Description

Process for the Production of Cyclene The invention relates to the subject that is characterized in the claims, i.e., a new process for the production of cyclene.
Cyclene (1,4,7,10-tetraazacyclododecane) is a frequently used starting material in the production of macrocyclic complexing agents and is mainly used in the area of nuclear resonance tomography as a ligand for.gadolinium. Two preparations are already commercially available with ProHance(R) of Bristol-Myers-Squibb and Dotarem(R) of Guerbet. Special research and development projects also use cyclene as a starting material. There is therefore a need for an easy and economical process for the production of this educt.

One of the first published processes (Richman and Atkins, J.
Am. Chem. Soc. 1974, 96, p. 2268) employs the cyclization of a sodium bis-sulfonamide with a corresponding functionalized diethylene sulfonamide. In their synthesis, Weisman and Reed (J.
Org. Chem. 1996, 61, pp. 5186-5187) use the reaction of a bis-thioimidoester with triethylenetetramine for the creation of a tricyclic bis-imine, which is ultimately hydrolyzed to cyclene after reduction.

The processes of V. Panetta et al. (Tetrahedron Lett. 1992, Vol. 33, No. 38, pp. 5505-5508), which perform a cyclization of a tetra-trifluoromethanesulfonic acid amide of triethylenetetramine with 1,2-dibromoethane, follow a more indirect approach to cyclene. The last reaction step comprises the release of cyclene. The process of the Nycomed Company (WO 96/28433) after the production of tribenzylcyclene is also dependent on such a procedure. The synthesis is accomplished by the reaction of a suitable triamine with a monoamine or the two suitable diamines.
The process that is disclosed in DE 19608307 and that contains a tetramerization of N-benzylaziridine as a key step also results in tetrabenzylcyclene.

As described in WO 97/31005 and US 5,587,451, the Dow Chemical Company uses a bis-imidazoline that starts from triethylenetetramine as an intermediate product. The rings in the tetracyclic intermediate product are closed with 1,2-dibromoethane. The subsequent hydrolysis releases the cyclene.

As described in WO 97/49691, the Bracco Company uses a direct approach to cyclene, which starts with the condensation of triethylenetetramine with glyoxal -- which was already disclosed by Weisman et al. (Tetrahedron Lett. 1980, Vol. 21, pp. 335-338).
Then, the latter is converted into a tetracyclic intermediate compound by reaction with 1,2-dibromoethane. The removal of the ethylene bridge that connects the four heteroatoms is carried out by oxidation with bromine with subsequent hydrolysis (or else by hydrolysis with a primary diamine, WO 98/49151). The total yield is indicated with 25%.

Diagram 1: Synthesis Sequence of the Bracco Company (WO
97/49691) The synthesis that is disclosed in WO 96/28432 of the Nycomed Company resembles the above-described synthesis, with the decisive difference being the hydrolysis of the central ethylene bridge. Here, the reaction is achieved by addition of hydroxylamine in an ethanolic solution while being heated. The total yield for this reaction sequence is approximately 45%.

Diagram 2: Synthesis Sequence of the Nycomed Company (WO
96/28432) Evaluation of the Process:

The process according to WO 97/49691, supported by experimental reworking, has some decisive drawbacks, which are summarized briefly below:

The production of the tricyclic compound cannot be reproduced as described, since:

-- The calcium hydroxide cannot be quantitatively separated.
-- Larger amounts of water must be distilled off.

-- The product does not accumulate as an oil, as indicated.
The purification of the tetracyclic compound is very expensive:

-- The extraction of the product from a solid reduces the yield.

Hydrolysis into cyclene has proven to be very difficult:

-- An autoclave reaction must be performed at pH = 14 and at 185 C.

-- The product crystallizes poorly and with heavy contamination from the reaction solution.

The process according to WO 96/28432 also gives rise to criticism. The basic drawbacks are listed below:

-- All synthesis stages have long stirring times.

-- The purification of the tetracyclic compound is carried out via a preparative column chromatography.

-- The hydrolysis to cyclene lasts for a very long time, and the indicated purification method does not yield the product in the desired purity.

All other processes comprise multistage synthesis sequences, in which intermediate products are isolated, which generally is time-consuming and raw material-intensive. The process of Weismann and Reed is ruled out for commercial synthesis, since it is dependent on dithiooxamide (about DM 400/100 g) as one of the starting materials. In the process of Richman and Atkins as well as V. Panetta et al., correspondingly protected amines must first be prepared. After the reaction has been completed, as also in the process of the Dow Chemical Company, Nycomed (WO 96/28433) and Schering (DE19608307), the cleavage of these protective groups is necessary as an additional reaction step, which produces a poorer material balance relative to the desired product. In the case of tetramerization of benzylaziridine, it is necessary to work with large amounts of carcinogenic substances.

A profitable process should use raw materials that are as reasonably priced, as environmentally safe and as easily accessible as possible. The reaction times should also be short and should occur with little energy use. Moreover, the amounts of material during the overall synthesis should be as small as possible.

This object is achieved by this invention.

It has been found that a process for the production of cyclene H H

characterized in that in a single-pot process, triethylenetetramine is reacted with 40% glyoxal at 20 C to 80 C
in a polar, protic solvent, preferably methanol, ethanol, isopropanol, butanol, glycol, water or mixtures thereof, especially preferably ethanol, within 4 to 40 hours, preferably 15 to 20 hours; after the solvent has been removed, the intermediate tricyclic compound that is thus formed is alkylated to the two secondary amine-nitrogens with a 1,2-difuntionalized alkylating agent X(CHz)2X, in which X stands for a nucleofuge group, preferably with 1,2-dibromoethane, 1,2-dichloroethane, 1,2-ditosylethane, 1,2-dimesylethane or 1,2-diiodoethane, especially preferably with 1,2-dichloroethane in a polar aprotic solvent, preferably in N,N-dimethylformamide (DMF), N,N-dimethylacetamide (DMAC), N-methylpyrrolidone (NMP), tetramethyl urea, formamide or dimethylpropylene urea (DMPU), especially preferably in DMF, optionally in the presence of an auxiliary base, preferably sodium carbonate, potassium carbonate, calcium carbonate, sodium bicarbonate, potassium hydrogen carbonate, magnesium carbonate, magnesium hydrogen carbonate, lithium hydroxide or lithium carbonate, especially preferably without an auxiliary base, at 20 to 120 C, preferably 30 to 70 C, within 2 to 24 hours, preferably 6 to 10 hours; after the solvent has been removed, the thus obtained condensation product is treated with hydrazine hydrate in a polar protic solvent, preferably methanol, ethanol, isopropanol, butanol, glycol, water and/or mixtures thereof, especially preferably ethanol, at a pH of 3 to 6, preferably 3 to 4, 12 to 48 hours, preferably 25 to 35 hours, at reflux temperature; then the cyclene is released from the cyclene salt by adding a base, preferably sodium hydroxide, potassium hydroxide, calcium hydroxide or a basic ion exchanger, especially preferably sodium hydroxide and potassium hydroxide, and after the reaction solution is evaporated to the dry state, it is isolated, surprisingly enough achieves the above-mentioned object.

The isolation of the cyclene is preferably carried out by crystallization from toluene, trifluoromethylbenzene or diethoxymethane, whereby the latter is especially preferred.
