A PROCESS FOR PREPARING CIPROFLOXACINE

The invention refers to a process for preparing 1-cyclo-propyl-6-fluoro-1,4-dihydro-4-oxo-7-(1-piperazinyl)-quinoline--3-carboxylic acid (ciprofloxacine) as per formula I) COOH
~t~ N ( I ~
the pharmaceutically acceptable acid addition salts and hydrates, thereof.
The subject compound is a bactericidal agent, recently introduced in therapeutics in certain countries and is highly effective against both gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria.
Spanish Patent No. 516.921 discloses a process for the preparation of the formula I compound) wherein starting from 2,4-dichloro-5-fluarobenzoyl chloride as per formula II

the formula I compound is obtained by means of a sequence of reactions involving seven steps, the first of which consists of acylation of diethyl malonate with theacid chloride of formula II in the presence of magnesium ethoxide prepared "in situ" from anhydrous ethanol and magnesium metal. There is also described the preparation of the Formula II starting material, which is not commercially available, starting from 2,4-dichloro-5-methylaniline using another synthetic route involving 5 steps.
Later, German Patent n~ 3.435.392 discloses a process for preparing 2,4-dichloro-5-fluorobenzoic acid as rer formula III, F / 00;i C1 ~1 (III) starting from 2,4-dichlorofluorobenzene as per formula IV, F

acid chloride is obtained by the action of thionyl chloride 13406:1 in a three phase sequence starting from 2,4-dichlorofluoroben-zene (IV), which represents an overall synthetic route of ten steps to obtain the formula I compound starting from the formula IV compound.
Thus, it has now been possible to establish a new process for preparing the formula I compound which is represented in the following reaction scheme:

I.e., the process in accordance with the invention is characterized by the following steps:

The starting material for this new process) 1-(2,4-dichlo-ro-5-fluorophenyl)-1,3-butanedione of formula VI, has not been .. 134056.1 -described in scientific literature and was ubt;ained by cunden-sation of N-acetyl-2-pyrrolidine with 2,4-dichloru-5-fluuru--acetophenone of formula V;

C1 ~Cl (V) in the presence of a base such as sodium hydride in an inert solvent, for example ethyl ether, in accordance with the pro-cedure described by H. Stetter and W. Steinbeck for the synthesis of 1-phenyl-1,3-butanedione (See Chem. Ber., 103) 1088-1094 (1970)).
Alternatively) the butanedione as per formula VI was also prepared by acylation of the formula V compound with an excess of 2 mots of acetic anhydride in the presence of boron tri-fluoride ethyl acetate or acetic acid complexes thereof, in accordance with the procedure indicated in literature (See J. Am. Chem. Soc. 75, 5030 (1953)).
It has been found) in particular, that if the Formula V
acetophenone is acylated in the preparation of the Formula VI
starting material at moderate temperatures with an excess of two to four mols of acetic anhydride and in the presence of an exces of three to six muls of 40 wt~o boron trifluoride-acetic acid complex) excellent yields of Formula VI butanedione are obtained. Because of its simplicity, yield and high purity of the compound obtained, the use of this method is recommendable for the preparation of the said Formula VI starting material.

I340 ~b1 _8_ It may also be prepared by means of a Claisen condensation between formula V acetophenone and an excess of ethyl acetate in the presence of a base such as sodium methoxide, sodium ethoxide, sodium or s potassium tert-butoxide, sodium amidide or sodium hydride, at temperatures of between -10 and 60~C. This process, however, gave lower yields than the method indicated in the previous paragraph.
2,4-dichloro-5-fluoroacetophenone as per formula V
~o is a compound known in scientific literature (See Zh, Obshch Khim., 32, 3131 (1962), C.A. 58, 1l243 g), and is obtained by Friedel-Crafts acylation of 2,4 dichlorofluorobenzene, which is commercially available.
The proces of the invention affords advantages ~5 compared to methods indicated in the previously mentioned patents. First of a11, a 1,3-dicarbonyl substrate is obtained, capable of being condensed with trimethyl or triethyl orthoformate in only two steps starting from the formula IV 2,4-dichlorofluorobenzene, zo while with the other process mentioned in the previous patents, the analogous objective requires an elaborate five step sequence of reactions. Secondly, the number of steps necessary for obtaining ciprofloxacine (I) as from the formula IV compound is reduced to eight.
2s From an industrial viewpoint, both aspects represent a saving in power and manpower, as well as an improvement in the overall yield of the synthesis. On the other hand, the use of magnesium metal is avoided, which means greater manufacturing safety and adequacy, 3o particularly when working with much larger amounts.

- g _ Finally, a11 the reactants used in this novel process can be acduired freely on the market without the need for prior preparation of any of them.
The first step of the process for preparing the formula I
compound, i.e. the condensation of formula VI 1-(2,4-dichloro-5-fluorophenyl)-1,3-butanedione and an excess of triethyl urthoformate in the presence of more than two mols of acetic anhydride per mol of the initial compound) is conducted at temperatures of from l20~- to 15O~-C for a period of time of from one to three hours, in accordance with generally used methodology in reactions between alkyl orthoformates and 1,3-dicarbonyl compounds (See Methoden Organische Chemische, 4th Ed., Vol. VII, Page 49). After low pressure evaporation of the volatile material and the excess of reactants, the enol ether of formula VII is obtained which, without subsequent purification, is reacted with cyclopropylamine (step b) a~
temperatures of 0~- to 50~-C, in an inert solvent such as ethanol, methanol, isopropanol) methylene chloride, chloroform, benzene, toluene, etc., in order to obtain the formula VIII enaminone with an excellent yield.
When trimethyl orthoformate is used in step a), it is preferable for the Formula VI butanodione to be reacted with an excess of said trimethyl orthoformate in the presence of an excess of acetic anhydride to provide the corresponding enol ether in this case. The reaction occurs initially at the reflux temperature of the mixture for a period of time between one and three hours, after which) after distilling off some of ~3~O~b1 the more volatile by-products, the mixture is held at a temperature between 110~C and 150~C for from thirty minutes to three hours. Removal of the remaining volatile material by evaporation provides the enol ether s which, with the addition of cyclopropylamine under the conditions cited for step b), gives the Formula VIII
enaminone. The trimethyl orthoformate excess should preferably lie between one and two moles and the acetic anhydride excess between two and three moles per mol of ~o formula butanodione, with the molar amount of acetic anhydride being, at least, the sum of the other two components in the reaction.
This alternative possibility, relating to the use of trimethyl orthoformate, may represent savings on an ~s industrial scale, considering the lower cost of the trimethyl orthoformate than the triethyl orthoformate and considering the reduction of over 25% of the amount of the formerto be used in comparison with the latter, due to the molecular weight thereof.
zo Cyclization of formula VIII compound is carried out to obtain the formula IX compound (step c) by heating in a high boiling point organic solvent, such as N,N-dimethylformamide, N,N-dimethylacetamide or dimethyl-sulphoxide, in the presence of a base such as potassium 2s carbonate, sodium carbonate, sodium methoxide, potassium tert-butoxide or sodium hydride, preferably potassium carbonate, at temperatures between 80~C and 180~C.
The 3-acetyl-4-oxo-quinoline of formula IX is condensed - 11 - 1340e1 (step d) with an excess of 2 to 4 cools ref N-ethuxycarbunyl-piperazine as per formula X, in the presence of an organic solvent of the same characteristics as those mentioned in ',;he previous paragraph) at temperatures lying between 80Q and 150~C
and reaction times lying between two and 10 hours, whereby formula XI intermediate is obtained with excellent yield.
The oxidation (step e) of the formula XI compound is carried out in water, or in mixtures thereof with miscible organic solvents, such as 1,4-dioxane or tetrahydrofurane) by the action of alkaline aqueous solutions of metal hypohalites, such as sodium hypochlorite or hypobromite, at temperatures between -10~- and 90~-C.
The oxidation may preferably be carried out by the action of an aqueous solution of commercial sodium hypochlorite on a solution of the said intermediate XI in a low molecular weight alcohol, fur example) methanol ur ethanol) at temperatures close to room temperature and reaction times lying between one and six hours.
Finally, hydrolysis of XII in the presence of an aqueous solution of alkaline hydroxide such as sodium hydroxide ur potassium hydroxide, leads to formula I compound being obtained with good yields. Water or mixtures thereof with a low molecular weight alcohol can be used as reaction solvent.
Reaction is carried out at reflux temperature of the solvent used) over a time of between one and four hours.
In order to provide a clear understanding of a11 the foregoing) hereunder some non-limiting examples of the inventive process are described.
