Abstract

The present disclosure relates to a process for the preparation of medetomidine, 4-[1-(2,3-Dimethylphenyl)ethyl]- 1H-imidazoIe in an environmentally favourable and commercially feasible manner. Previous methods for the preparation of medetomidine use expensive 4-substituted imidazole derivatives as starting material. A practical way of synthesis is provided in which the imidazole ring is built up during a multi-step process starting from commercially affordable, 2,3-dimethylbenzoic. Mild reaction conditions are used throughout the process.

Description

The preparation method of medetomidine
Background of invention
Background technology
4-[1-(2, the 3-3,5-dimethylphenyl) ethyl]-1H-imidazoles is commonly referred to as medetomidine (I).
Figure BPA00001564003900011
The medetomidine of at first in EP-A-72615, describing is the racemic mixture of the equal proportion of two kinds of optics enantiomers; For being commonly referred to as left-handed and dextral optically active isomer (MacDonald et al., 1991 of left medetomidine (LEV) and dexmedetomidine (DEX) respectively; Savola and Virtanen, 1991).This compound belongs to the high selectivity that has the 2-adrenoceptor, the novel alpha2-receptor stimulant (Savola etal, 1986) that contains the substituted imidazole ring of 4-.
The acceptor that influenced by the catecholamine neurotransmitter, for example, the acceptor of sympathin and suprarenin influence is called as Adrenergic acceptor (or adrenergic receptor), can be divided into alpha and beta subclass.The alpha2-adrenoceptor relates to the automatic inhibition mechanism that neurotransmitter discharges, and in the adjusting of the adjusting of hypertension, bradyrhythmia (heart rate of reduction) even vigilance and pain relieving (to the reduction susceptibility of pain), plays an important role.
Medetomidine is studied in people's clinical trial, and be used as animal have (S)-enantiomer, dexmedetomidine is the narcotic of activeconstituents.
Recently, it is reported that some the pharmacology compound that acts on thrombotonin and Dopamine HCL neurotransmitter has obstruction or promotes the for example ability of adhering to of barnacle of some sea life.USP 7,531,581 have instructed the purposes of medetomidine as anti-alluvial agent first.After a while, USP 7,311,766 disclose the coating composition that comprises medetomidine with USP 7,531,581, are used to suppress or prevent the sea life alluvial on the solid surface.
The possible purposes of medetomidine requires to obtain that can bear, economically feasible equally its preparation method.
Exist several kinds of currently known methodss that are used to prepare medetomidine at present.
Kudzma etc. described the preparation medetomidine multistep rapid method.This method is imperfect, uses highly flammable and corrosive compound because it relates to, and like butyllithium, and further, is reflected at approximately under-78 ℃ the low temperature and carries out.
European patent EP 1918282 has been described the preparation method of medetomidine and its salt.This method has been utilized the metal transferization of halogenated imidazoles with Grignard reagent, and reacts with 2 subsequently.This method relates to protection and the deprotection of trityl chloride to imidazoles nitrogen.
People such as Cordi disclose the medetomidine preparation method with its tartrate form.The shortcoming of this method is to synthesize from quite expensive parent material to begin.
GB2453982 has described the preparation method of medetomidine, comprises making 2 3-dimethyl--xylyl alcohol and the reaction of N-TMS imidazoles.The shortcoming of this method is to need to use strong Lewis acid and excessive reagent.
The invention provides simple and non-obvious process, it can overcome the shortcoming of the known method of prior art.The rapid process of multistep that begins from 2 is expandable and safe for commercial prodn.For the preparation of medetomidine, this synthetic route also is economically feasible approach.
Invention field
