Description

The preparation method of citalopram
The application is the dividing an application of PCT/DK99/00581 application for a patent for invention of the same title submitted on October 25th, 1999, and original application enters the China national stage June 22 calendar year 2001, and obtains Chinese patent application numbers 99814896.2.
Technical field
The antidepressant drug citalopram that the present invention relates to know, be 1-[3-(dimethylamino) propyl group]-1-(4-fluorophenyl)-1, the preparation method of 3-dihydro-5-isobenzofurancarboniderivatives.
Background of invention
Citalopram is the thymoleptic of knowing, and has gone on the market for many years, has following array structure:
Formula I
It is a selectivity central action thrombotonin (serotonin; Therefore 5-HT) reuptake inhibitor has antidepressant activity.The antidepressant activity of this compound is existing report in many pieces of documents, J.Hyttel for example, Prog.Neuro-Psychopharmcol.﹠amp; Biol.Psychiat. (" nerve-psychopharmacology and biological psychiatry progress ") 1982,6,277-295 and A.Gravem, Acta Psychiatr.Scand. (" Scandinavia psychiatry journal ") 1987,75,478-486.It is effective to the treatment of dull-witted and cerebrovascular disease that EP-A 474580 further discloses this compound.
Citalopram is disclosed in DE 2,657 for the first time, in 271, is equivalent to US 4,136,193.This patent gazette has been described a kind of preparation method of citalopram, has summarized the another kind of method that can be used for preparing citalopram.
According to described method, in the presence of methanesulfinyl methide condensing agent, make corresponding 1-(4-fluorophenyl)-1, the reaction of 3-dihydro-5-isobenzofurancarboniderivatives and 3-(N, N-dimethylamino) propyl chloride.Raw material is from the prepared in reaction of corresponding 5-br-derivatives and cuprous cyanide.
According to the method for only doing general general introduction, in the presence of dewatering agent, by the ring closure of following compounds
Formula II
With cuprous cyanide exchange 5-bromine group, can obtain citalopram subsequently.Formula II raw material obtains by two step successive Grignard reactions from 5-bromo-2-benzo [c] furanone, just respectively with 4-fluorophenyl magnesium chloride and N, N-dimethylamino-propyl magnesium chloride.
US Patent No 4,650,884 have described preparation method and intermediate novel and surprising citalopram, according to this method, the following formula intermediate
Figure C0316503300062
Formula III
By with the strength sulfuric acid dehydration, carry out ring-closure reaction, to obtain citalopram.The formula III intermediate prepares by two step successive Grignard reactions from 5-cyano group-2-benzo [c] furanone, just respectively with 4-fluorophenyl magnesium halide and N, the reaction of N-dimethylamino-propyl magnesium halide.
Further method is disclosed among international patent application Nos.WO 98019511, WO 98019512 and the WO 98019513.WO 98019512 and WO 98019513 relate to such method, make 5-amino-, the 5-carboxyl-or 5-(secondary amino group carbonyl)-2-benzo [c] furanone carries out two step successive Grignard reactions, ring closure and with gained 1,3-dihydroisobenzofuran derivative is converted into corresponding 5-cyano compound, i.e. citalopram.International patent application No.WO 98019511 discloses a kind of preparation method of citalopram, wherein make (4-replaces-and 2-hydroxymethyl phenyl-(4-fluorophenyl) carbinol compound carries out ring closure, the 1-(4-fluorophenyl)-1 that gained 5-replaces, the 3-dihydroisobenzofuran is converted into corresponding 5-cyano derivative, the latter is with the alkylation of (3-dimethylamino) propyl group halogenide, to obtain citalopram.
At last, the method for indivedual enantiomers of preparation citalopram is disclosed in US Patent No 4,943, in 590, can also find out obviously that therefrom the ring closure of formula III intermediate can be undertaken by unsettled ester and alkali.
Find shockingly that now utilize suitable raw material, citalopram can be prepared by novel, smooth and safe method.
Summary of the invention
Therefore, the present invention relates to the preparation method of novel citalopram, comprise formula IV compound
Figure C0316503300071
Formula IV
Wherein R is C 1-6Alkyl, acyl group, C 1-6Alkyl sulphonyl or aryl sulfonyl,
With 3-(N, N-dimethylamino) propyl group magnesium halide, be preferably 3-(N, N-dimethylamino) propyl group magnesium chloride, obtain citalopram
Formula I
Separate and obtain alkali or its pharmacy acceptable salt.
The present invention provides novel formula IV intermediate on the other hand.
The present invention relates to the method for preparation formula IV intermediate aspect further.
The present invention also has another aspect, and formula IV compound is used for the preparation of formula III racemic compound.
Formula III
The present invention relates to medicine composition for treating depression on the other hand, wherein comprises the citalopram according to the inventive method preparation.
According to method of the present invention, citalopram obtains from formula IV compound by the single step Grignard reaction, and R is C among the formula IV 1-6Alkyl, acyl group, C 1-6Alkyl sulphonyl or aryl sulfonyl
Figure C0316503300082
Formula IV
Surprisingly, the Grignard reaction product spontaneously carries out ring closure, directly obtains citalopram, and therefore, being reflected in the step of formula IV compound and Grignard reagent generates citalopram.
And according to the present invention, formula IV compound can be prepared by three kinds of diverse ways.
One of these methods comprise the protection of the methylol alcohol of formula VI's (4-cyano group-2-hydroxymethyl phenyl) (4-fluorophenyl) methyl alcohol:
Oxidation then obtains formula IV compound, and wherein R is C 1-6Alkyl, acyl group, C 1-6Alkyl sulphonyl or aryl sulfonyl.
The oxidation of formula V compound can be carried out with any conventional oxidant, preferably uses Na 2WO 4Carry out.
Formula VI raw materials of compound can be prepared as described in international patent application No.PCT/DK97/00511.
The method of another kind of preparation formula IV compound comprises 5-cyano group-2-benzo [c] furanone and 4-fluorophenyl magnesium halide, is preferably the reaction of 4-fluorophenyl magnesium bromide, react with R-X then, wherein R is as defined above, X is a leavings group, preferably R-X is a pivalyl chloride, 3,5-dimethoxy-benzoyl chloride, methyl-iodide, monobromoethane, toluene sulfonyl chloride, Me 2SO 4Or MeSO 2Cl.
This reaction is described below:
Raw material 5-cyano group-2-benzo [c] furanone can be as Tirouflet J., 26,1959,35 described preparations of Bull.Soc.Sci. (" section association circular ") Bretagne.
According to the method for the third preparation formula IV compound, a kind of enantiomer of formula III compound, be that the R-enantiomer is protected and dehydration, obtain formula VII compound, latter's oxidation obtains the ketone of formula IV.
Figure C0316503300101
In this manner, the R-enantiomer of formula III can be used for the preparation of racemize citalopram.
The oxicracking of formula VII compound is undertaken by oxygenizement, preferably uses MnO 4 -(permanganate) or ozone, RuCl 3, OsO 4Carry out.
Citalopram as the thymoleptic listing is the form of racemoid.But, in the near future, the active S-enantiomer of citalopram also plans to introduce market.
The active S-enantiomer of citalopram can prepare like this, from the formula III compound, separates S-enantiomer and R-enantiomer, carries out the ring closure of S-enantiomer then, as described in US Patent No 4943590.The R-enantiomer of formula III compound was not used after separation in the past
And according to further aspect of the present invention, after the R-of formula III enantiomer was converted into the photoactive formula IV compound of irrotationality, the racemic compound of formula III can as described belowly be prepared:
Figure C0316503300102
The racemic compound of formula III can be separated into the enantiomer of optically active according to US Patent No 4943590 described operations, thereby obtains the S-enantiomer of formula III compound, and the latter is used for the preparation of S-citalopram.The R-enantiomer of formula III compound can reclaim in above-mentioned circulation means once more.
In this manner, the R-enantiomer of formula III can be converted into the S-citalopram.
Other reaction conditionss, solvent etc. that are used for above-mentioned reaction are the normal conditions of this class reaction, are easily determined by those skilled in the art.
