Description

(54) 6,7 ,8 ,9-TETRAHYDRO-4H-NAPHTHOPYRAN-2-CARBOXYLI(: ACID DERIVATIVES AND A PROCESS FOR THEIR PRODUCTION (71) We, FISONS LIMITED, a British Company of Fison House, 9 Grosvenor Street, London W1X OAH, do hereby declare the invention, for which we pray that a patent may be granted to us, and the method by which it is to be performed to be particularly described in and by the following statement: According to the invention there is provided a process for the production of 5-amino-6,7,S,9-tetrahydro-4-oXo-10-propyl-4H-naphthoL2,3-b]pyran-2-carboxylic acid of tormula I,
or an ester thereof, which comprises the catalytic hydrogenation of 6,7,8,9-tetrahydro-5 nitro-4-oxo-10-propyl-4H-naphtho[2,3-b pyran-2-carboxylic acid of formula II,
or an ester thereof, using a precious metal catalyst other than palladium.
We prefer to produce an ester of 5-amino-6,7,8,9-tetrahydro-4-oxo-10-propyl-4H- naphtho[2,3-b]pyran-2-carboxylic acid from an ester of 6,7,8,9-tetrahydro-5-nitro-4-oxo-10 propyl4R-naphtho[2,3-b]-pyran-2-carboxylic acid.
The hydrogenation may be carried out at a temperature of from 20 to 100" and preferably 30 to 50"C.
The hydrogenation may be carried out in a solvent which is inert under the reaction conditions, e.g. a lower alkanol such as methanol, propanol, butanol or preferably ethanol; a lower alkyl ketone such as acetone or methyl ethyl ketone; an organic acid, e.g. a lower alkanoic acid such as acetic acid; or an ester, e.g. a lower alkyl ester such as ethyl acetate or propyl acetate. The solvent is preferably water miscible. A mixture of solvents may also be used. We prefer to use ethanol. The concentration of 6,7,8,9-tetrahydro-5-nitro-4-oxo-10 propyl-4H-naphtho[2,3-b]pyran-2-carboxylic acid, or the ester thereof, in the solvent is preferably not greater than 20% w/v.
The proportion of precious metal in the catalyst to the 6,7,8,9-tetrahydro-5-nitro-4-oxo- 10-propyl-4H-naptho[2,3-b]-pyran-2-carboxylic acid, or the ester thereof, may be in the range 0.1 to 5:100, preferably 0.1 to 1:100, e.g. 0.25.100 w/w.
The hydrogenation reaction is preferably carried out for the minimum time necessary to convert more than 95%, and preferably more than 98% of the starting material to a corresponding amino compound.
The hydrogenation reaction may be carried out at pressures of from 0 to 60, and preferably from 10 to 30 psig.
It is desirable that the hydrogenation reaction be carried out as rapidly as possible and we therefore prefer the reaction mixture to be vigourously agitated, e.g. by shaking or more preferably by stirring.
The catalyst may be a conventional precious metal hydrogenation catalyst other than a palladium catalyst. The catalyst, and the conditions under which it is used, are preferably such as to produce the optimum yield of the desired product and to avoid, in so far as is possible, the production of undesirable bi-products and in particular the chromanone analogue of 5-amino-6,7,8,9-tetrahydro-4-oxo-10-propyl-4H-naphtho[2,3-b]pyran-2- carboxylic acid (or of the ester thereof).
The catalyst may be supported on a suitable support,.e.g. carbon, alumina, barium sulphate or calcium carbonate.
In particular we have found that a platinum, e.g. a platinum on carbon catalyst is suitable, but other catalysts, and the optimum conditions under which they can be used, can be found by routine experimentation. Catalysts which may be mentioned include 5% Platinum on Carbon 5% Platinum on Carbon. 50% Moisture. Sulfided.
1% Platinum on Carbon. 50% Moisture 5% Platinum on Alumina 5% Rhodium on Carbon 5% Ruthenium on Alumina 5% Ruthenium on Carbon.
We prefer catalysts containing 1% or more of precious metal. The catalyst may if desired contain water. The catalyst may be improved by the addition of a small quantity of a strong acid, e.g. hydrochloric acid thereto.
Where the product is an ester of 5-amino-6,7,8,9-tetrahydro-4-oxo-10-propyl-4H- naphtho[2,3-b]pyran-2-carboxylic acid the ester may, if desired, be treated with acid and isolated as an acid addition salt thereof.
The acid with which the product 5-amino-6,7,8,9-tetrahydro-4-oxo-10-propyl-4H- naphtho[2,3-b]pyran-2-carboxylic acid ester is treated may be any strong acid which is not deleterious to the product compound and with which the product compound forms a salt, e.g. hydrochloric acid. The acid, when it is used, is preferably used in the proportion of at least one mole per mole of the 6,7,8,9-tetrahydro-5-nitro-4-oxo-10-propyl-4H-naphtho- [2,3-b]pyran-2-carboxylic acid ester used inthe reaction. We have surprisingly found that new compounds, i.e. the half acid addition salts, and notably the half hydrochloride, of the esters of the 5-amino-6,7,8,9-tetrahydro-4-oxo-10-propyl-4H-naphtho[2,3-b]-pyran-2- carboxylic acid may be produced by the process of the invention.
We have found that during the hydrogenation of an ester of the 6,7,8,9-tetrahydro-5 nitro-4-oXo-10-propyl-4H-naphtho[2,3-b]pyran-2-carboxylic acid to an ester of 5-amino 6,7 ,8,9-tetrahydro-4-oxo- 10-propyl-4R-naphtho[2,3-b]pyran-2-carboxylic acid a certain amount of the chromanone corresponding to the ester of the 5-amino-6,7,8,9-tetrahydro-4 oXo-10-propyl-4H-naphtho[2,3-b]pyran-2-carboxylic acid is produced. The ester of this corresponding chromanone does not form acid addition salts, and in particular does not form an acid addition salt with hydrochloric acid. When using a platinum catalyst the proportion of the chromanone produced can be minimised.
According to a further feature of the invention therefore we provide a method of separating a mixture of an ester of 5-amino-6,7,8,9-tetrahydro-4-oxo-10-propyl-4H- naphtho[2,3-b]pyran-2-carboxylic acid and a corresponding chromanone (in either free acid or ester form), which comprises treating the mixture with an acid, preferably a strong acid and more preferably hydrochloric acid, and isolating the ester of the 5-amino-6,7,8,9 tetrahydro-4-oxo-10-propyl-4H-naphtho[2 ,3-b]pyran-2-carboxylic acid as an acid addition salt thereof.
The isolation of the acid addition salt may be effected by recrystallisation and/or slurrying, e.g. from, or in, ethanol.
The hydrogenation may be carried out in apparatus conventionally used for catalytic hydrogenations, e.g. comprising a stirred reactor, but we prefer to carry out the hydrogenation in an apparatus comprising a self priming mixture jet. In such an apparatus the major part of the reaction takes place in the mixing jet and, because of the high shear forces prevailing, a higher rate of reaction occurs than in conventional stirred reactors. The reaction mixture is continuously circulated through the mixing jet. The apparatus is also provided with heat exchange units to ensure control of the temperature of the reaction mixture. One form of suitable apparatus is available from Buss, AG, Basel, Switzerland.
The process of the invention is advantageous in that greater yields, less loss of expensive catalyst, or less production of unwanted bi-products can be achieved.
In this specification and in the claims the term 'lower' is used to mean a group containing up to and including 6 carbon atoms.
The invention is illustrated, but in no way limited by the following Examples.
