Description

METHOD FOR PRODUCING AMIDINES
The present invention describes a novel process for preparing amidines which are unsubstituted at the nitrogen and salts thereof with inorganic or organic acids, which comprises reacting appropriate carboxamide oximes with Zn in the presence of carboxylic acids, such as formic acid, acetic acid and propionic acid.
There are already a large number of synthesis methods for preparing amidines which are present as an important structural element in a number of biologically active molecules, such as fibrinogen antagonists (L. Alig et al., J. Med. Chem. ~?. (1992), 4407), Thrombin Inhibitors (H. Vieweg et al., Pharmazie ~7 (1982), 178) or Factor Xa Inhibitors (T. Nagahara et al., J. Med.
Chem. .~ (1993), 1811).
One of the best-tried methods is the two-step transformation of nitriles into amidines via imino esters known as the Pinner reaction (A. Dinner, Chem. Ber. ~,$ (1885), 2845). In general, a large excess of hydrogen chloride in alcohols is used to form the imino ester. The reaction times are frequently very long (J. B.
Medwid, J. Med. Chem. 3~ (1990), 1237). Owing to the concomitant cleavage of acid-labile protective groups or transesterification reactions, the method is unsuitable for preparing more complex molecules. The alternative base-catalyzed preparation of imino esters (F.C. Schaefer et al., J. Org. Chem. ?~ (1.961), 412) is limited to electron-deficient nitriles.
One variant of the Dinner reaction is the reaction of nitriles to amidines via thioamides and S-alkyl thioimino esters (H.
Bredereck, Chem. Ber. ~Q (1957), 1837). This method is widely employed for constructing the amidine functionality in complex compounds such as synthetic thrombin inhibitors (B. Voigt, Pharmazie, ~.$ (1983), 835). However, this method can only be employed for preparing small amounts on a laboratory scale. The chemicals used, hydrogen sulfide (malodorous and highly toxic), methyl iodide or dimethyl sulfate (carcinogenic alkylating agents) and the methyl mercaptan (malodorous and highly toxic) formed as byproduct require extensive safety measures and disposal facilities which can only be ensured in special plants.
Moreover, the products generally have to be purified by chromatography.
Acnidines can also be prepared by hydrogenolytic cleavage of the N-O bond of carboxamide oximes (H.Jendralla et al., Tetrahedron ~1 (1995), 12047; B.D. Judkins, Synth. Commun. ~ (1996), 4351) using hydrogen and palladium/carbon catalysts. 'This method can not be used for the synthesis of amidines which may contain functionalities which can be hydrogenated, such as CC double bonds, benzyl-substituted 0 or N atoms, etc., in the molecule.
Recently, a number of synthetic medicaments, such as, for example, integrin receptor antagonists, and in particular fibrinogen receptor antagonists, or serinprotease inhibitors, in particular thrombin inhibitors, factor Xa inhibitors, factor VIIIa inhibitors, factor IXa inhibitors, urokinase inhibitors, tryplase inhibitors, complement inhibitors (for example Cls and Clr), have been described which contain thienylamidines as structural element: factor Xa inhibitors: RPR 120844 (Thromb.
Haemostasis $~,,, No 1, (1999), 157-160,); urokinase inhibitors:
(Fujisawa, WO 9811089); thrombin inhibitors: Eli Lilly W095/23609 (Ex. 65), BASF, WO 98/06741 (Ex. 1-9 etc.), Boehringer Ingelheim DE 19754490 (Ex. 98-103 etc.). It was possible to prepare the unsubstituted 2- or 3-thiophenecarboxamidines by the Pinner reaction described above in good yields (S. Gronowitz, Acta Chem.
Stand B 31, (1977), 771).
Small amounts of the complex substituted thienylamidines disclosed in the abovementioned patent applications have generally been made available via the thioamide route described above. In view of the abovementioned disadvantages of this method, a satisfactory route for preparing relatively large amounts of these compounds has hitherto not been described.
Catalytic hydrogenation of appropriate carboxamide oximes is likewise not suitable, owing to the generally known property of sulfur-containing compounds to poison hydrogenation catalysts (see R. Schroter, Houben-Weyl 11/1, p. 350 and. W.D. Rudolf, Houben-Weyl E6a, p.492).
Simple addition of ammonia under pressure in the presence of ammonium salts (F. C. Schaefer et al., J. Org. Chem. ~ (1962), 1255) gives only poor yields for thiophene carbonitriles.
It is an object of the present invention to provide a method by which even substituted amidines can be prepared in a simple manner, in good yields and on an industrial scale. Of particular interest are syntheses of aryl- and hetarylamidines, in particular of thienylamidines.
We have found that this object is achieved by a novel, generally applicable process for preparing amidines which are unsubstituted at the nitrogen and salts thereof with inorganic or organic acids, which comprises reacting an appropriate carboxamide oxime with Zn in the presence of carboxylic acids, such as formic acid, acetic acid and propionic acid, preferably acetic acid.
By the novel process, it is possible to prepare even substituted thienylamidines, preferably those in which the amidine function is either in the 2-position or in the 3-position and a further substituent is in one of the three other positions to the sulfur, where the substituent for its part is attached to the thiophene radical via a C, N or 0 atom.
In particular, the process according to the invention as claimed in claim 1 allows the preparation of amidines of the formula I

To this end, carboxamide oximes of the formula II

n in which n and R are as defined in formula I are reacted with Zn in the presence of carboxylic acids, such as formic acid, acetic acid and propionic acid, preferably acetic acid, to the corresponding amidines of the formula I.
Compounds of the formula I may contain one or more centers of asymmetry. According to the process according to the invention, it is possible to prepare both pure enantiomers or diastereomers and mixtures of the enantiomers or diastereomers. In the reaction of the process according to the invention, the configuration at the centers of asymmetry is retained.
Thus, the process for preparing compounds of the formula I

The structural elements A, B, E in the meanings of WO 98/06741 correspond to particularly preferred compounds of the formula I
in which the unit A-B-E is represented by the radical R.
The carboxamide oximes required for carrying out the process according to the invention are prepared by known methods (F. Eloy et al., Chem. Rev. ~. (1962), 155) by reacting the corresponding nitriles with hydroxylamine or, preferably, its salts, particularly preferably hydroxylamine-hydrochloride. The corresponding hydroxylamine derivative is preferably employed in a 1- to 3-fold excess. The reaction is carried out in an inert solvent. Preferred solvents are alcohols, such as methanol, ethanol, n-propanol, iso-propanol or n-butanol, if appropriate in a mixture with methylene chloride, toluene or else water. If salts of the hydroxylamine are employed, at least one equivalent of a base which is stronger than hydroxylamine itself has to be added to liberate the hydroxylamine. It is also possible to employ an excess of base, based on the hydroxylamine salt.
Suitable bases are both inorganic bases, such as sodium carbonate (F. Tiemann, Chem. Ber. ~, (1884), 126), and metal alkoxides, such as sodium methoxide or potassium tert-butoxide (B. D.
Judkins, Synth. Commun. 2~ (1996), 4351), but particularly preferably also tertiary amines, such as triethylamine (H.
Jendralla et al., Tetrahedron ~, (1995), 12047) or diisopropylethylamine. The reaction takes place at a temperature as low as room temperature; however, to accelerate the reaction it is possible to heat the reaction mixture up to the boiling point of the reaction solution, but generally not to more than 80°C.
The isolation of the carboxamide oximes varies. In the case of crystallization from the reaction solution, the products are isolated by filtration. In other cases, the reaction mixture is concentrated and taken up in a water-immiscible solvent in which the products are readily soluble. This solution is washed with water which, if appropriate, has been acidified with mineral acid to pH 2, and is concentrated. The residues can be crystallized in a customary manner in a suitable solvent. However, it is generally also possible to subject the products to further reactions without further purification.
Some of the compounds of the formula II prepared in this manner are novel compounds and accordingly also form part of the subject matter of the present invention. Particular preference is given to the following compounds:
2-N-Boc-aminomethyl-(4-amidoximo)thiophene 2-N-Cbz-aminomethyl-(4-amidoximo)thiophene N-Boc-Pro-2-(4-amidoximo)thienylmethylamide N-Cbz-Pro-2-(4-amidoximo)thienylmethylamide N-Boc-Aze-2-(4-amidoximo)thienylmethylamide N-Boc-Dhp-2-(4-amidoximo)thienylmethylamide N-Boc-Dep-2-(4-amidoximo)thienylmethylamide Pro-2-(4-amidoximo)thienylmethylamide Aze-2-(4-amidoximo)thienylmethylamide Dhp-2-(4-amidoximo)thienylmethylamide Dep-2-(4-amidoximo)thienylmethylamide N-(t-Bu00C-CH2)-N-Boc-D-Chg-Dhp-2-(4-amidoximo)thienylmethylamide N-(t-Bu00C-CH2)-N-Boc-D-Cha-Dhp-2-(4-amidoximo)thienylmethylamide N-(t-Bu00C-CHZ)-N-Boc-D-Phe-Dhp-2-(4-amidoximo)thienylmethylamide N-(t-Bu00C-CHz)-N-Boc-D-Phg-Dhp-2-(4-amidoximo)thienylmethylamide N-(t-Bu00C-CH2)-NH-D-Chg-Dhp-2-(4-amidoximo)thienylmethylamide N-(t-Bu00C-CH2)-NH-D-Cha-Dhp-2-(4-amidoximo)thienylmethylamide N-(t-Bu00C-CH2)-NH-D-Phe-Dhp-2-(4-amidoximo)thienylmethylamide N-(t-Bu00C-CH2)-NH-D-Phg-Dhp-2-(4-amidoximo)thienylmethylamide List of abbreviations:
Aze: Azetidinecarboxylic acid Boc: tert-butoxycarbonyl t-Bu: tert-butyl Cbz: benzyloxycarbonyl Cha: cyclohexylalanine Chg: cyclohexylglycine Dep: 4,5-dehydropipecolinic acid Dhp: 3,4-dehydroproline Phe: phenylalanine Phg: phenylglycine Pro: proline The synthesis of the amidines according to the process according to the invention is preferably carried out by transferring the carboxamide oximes into a solution of acetic acid, where they are reacted by addition of metallic zinc, which is usually employed as a fine powder. The reaction is usually carried out in a solution of pure acetic acid. However, it is also possible to carry out the reaction in, for example, a solution of propionic acid or in a solvent mixture. Suitable solvents are, for example, alcohols, such as methanol, ethanol, n-propanol, isopropanol and n-butanol. The zinc is employed in an excess of up to 10 equivalents. The reaction can be carried out in a temperature range of from -10°C to 70°C, and preference is given to a temperature range of from 20 to 50°C. The conversion can be monitored by thin-layer chromatography. A reaction time of from 2 to 5 hours is customary. However, it is also possible to stir the reaction mixture at 20°C for a relatively long period of time.
Work-up is simple. Excess zinc and the zinc salts formed are l0 filtered off, and the reaction mixture is concentrated, The reaction products can either be isolated and characterized at this stage or directly reacted further. In particular, the removal of any protective groups, such as tert-butyl ester or N-tert-butoxycarbonyl groups, can be carried out advantageously without intermediate isolation after the solid Zn residues have been removed.
Reductions of carboxamide oximes with Zn to give amidines have hitherto not been described. With respect to the known reduction of carbaldoximes with Zn to aminomethylene compaunds (G. D. Pandey et al., Indian J. Chem. Sect. B .~~. (1980), 160; E. Testa et al., Chimia ~ (1957), 310; S. Negi et al., Synthesis, (1996), 991), it is surprising that the process according to the invention permits the cleavage of a N,O bond without a C,N double bond present in the same structural element being reduced.
The examples below serve to illustrate the process according to the invention.
