the dosages mentioned, and in particular to do so as a func-tion of the nature and body we;ght of the subject to be treated, the nature and severity of the disease, the nature of the formulation and of the administration of the medicament, and the time or interval over ~hich the administration takes place. Thus it can in some cases suffice to manage with less than the abovementioned amount of active compound~ ~hilst in other cases the abovemen-tioned amount of active compound must be exceeded. The particular optimum dosage required and the type of adminis-tration of the act;ve compounds can easily be determined by anyone skilled in the art on the basis of his expert kno~ledge D
The active compounds of the formula (XI) can also 3D be in the form of medicaments ~hich add;tionally contain other active compounds besides compounds of the formula (XI~. ~ctive compounds which may be mentioned as pre-ferred are: ~-receptor blockers, parasympatholytics~
anxiolytics, neuroleptics, hypnstics and tranquillizers.
