Abstract

The present invention relates to a process for the preparation of 1-hydroxypyridones of the formula I (I) <IMG> in which R is a phenyl radical or phenoxy radical which can be substituted as indicated in claim 1, from the corresponding pyrones with hydroxylamine or a hydroxylammonium salt.

Description

^ 21~386~

Process for the preparation of 6-aryloxymethyl-l-hydroxy-4-methyl-2-pyridones The present invention relates to a process for the preparation of 1-hydroxypyridones of the formula I
c~3 ~ 0 ~ ~ (I) in which R is a substituted or unsubstituted phenyl radical or phenoxy radical.

Various 1-hydroxypyridones are useful biological active compounds, for example 6-cyclohexyl-1-hydroxy-4-methyl-2-pyridone (ciclopirox) is used as an active compound in pharmaceuticals for the treatment of fungal infections.
1-Hydroxypyridones of the formula I, which are described in EP-B-241 918, also have very good antimycotic pro-perties and are of interest for use in pharmaceuticals, for example 6-((4-(4-chlorophenoxy)phenoxy)methyl)-1-hydroxy-4-methyl-2-pyridone.

which are also described in EP-B-241 918 and US-A-4 797 409, with hydroxylamine or a hydroxylammonium salt in the presence of a base. The known processes for carrying out this reaction, however, have disadvantages 2183g6~
~0 95/23136 PC'r/EP95/00220 which are an obstacle to transfer to the industrial scale.

EP-B-241 918 describes proces~e~ in which pyrones of the formula II are reacted with hydroxylammonium chloride in 2-aminopyridine or with hydroxylammonium sulfate in the presence of sodium carbonate in toluene. During the work-up, however, methylene chloride is employed. The use of this readily volatile chlorinated hydrocarbon in an industrial process is impossible for ecological reasons or would reguire extraordinary expense for the treatment of the waste air and of the waste water. Moreover, the yield of 45% for the preparation of 6-((4-(4-chloro-phenoxy)phenoxy)methyl)-l-hydroxy-4-methyl-2-pyridone indicated there i8 unsatisfactory for an industrial process. Other syntheses of 1-hydroxy-2-pyridones described in the literature (see, for example, DE-B-22 14 608 or Arzneim.-Forsch./Drug Res. 31(II), pp.
1311 - 1316 (1981)) also have industrial disadvantages of this type or prove unsuitable for the compounds of the formula I.

The process for the preparation of l-hydroxy-2-pyridones described in US-A-4 916 228 does without ecologically dubious auxiliaries. Isolation is carried out, however, in the form of the ethanolamine salts, for whose prepara-tion the l-hydroxypyridone must be present in ~olution.
The use of this process is described for the preparation of l-hydroxy-4-methyl-2-pyridones which carry a cyclo-hexyl radical or a 2,4,4-trimethylpentyl radical in the 6-position. On account of the other solubility properties of the compounds of the formula I which carry the aromatic biphenylyloxymethyl radical or the phenoxy-phenoxymethyl radical in the 6-position, the process of US-A-4 916 228, however, proves unutilizable for these.
Moreover, the conversion of the ethanolamine salts into the free l-hydroxypyridones would be associated with an additional working step.

- ~ ~18~86~
It i8 an object of the present invention to makeavailable an industrially simple and, in the ecological and economical re6pect, more favorable proces6 for the preparation of l-hydroxypyridones of the formula I.
Surprisingly, it has been found that this object is achieved by fir6t reacting the pyrone of the formula II
in a manner known per se with hydroxylamine or a hydroxylammonium salt in the presence of a base and then carrying out the isolation of the product from a mixture of water and water-miscible organic solvents in acidic medium. This is all the more surprising, as it is known from the literature (Arzneim.-Forsch./Drug Res. 31(II), 1311 - 1316 (1981)) that the reaction of pyrones with hydroxylamine does not proceed uniformly, but as by-products yields isoxazolineacetic acids which on acidifi-cation of the reaction mixture should at least precipi-tate from an aqueous system ~d, as in the crystalli-zation of the product from a system containing an organic solvent, it would rather be expected that relatively large amounts of 1-hydroxypyridone of the formula I would remain dissolved in the mother liquor and the yield would be decreased. Instead of this it is higher.

The present invention thus relates to a process for the preparation of 1-hydroxypyridones of the formula I

in which R is a phenyl radical or a phenoxy radical, where the phenyl radical and the phenoxy radical can also be substituted by one or more identical or different substituents selected from the group consisting of (C1-C~)-alkyl, halogen, trifluoromethyl, (C1-C~)-alkoxy and trifluoromethoxy, by reaction of pyrones of the formula W0 95/23136 2t 8~ g ~9 PCT/EP95/00220 II

~ 0 ~ ~II) in which R is defined as indicated for the formula I, with hydroxylamine or a hydroxylammonium salt in the presence of a base, which comprises carrying out the isolation of the product from a mixture of water and one or more water-miscible organic solvents and acidifying during the work-up.

(Cl-Ci)-alkyl substituents can be straight-chain or branched; the same applies to (Cl-C~)-alkoxy substituents.
Examples of (C,-C~)-alkyl groups which can occl~r as 6uch or in (Cl-C4)-alkoxy groups are methyl, ethyl, propyl, isopropyl, butyl, isobutyl, s-butyl and tert-butyl.
Preferred alkyl groups are methyl and tert-butyl.
Preferred alkoxy groups are methoxy and tert-butoxy.

Examples of halogen are fluorine, chlorine, bromine and iodine. Fluorine, chlorine and bromine, in particular chlorine, are preferred.

The radical R in the formula I can be in the 2-position, the 3-position or the 4-position. Preferably it is in the 3-position or the 4-position, particularly preferably in the 4-position. The phenyl radical and the phenoxy radical represented by R can be unsubstituted or mono- or polysubstituted. Preferably it is unsubstituted or mono-, di- or trisubstituted. Particularly preferably it is unsubstituted or mono- or disubstituted. The substituents can be in any desired poRitions.

Preferably, in the process according to the invention 1-hydroxypyridones of the formula I are prepared in which 218~86~

R is a phenoxy radical which can also be substituted by one or two identical or different substituents ~elected from the group consisting of fluorine, chlorine, bromine, trifluoromethyl and trifluoromethoxy.

Particularly preferably, in the process according to the invention 1-hydroxypyridones of the formula I are pre-pared in which R is a phenoxy radical which is sub-stituted by one or two substituents selected from the group consisting of fluorine, chlorine and bromine.
Additionally preferably, the 1-hydroxypyridone of the formula I is prepared in which R is a chlorine-substitut-ed phenoxy radical, in particular a 4-chlorophenoxy radical in the 4-position. Other compounds which can be prepared by the process according to the invention are those of the formula I in which R is a phenyl radical in - the ~-position or a 4-trifluoromethylphenoxy radical in the 4-position.

The reaction of the pyrone of the formula II with hydroxylamine or a hydroxylammonium salt in the presence of a base can be carried out with or without solvent.
Preferably, it is carried out in a solvent. Solvents which can be employed are, for example, esters, such as ethyl acetate or butyl acetate, ethers, such as dimethoxyethane, diethylene glycol dimethyl ether, dioxane or tetrahydrofuran, alcohols, such as methanol, ethanol, propanol, butanol or ethylene glycol monomethyl, -ethyl or -butyl ether, water, amides, such as dimethyl-formamide or N-methylpyrrolidone, or, for example, dimethyl sulfoxide. Preferred solvents are aliphatic or aromatic hydrocarbOns, such as, for example, hexane, heptane, benzine fractions, cyclohexane, methylcyclo-hexane, benzene, toluene, xylene, chlorobenzene or dichlorobenzene. Hydrocarbons selected from the series consisting of heptane, toluene, xylene, chlorobenzene and dichlorobenzene are particularly preferred. Solvents can be employed either on their own or as a mixture with one 218~869 ._ .
or more other solventæ. The reaction is very particularly preferably carried out in toluene.

Preferably, the conversion of the pyrone of the formula II into the 1-hydroxypyridone of the formula I is carried out by initially introducing the pyrone of the formula II
and, if appropriate, the solvent or a part of the solvent at the desired reaction temperature and then metering in the hydroxylamine or the hydroxylammonium salt and the base. Hydroxylamine is commercially available in the form of salts, e.g. as the hydrochloric, sulfuric, phosphoric or acetic acid salt. These salts can be metered in as such in solid or dissolved or suspended form, or in a separate step the hydroxylamine can be liberated from the salt using a base and metered in as such, preferably in the form of an optionally filtered solution. In particular when a ~droxylammonium salt is ~ployed in solid form, the addition to the pyrone of the formula II
is preferably carried out in several portions, particularly preferably at intervals which are æuited to the course of the reaction. The hydroxylamine or hydroxyl~mmonium salt is preferably employed in an amount from 1 to 10 mol per mole of the pyrone of the formula II, particularly preferably in an amount from 1.3 to 3 mol per mole of the pyrone. Hydroxyl~m~o~;um chloride or hydroxylammonium sulfate is preferably employed.

Suitable bases for the liberation of the hydroxylamine from its salt are inorganic and organic bases, for example secondary and tertiary amines, e.g. diisopropyl-amine, triethylamine, tributylamine, triethanolamine, or nitrogen heterocycles such as pyridine, quinoline or imidazole. Preferably, inorganic bases are employed, particularly preferably oxides, hydroxides, carbonates or hydrogen carbonates of the alkali metals or alkaline earth metals, but also, for example, acetates or basic phosphates of these metals. Examples of alkali metalæ and alkaline earth metals are, in particular, lithium, W0 95/23136 218;~869 PCT/EP95/00220 sodium, potassium, cesium, magnesium, calcium and barium, sodium and potassium being preferred. Very particularly preferably, the base employed in the process according to the invention is sodium hydroxide, sodium carbonate, potassium hydroxide or potassium carbonate. Bases can be employed either on their own or as a mixture with one or more other bases. The base is customarily employed in an amount equivalent to the amount of the hydroxylammonium salt employed, but an excess or a slight insufficiency of baRe can also be favorable. The ba~e can be employed in solid or dissolved or suspended form. If in the preferred embodiment of the proces~ according to the invention a hydroxylammonium salt as such is added to the pyrone of the formula II, the addition of the base is preferably carried out in parallel to this. If the hydroxylA ~;um salt is metered in in several portions, then the base is pref~rably also metered in in several portions. After completion of the addition of the hydroxylamine or of the hydroxyl~ - 'um salt and the base, the reaction mixture is subsequently stirred at the desired temperature until the desired degree of reaction is achieved. In general, approximately 4 to 14 hours are necessary for complete reaction.

The reaction of the pyrone of the formula II with hydroxylamine or a hydroxylammonium salt is expediently carried out at temperatures below 120C. Preferably, it is carried out at 20 to 115C, particularly preferably at 20 to 100C, more preferably at 50 to 100C. The temper-ature can be altered while carrying out the reaction, e.g. increased during 6ubsequent stirring to complete the reaction.

The simple work-up is advantageous when working by the process according to the invention. If the conversion of the pyrone of the formula II to the 1-hydroxypyridone was carried out without solvent, after reaction is complete water and one or more water-miscible solvents are added.

W0 95/23136 218 3 8 6~ PCT/EP95/00220 _ -- 8 If the reaction of the pyrone with hydroxylamine or a hydroxylammonium salt is carried out in a solvent which is to be removed to isolate the product, the work-up of the reaction mixture can be carried out by first distil-ling off some or the entire amount of this solvent invacuo or at normal pressure and then treating the residue with water and one or more water-miscible organic 801-vents, or first water and/or a water-miscible organic solvent can be added to the reaction mixture, then the solvent to be removed can be distilled off, optionally as an azeotrope, and then the residue can subsequently also be treated with one or more water-miscible organic solvents and/or water. Preferably, first water is added to the reaction mixture, then the solvent to be removed is distilled off, optionally as an azeotrope with water and particularly favorably in a phase separator, and then the a~ueous residue_is treated with one or more water-miscible organic solvents. Dep~n~; n~ on the solubility ratios of the products and salts in the solvents used, it may also be favorable during the work-up to add a filtra-tion cut or a phase ~eparation. Solvent distilled off can be used for a subsequent batch of the reaction of the pyrone of the formula II with hydroxylamine or a hydroxylammonium salt. In each case, a state of affairs is produced during the work-up in which the product of the reaction of the pyrone of the formula II with hydroxylamine or a hydroxylAmmo~;um salt is present in a mixture of water and one or more, preferably one, water-miæcible organic solvents.

The water-miscible organic solvents employed are pre-ferably those selected from the group consisting of the water-miscible alcohols, ethers, carboxylic acids and ketones. Examples of suitable solvents are methanol, ethanol, propanol, isopropanol, ethylene glycol, di- and triethylene glycol, propylene glycol, tetrahydrofuran, dioxane, ethylene glycol mono- and dimethyl ether, diethylene glycol mono- and dimethyl ether, formic~acid, W0 95/23136 2~838~ PCT/EP95/00220 g acetic acid and acetone. However, amides, such as formamide, dimethylformamide or N-methylpyrrolidone, or, for example, acetonitrile or dimethyl sulfoxide, are also suitable. Water-miscible organic solvents selected from the group consisting of methanol, ethanol, isopropanol, ethylene glycol dimethyl ether, acetic acid and acetone are particularly preferably employed. Additionally preferably, methanol is employed as a water-miscible organic solvent. The ~uantitative ratios of the com-ponents of the mixture of water and one or more water-miscible organic solvents depend on the solubility properties of the respective substances.

The acidification of the reaction mixture obtained in the reaction of the pyrone of the formula II with hydroxyl-amine or a hydroxyl~mmo~ium salt can be carried outbefore or after addition of water and water-miscible organic solvents. If the pyrone was reacted in a solvent and this is to be removed to isolate the product by adding water and then distilling off this solvent, the acidification can be carried out before or after the addition of water, before or after the distillation or alternatively only after the addition of one or more water-miscible organic solvents. Preferably the acidifi-cation takes place when the product of the reaction of the pyrone is already present in the mixture of water and one or more water-miscible organic solvents intended for the isolation. Preferably, a pH of between 0 and 6, particularly preferably between 1 and 5, very particu-larly preferably between 2 and 4, is set during the work-up. Sulfuric acid, hydrochloric acid, phosphoric acid oracetic acid is preferably used for the acidification.
Suitable acids, however, are also, for example, nitric acid, formic acid, trifluoroacetic acid or methane-sulfonic acid. Mixtures of acid~ can also be used. The acids can be employed in pure form or in the form of solutions of any desired, in particular commercially available, concentrations.

2183~69 The l-hydroxypyridone of the formula I crystallizing out from the acidic mixture of water and one or more water-miscible organic solvents can be isolated in a customary manner by simple filtration or centrifugation and is customarily washed with water and/or a mixture of water and the water-miscible organic solvent(s) employed and/or with the organic solvent(s) employed and dried. Water-miscible organic solvents contained in the filtrate can be recovered by distillation and employed in a subsequent batch.

1-Hydroxypyridones of the formula I prepared by the process according to the invention are obtained in a particularly readily filterable form. They have a high purity such that when for certain intended uses further purification by recrystallization is necessary this is only associated with small losses. The l-hydroxypyridones of the formula I are obtained in distinctly higher yields by the process according to the invention than by the known processes, in the case of 6-((4-(4-chlorophenoxy)-phenoxy)methyl)-1-hydroxy-4-methyl-2-pyridone, for example, in 54 to 66% compared with 45% by the process of EP-B-241 918. That these advantages are linked with the fact that - according to the invention - both a water-miscible organic solvent is used and the reaction mixture is acidified becomes clear when one of these conditions is not fulfilled. If 6-((4-(4-chlorophenoxy)phenoxy)-methyl-l-hydroxy-4-methyl-2-pyridone is prepared by the process according to the invention, however no organic solvent is added in this case, but a purely aqueous work-up is carried out, the precipitated product contains theisoxazolineacetic acid formed as a by-product, and the yield is only about 45%. Even if a water-miscible organic solvent is added, but the mixture is not rendered acidic, the yield is only 45%.

The following examples illustrate the invention.
