Abstract

Provided are processes and intermediates for the synthesis of O- desmethylvenlafaxine.

Description

PROCESS FOR THE SYNTHESIS OF 0-DESMETILVENLAFAXINA FIELD OF THE INVENTION The invention comprises a process for the synthesis of 0-desmethylvenlafaxine.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION Venlafaxine, (±) -1- [2- (Dimethylamino) -1- (-methoxyphenyl) -ethyl] cyclohexanol, of the following formula: It is the first of a class of antidepressants. Venlafaxine acts by inhibiting the reuptake of norepinephrine and serotonin and is an alternative for selective antidepressants and inhibitors of resorption.
It is reported that O-desmeilvenlafaxine, 4- [2- (dimethylamino) -1- (1-hydroxycyclohexyl) ethyl] phenol, of the following formula: is a metabolite of venlafaxine, which is also known as a inhibitor of norepinephrine and serotonin absorption. See Klamerus, K. J. et al, "Introduction of the Composite Paramter to the Pharmcokinetics of Venlafaxine and its Active O-Desmethyl Metabolite "and J. Clin. Pharmacol 32: 716-724 (1992).
The processes for the synthesis of O-demethylevenlafaxine by demethylation of the methoxy group of venlafaxine are described in U.S. Patent Nos. 7,026,508 and 6,689,912.
The synthesis that is revealed in the preceding patents is carried out according to the following scheme: Venlafaxine V L wherein "MCB" refers to methyl benzyl cyanide, "CMBC" refers to cyclohexyl methylbenzyl cyanide, "DDMV" refers to didesmethyl venlafaxine, and "ODV" refers to 0-desmethylvenlafaxine.
The demethylation process disclosed in U.S. Patent No. 7,026,508 provides an ODV succinate salt using L-selectride, which is an alkali metal salt of trialkyl borohydride; wherein the hydrogen gas is formed during the reaction. Therefore, the process is not suitable for manufacturing on an industrial scale.
US Patent Application No. 2005/0197392 discloses a method for preparing the hydrochloride salt of (±) 0-desmethylvenlafaxine by the reaction of venlafaxine with lithium diphenyl phosphide.
U.S. Patent No. 6,689,912 discloses the demethylation process performed using a high molecular weight alkane, arene, or aryl alkyl thiolate anion salt in the presence of a protic or aprotic solvent. The salt can be prepared separately and therefore react with venlafaxine, or can react in situ with venlafaxine. When prepared separately, the solvent, methanol, must be removed. This operation is very complicated because the mixture containing the salt is highly viscous, therefore the operation requires a prolonged time even under high vacuum. When the reaction is carried out in situ through the removal of methanol in situ, this operation is still tedious and only partially successful, since it is difficult to reach the high temperature that the reaction needs to advance.
The processes for the synthesis of ODV described are all indirect, that is, carried out through Venlafaxine. The present invention provides a direct synthesis of 0-demethylvenlafaxine; that is, without going through venlafaxine as an intermediate compound.
