Abstract

This invention relates to a process of making a compound of formula (I) where R1 contains an .alpha.,.beta.-unsaturated carbonyl group and Rn is hydrogen or nonhydrogen radicals which do not have a functional group which interferes with the coupling reaction, which process comprises coupling a thiolphenol or phenylalkylmercaptan with a chloromethylpyridine in the pres-ence of DBU under an inert atmosphere. These compounds are leukotriene antagonists and as such can be used in treating various diseases associated with leukotrienes.

The following definitions are used in describing this invention.
An ,~mRAtnrated calbGl~yl group is illustrated by -CH=CH-C(=O)-15 or -C~C-C(=O)-. The lm~fine~l carb(,nyl filnrt;on valence can be a carbon-call,oll bond, a calL,oll-heteroatom bond wherein the heteroatom ifi u~y~

The (R)n lisRign~tion is used here to indicate that one or more groups may be present on either the pyridyl ring or the phenyl ring. This tion also includes the case where each of these R groups is hyLo~
25 It is ~ le~l that any mlmher and CQ n)-in~;on of substituents may be ~-ese~t on either nng. The only limit~ n envi~ione~l i6 that the one of these groups must not int~r~,e with the coupling re~ n to a degree as to render the r~aC~ion i~f~ r~l, ie, it does not occur at all, the yield is v~ni~hing ~mall, the wrong product is obt~ine~l in an lmd~rirable amount.
30 It should be understood that a given group may be in protecte-l form, for r~ le a c&l,oAylate function may be present in the form of an ester, the acid being regenerated by hydrolytic, catalytic or enzymatic me~ns once the coupling reaction is complete-l The in~elltion is that of the use of DBU to affect the coupling of the chloro and the thiol to achieve the t~ioet~er and i8 35 to be viewed as only 80 limited ~ 1 3 8 ~ PCr/US93/06177 As for other terms, "~lirh~tic" is inten~lerl to include ssturated and s~t~rated rslAic~l~.

a~ l methoA~ vari~ti-n~ on the same procegs, have been used for ~lel,al~g these c ~ 0!~ . In ~cllbl~l, the a~oach taken was to first make the intermP~liAtes nee~le-l to make the R group, then to prepare the phenyl interme~i~t,e neeAe~ for fol~g the core structure of formula I; the pyridyl interrnP~ e was then ~lel alcd and reacted with the phenyl interme.~ te to form the core structure. Salts, free acids, amides, alternative esters and the like were then l lc~alcd.
As noted, the first step was to make the interrne-lis.t~s neetle.1 for fo~g those R ~0~8 where the interme~liAt~ were not available cQmm~rcially. This rhamip~ry is illustrated for the case of the substituted phenyl-C1 to Clo-~liphAtic-o- groups. The same or fiimil~r rh~miFtry has been ~ clQ6e~l in pllhli~he-l patent A~lir~ti~ n~, for PYAmple PCT
in~rn~ti~)n~l ~p~liCAtiQn mlmhers PCTIUS9V03772, PCT/US91/03940, and PCT/US9V03399. The rhPmiQ~ries set out in those ~lo~ tQ can be used in place of or in cc~ rt;c!n with those given here to ~.el,are the R groups of formula I.
Usually the snl~ e~l chloromell,yl~yl;dine is ~ ,~ed neYt, as opposed to the thiol i~ s~ t~, but this is not cntical to the practice of the i~v~ on MAking the su~liluted 6-chloromethylpyridyl interme~ te can begin with the Bl~ l,illg ~ ~ou~d and the rhçmiFtry 13i~clo~efl in the PCT ~plirAti~n PCT/US9V03772 and the other PCT cases cited above.
The rhemiQ'ry set out in the '03772 case can be used to COllVel l the s~al lillgm~te~ l, 2~ *~line-a2~3-diol~ to, for e~A..~le, the 2-(E-2-ca.buA~,methylethenyl~3-[4~4-mPtt oYyphenyl)butyloxy~-6-~hloromell~yl~;dine. This is illustrated in ~rh~me I given below. Novel rh~-nig~ry~ both cQn~itir nc and the reagent DBU, are then used to couple 35 the thiophenol with the chloromethyl substituted pyridine in order to make the basic structure of formula I. Base, or acid, can then be used to hydrolyze any ester group, if 80 desi~cd. A free acid can be ohtoinsA from ~e salt by acidifying a solution of the salt.

Claims (3)

What is claimed is:
1. A process for making a compound of formula I

where the R1 contains an .alpha.,.beta.-unsaturated carbonyl group and the designation (R)n is hydrogen or one or more non-hydrogen radicals covalently bonded to the pyridyl and phenyl rings and m is 0-5; which process comprises coupling a chloromethylpyridine of formula II with a thiol of formula III in the presence of 2 to 5 equivalents of 1,8-diazabicyclo[5.4.0]undec-7-ene (DBU) under an inert gas at a temperature between about ambient and 100° C for a period sufficient to effect the coupling.

Formula II Formula III
where R1 is defined above, m is 0 - 5 and (R)n is hydrogen or one or more radicals which can be substituted on either the pyridyl or phenyl ring and which does not have a functional group which interferes with the coupling reaction.
2. The process of claim 1 where about 3 equivalents of DBU is used and the reaction is carried out in acetonitrile under argon at a temperature of about 50° C for 2 to 4 hours.
3. The process of claim 2 wherein the product is a compound of formula IA

IA

or an N-oxide, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt, where R is C1 to C20-aliphatic, unsubstituted or substituted phenyl-C1 to C10-aliphatic where substituted phenyl has one or more radicals selected from the group consisting of lower alkoxy, lower alkyl, trihalomethyl, and halo, or R is C1 to C20-aliphatic-O-, or R is unsubstituted or substituted phenyl-C1 to C10-aliphatic-O- where substituted phenyl has one or more radicals selected from the group consisting of lower alkoxy, lower alkyl, trihalomethyl, and halo;
R1 is -(CH2)xCH=CHCORy, or -(CH2)xCH=CHCHO, where x is 0 - 2 and Ry is -OH or an ester thereof or NH2 or a substituted amide derivative thereof;
R2 is H, lower alkoxy, halo, -CN, -(CH2)nR4 where n is 0 - 5, lower alkyl, or CF3;
R3 is H, lower alkoxy, halo, lower alkyl, CF3, -CN, -(CH2)nR4 where n is 0 - 5, R4 is tetrazol-5-yl or COR5; and R5 is lower alkoxy, CH3(CH2)0-6CO or phenyl(CH2)0-3CO.
