PRODUCTION OF IMIDAZOLES <br><br>
T^We. A/S GEA FARMACEUTISK FABRIK (GEA LTD. PHARMACEUTICAL MANUFACTURING COMPANY) a Danish Company of 89 Holger Danskesvej, DK-2000, Copenhagen F, Denmark hereby declare the invention for whicli we pray that a patent may be granted to us, and the method by which i.t is to be performed, to be particularly described in and by the following statement:- <br><br>

A process for the production of imidazoles „ \ <br><br>
The invention relates to a new process for the production of <br><br>
4-methy1-5-aIky1thiomethy1imidazo1es. <br><br>
In the British Patent Specification No. 1,533,380 a process is described, according to which compounds, e.g., of the following formula <br><br>
Het-CH2-S-CH2CH2-NH-Ci J^l are produced, wherein Het is a heterocyclic group, e.g., an imidazole group, E is S or NCN, and R1 is H or lower alkyl, by letting a compound of the formula <br><br>
Het-CH2Z <br><br>
where Het is defined as hereinbefore, and Z is a leaving group react with a mercaptan of the formula hs-ch2ch2-nh-c^ jj^l wherein R^is defined as hereinbefore. <br><br>
The | <br><br>
preparation of Cimetidine, N-cyano-N,-methyl-N"-[2-[(4-methyl- <br><br>
5-imidazolyl)methylthio]-ethyl]guanidine by treating 4-methyi-5-hydroxymethylimidazole with thiourea followed by reaction with N-cyano-N'-methyl-N"-(2-hydroxyethyl)guanidine» is also known. <br><br>
A similar known process involves the j preparation of, e.g., Cimetidine by letting <br><br>
Het-CH2-Q <br><br>
wherein Q is a leaving group, and Het is a 4-methyl-5-imida-zolyl group, react with hsch2ch2nh2 <br><br>
to form <br><br>
Het-CH2 SCH2 CH2NH2 <br><br>
which is subsequently treated with <br><br>
3 ^nr2i R C^NHR <br><br>
12 3 <br><br>
to give, e.g., Cimetidine when R is CH3, R is CN, R is alkyl or aryl and Z is S. <br><br>
205652 2 <br><br>
It is known that the starting materials, i.e. substituted imidazoles, for these and other known methods are not easy to obtain, and the present method consequently employs a totally different approach both with regard to starting materials and reaction pathway. <br><br>
In the process according to the present invention, the starting material consists of a compound <br><br>
CH,C-CCH~X <br><br>
3ji || 2 (I) <br><br>
A B <br><br>
Wherein one of the substituents A and B is NOH and the other is 0 or NOH. X is a suitable leaving group, e.g., halogen or OZ, wherein Z is a hydrogen atom, or, e.g., an acyl or a tosyl group, or X is NR^* where R is alkyl; the preferential starting materials being the easily available halogen compounds, e.g., l-bromo-3-oximino-2-butanone and 4-chloro-3-oximino-2-butanone. Compound I is treated , in a first step, with <br><br>

\ NHAlk preferably under cold conditions in the presence of a strong "" base, such as sodium ethoxide, to give <br><br>

wherein Alk is an alkylene group and Alk is an alkyl group having 1-4 carbon atoms. <br><br>
Compounds (III) are new and constitute the subject matter of New Zealand Patent Specification No. 218,113 to which the reader's attention is directed. <br><br>
In a second step, the compound III is ring-closed by treatment with formaldehyde or a formaldehyde donor, e.g. paraformaldehyde, or mixtures of formaldehyde and/or formaldehyde donors and ammonia or ammonia donors, e.g., ammonium acetate, or reagents with the formula <br><br>
YN = CH2 <br><br>

Where Y is as hereinbefore defined or H. When Y is H, the compounds may consist of a mixture of two tautomers, e.g., an N-oxide and the corresponding N-hydroxy tautomer. <br><br>
The compound IV or V is subsequently selectively reduced, if Y is other than H or OH, to reduce the Y group to H and finally deoxygenated to give the desired product <br><br>

1 2 j which, in the preferred use of Alk = C2H4 an(^ = C"H3' <br><br>
is Cimetidine. The deoxygenation may also take place before the reduction. <br><br>
The compounds of formula III which are described and claimed in New Zealand Patent Specification No. 2-/8/(3 were previously unknown, and since they contain a multitude of reactive sites, it is both unexpected and surprising that they can be transformed to imidazole N-oxides in good yields. It is particularly surprising that the N-cyano-guanidine moiety could sustain the treatment with the reagents necessary for the ring-closure, and furthermore, according to Zeitschrift fur Ch^foie, 1_0 (1970) , 211-215, 2-unsubstituted imidazole N-oxides cannot be isolated under reaction conditions analogous to those used in the present invention. <br><br>
4 <br><br>
20 5 6 5? <br><br>
The selective reduction of IV and V was unforeseeable and quite surprising; a priori, it was to be expected that the benzylic type C-S bond would be the one most easily reduced by known methods. <br><br>
Neither was it foreseeable that the deoxygenation of compounds IV and V could be undertaken, due to the number of other reactive sites which are open for attack by known deoxygenation reagents, and the use of these also led to unsatisfactory results. Surprisingly, it was found that trialkylamine-sulphur dioxide complexes, e.g., (CH-jJ^N-SO^/ or formamidinosulphinicacid gave the desired product in good yield; the resulting sulphur trioxide or sulphonic acid would have been expected to give unwarranted side reactions, cf. Synthesis,(1979), 36. <br><br>
