Abstract

Busipirone of the formula is prepared in a new process wherein the 2-pyrimidinyl component thereof is introduced in a final alkylation step involving 2-halopyrimidines. Radioactive labelled busipirone can be obtained according to the process by employing 2-chloro- pyrimidine-<14>C 2-chloropyrimidine- <15> N2.

Description

In the above reaction schemes, the symbol n Is the integer 4 or 5, the symbol -A- represents a straight or branched divalent alkalene chain of two to six carbon atoms inclusive, the symbol B represents inter alia various heterocyclic radicals including 2-pyrimidinyl, the symbol X inter alia is chlorine, bromine, iodine, and the symbol M an alkali metal salt such as sodium or potassium.
The present process differs from methods of Wu, fit dl·, U.S. 3,717,636 in that the 2-pyrimidinyl fragment is introduced as a final step by direct alkylation of preformed 8-[4-(l-piperazinyl)butylj-8-azasplro[4.5]decane-7,9-dione with a 2-halopyrimidine.
Broadly described, this invention is concerned with a process for preparation of the pyrimidine compound 8-[4-[4-(2pyrimidinyl)-l-piperazinyl]butylJ-8-azaspiro[4.5]decane-7,9-dione also referred to herein by the United States Adopted Name buspirone see J. Amer. Med. Assoc., 225, 520 (1973). The present process provides a new and novel route for preparation of buspirone and more 14 14 particularly to a method for incorporating radioactive carbon ( C) and stable ^^nitrogen (^N) isotopes in specified positions of the pyrimidinyl component of buspirone. Labeled buspirone is useful in clinical investigation of the absorption and metabolic disposition of this anxiolytic agent.
The present invention relates to a process for preparation of 8-[4-[4-(2-pyrimidinyl)-l-piperazinyl]butyl]-8-azaspiro[4.5]decane-7,9-dione characterized by Formula I which comprises alkylating 8-[4-(l-piperazinyl)butyl]-8-azaspiro[4.5] decane-7,9-dione characterized by Formula II 51848 with a 2-halopyrimidine characterized by Formula III (III) wherein X is bromine, iodine or preferably chlorine in a reaction inert solvent at a temperature ranging from 80-170’C., preferably in a closed reaction vessel.
The foregoing process is particularly adaptable to the preparation of radioactive labeled buspirone and in that respect is both economical and convenient. As used herein, the term labeled refers to radioactive ( C) and stable ( N) Isotopes incorporated at specific positions of buspirone. Preferred embodiments of the foregoing process are those for the preparation of labeled buspirone wherein: the compound of Formula III is 2-chloropyrimidine labeled 14 in the 2 position with carbon isotope; the compound oi Formula III is 2-chloropyrimidine in which the 1,3-nitrogen atoms are labeled with 15nitrogen isotope. The labeled Formula III 2-halopyrimidines are obtained by condensation of appropriately labeled urea with malonaldehyde 519 4 8 bis(dimethylacetal) or malonaldehyde bis(diethylacetal) in the presence of acid to afford the corresponding 2-hydroxypyrimidine subsequently converted to the halo compound by means of phcsphorus oxyhalide such as phosphorus oxychloride or phosphorus oxybromide. By way of illus14 tration, the sequence starting with urea- C for preparation of *14 2-chloropyrimidine- C (Ilia) is depicted below.
The identical sequence starting with ureac pyrimidine- t»2 (Illb) ,, affords 2-chloro* (Illb) In carrying out the present process, any solvent which does not adversely affect the reaction as well as the reactants and the buspirone product may be used with the preferred solvent being an alkanol such as, for exanple, ethanol, n-propanol or isopropanol.
Generally a reaction temperature in the range of from about 80’C. to about 170°C. is operable, with the preferred temperature being in the range of from 110°C. to 120°C. Higher and lower temperatures may be used, but at a reaction temperature below 8Q°C, the 81848 reaction is unduly prolonged and adequate condensation does not occur whereas if the reaction temperature exceeds 170°C. the reactants tend to undergo decomposition to some extent. When the process is carried out at temperatures above the boiling point of the reaction solvent, a closed reaction vessel is preferably employed.
The hydrohalide evolved in the course of the reaction is taken up with an acid acceptor to conserve the basic 8-[4-(l-piperazinyl)butyl]-8-azaspiro[4.5]decane-7,9-dione reactant (XI). Xn this regard a tertiary amine such as triethylamine is preferred.
The process of this invention is further illustrated hy the following examples which are not to be construed as limiting the scope of the present invention.
