Abstract

Improved process for the preparation of 7,16-dioxa-2-aza-10-O-cladinosil-12-O-desosaminyl-4,5-dihydroxy-6-ethyl-3,5,9,11,13,15- hexametilbicic [11.2.1] hexa-deca-1 (2) -en-8-one from Erythromycin A, which consists in obtaining it in a single step from Erythromycin A, in good yield and under mild conditions and suitable for its production. The transformation of Erythromycin A, to an intermediate compound, called 6,9-iminoether, which is obtained in a single step, is carried out through the "in situ" formation of mesitylenesulphonyloxime of erythromycin, which in the presence of from a base in aqueous acetone undergoes a transposition of Beckmann, giving rise to the iminoether, by assisting the hydroxyl in position 6 of the macrolide ring, this intermediate, is transformed to the antibiotic called Azithromycin

Description

IMPROVED PROCESS IN A SINGLE STEP, FOR THE PREPARATION OF 7,16-DlOXA-2-AZA-10-O-CLADINOSIL-12-O-DESOSAMINIL-4,5-DIHYDROXY-6-ETHYL-3,5f9,11,13,15-HEXAMETILBICICLO [11.2.1] HEXADECA- 1 (2) -EN-8-ONA FROM ERYTHROMYCIN A.
FIELD OF THE INVENTION The present invention consists in the preparation of azithromycin by means of an alternate path, which consists of the formation of an intermediate product called 6,9-iminoether, in a single step from erythromycin which is transformed to the compound azithromycin.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION Azithromycin, known by its IUPAC name as 9a-aza-9a-methyl-9-deoxo-9a-omoerythromycin A, being its generic name azithromycin, is a broad-spectrum antibacterial compound derived from Erythromycin A. It differs structurally from This is caused by the insertion of a methylated nitrogen at position 9a into the lactone ring to create a 15-member macrolide. The structural modification significantly improves the potency of the antibiotic against gram-negative bacteria and the distribution of the drug at high concentrations within the tissues.
Azithromycin was independently discovered by Bright U. S. Pat. No. 4,474,768 and Kobregel et. to the. U. S. Pat. 4,517,359 and was designated N-methyl-11-aza-10-deoxo-10-dihydrictrimonin A in these patents.
The sequence of reactions reported in the literature to transform Erythromycin A (1) to Azithromycin (5) consists of 4 main steps, illustrated in Scheme 1, which are described below in a general manner: a) Oxime formation (2) From erythromycin A (I), by its reaction with hydroxylamine hydrochloride in methanol. b) Beckmann's transposition of the oxime (2) The intramolecular participation of the neighboring 6-hydroxy group is observed when the Beckmann transposition is carried out at 0 ° C with p-toluenesulfonyl chloride in aqueous acetone, giving as product the 6,9-iminoether (3). This iminoether (3) and the process for obtaining it have been described in WO 26,758 and Eur. Pat. 0,137,132. In U.S. Patent No. 4,328,334 this iminoether is erroneously assigned with the structure of a lactam obtained by the transposition of Beckmann from the oxime of Erythromycin A). c) Imino ether reduction (3) The reduction of the imino ether (3) to the secondary amine (4) with sodium borohydride in methanol (J. Chem Soc. Perkin Trans. 1, 1986, 1881; J. Org. Cbem. 1997, 62, 7479-7481) or by catalytic hydrogenation in the presence of platinum dioxide and acetic acid as solvent (Tetrahedron Lett, 1994, 35, 3025). d) Reductive methylation of the secondary amine (4) to obtain Azithromycin (5) This process is described in US Pat. No. 4,517,359 and in J. Chem Res, 1988, 132. The Escheweiler-Clarke reaction uses formaldehyde methylation in acetic acid for this methylation and has as its main drawback the formation of some reaction impurities as this is the case of formamide derived from amine 9-deoxo-9a-aza-9a-homoerythromycin A.
Recently, an alternative method was described in which the imino ether (3) can be reduced and the product obtained subsequently subjected to a reductive methylation in the presence of formaldehyde and a noble metal as a catalyst, without the need to isolate the intermediate. Under these conditions, Azithromycin is obtained with a good purity and good yield, in a single step, from the imino ether (3) (Eur. Pat. No. 0,879,823 A 1).
Structural elucidation studies of Azithromycin (J. Chem. Res. 1988, 132) have revealed their existence in two crystalline forms: hygroscopic monohydrate and non-hygroscopic crystalline dihydrate. The latter has been described as the preferred form for its manipulation for the purpose of preparing formulations for therapeutic use (Eur. Pat. No. 0,298,650).
It is therefore the object of the present invention to provide an alternate pathway of those already known, to form in a single step the 6,9-imino ether intermediate, to obtain azithromycin.
A further object of the present invention is to provide a process for obtaining azithromycin faster and more economically.
DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION All the methods reported to date for the preparation of Azithromycin (5), involve the formation of oxime (2), of Erythromycin A, by treatment of Erythromycin with hydroxylamine hydrochloride and a base, in methanol at room temperature. reflux and a minimum time of 10 hours. This oxime is isolated, purified and subsequently subjected to the rearrangement of Beckmann to obtain the intermediate (3), in aqueous acetone in the presence of p-toluenesulfonyl chloride and base for 2 hours at 5 ° C and 2 hours at room temperature. The novelty of this invention is that iminoether (3) is prepared in a single step from Erythromycin A (1), which is operatively and economically more feasible than the methods cited. The reaction described in this invention consists in treating a solution of Erythromycin A (I), in acetone with O-mesitylenesulfonylhydroxylamine (MSH), to form "in situ" the mesitylenesulfonyloxime of Erythromycin A, which when treated with an aqueous base (sodium bicarbonate) at 0 ° C, carries out a rearrangement of Beckmann, giving rise to the intermediate 6,9-iminoether (3). The reaction conditions are smooth, with short times and the reagent used in this transformation (MSH) is easily prepared as described in Tetrahedron lett. No. 40, p. 4133-4135 (1972). Also the method described in the present invention is scalable to own quantities for an industrial level preparation. Once the known intermediate (3) is prepared, it is possible to obtain Azithromycin (5) according to the usual techniques reported in the literature (Eur. Pat. No. 0.827.965 A2, US Pat. No. 4,328,334, US Pat. No. 4,517,359; Eur. Pat. No. 0,879,823 A1).
Next, the procedure of the best known production method for the formation of intermediate compound (3), named 7,16-dioxa-2-aza-10-O-cladinosyl-12-O-desosaminyl-4,5- is described. hydroxy-6-ethyl-3,5,9,11,13-hexamethylbicyclo [11.2.1] hexadeca-1 (2) -en-8-one, according to the following example: A solution of Erythromycin A (6.0 g, 0.082 mol), in 30 ml. of acetone, under N2 atmosphere, cooled to 0 ° C and 1.62g was added. (1.05 eq.) Of O- (mesitylsulphonyl) hydroxylamine (MSH). Stirring was continued at 0 ° C for 5 minutes and then the temperature was allowed to rise to the room, stirring continuing for an additional hour. Subsequently, the reaction mixture was again cooled to 0 ° C and a 2.75 g solution was added dropwise. (0.032 mol) of sodium bicarbonate in 30 ml. of water, keeping the internal temperature between 0 and 5 ° C; the addition time was 30 minutes; When the addition was complete, the temperature was allowed to rise to the room and stirring was continued for a further 2 hours. Finally the acetone was evaporated under reduced pressure and the aqueous residue was adjusted to a pH of 5.5 with 2N HCl. This phase was extracted twice with CH2Cl2 (20 ml.). Extraction was repeated at a pH of 6.0 (2 x 20 ml.) And at pH 8.0 (3 x 20 ml.); the extracts of each pH were combined, dried with K2CO3 and evaporated to dryness. At pH 8.0, 4.48 g were isolated. (75%) of the compound (3). The final compound was identified by means of studies that fulfilled the following characteristics: P.f. 128-131 ° C IR (CHC, 3) 1705 and 1725 crtr1 13C NMR (CDCI3) 178.1, 163.9, 87.3
