Abstract

Abstract A process for the production of 5-chloro-4-(2-imidazolin-2-yl-amino)-2,1,3-benzothiadiazole by reacting 5-chloro-4-cyanamino-2,1,3-benzothiadiazole with ethylenediamine mono-p-toluene-sulfonate in xylene. The compound is a centrally acting myotonolytic and has the structural formula I.

The compound is a centrally acting myotonolytic.

It has been found that pure crystalline tizanidine can be produced in a simple manner and very good yield by reacting 5-chloro-4-cyanamino-2,1,3-benzothiadiazole of formula II, N \

with ethylenediamine mono-p-toluenesulfonate in xylene.

The process is conveniently effected at temperatures of 75 to 140, preferably from 80 to 110? more prefera~ly 90 to 100C.

~ZS~9S~6 - 2 - 500~56q9 The prQcesA~ according t~ the inven~jon has~ ~everal advantages.. T~e process: can ~e ef~ected as- a one~tep reac~i~on and the solvents need not to ~e evaporated. Ti~zani~dine crystallize~ out from t~e reaction mixture ~ithout effecting any furt~er process steps and is of high purity. The process is characterised ~y high yield.
Another advantage is that the process can easily be carried out in industrial scale, ~ecause solvents are employed, which are not detrimental to the environment or are not hard to handle. The process is economi~c, ~eaause the energy demand is low and the solvents are cheap.

5-chloro-4-cyanamino-2,1,3-benzothiadiazole used as starting material can be prepared from 5-chloro~4-amino-Z,1,3-benzothiadiazole.

In the following examples al1 temperatures are given in degrees centigrade and are uncorrected, The temperatures refer if not otherwise stated to internal temperature.

4~cyanami~no-2,1,3-~enzothiadiazole are added within 2 ~ours and the mixture is ~tirred for 2 ~ours at 100 (surface temperature). There-after ~0 1 water are added ~ithin 10 minutes with ~he mixture cooled to 40 during the addition pertod. Thereafter at 40 78 1 30X
sodtum hydroxide solution are added over a 30 minutes period and the mixture cooled to 20~25~.The suspensi~on is centrifuged, the residue washed with 30 1 water and dried 24 hours tn vacuo at a~out 20 mm Hg and 70 to give 30 kg of the title compound, m.p. 223-225~purity~ 98%).

Example 2. 5~hloro-4~2~imidazolin-2-ylamino~2,1,3~enzothiadiazole hydrochlori~de 51.5 kg 5-Chloro-4 (2-~midazolin-2-yl~mino)-2,1~3-ben~othiadiazole in 280 1 dimethylformamide are heated to 80, treated with 1 kg decolorizing carbon in 5 1 dimethylformamide and stirred 15 minutes at 80. The suspension ;s filtered, ;nto the f;ltrate 8.3 kg gaseous HCl are introduced at ~0 and the mixture is stirred for further 30 minutes. After cooling to 20 the mlxture is stirred ~or 2 hours.
The resulting suspension is centrifuged and the solids washed first with dimethyl~ormamide and then with ethanol. The resulting crude salt is refluxed under st~rring in 62 1 water and 240 1 ~5X ethanol until all is d;ssolved. The mixture is treated with I 1 37% hydro-chloric acid to pH 2 and cooled to 0. After centrifuging the crystalline precipitate is washed with ethanol and dried in vacuo (60 nm Hg) a~ 70 (surface temperature). M.P. of the hydrochloride 2~8-290 .

23 ~g ammpni~um rhodanide and ~0 1 acetone are stirred 30 minute at 20~25~. Thereafter 27 1 benzoyl c~loride are ~dded at 20~30 wit~in 30 minutes and the mixture is stirred at 20~25 ~or 20 minutes.
The resulting suspension is centrifuged and the filtrate kept.

37.5 kg 4~Amino~5-chloro~2,1,3-henzothiadiazole and 90 1 acetone are brought to reflux and treated with the above filtrate. The mixture is refluxed for 2 ll2 hours. The reaction is followed by thin layer chromatography. After cooling to 20~25 the suspension is centrifuged. The solid is taken up in 475 1 water, heated to 80 and treated at that temperature with 85 I 30% sodium hydroxide solution within 15 minutes. The clear solution is treated at 80 with 74 kg lead acetate trihydrate wit~in 40 minutes and the mixture is stirred 30 minutes at 80. Thereafter the mixture is cooled to 50, and simultaneously treated with 2 1 phosphoric acid and ca. 5 1 30% sodium hydroxide solution. The mixture is stirred for a further hour at 50. The resulting suspension is centrifuged and the filtrate treated under stirring with 0.3 kg ethylenediaminete-traa~cetic acid disodiumsalt-dihydrate. The mixture is cooled to 20~25 and adjusted to pH 5.5 with ca. 31 1 30% hydrochloric acid.
The mixture is stirred for 30 minutes at 20~25. The resulting s:uspension is centrifuged, the solid dried for 24 hours at about 60 and 20 mm Hg to give 5-chloro~4~cyanamino~2,1,3~benzothiadiazole, m. p . 215 ~220 .
