Description

WO96tl7839 PCT~S95/15385 NOVEL PROCESSES FOR PREPARING RANITIDINE

The present invention relates to a novel process for preparing ranitidine, N-[2-[[[5-(dimethylamino)methyl-2-furanyl]methyl]thio]ethyl]-N'-methyl-2-nitro-1,1-ethenediamine, and pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof, an antagonist of the H2-histamine receptor which is useful in the treatment of gastric and peptic ulcers (U.S.
Patent No. 4,128,658, December 5, 1978). The process of the present invention provides a novel and efficient method for preparing ranitidine and pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
The present invention provides a novel process for preparing ranitidine and pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof, comprising:

reacting 2-nitromethylene-thiazolidine with methylamine to give a reaction mixture and then reacting the reaction mixture with an appropriate 5-[(dimethylamino)methyl]-furan derivative.

WO96/17839 PCT~S95/15385 DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

As used in this application:

a) the terms "ranitidine" or "N-[2-[[[5-(dimethylamino)methyl-2-furanyl]methyl]thio]ethyl]-N'-methyl-2-nitro-l,l-ethenediamine" refer to a compound of the formula ~NO2 , N ~ N N
H H

b) the term "pharmaceutically acceptable salts" refers to acid addition salts.

The expression "pharmaceutically acceptable acid addi-20 tion salts" is intended to apply to any non-toxic organic or inorganic acid addition salt of ranitidine. Illustrative inorganic acids which form suitable salts include hydrochloric, hydrobromic, sulphuric, and phosphoric acid and acid metal salts such as sodium monohydrogen 25 orthophosphate, and potassium hydrogen sulfate.
Illustrative organic acids which form suitable salts include the mono-, di-, and tricarboxylic acids. Illustrative of such acids are for example, acetic, glycolic, lactic, pyruvic, malonic, succinic, glutaric, fumaric, malic, 30 tartaric, citric, ascorbic, maleic, hydroxymaleic, benzoic, hydroxybenzoic, phenylacetic, cinnamic, salicylic, 2-phenoxybenzoic, and sulfonic acids such as p-toluenesulfonic acid, methanesulfonic acid and 2-hydroxyethanesulfonic acid.
Such salts can exist in either a hydrated or substantially 35 anhydrous form.

WO96/17839 PCT~S95/15385 The preparation of ranitidine utilizing the economical starting material 2-nitromethylene-thiazolidine (l) is 5 desirable. Such a process would probably proceed through N-(2-mercaptoethyl)-N'-methyl-2-nitro-l,l-ethenediamine (2).
Contrary to reports in the art, N-(2-mercaptoethyl)-N'-methyl-2-nitro-l,l-ethenediamine (2) is not an isolatable solid characterized by a melting point of about 177-180~C
lO (dec). In fact, compound 2 may not be isolatable. The difficulties in isolating compound 2 are explained by the equilibrium and reactions shown in Reaction Scheme A.
Reaction Scheme A

S J~NH ~;~NN ~COHH3 (1) ~\ H2NCH3 H
20 \ \ / (4) -(H2NcH3) \ ~
NO2 / (cyclization) HS NJ~N~CH3 H H
(2) (air) ~N02 \
3 5 ~S NJ~N~CH3 H H
\ /2 (3) WO96/17839 PCT~S95/15385 As disclosed in Reaction Scheme A, when 2-nitromethylene-thiazolidine (l) is contacted with 5 methylamine an equilibrium is established between the addition product, N-(2-mercaptoethyl)-N'-methyl-2-nitro-l,l-ethenediamine (2) and 2-nitromethylene-thiazolidine (l).
Also, as is appreciated in the art, N-(2-mercaptoethyl)-N'-methyl-2-nitro-l,l-ethenediamine (2), in the presence of a lO base, such as methylamine, is also in equilibrium with the mercaptide anion derived therefrom.

The equilibrium concentration of compound 2 depends on various factors, including the concentration of methylamine.
15 The equilibrium constant for the above reaction of compound l with methylamine to give compound 2 is derived from the expression:

[compound 2]
[compound l] [methylamine]

wherein the terms "[compound 2~" refers to the equilibrium concentration of compound 2 in mol/L, "[compound l]" refers to the equilibrium concentration of compound l in mol/L, and 25 "[methylamine]" refers to the equilibrium concentration of methylamine in mol/L. In acetonitrile and isopropanol that equilibrium constant has a value of about 2 L/mol.

In addition to reacting by loss of methylamine to give 30 compound l, compound 2 can, in the presence of air or other oxidizing conditions, form the disulfide (3), N-methyl-N'-[2-[2-(N"-methyl-2-nitro-l,l-ethenediamine)ethyldisulfanyl]
ethyl]-2-nitro-l,l-ethenediamine, an isolatable solid characterized by a melting point of about 177-180~C (dec), 35 which was previously reported in the art to be compound 2.
Even though disulfide 3 may be a useful intermediate for forming ranitidine utilizing other processes, it represents WO96/17839 PCT~S95/15385 a non-productive by-product in a process which directly uses compound 2 as an intermediate.

Also, compound 2 can cyclize to form 3-methylamino-5,6-dihydro-[l,4]thiazin-2-one oxime, compound 4. In the depiction of compound 4 it is understood that the compound 3-methylamino-5,6-dihydro-[l,4]thiazin-2-one oxime can exist in a number of isomeric and tautomeric states. The lO formation of compound 4 is detrimental to any process which uses compound 2 because it is not in equilibrium with compound 2 and represents a non-productive by-product.

It has now been found that the direct use of N-(2-15 mercaptoethyl)-N'-methyl-2-nitro-l,l-ethenediamine (2) can be accomplished by processes which utilize the equilibria disclosed in Reaction Scheme A. The instant process utilizes the equilibria disclosed in Reaction Scheme A to prepare ranititdine using N-(2-mercaptoethyl)-N'-methyl-2-20 nitro-l,l-ethenediamine (2), without isolation, in a simple and economical one-pot process. The instant process uses N-(2-mercaptoethyl)-N'-methyl-2-nitro-l,l-ethenediamine (2) prepared from simple and readily available starting materials, 2-nitromethylene-thiazolidine (l) and 25 methylamine. Thus, the instant invention provides a simple and economical process for preparing ranitidine.

A general synthetic procedure is set forth in Reaction Scheme l for preparing ranitidine from 2-nitromethylene-30 thiazolidine. In Reaction Scheme l, reagents, techniques,and procedures used are well known and appreciated by one of ordinary skill in the art.

WO96/17839 PCT~S95/15385 Reaction Scheme1 5~5H + H2NCH3 + ,N~_"L

(5) H3C ~ S ~ N~CH3 H H
(ranitidine) In Reaction Scheme l, 2-nitromethylene-thiazolidine (l) is contacted with methylamine to give a reaction mixture and then the reaction mixture is contacted with an appropriate 5-[(dimethylamino)methyl]-furan derivative (5) to give 25 ranitidine.

An appropriate 5-[(dimethylamino)methyl]-furan derivative is one in which L is a suitable leaving group. A
suitable leaving groups, L, is one which can be displaced to 30 give ranitidine. Suitable leaving groups include but are not limited to chloro, bromo, mesylate, tosylate, benzenesulfonate, and the like, with chloro being preferred.
The conversion of hydroxy groups to leaving groups such as chloro, bromo, mesylate, tosylate, and benzenesulfonate is 35 well known and appreciated in the art.

For example, 2-nitromethylene-thiazolidine is contacted with from about l to 20 molar equivalents of methylamine to WO96117839 PCT~S95/15385 give a reaction mixture. Initially contacting 2-nitromethylene-thiazolidine with l to 8 molar equivalents of methylamine being preferred and 2 to 4 molar equivalents of 5 methylamine being more preferred. Additional methylamine may be added during the course of the reaction up to about 20 molar equivalents.

The reaction mixture is formed at a temperature of from l0 about -20~C to about 80~C with temperatures of about -10~C
to about 50~C being preferred. The reaction is carried out under an inert atmosphere, for example under nitrogen or argon.

The reaction mixture is formed in a substantially anhydrous solvent, such as acetonitrile, methanol, ethanol, propanol, butanol, isopropanol, and higher alcohols, such as pentanol, hexanol, heptanol, or octanol, with acetonitrile, methanol, ethanol, and isopropanol being preferred;
20 acetonitrile and isopropanol being more preferred; and acetonitrile being most preferred. Optionally, the solvent may be degassed to remove oxygen.

After a time, the reaction mixture is contacted with 25 from about 0.6 to l.5 molar equivalents of an appropriate 5-[(dimethylamino)methyl]-furan derivative or a salt thereof.
The use of from about 0.9 to l.2 molar equivalents of an appropriate 5-[(dimethylamino)methyl]-furan derivative or a salt thereof is preferred with the use of from about l.0 to 30 l.l molar equivalents of an appropriate 5-[(dimethylamino) methyl]-furan derivative or a salt thereof being more preferred and the use of about l.05 molar equivalents of an - appropriate 5-[(dimethylamino)methyl]-furan derivative or a salt thereof being most preferred. The use of a salt of an 35 appropriate 5-[(dimethylamino) methyl]-furan derivative is preferred.

WO96/17839 PCT~S95/15385 The reaction is carried out at temperatures of from about -20~C to about 80~C with temperatures of from about -10~C to about 50~C being preferred.

When the reaction mixture is contacted with an appropriate 5-[(dimethylamino)methyl]-furan derivative or a salt thereof, the addition of an appropriate 5-[(dimethylamino)methyl]-furan derivative or a salt thereof 10 to the reaction mixture is preferred. The reaction mixture and an appropriate 5-[(dimethylamino)methyl]-furan derivative or a salt thereof can be contacted portionwise, for example, as a single portion or a plurality of portions, or continuously.
When the addition is carried out using a plurality of portions, the amount of 5-[(dimethylamino)methyl]-furan derivative or a salt thereof added in each portion can be decreased throughout the reaction. When the addition is 20 carried out continuously, the rate of addition of 5-[(dimethylamino)methyl]-furan derivative or a salt thereof can be decreased throughout the reaction. The addition of decreasing amounts of 5-[(dimethylamino)methyl]-furan derivative or a salt throughout the reaction is preferred.
When the addition is carried out portionwise, the temperature of the reaction can be substantially the same throughout the addition at temperatures of from about -20~C
to about 80~C with temperatures of from about -10~C to about 30 50~C being preferred.

Alternatively, when the addition is carried out portionwise, the temperature of the reaction can be cycled such that a reaction mixture is formed at a relatively 35 higher temperature, such as about 30~C to about 50~C and then the temperature of the reaction mixture is lowered to about -20~C to about 20~C before a portion of an appropriate 5-[(dimethylamino)methyl]-furan derivative or a salt thereof W096/17839 PCT~S95/15385 _g _ is added. After a time, the temperature can be again raised to a relatively higher temperature, such as about 30~C to 50~C and then the temperature of the reaction mixture is 5 lowered to about -20~C to about 20~C before another portion of an appropriate 5-[(dimethylamino)methyl]-furan derivative or a salt thereof is added. This temperature cycling can be continued until the addition of an appropriate 5-[(dimethylamino)methyl]-furan derivative or a salt thereof 10 is complete.

When the addition is carried out continuously, the temperature of the reaction can be substantially the same throughout the addition at temperatures of from about -20~C
15 to about 80~C with temperatures of from about -10~C to about 50~C being preferred and temperatures of from about 20~C to about 50~C being more preferred.

Alternatively, when the addition is carried out 20 continuously, a reaction mixture can be formed at a relatively high temperature, such as about 30~C to about 50~C then lowered to a temperature of about -20~C to about 20~C before contacting in a reaction zone, such as a continuous reactor cell, with an appropriate 5-25 [(dimethylamino)methyl]-furan derivative or a salt thereof at a substantially similar lower temperature of about -20~C
to about 20~C.

The addition can be accomplished by contacting the 30 reaction mixture with an appropriate 5-[(dimethylamino) methyl]-furan derivative or a salt thereof, either neat or as a solution or slurry in a substantially anhydrous solvent.

- 35 When a solution or slurry of an appropriate 5-[(dimethylamino)methyl]-furan derivative or a salt thereof is used, the addition can be carried out using the a different substantially anhydrous solvent or, more WO96/17839 PCT~S95/15385 conveniently, the same substantially anhydrous solvent that is used to form the reaction mixture. When the addition is carried out using a solution or slurry, adjuncts may be used 5 to increase the solubility of the appropriate 5-[(dimethylamino) methyl]-furan derivative or a salt thereof.
For example, when an appropriate 5-[(dimethylamino)methyl]-furan derivative or a salt thereof is added as a solution or slurry in acetonitrile, adjuncts, such as methanesulfonic lO acid or hydrochloric acid, may be added.

The reaction is carried out in the presence of from about l to 20 molar equivalents of a suitable base. When a salt of an appropriate 5-[(dimethylamino)methyl]-furan 15 derivative is used the reaction is carried out using from about 2 to 20 molar equivalents of a suitable base. When a salt of an appropriate 5-[(dimethylamino)methyl]-furan derivative is added in a solution or slurry containing an adjunct the reaction is carried out using from about 3 to 20 20 molar equivalents of a suitable base. A suitable base may be added portionwise over the course of the reaction. The use of methylamine as the suitable base is preferred, however, other bases may be used, such as triethylamine and diisopropylethylamine.
The product can be isolation by methods well known and appreciated in the art, such as extraction and evaporation.
The product can be purified by methods well known and appreciated in the art, such as chromatography and 30 recrystallization.

In an optional step, ranitidine can be contacted, as is well known in the art, with a pharmaceutically acceptable acid to form a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof 35 which can be further purified by methods well known and appreciated in the art, such as recrystallization.
