Abstract

???-6-Deoxy-5-hydroxytetracycline is made by simultaneously dehalogenating and hydrogenating a salt or complex of 11a-bromo-6-demethyl- 6-deoxy-6-methylene-5-hydroxytetracyline by means of hydrogen, using rhodium as a catalyst and L(+)-ascorbic acid as a stereospecific reduction mediator.

Description

SPECIFICATION Preparation of a-6-deoxy-5-hydroxytetracycline The present invention relates to a process for preparing a a-6-deoxy-5-hydroxytetracycline. This compound has the generic name Doxycycline and is a well-known broad spectrum antibiotic for use in the treatment of various infectious diseases.
It is well-known that 6-methylenetetracycline and 11 halo-6-methylenetetracyclines, esp.ecially 11 achlorn-6-methylenetetrncycline, especially 11 achlorn-6-methylenetetracycline, as well as acid salts and polyvalent metal complexes thereof, can be reduced by means of hydrogen, by heterogeneous catalysis in the presence of noble metals, to yield a- and ss-6-deoxytetracyclines in approximately equal ratios (US-PS 3,200,1 49). As only the a-isomer is of importance in medicine, several new methods and modifications of known methods were developed later, with the main purpose of obtaining quantities of the a-isomer which are as large as possible.By poisoning noble metals as catalysts (US-PS 3,444,198) or by employing them on special supports (PT-PS 52,217), a slightly larger quantity of the a-isomer than the p-isomer can be obtained. Further known disclosures relate to the use as catalysts of palladium on carbon, with hydrazine as the hydrogen source (DE-PS 2,131,944), or palladium on carbon, having a large surface area and a particle size under 1 A (HU-PS 12,042), as well as reduction with platinum oxide (DE-PS 2,136,621 and GB-PS 1,296,340). It appears that good results can be achieved by using rhodium on carbon in the presence of N-methyl pyrrolidone, triphenylphosphine and, as promoters, acids or SnCI2 (DE-PS 2,418,499).
In addition to heterogeneous catalysis, hydrogenation using homogeneous catalysis, hydrogenation using homogeneous catalysts is also known. Preferred examples of these include rhodium halo complexes containing tertiary phosphines, arsines or stilbenes as ligands (US-PS 3,639,439 and DE-PS 2,308,227 and 2,446,587), chlorobisethylenerhodium dimer with triphenylphosphine (DE-PS 2,403,714) and rhodium diacetate with phenylphosphine (DE-PS 2,554,564).
There is a very interesting method whereby 6-methylene-5-hydroxytetracycline is reduced to a6-deoxy-5-hydroxytetracycline in the presence of dicobalt octacarbonyl, triphenylphosphine and hydrochloric acid, without hydrogen, in an inert atmosphere of nitrogen or argon (US-PS 3,907,890).
It has now been found, in accordance with the present invention, that 11 bromo-6-demethyl- 6-deoxy-6-methylene-5-hydroxytetracycline in the form of a salt or complex (such as its sulphosalicylate) can be dehalogenated and hydrogenated in a single step by means of hydrogen in the presence of rhodium as catalyst and L( + )-ascorbic acid as a stereospecific reduction mediator, according to the following reaction scheme::
CH2 OH NICH3)2 OF' RhIC CONH2 LR ascorbic OH g Br g g acid H3C H OH NICH )2 > OH OH O OH O According to a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the reaction is carried out in the presence of 0.1-0.3 mole of 5% rhodium on carbon and 1 mole or mole-equivalent of L( + )-ascorbic acid, per mole of 11 bromo-6-demethyl-6-deoxy-6-methylene-5-hydroxytetracy- dine. The reaction product is practically exclusively a-6-deoxy-5-hydroxytetracycline. The reduction is stereo-specific to such an extent that any changes in the amount of reactant, catalyst or mediator result in obtaining larger quantities of the p-isomer or other compounds, such as anhydro derivatives or 6-demethyl-6-deoxy-6-methylene-5-hyd roxytetracycline.
Preferably, the reaction is carried out in a C14 alkanol as the reaction medium, under a pressure of 3-30 atms and, most preferably, 3-20 atms at ambient or elevated temperature.
The advantage of the present process, in addition to its excellent reaction stereospecificity, is its simple mode of execution, using a simple, widely-available and completely harmless mediator.
The invention is illustrated by the following Examples: Example 1 A solution of 11 a-bromo-6-demethyl-6-deoxy-6-methylene-5-hydroxytetracycline sulphosalicylate (740 mg, 1 mmole) in methanol (75 ml) was added to a de-aerated suspension of 5% rhodium on carbon (1.12 g) and L(+)-ascorbic acid (176 mg, 1 mmole) in methanol (75 ml).
The reaction mixture was then de-aerated under the same conditions and hydrogenated for 3 hours under a pressure of 5 atms and at ambient temperature.
After filtering off the catalyst, the filtrate was evaporated to dryness. The residue was dissolved in water and partitioned by chloroform. The aqueous layer was evaporated to a smaller volume (about 5 ml) and left overnight at 0 C. The crystalline product was filtered off by suction and washed with ethanol. 300 mg of the product was obtained (63% with reference to the base). Thin layer chromatography showed the presence practically solely of a-6-deoxy-5-hydroxytetracycline.
For analysis, the product was purified by conventional methods. All analytical data were identical with the data obtained for an authentic sample.
Example 2 The process was carried out as in Example 1, with the only difference that ethanol was used instead of methanol. The yield was the same as in Example 1.
Example 3 The process was carried out as in Example 1, with the only difference that isopropanol was used instead of methanol. The yield was the same as in Example 1.
Example 4 The process was carried out as in Example 1, with the only difference that 0.450 g of 5% rhodium on carbon was used instead of 1.1 2 g of the same catalyst. The yield was 270 mg.
Example 5 The process was carried out as in Example 4, with the only difference that the reaction was carried out under a pressure of 20 atms. The yield was 293 mg.
Example 6 The process was carried out as in Example 1, with the only differences that the reaction was carried out under a pressure of 20 atms and with the reaction time reduced to 1 hour. The yield was the same as in Example 1.
Example 7 The process was carried out as in Example 1, with the only difference that the reaction was carried out under a pressure of 15 atms. The yield was 316 mg (67% with reference to the base).
Example 8 The process was carried out as in Example 1, with the only differences that the reaction took place under a pressure of 3 atms and at a temperature of 40"C. The yield was the same as in Example 1.
