Abstract

S- alpha -Ethyl-2-oxo-1-pyrrolidineacetamide prepared by hydrogenolysis of (S)- alpha - [2-(methylthio)ethyl]-2-oxo-1- pyrrolidineacetamide in the presence of a desulphurizing reagent such as NaBH4/NiCl2.6H2O, Raney nickel W-2 or, preferably, Raney nickel T-1. (S)- alpha -ethyl-2-oxo-1-pyrrolidineacetamide is useful in the treatment and prevention of hypoxic and ischemic type aggressions of the central nervous system.

Description

A process for the preParation of (S)-a-ethyl-2- oro- 1-yrro1idineacetamide.
The present invention relates to a new process for the preparation of (S)-a-ethyl.2-oxo-l-pyrrolidineacetamide which has the formula
U.S. Patents No. 4,696,943 and No. 4,837,223 in the name of the Applicant describe this compound, which has the absolute S configuration and state that it has particular therapeutic properties which completely unexpectedly distinguish it from the racemic form. Thanks to its properties, the S enantiomer is more suitable than the racemic form for the treatment and prevention of hypoxic and ischemic type aggressions of the central nervous system.
The preparation of (S)-a-ethyl-2-oxo-l-pyrrolidineacetamide is described in the above mentioned U.S. Patents No. 4,696,943 and No.
4,837,223. According to these patents, the compound cannot be obtained directly from the racemic mixture by separation of the two enantiomers.
It has to be prepared by other methods, and these U.S. patents specifically describe two processes for the preparation of the compound.
In the first process, (S)-a-ethyl-2-oxo-l-pyrrolidineacetic acid is reacted successively with an alkyl haloformate, preferably ethyl chloroformate, and with ammonia. In the second process, an alkyl (S)-4 [[l-(aminocarbonyl)propyljamino]butyrate or an (S)-N-[1 (aminocarbonyl)propyl]-4-halobutanamide is cyclized, the two compounds themselves being prepared from (S)-2-aminobutanamide.
These two processes have in common the same disadvantage. Both require the preparation of a starting reactant which already has the correct stereochemical configuration. This starting reactant is obtained by resolution of the corresponding racemic compound, respectively racemic (t)-a-ethyl-2-oxo-l-pyrrolidineacetic acid in the case of the first process and racemic (')-2-amino-butanamide in the case of the second process. Prior separation of the enantiomer with the desired configuration from the corresponding racemic compound necessarily causes, from the beginning, a loss of 50Z of the raw material employed.Moreover, if it is taken into account that recovery of an optical isomer is rarely carried out in a quantitative yield, the total loss of raw material incurred is much greater than 50Z of the starting racemic compound.
A process which would not have this disadvantage, while remaining relatively easy to carry out, would be extremely desirable.
The present invention thus provides a new process for the preparation of (S)-a-ethyl-2-ozo-1-pyrrolidineacetamide which does not have the disadvantage of the previous processes and which, as a consequence, is more economical. Moreover, this new process also offers the advantage of using a naturally occurring amino acid, L-methionine, or its readily accessible amide as the starting material.
The process according to the present invention for the preparation of (S) a-ethyl-2-oxo-l-pyrrolidineacetamide comprises hydrogenolysis of (S)-a- [2- (methylthio ) ethyl] 2-oxo-l-pyrrolidineacetamide by means of a desulphurizing reagent, in accordance with the equation
The desulphurization of (S) -a- (methylthio)ethyl ]-2-oxo-l- pyrrolidineacetamide is stereoselective. This reaction is generally carried out in water at a temperature between 50 en 100C in the presence of a desulphurizing reagent such as NaBH4!NiCl2.6H20 (R.B. BOAR et al., J.Chem.Soc., Perkin Trans.I (1973),654), Raney nickel W-2 or, preferably, Raney nickel T-1 under normal or increased pressure (X. DOMINGUEZ et al., J.Org.Chem.26,(1961),1625).
The (S )-a- [2-(methylthio)ethyl].2-oxo-l.pyrrolidineacetamide which is the starting compound in this process is a new compound. It can be prepared by one or other of the following two methods: 1) reacting (S)-2-amino-4-(methylthio)butanamide hydrochloride with a 4 halobutyryl halide of the formula HalCH2CH2CH2COHal in which Hal is a halogen atom, preferably a chlorine atom, in accordance with the equation
This reaction is generally carried out in an inert solvent, for example dichloromethane, at a temperature of about OOC in the presence of a catalyst, such as tetrabutylammonium bromide in the presence of powdered potassium hydroxide.
2) a) reacting first (S)-2-amino-4-(methylthio)butanamide with an alkyl 4-halobutyrate of the formula XCH2CH2CH2COOR. in wich X is a halogen atom and R is an alkyl radical having 1 to 4 carbon atoms, in accordance with the equation
This reaction is generally carried out by heating for several hours at a temperature between 80 and 1000C in an inert solvent, such as toluene, in the presence of an acid acceptor such as a tertiary organic base, such as, for example, triethylamine.
b) then cyclizing the alkyl (S)-4-[[l-(aminocarbonyl)-3 (methylthio)propyl]amino]-butyrate obtained in step a), in accordance with the equation
This cyclization is generally carried out in an inert solvent, such as for example toluene or :ylene, by heating at a temperature between 100 and 1300C for several hours in the presence of a catalyst, such as 2-hydro:ypyridine.
(S)-2-Amino-4-(methylthio)butanamide, as the free base, can be prepared from L-methionine according to the method of E. SANDRIN and R.A.

84 g of anhydrous sodium sulphate are added to a suspension of 92.25 g (0.5 mole) of (S)-2-amino4.(methylthio)butanamide in 600 ml of dichloromethane at room temperature. The mixture is then cooled to 0 C and 115 g of ground potassium hydroxide and 8.1 g (0.025 mole) of tetrabutylammonium bromide dissolved in 100 ml of dichloromethane are added in succession. A solution containing 77.5 g (0.55 mole) of 4-chlorobutyryl chloride in 100 ml of dichloromethane is added dropwise at the same temperature, and with vigorous stirring. During the addition, the reaction medium is diluted by simultaneous introduction of 550 ml of dichloromethane. After stirring at OOC for two hours, 29 g of ground potassium hydroxide are added to the mixture.After four and a half hours'reaction, a further 29 g of ground potassium hydroxide are added and stirring is continued for one hour at OOC.
The reaction mixture is then filtered over Hyflocel and the filtrate is evaporated under reduced pressure. The residue is purified by chromatography over silica (eluent: mixture of dichloromethane-methanol-ammonia 95.5:4.5:0.2 vlvlv). 66 g of (S) a- (2- (methylthio ) ethyl] -2-oxo-1-pyrrolidineacetamide are obtained 25 in the form of a white powder.

The solvent is then evaporated off under reduced pressure and the residue is taken up in 100 ml of dichloromethane. The mixture is heated under reflux for 30 minutes and filtered hot. The filtrate is evaporated to dryness and the residue obtained is purified by chromatography over silica (eluent: mixture of ethyl acetate-methanol-ammonia 10:0.1:0.1 vlvlv). 6.2 g of ethyl (S)-4-[[l-(aminocarbonyl)-3 (methylthio)propyl]amino]butyrate are thus obtained.
