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-(2,3-3,5-dimethylphenyl) ethyl]-1H-imidazoles is commonly referred to as medetomidine (I).
First the medetomidine described in EP-A-72615 is the racemic mixture of the equal proportion of two kinds of optical enantiomorphs, for being commonly referred to as optically active isomer (MacDonald et al., 1991 of the left-handed and dextrorotation of left medetomidine (LEV) and dexmedetomidine (DEX) respectively; Savola and Virtanen, 1991).This compound belongs to the high selectivity had 2-adrenoceptor, the novel alpha2-receptor stimulant (Savolaetal, 1986) of imidazole ring replaced containing 4-.
By the acceptor that Neurotransmitter affects, such as, the acceptor of norepinephrine and Effect of Adrenaline is called as Adrenergic acceptor (or adrenergic receptor), can be divided into alpha and beta subclass.Alpha2-adrenoceptor relates to the automatic suppression mechanism of neurotransmitter regulator, plays an important role in the adjustment of adjustment, even vigilance and the pain relieving (the reduction susceptibility to pain) of hypertension, bradyrhythmia (heart rate of reduction).
Medetomidine is studied in people's clinical trial, and be used as animal there is (S)-enantiomer, narcotic that dexmedetomidine is activeconstituents.
Recently, it is reported, some pharmacological compounds acting on thrombotonin and reduction of Dopamine has the ability of the attachment hindering or promote some marine organisms such as barnacle.United States Patent (USP) 7,531,581 teach the purposes of medetomidine as anti-alluvial agent first.After a while, United States Patent (USP) 7,311,766 and United States Patent (USP) 7,531,581 disclose the coating composition comprising medetomidine, for suppressing or preventing the marine organisms on solid surface from depositing.
The possible purposes requirement of medetomidine can obtain that can bear equally, economically feasible its preparation method.
There are several currently known methodss for the preparation of medetomidine at present.
Kudzma etc. describe prepare medetomidine multistage method.This method is imperfect, because it relates to use highly flammable and corrosive compound, as butyllithium, and further, reacts and carries out under the low temperature of about-78 DEG C.
European patent EP 1918282 describes the preparation method of medetomidine and its salt.This process employs the metal transfer of the imidazoles Grignard reagent of halogenation, and react with 2,3-xylylaldehyde subsequently.The method relates to trityl chloride the protection of imidazoles nitrogen and deprotection.
The people such as Cordi disclose the medetomidine preparation method with its tartrate salt.The shortcoming of this method is that synthesis is from quite expensive parent material.
GB2453982 describes the preparation method of medetomidine, comprises and 2,3-dimethyl-methyl benzylalcohol and N-TMS imidazoles are reacted.The shortcoming of the method needs 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.Multi-step process from 2,3-xylic acid is expandable and safe for commercial production.For the preparation of medetomidine, this synthetic route is also economically feasible approach.
