Definitions

  • the invention relates to the subject-matter characterized in the claims, that is to say a novel selective epoxidation process for preparing the epothilone derivative of the formula I.
  • the process of the invention affords the target compound of the formula I in high chemical and diastereomeric purity, very good yields and permits preparation on a large scale.
  • a whole series of synthetically modified epothilone derivatives have been prepared, including those having an aromatic or heteroaromatic group in position 1 instead of the methylthiazole-methylvinyl side chains.
  • Epothilone derivatives with fused aromatic heterocycles in position 1 are disclosed in the patent literature, e.g. by Schering AG, WO 00/66589 and Novartis WO 2000/037473. Since these compounds are very potent antitumour agents, it is of great interest to have an economic and efficient synthesis of this structural class available.
  • the reaction mixture contains besides the target compound I also the beta isomer (Ia), from which corresponding impurities likewise arise in an analogous manner. Removal of all these by-products is time-consuming and takes place by difficult, elaborate and costly chromatography.
  • MTO epoxidation catalyst
  • MTO methyltrioxorhenium
  • the present invention achieves this object and describes a novel process for preparing this epothilone derivative of the formula I starting from the dialkene of the formula II which is likewise known from the literature
  • Aqueous hydrogen peroxide solution especially in an aprotic solvent at ⁇ 60° C. to ⁇ 20° C. is particularly suitable as epoxidizing agent.
  • the compound of the formula (I) is obtained from the dialkene of the formula II
  • One aspect of the invention represents the process described above when the preferred conditions
  • a further embodiment of the invention represents the process described above when all the particularly preferred conditions are combined together, the intention being if no particularly preferred range is indicated that the preferred range is combined:
  • a particular embodiment of the invention is a process for preparing the compound of the formula (I)
  • the process is carried out precisely under the conditions of Example 1.
  • One embodiment of the invention is one of the processes as described above, in which the reaction temperature is ⁇ 60° C. to ⁇ 20° C.
  • the reaction takes place at temperatures of from ⁇ 55 to ⁇ 35° C.
  • a further embodiment is the process as described in claim 1 , in which the reaction times are between 20-120 h.
  • reaction times are from 40 to 80 h.
  • the amount of methyltrioxorhenium is 1-5 mol %, where the amount is based on the dialkene.
  • a further embodiment is one of the processes as described above, where the concentrations of the compound of the formula II are from 1 g in 5 ml of solvent to 1 g in 50 ml of solvent.
  • a further embodiment is one of the processes as described above, where the dialkene is present in concentrations of from 1 g in 5 ml of solvent to 1 g in 20 ml of solvent.
  • dichloromethane other solvents such as 1,2 dichloroethane, chloroform and mixtures thereof with pentane, hexane, heptane, cyclohexane or other low-boiling alkanes in various ratios, and aromatic solvents (arylalkanes) such as, for example, toluene, trifluorotoluene. It is also possible to employ dichloromethane mixed with the abovementioned alkanes and arylalkanes.
  • Low-boiling alkanes mean straight-chain and branched alkanes and cycloalkanes having boiling points of about 35° C. to 100° C.
  • the solvent is selected from the group of dichloromethane, 1,2-dichloroethane, chloroform, and mixtures thereof with pentane, hexane, heptane, cyclohexane, toluene or trifluorotoluene, or toluene or trifluorotoluene on their own.
  • the solvent is selected from the group of mixtures of dichloromethane with pentane, hexane, heptane, cyclohexane, toluene, or trifluorotoluene.
  • the solvent is selected from the group of dichloromethane and mixtures of dichloromethane with pentane, hexane, heptane, cyclohexane, toluene, or trifluorotoluene.
  • C 1 -C 4 -alkyl means straight-chain or branched, for example methyl, ethyl, propyl, isopropyl.
  • the amount of substituted pyridine is 10-20 mol %, the amount being based on the dialkene.
  • aqueous hydrogen peroxide solution is employed.
  • One embodiment of the invention therefore relates to a process as defined in claim 1 , where UHP is used as epoxidizing agent.
  • a reducing agent known to the skilled person such as, for example, sodium thiosulphate, sodium sulphite, vitamin C etc.
  • aqueous acidic solutions for extractive removal of the pyridine catalyst
  • KHSO 4 , H 2 SO 4 , HCl, phosphoric acid, methanesulphonic acid, TFA, citric acid in water for example, KHSO 4 , H 2 SO 4 , HCl, phosphoric acid, methanesulphonic acid, TFA, citric acid in water.
  • a final wash with saturated aqueous NaCl solution is possible where appropriate, followed by drying over magnesium sulphate or sodium sulphate and then removal of the solvent by distillation in vacuo.
  • the residue is purified by chromatography and then the compound of the formula (I) is finally purified by crystallization and isolated. However, it can also be filtered through a short layer of silica gel (removal of the pyridine catalyst) and then be directly crystallized. The yields achieved are 80-90%.
  • the invention thus relates further to a process as described in claim 1 , which, after workup, is directly followed by a crystallization.
  • the rhenium content of a compound of the formula I prepared in this way is ⁇ 7 ppm (LOD*:7 ppm) (*level of detection; method: ICP-OES).
  • the detectability of amounts less than 7 ppm depends on how large the amount of epothilone derivative there is available for the measurement. A larger amount of epothilone derivative means that a content of less than 7 ppm rhenium is more likely to be detectable.
  • a further aspect of the invention is also a product of the process of the invention which still contains rhenium.
  • One aspect of the invention is the product of the formula I containing more than 0.0004 ppm rhenium.
  • the final product contains >0.0004 ppm to 7 ppm rhenium.
  • the final product contains >0.0004 ppm to 1 ppm rhenium.
  • One aspect of the invention is the product of the formula I containing rhenium in the range from 0.01 ppm to 30 ppm.
  • a further aspect of the invention is the product of the formula I containing rhenium in the range from 0.1 ppm to 30 ppm.
  • the reaction product contains from 1 ppm up to 30 ppm rhenium.
  • the final product contains ⁇ 7 ppm to 30 ppm rhenium.
  • the final product contains 0.01 ppm to 7 ppm rhenium.
  • the final product contains 0.01 ppm to 1 ppm rhenium.
  • the novel process allows the compound of the formula (I) to be prepared in high diastereselectivity and yield and purity.
  • the process is simple to operate and permits scaling-up into the multi-kg range. It has the great advantage beside the methods described in the prior art that no valuable substance is lost through attack on the exo double bond. This process is therefore to be categorized as a very practicable and economically valuable method.
