【発明が解決しようとする課題】
しかしながら、この従来技術では転換率が悪く、分離精製に手間がかかるため純度及び収率が余り満足すべきものではなく、工業的製法としては有利な方法とはいえなかった。

本発明者等は、かかる観点から、目的化合物である前記式(2)のメチルヒドロキシエチルイミダゾール誘導体を、高純度、高収率で製造できる工業的製造法を鋭意研究した結果、

で示される、2−n−プロピル−4−エトキシカルボニル−5−(1−ヒドロキシ−1−メチル)エチル−イミダゾールを製造する方法を見出し本発明を完成した。
【0015】
本発明の特徴は、従来技術中のメチルマグネシウムブロミドを、本発明では、メチルマグネシウムクロリドに代え、更に溶媒としてテトラヒドロフランばかりではなく、テトラヒドロフランと芳香族系溶媒との混合溶媒も使用出来るようにした点である。グリニヤール試薬のメチルマグネシウムブロミドを、メチルマグネシウムクロリドに代えることは僅かな相違のように思われるが、この変更により、従来技術の問題点、即ち転換率が悪く、分離精製に手間がかかるため、純度及び収率が低い等の問題点を、予想しなかったほど格段に改善出来ることを見出し本発明を完成するに至った。
【0016】
本発明で使用される芳香族系溶媒としては、例えば、ベンゼン、トルエン、キシレン等が挙げられるが、最も好ましい例としては、反応性、取り扱い易さの面等からトルエンが挙げられる。
【0017】
テトラヒドロフランと芳香族系溶媒は、テトラヒドロフラン単独で或いはテトラヒドロフラン及び芳香族系溶媒を併用することが出来、併用する場合の割合は特に限定されないが、通常、テトラヒドロフランを芳香族系溶媒よりも等量(容量)以上使用する方がよく、さらに好ましくは、テトラヒドロフラン:芳香族系溶媒の割合(容量)が2:1〜4:1である。
【0018】
メチルマグネシウムクロリドの、テトラヒドロフラン或いはテトラヒドロフラン及び芳香族系溶媒溶液からなるグリニヤール試薬溶液の調製法は、従来公知の方法で行うことが出来、例えば、容器中に、テトラヒドロフラン或いはテトラヒドロフラン及び芳香族系溶媒とマグネシウムを入れ、マグネシウムの表面を活性化するために有効な、少量のヨウ素、ヨウ化メチル或いはジブロムエタン等を添加し、マグネシウムを活性化させる。
【0019】
次いでテトラヒドロフラン或いはテトラヒドロフラン及び芳香族系溶媒を添加、希釈し、液温を20〜50℃、好ましくは30〜40℃に維持し、そこへ塩化メチルをマグネシウムに対して1.0倍当量以上吹き込むと、マグネシウムは消失し、メチルマグネシウムクロリドのグリニヤール試薬溶液が得られる。
【0020】
本発明の方法を更に詳細に説明すると、先に調製したメチルマグネシウムクロリドの、テトラヒドロフラン或いはテトラヒドロフラン及び芳香族系溶媒溶液であるグリニヤール試薬溶液に、前記式(1)で示される2−n−プロピル−4,5−ビス(エトキシカルボニル)イミダゾールのテトラヒドロフラン或いはテトラヒドロフラン及び芳香族系溶媒溶液を添加し、液温5〜30℃、好ましくは10〜20℃で反応させる。その際のグリニヤール試薬の量は、式(1)の2−n−プロピル−4,5−ビス(エトキシカルボニル)イミダゾールに対して3.0倍当量以上、好ましくは3.5〜5.0倍当量であればよい。又、テトラヒドロフラン或いはテトラヒドロフラン及び芳香族系溶媒の総量は、式(1)で示される2−n−プロピル−4,5−ビス(エトキシカルボニル)イミダゾールに対して、8〜11倍重量であればよい。また、加水分解する方法としては、水又はpH7以上のアルカリ性水溶液、例えば塩化アンモニウム水溶液又は水酸化アンモニウム水溶液等のアンモニウム水溶液を用いることが出来るが、アンモニウム水溶液のような弱アルカリ性水溶液の方が好ましい。

[0008]
There is a method in which 2-n-propyl-4,5-bis (ethoxycarbonyl) imidazole represented by the formula (1) is reacted with a tetrahydrofuran solution of methylmagnesium bromide (Japanese Patent Publication No. 7-121918).
[0009]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
However, this conventional technique has a low conversion rate and takes a lot of time for separation and purification, so the purity and yield are not very satisfactory, and it cannot be said that it is an advantageous method as an industrial production method.
[0010]
[Means for Solving the Problems]
From the above viewpoints, the present inventors have intensively studied an industrial production method capable of producing the target compound methylhydroxyethylimidazole derivative of the formula (2) with high purity and high yield,
In the presence of tetrahydrofuran or tetrahydrofuran and an aromatic solvent, the formula (1)
[0011]
[Chemical 6]

[0012]
It is hydrolyzed after reacting 2-n-propyl-4,5-bis (ethoxycarbonyl) imidazole represented by the following formula with methylmagnesium chloride in tetrahydrofuran or tetrahydrofuran and a Grignard reagent solution as an aromatic solvent solution. By formula (2)
[0013]
[Chemical 7]
Figure 0004260241
[0014]
The present invention was completed by finding a process for producing 2-n-propyl-4-ethoxycarbonyl-5- (1-hydroxy-1-methyl) ethyl-imidazole represented by the following formula.
[0015]
The feature of the present invention is that methylmagnesium bromide in the prior art is replaced with methylmagnesium chloride in the present invention, and not only tetrahydrofuran but also a mixed solvent of tetrahydrofuran and an aromatic solvent can be used as a solvent. It is. Replacing the Grignard reagent methylmagnesium bromide with methylmagnesium chloride seems to be a slight difference, but this change causes problems with the prior art, i.e. poor conversion and laborious separation and purification. In addition, the inventors have found that problems such as low yield can be improved as much as unexpected, and have completed the present invention.
[0016]
Examples of the aromatic solvent used in the present invention include benzene, toluene, xylene and the like. Most preferred examples include toluene from the viewpoint of reactivity and ease of handling.
[0017]
Tetrahydrofuran and an aromatic solvent can be used alone or in combination with tetrahydrofuran and an aromatic solvent, and the ratio of the combined use is not particularly limited. The ratio (volume) of tetrahydrofuran: aromatic solvent is preferably 2: 1 to 4: 1.
[0018]
A preparation method of a Grignard reagent solution comprising methylmagnesium chloride in tetrahydrofuran or tetrahydrofuran and an aromatic solvent solution can be carried out by a conventionally known method. For example, tetrahydrofuran or tetrahydrofuran and an aromatic solvent and magnesium in a container. And a small amount of iodine, methyl iodide, dibromoethane or the like effective for activating the surface of magnesium is added to activate magnesium.
[0019]
Next, tetrahydrofuran or tetrahydrofuran and an aromatic solvent are added and diluted. When the liquid temperature is maintained at 20 to 50 ° C., preferably 30 to 40 ° C., methyl chloride is blown into the magnesium at 1.0 times or more equivalent to magnesium. The magnesium disappears and a Grignard reagent solution of methylmagnesium chloride is obtained.
[0020]
The method of the present invention will be described in more detail. To the Grignard reagent solution, which is the previously prepared methylmagnesium chloride, tetrahydrofuran or tetrahydrofuran and an aromatic solvent solution, 2-n-propyl- Tetrahydrofuran or tetrahydrofuran and an aromatic solvent solution of 4,5-bis (ethoxycarbonyl) imidazole are added, and the reaction is performed at a liquid temperature of 5 to 30 ° C, preferably 10 to 20 ° C. The amount of the Grignard reagent in that case is 3.0 times equivalent or more, preferably 3.5 to 5.0 times the 2-n-propyl-4,5-bis (ethoxycarbonyl) imidazole of the formula (1). The equivalent is sufficient. The total amount of tetrahydrofuran or tetrahydrofuran and the aromatic solvent may be 8 to 11 times the weight of 2-n-propyl-4,5-bis (ethoxycarbonyl) imidazole represented by the formula (1). . As a method for hydrolysis, water or an alkaline aqueous solution having a pH of 7 or higher, for example, an aqueous ammonium solution such as an aqueous ammonium chloride solution or an aqueous ammonium hydroxide solution can be used, but a weak alkaline aqueous solution such as an aqueous ammonium solution is preferred.

[Example 1]
A 4-necked flask purged with nitrogen is charged with 30.2 g of magnesium and 45.3 g of tetrahydrofuran. Further, 0.2 g of methyl iodide is added, and the reaction is started by slowly heating to 50 ° C. to activate magnesium. Next, 276.7 g of tetrahydrofuran and 137.6 g of toluene are added and diluted. While maintaining the liquid temperature at 40 ° C., 30 mL of methyl chloride gas was blown at a rate of 125 ml / min to prepare a Grignard reagent solution. At this time, magnesium is almost lost. A solution prepared by dissolving 69.9 g of 2-n-propyl-4,5-bis (ethoxycarbonyl) imidazole in 122.4 g of tetrahydrofuran and 52.4 g of toluene was added to a previously prepared Grignard reagent solution at 15 to 20 ° C. Allow to react for 15 minutes. The obtained reaction solution is added to 1,068 g of 20% aqueous ammonium chloride solution and hydrolyzed. The organic layer was washed with water, concentrated, recrystallized, filtered, washed and dried to give 63 g of the target compound 2-n-propyl-4-ethoxycarbonyl-5- (1-hydroxy-1-methyl) ethyl-imidazole. (Purity 97.5%, yield 93.0%) was obtained.
