Abstract

This invention relates to a process for making 3-hydroxy-4-amino-benzonitril e.

Description

An Improved Synthesis of 3-Hydroxy-4-Amino-Benzonitrile Scope of the Invention This invention relates to a process for making intermediates useful for making certain phenyl urea compounds. The end-product phenyl urea compounds are useful in treating IL-8, GROoc, GROG, GROy and NAP-2 mediated diseases.
Area of the Invention Interleukin-8 is a chemoattractant for neutrophils, basophils, and a subset of T-cells. It is produced by a majority of nucleated cells including macrophages, fibroblasts, endothelial and epithelial cells exposed to TNF, IL-la, IL-lb or LPS, and by neutrophils themselves when exposed to LPS or chemotactic factors such as FMLP.

Immunol. 148, 3216 ( 1992).
There is a need for treatment in this field, for compounds which are capable of binding to the IL-8 a or p receptor. Therefore, conditions associated with an increase in IL-8 production (which is responsible for chemotaxis of neutrophil and T-cells subsets into the inflammatory site) would benefit by compounds which are inhibitors of IL-8 receptor binding. Such compounds have been disclosed in published patent applications exemplified by the likes of PCT/US96/13632, published 21 August 1997 as WIPO No. W097/29743. This invention provides a method for making 2-amino-5-cyano-phenol which is a useful intermediate for synthesising N-[2-hydroxy-4-cyanophenyl]-N'-[2-bromophenyl]urea, a compound disclosed in PCT application serial number PCT/US96/13632, published 21 August 1997 as WIPO No. W097/29743.

The benzoxazolinone starting material (formula 1-a) is commercially available. See for example Aldrich. It is halogenated, bromine is illustrated, by mixing it with a solution of an organic acid, and a the alkali metal salt of that acid in a molar amount about equal to that of the benzoxazolinone to give the compound of formula b. Glacial acetic acid and its sodium salt are the preferred organic acid/salt combination. In the case of the illustrated benzoxazolinone, a suspension forms.
That suspension is cooled to below ambient temperature, somewhere between 0-20 °C and then bromine is added slowly; a slight molar excess of bromine with reference to the benzoxazolinone is preferred. This mixture is stirred at ambient temperature for a period sufficient to effect the reaction, usually about 12 hours to overnight. No special conditions are required to work up the halogenated product illustrated by formula b.
The nitrite of formula 1-c is prepared by treating the brominated benzoxazolinone with CuCN at a moderately elevated temperature under an inert gas in a polar solvent such as dimethyl formamide, N-methyl pyrrolidinone or dimethylsulfoxide. Alternatively Zn(CN)2 or an alkali metal salt of the cyanide ion can be used to effect this cyanation reaction. In addition a transition metal catalyst such as Pd(0) or Ni(0) can be used with Zn(CN)2 and an alkali metal salt of the cyanide ion respectively. As illustrated herein the benzoxazolinone is added to the solvent followed by the CuCN (in about a 75% molar excess). This mixture is heated to a temperature which is in the range of 120 - 175 °C. The reaction is carried out under an inert gas, preferably nitrogen. The reaction mixture is heated to the noted temperature range for about 4-8 hours. Then the reaction is cooled to about 100 °C, a 3 to 4-fold molar excess of an alkali metal cyanide, e.g.
NaCN, is added and the resulting suspension is stirred for a couple of more hours at ambient temperature. No special workup is required to recover the nitrite.
The carbamate (formual 1-d) is prepared by treating the benzoxolecarbonitrile with an alkyl dicarbonate in a polar non-protic solvent in the presence of a nucleophilic addition catalyst such as dimethylaminopyridine.
The reaction is run at about ambient temperature for a couple of hours or so.
To remove the t-BOC group and form the NH2-acid form of the compound (formula 1-e) the I,l-dimethylethylcarbamate is treated with an organic or mineral acid. While trifluoroacetic acid is illustrated, HCl or H2S04 or an organic acid such as methansulfonic acid can be used in this reaction as well. The carbamate is dissolved in a polar aprotic solvent, cooled, acid added, and the mixture stirred for several hours at a temperature between 0 °C and room temperature.
Workup can involve precipitating the product by adding an organic solvent, cooling the resulting suspension to below freezing, and holding it at that temperature for up to 12 hours or so as a means for isolating the product.
The compound designated formula 1-f is made by treating the acid salt form of the amine with an isocyanate in the presence of about an equivalent of a base to scavenge the acid release when the isocyanate reacts with the amine to form the urea moiety. As a preferred practice the salt is dissolved in a suitable solvent such as acetonitrile to which is added a base. Piperidine is an example of a base that can be used as an acid scavenger. Then an isocyanate is added. The reaction proceeds at room temperature and is complete in the course of 1 to 3 hours or thereabouts.
Workup and recovery of the product is conventional.
An experimental procedure for each stage of the reaction set out in Scheme I
is detailed below. These experimentals are set out solely for the purpose of illustrating the invention. What is reserved to the inventors is to be determined by reference to the claims, not to the following examples.
