Description

PIPERAZINE DERIVATIVES AND PROCESS FOR THE PREPARATION THEREOF This invention relates to a new and improved process for the preparation of pharmaceutical- ly active piperazine derivatives and to new intermediates useful in the preparation thereof and also to a process for the preparation of the said intermediates.
According to an aspect of the present invention there is provided a process for the preparation of the therapeutically active kno-wn 8-{4-[ 4-(2-pyriinidinyl) -1- -piperazinyl]-butyl}-8-aza-1-spiro[4.5]-decane-7,9 -dione of the Formula I.
It is known that the 8-{ 4-f 4-(2-pyrimidinyl) -1-piperazinyl]-butyl}-8-aza-spiro[4.5]decane-7,9-dione of the Formula I possesses valuable anxioselective properties (UK Patent No. 1,332,194). In prior art several methods are disclosed for the preparation of the compound of the Formula I.
According to UK patent No. 1,332,194 the compound of the Formula I is prepared by reacting 8-oxa-spiro[4.5]decane-7,9-dione with 1-(4-aminobutyl) -4-(2'-pyrimidinyl)-piperazine. The reaction is accomplished in pyridine at the boiling point of the reaction mixture. The desired compound of the Formula I is obtained in crude form with medium yield. The crude product is purified in the free base form by crystallization or fractional distillation in vacua. The drawback of the above first purification method is that the losses are significant while fractional distillation in vacuo is carried out at high temperature (240-265 0c) under low pressure (13.3 Pa), which constitutes a severe thermal load and leads to decomposition of the product.
According to an other method disclosed in UK patent No. 1,332,194 8-(4-chlorobutyl)-8-aza-spiro f4.S7decane-7,9-dione is reacted with N-(2-pyrimidinyl) -piperazine in the presence of sodium carbonate in n -butanol at the boiling point of the reaction mixture for 3 days. The extremely long reaction time makes the process unsuitable for economical industrial scale manufacture. A further disadvantage is that the product can be purified but with the aid of complicated and circumstantial methods. A still further drawback resides in the fact that the l-bromo-4-chloro-butane used as starting material in the preparatipn of 8-(4-chlorobutyl)-8-aza-spiro[4.5]decane-7,9-dione is very difficult te obtain and which can be prepared only by means of complicated methods.
According to a still further process disclosed in UK patent No. 1,332,194 8-oxa-spirof4.57 decane-7,9-dione is first converted into 8-aza-spiro [4.5]decane-7,9-dione. The 1-(4-chlorobutyl)-4-(2 -pyrimidinyl) - piperazine prepared from N-(2-pyrimidinyl) -piperazine and l-bromo-4-chloro-butane is reacted with 8-aza-spiro[4,5]decane-7,9-dione. This process comprises several steps which are very delicate and can be carried out only under serious difficulties. The compound of the Formula I thus obtained is suitable for pharmaceutical purposes only after severalfold purification. A further drawback resides in the poor availability of the 1-bromo- 4- chloro-butane used as starting material.
The l-(4-aminobutyl) -4-(2-pyrimidinyl) -piperazine can be prepared by reacting 1-(2-pyrimidinyl)- -piperazine with 3-chloropropionitrile in n-butanol as medium at the boiling point of the reaction mixture for a longer period of time (the reaction time is 16 hours). The intermediate thus obtained must be subjected to purification by crystallization (yield 70 %). The intermediate nitrile is catalytically hydrogenated under pressure with a yield of about 70 % (UK patent No.
1,332,194).
In Rungarian patent No. 187,999 a further process is set forth. The compound of the Formula I is prepared as follows: from 1-(4-chlorobutyl)-4-(2- -pyrimidinyl) -piperazine first the spiro quaternary ammonium piperazine derivative of the Formula IX
is prepared which is reacted with 8-aza-spiroE 4, - decane-7,9-dione in the presence of a strong base.
This process is accompanied by a number of drawbacks.
Thus the yield is low, the synthesis is a multi step process and the contaminated product obtained can only be purified with difficulty.
According to Swiss patent No. 647,518 8-aza-spiro[4.5]decane-7,9-dione is first reacted with 1,4-dibromo-butane, the 4-bromo-bu-tyl -derivative thus obtained is treated with piperazine, whereupon the product thus obtained is reacted with 2-chloro -pyrimidine. The object of this process is to prepare a compound labelled with 14O isotope and is therefore but of theoretical importance.
According to Spanish patent No. 536,286 the potassium salt of 8-aza-spiro[4.5]decane-7,9- dione is reacted with 4-cnloro-butyraldehyde,where- upon the product thus obtained is reacted with N-(2 -pyrimidinyl) -pfperazine under reductive conditions.
This process is of mere academical significance too and is unsuitable for industrial scale manufacture.
It is the object of the present invention to provide a process which overcomes the drawbacks of the above known methods and enables the favourable preparation of the compound of the Formula I on industrial scale too by using readily available starting materials. It is a further object of the present invention to provide a process which gives the desired compound of the Formula I with good yields and in high purity.
According to the present invention there is provided a process for the preparation of 8-I4-C4-(2- -pyrinidinyl) -l-piperazinyl7-buty1) 8-aza-spirof4.57 decane-7,9-dione of the Formula I and pharmaceutically acceptable acid addition salts thereon which comprises hydrogenating a compound of the general Formula II

The 8-aza-spiro[4.5]decane-7,9-dione-8 -prop-2-ine of the Formula III used as starting material in the above procedures is a known compound.
According to a still further aspect of the present invention there is provided a process for the preparation of 8-aza-spiro[4.5]decane-7,9-dione- -8-prop-2-ine of the Formula III which comprises reacting 8-aza-spiro[4.5]decane-7,9-dione of the Formula X
with a propargyl halide of the general Formula XI Hal- CH2- C=CH (XI) (wherein Hal stands for bromine, chlorine or iodine) in an inert solvent, in the presence of an acid binding agent.
It is known that the 8-aza-spiro[4.5]- decane-7,9-dione-8-prop-2-ine of the Formula III can be prepared by heating a mixture of 8-oxa-spiro[4.5]- decane-7,9-dione and propargyl amine in pyridine to boiling for 15 hours, evaporating the dilute reaction mixture and purifying the residue by distillation in vacuo fyao-Gua Wu et al: J. Med. Chem. 12, 876-881 (1969) 7. The compound of the Formula III is obtained with a yield of 76 %.
The above process is accompanied by several drawbacks which are particularly serious on industrial scale manufacture. The reaction time is very long (15 hours) and the temperature used is high (above 115 C).
The specific utilization of the volume of the reactor is unfavourable. The treatment,recovery and elimination of the pyridine used as solvent is problematic and comprises serious hazards of environmental pollution.
A further disadvantage resides in the fact that propargyl amine used as starting material is a difficult-to-obtain expensive substance.
It is a further object of the present invention to overcome the above drawbacks of the known procedures and to elaborate an economical process for the peparation of tne compound of the Formula III which is favourably feasible on industrial scale as well.
The present invention is based on the recognition that on reacting 8-aza-spirof'4.S7decane- -7dione of the Formula X with a propargyl halide of the Formula XI the compound of the Formula III is obtained with good yields and in high purity in a readily feasible simple manner.
As compound of the general Formula XI preferably propargyl bromide may be used.
Tne starting materials of the Formulae X and XI can be used in equimolar amounts but the propargyl halide of the general Formula XI can be applied in a small - 10-20 molar % - excess as well.
The reaction can be carried out in any suitable inert organic solvent. As reaction medium any organic solvent can be used which does not enter into reaction with the components and does not influence the reaction in an adverse manner. It is preferred to use an ether (e.g. tetrahydrofuran , dioxane etc.), ester (e.g. ethyl acetate), nitrile (e,g. acetonitrile) or ketone (e.g. acetone or methyl ethyl ketone) or a mixture thereof as reaction medium.
The reaction is carried out in the presence of an acid binding agent, For this purpose preferably an alkali carbonate (particularly sodium o- potassium carbonate) can be used but other inorganic bases can be applied as well, e.g. an alkaline earth metal carbonate (e.g. calcium carbonate), an alkali hydrogen carbonate (e.g. sodium or potassium hydrogen carbonate), an alkali hydride (e.g. sodium hydride) or alkali amide (e.g. sodium amide etc.). Furthermore, tertiary organic bases can also be used as acid binding agent (e.g. trialkyl amines, such as triethyl amine).
The reaction temperature can vary between wde ranges. Thus one may generally work at 45-110 C, preferably at 55-100 C. The reaction temperature depends on the solvent used.
The reaction takes place very rapidly, the reaction time amounts to a few hours.
The reaction mixture can be worked up in a very simple manner. Thus, one may proceed by cooling the reaction mixture, removing the insoluble substances (alkali carbonate, alkali halide) by filtration or centrifuging arid evaporating the filtrate0 Thus, the compound of the Formula III is obtained in highly pure form which can be used for the further reactions directly without further purification. The sample of analytic purity of the product is obtained by fractional distillation in vacuo.
The advantages of the above process of the present invention can be summarized as follows: - no long reaction time is required; - the reaction can be accomplished at a temperature not exceeding 100 C; - no pyridine is used and therefore the difficulties which accompany the recovery and elimination of this solvent are overcome - the process is more favourable to the environment, - the process is readily feasible on industrial scale, too; - the specific utilization of the apparatus is favourable, - the yield is very - the desired compound of the Formula III is obtained in highly pure form and can be used for the further reaction directly, without further purification.
