Description

PREPARATION OF AMIDAS ACILADAS OF THE ACID ALPHA-AMINO CARBOXILICO Field of Invention The present invention relates to processes for producing acylated amides of α-amino carboxylic acid. Such amides are useful as intermediates for heterocyclic N-substratified pharmaceutical compositions useful in the treatment of cardiovascular disorders including hypertension, or glaucoma, diabetic retinopathy and renal insufficiency. In particular, the pharmaceutical compositions demonstrate antagonistic action against angiotensin II, a potent vasopressor.
Background of the Invention Conventional processes for the preparation of the a-amino carboxylic acid amides suffer from several disadvantages, including low yields, low purity, the requirements of many steps in the synthetic route, and complex isolation schemes. Ref .: 30218 Thus, a route for the amides is described in Abramov, et al., Zhurnal Orgna. Khimii, 20 (7), pages 1243-1247 (1984) where the preparation of the a-aminoamides and a-amino acids is taught from the corresponding α-aminoni tory using manganese (IV) in the form of manganese oxide . Reaction times are critical, since longer reaction times lead to the amino acid. Additionally, a reversion may occur for the starting cyanohydrin and ketone.
Other somewhat analogous synthetic schemes are described in Johnson, et al., J. Org. Chem. 27, pages 798-802 (1962). This method involves the reaction of an aminonitrile with anhydrous HCl in the presence of an alcohol. The aminonitrile is dissolved in n-butanol and then treated with anhydrous HCl and stirred at room temperature for 24 hours. The reaction mixture is then refluxed for one hour. The immediate ester hydrochloride is formed as an intermediate, and is decomposed with the application of heat to the corresponding amide and an alkyl chloride.
U.S. Patent No. 5,352,788 discloses a synthesis involving hydrolysis of the oxalate salt of aminonitrile using concentrated sulfuric acid, followed by treatment with ammonia and then extracting with chloroform containing 5% methanol.
Conventional synthesis routes for the acylated amides of α-amino carboxylic acid involve acylating the amide, such as cycloleucine amide, with acyl chloride in THF with triethylamine. However, this is desirable to eliminate the use of organic solvents and to provide a simple, inexpensive process for preparing acylated amines of a-amino carboxylic acid directly from the amino nitrile.
It is therefore an object of the present invention to provide a method for producing acylated aminoamides directly from the corresponding amino nitrile.
It is a further object of the present invention to provide a method for producing acylated aminoamides from amino nitriles in high yields and without the concomitant production of potentially hazardous co-products.
It is still yet another object of the present invention to provide a method for producing acylated aminoamides from amino nitriles are the required complex isolation steps.
Description of the invention.
The problems of the prior art are then overcome by the present invention, which provides a method for preparing α-amino carboxylic acid amides acylated directly from amino nitriles in high and pure product. The method involves acylating the amino nitrile with an acyl halide, preferably acyl chloride, under Schotten-Baumann conditions. The resulting acylated amine-carboxylic acid amine can be hydrolyzed, precipitated and isolated by filtration in high purity.
Detailed description of the invention The amino nitrile can be virtually any a-amino-nyl ryl corresponding to the acylated amine of a-amino carboxylic acid, and can be prepared from the corresponding ketone or aldehyde by conventional means well known to those skilled in the art. For example, the ketone in an appropriate solvent such as methanol, can react with a source of ammonia (such as ammonia and ammonium chloride) and a source of cyanide (such as alkali metal cyanide), and the resulting amino nitrile can be coated by Extraction with methylene chloride and drying. Dialkyl aminonitriles such as acetone aminonitrile, acetophenone aminonitrile, methyl ethyl aminonitrile are suitable, are as monoalkyl aminoni trils such as banzaldehyde aminonitrile and acetonide aldehyde. N-subsituted amino acids are also suitable, including N-methyl glycononitrile, N-butyl aminonitrile and N-phenyl aminonitrile. Cyclopentanone aminonitrile is particularly preferred.
Suitable acyl groups for the acyl halide are straight or branched aliphatic or aromatic groups containing from 1 to 40 carbon atoms, preferably acyl group which are carboxylic acid derivatives. Examples of preferred acyl groups are valeroyl, pentanoyl, hexanoyl, heptanoyl, octanoyl, nananoyl, decanoyl, lauroyl, myristoyl, palmitoyl, oleoyl, stearoyl, nonanoyl, neopent, anilyl, neohethylene, neodecanoyl, iso-oct, anilyl, iso-nananoyl. , isotridecanoi, benzoyl and naphthoyl. Varyl chloride is particularly preferred.
In accordance with the present invention, the pH of an aqueous amino nitrile solution is adjusted within a range of 9-12 (standard Schotten-Baumann conditions) to effect acylation, and the temperature is maintained between about 0 and 30 °. C, preferably around 10 ° C. The amino nitrile can be used slightly in excess for the acid halide, preferably 1.05 or less / 1.00. Excesses of amino nitrile are operable but excessive. The acyl halide is slowly added to the aqueous solution of amino nitrile in a range such that the average temperature of the reaction is stored up to 20 ° C or lower. The average pH of the reaction is preferably maintained in the above range, more preferably in a range between 9.5-10.5, by co-feeding a base, preferably alkali metal hydroxide, to the reaction medium with the acyl halide. The base serves to purify the acid (HCl in the case of acyl chloride) generated from the acylation and thus maintaining the pH within the operable range. As a result, operable amounts of base may vary depending on the amount of acid generated, but are generally between 1-2 times the number of equivalents of acid halide. The failure to co-feed the base with the acyl halide results in the hydrolysis of the acyl halide as a complete reaction.
Preferably, the reaction is stirred at 20 ° C and then maintained for at least two hours while the pH is maintained within the aforementioned range. The hydrolysis is then carried out by adjusting the pH, preferably to at least about 0.5 with an appropriate acid, such as HCl, sulfuric or phosphoric acid, preferably HCl, to hydrolyze the nitrile to the carboxylic acid amide. Higher pHs in the range of 0.5-4 can be used, but result in longer reaction times. Alternatively, the hydrolysis can be conducted under basic conditions, such as with the addition of 0.1 to 4 equivalents of alkali metal hydroxide. The reaction is then heated to reflux to completely affect the hydrolysis of the carboxylic acid nitrile. Temperatures of 30-100 ° C are appropriate, with the highest end of the range being preferred in order to minimize reaction times. The hydrolysis is generally completed in two hours. The resulting solids (amino acylated carboxylic acid amide) are isolated and can be collected by filtration.
The theoretical reaction mechanism can be illustrated as follows by the preparation of the cycloleucine valerate amide: Example 1 The amino nitrile of cyclopentanone is prepared using methods commonly found in the literature. The amino nitrile of cyclopentanone (30.00 g, 0.273 mol) and water are added to a 5-necked 5-necked round bottom flask equipped with a mechanical stirrer, a pH meter, a thermometer, and two additional funnels. The pH is then adjusted to 10.00 with 50% NaOH and the reaction is cooled to 10 ° C. Valeryl chloride (31.60 g, 0.262 mol) is then slowly added to the reaction at a range such as to maintain the temperature at 20 ° C or less. The pH of the reaction is maintained from 9.5-10.5 by co-feeding 25% NaOH (10.91 g, 0.272 mol) to the reaction with valeryl chloride. The reaction was stirred at 20 ° C for one hour maintaining the pH of 9.5-10.5 with 25% NaOH. After one hour, the pH was adjusted to 0.5 with concentrated HCl, the reaction was heated to reflux for one hour, cooled to room temperature, and the resulting solids were collected by filtration.
E jem lo 2.
The aminonitrile was acylated as previously described on a scale of 0.455 moles. 0.437 moles of NaOH (50% aqueous) was then added and the reaction was warmed to 70 ° C for ten hours. The resulting solution contained approximately 50% conversion to the cycloleucine valerate amide.
It is noted that in relation to this date, the best method known to the applicant to carry out the aforementioned invention, is that which is clear from the present description of the invention.
Having described the invention as above, the content of the following is claimed as property.
