TECHNICAL FIELD

The present invention relates to a method for manufacturing a 4-heteroaryl-N-(2-phenyl-[1,2,4]triazolo[1,5-a]pyridin-7-yl)-1H-pyrazole-5-carboxylic acid amide derivative represented by formula (I), which exhibits phosphodiesterase 10 (hereinafter shown as “PDE10”) inhibitory activity; and an intermediate for this manufacturing method.

BACKGROUND ART

A 4-heteroaryl-N-(2-phenyl-[1,2,4]triazolo[1,5-a]pyridin-7-yl)-1H-pyrazole-5-carboxylic acid amide derivative represented by formula (I) exhibits excellent PDE10 inhibitory activity, is useful for treating and/or preventing a variety of symptoms of mental disorders linked to PDE10 (for example, paranoid type, disorganized type, catatonic type, undifferentiated and residual type schizophrenia, and the like), and has potential as a therapeutic agent having diminished adverse reactions.
As a method for manufacturing an N-([1,2,4]triazolo[1,5-a]pyridin-7-yl)-1H-pyrazole-5-carboxylic acid amide derivative (formula (i)), scheme 1 on page 26 of WO 2012/076430 (PTL 1) discloses a manufacturing method in which a carboxylic acid derivative (formula (ii)) and a 7-amino-[1,2,4]triazolo[1,5-a]pyridine derivative (formula (iii)) are subjected to a condensation reaction.
As a method for manufacturing a 4-heteroaryl-N-(2-phenyl-[1,2,4]triazolo[1,5-a]pyridin-7-yl)-1H-pyrazole-5-carboxylic acid amide derivative (formula (I-a)), page 184 of WO 2014/133046 (PTL 2) discloses a manufacturing method in which a carboxylic acid derivative (formula (CA)) and a 7-amino-[1,2,4]triazolo[1,5-a]pyridine derivative (formula (AM)) are subjected to a condensation reaction.
According to PTL 1, a compound represented by formula (iii) is manufactured using O-(mesitylsulfonyl)hydroxylamine (formula (v)).
A compound represented by formula (I) in the present invention can be manufactured using a compound represented by formula (iii) disclosed in PTL 1, but in cases where a compound represented by formula (iii) is manufactured according to the manufacturing method disclosed in PTL 1, it is essential to use the compound represented by formula (v). However, it has been pointed out that the compound represented by formula (v) is not suitable for use in large scale synthesis or industrial manufacturing due to problems relating to the stability and safety of the compound (see NPL 1). Therefore, in cases where large scale synthesis or industrial manufacturing of a compound represented by formula (I) is being considered, it is essential to find a novel manufacturing method that is different from the manufacturing method disclosed in PTL 1.
Meanwhile, a method for manufacturing an analogous compound to formula (iii) (formula (iii-1)) is disclosed in WO 2013/117610 (PTL 3). However, the yield of a compound having a R^V═NH₂group is low, at 28%, and there are no synthesis examples of 6,7-2 substituted [1,2,4]triazolo[1,5-a]pyridine derivatives.
In addition, no manufacturing method is known whereby a 6-fluoro-7-amino-4-phenyl-[1,2,4]triazolo[1,5-a]pyridine derivative, which is a partial structure of a 4-heteroaryl-N-(2-phenyl-[1,2,4]triazolo[1,5-a]pyridin-7-yl)-1H-pyrazole-5-carboxylic acid amide derivative represented by formula (I), can be synthesized in large quantities with good efficiency.
Therefore, there is a need to overcome these problems and establish an efficient manufacturing method that is suitable for large scale synthesis or industrial manufacturing of a compound represented by formula (I).

In cases where the compound of the present invention has isomers such as geometric isomers, configuration isomers, tautomeric isomers, optical isomers, diastereomers, regioisomers or rotational isomers, individual isomers and mixtures thereof are encompassed by the compound of the present invention. Furthermore, in cases where optical isomers are present in the compound of the present invention, an optical isomer that has been separated from a racemate of the compound is encompassed by the compound of the present invention.

In addition, in cases where the compound of the present invention contains a “C_2-6alkenyl group”, geometric isomers (cis/trans isomers or Z/E isomers) may be present.

In addition, in cases where the compound of the present invention is an optically active compound, a racemate may be separated into the (+) isomer or (−) isomer [D isomer or L isomer] using a conventional optical resolution means.
In cases where the compound of the present invention includes optical isomers, diastereomers, regioisomers, rotational isomers or tautomeric isomers, each isomer can be obtained as a single compound by using a publicly known synthesis means or separation means. Examples of optical resolution means include publicly known methods such as (1) partitioning recrystallization methods, (2) diastereomer methods and (3) chiral column methods.
(1) Partitioning recrystallization method: A method in which an optical resolution agent ionically bonds to a racemate so as to obtain crystalline diastereomers, these diastereomers are separated by a partitioning recrystallization method and, if necessary, a free optically pure compound is obtained by means of a neutralization step. Examples of optical resolution agents include (+)-mandelic acid, (−)-mandelic acid, (+)-tartaric acid, (−)-tartaric acid, (+)-1-phenethylamine, (−)-1-phenethylamine, cinchonine, (−)-cinchonidine and brucine.
(2) Diastereomer method: A method in which an optical resolution agent is covalently bonded (reacted) to a racemate mixture so as to obtain a mixture of diastereomers, this mixture of diastereomers is separated into optically pure diastereomers by means of a conventional separation means (for example, partitioning recrystallization, silica gel column chromatography or high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC)), and a chemical treatment is carried out by means of a hydrolysis reaction or the like so as to remove the optical resolution agent, thereby obtaining an optically pure optical isomer. For example, in cases where the compound of the present invention has a hydroxyl group, a primary amino group or a secondary amino group in the molecule, a condensation reaction is carried out between the compound and an optically active organic acid (for example, MTPA (α-methoxy-α-(trifluoromethyl)phenylacetic acid) or (−)-methoxyacetic acid), thereby obtaining diastereomers of the corresponding ester or amide. Meanwhile, in cases where the compound of the present invention contains a carboxyl group, a condensation reaction is carried out between the compound and an optically active amine or alcohol reagent, thereby obtaining diastereomers of the corresponding amide or ester. The thus separated diastereomers are converted into optical isomers of the original compound by carrying out an acid hydrolysis reaction or base hydrolysis reaction.
(3) Chiral column method: A method in which direct optical resolution is carried out by subjecting a racemate or a salt thereof to chromatography in a chiral column (a column for separating optical isomers). For example, in the case of high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC), a mixture of optical isomers is added to a chiral column such as a CHIRAL series column manufactured by Daicel Corporation, and development is carried out using water, a variety of buffer solutions (for example, a phosphoric acid buffer solution) or organic solvents (for example, ethanol, methanol, isopropanol, acetonitrile, trifluoroacetic acid or diethylamine) either individually or as a mixed solution, thereby enabling separation of optical isomers. In addition, in the case of gas chromatography, for example, separation can be carried out using a chiral column such as CP-Chirasil-DeX CB (manufactured by GL Sciences Inc.).
The compound of the present invention may be crystalline, and the crystal form thereof may be a single form or a mixture of forms.
The compound of the present invention may be a pharmaceutically acceptable cocrystal or cocrystal salt. Here, cocrystal and cocrystal salt means a crystalline substance constituted from two or more distinct substances which are solids at room temperature and which exhibit mutually different physical properties (for example, structure, melting point, heater fusion, hygroscopic properties, solubility, stability, and the like). The cocrystal or cocrystal salt may be manufactured according to a publicly known cocrystallization method.

If labeled or substituted with certain types of isotope (for example, positron-emitting isotopes such as ¹¹C, ¹⁸F, ¹⁵O and ¹³N), the compound of the present invention can be used as, for example, a tracer (PET tracer) used in positron emission tomography (PET), and is useful in fields such as medical diagnostics.
If labeled or substituted with certain types of isotopic label, the compound of the present invention is useful in tissue distribution research for drugs and/or substrates. For example, ³H and ¹⁴C are useful for such research purposes due to labeling or substitution being easy and detection means being simple.
If isotopically labeled, the compound of the present invention can be obtained using conventional techniques that are known by persons skilled in the art or by methods similar to the synthesis methods disclosed in the working examples described below. In addition, obtained isotopically labeled compounds can be used instead of unlabeled compounds in pharmacological tests.

In addition, triphenylmethyl (Tr) groups can be deprotected by Birch reduction in liquid ammonia using metallic sodium or metallic lithium or by hydrogenolysis using a palladium-carbon catalyst.
Sulfonyl (—SO₂—) groups can be deprotected by, for example, one-electron reduction at a low temperature using Na/anthracene or Na/naphthalene, or Birch reduction in liquid ammonia using metallic sodium or metallic lithium.
In addition, among sulfonyl groups, 2-nitrobenzenesulfonyl (Ns) groups can be deprotected under mild conditions by, for example, reacting with a thiol in the presence of a basic reagent such as potassium carbonate or triethylamine.
These methods for deprotecting protecting groups are merely examples, and deprotection can be carried out using, for example, a method disclosed in Greene et al., “Protective Groups in Organic Synthesis”, fourth edition, 2007 (John Wiley & Sons) or using articles that have been publicly expressed.
Unless explicitly stated otherwise, reaction conditions in the methods for manufacturing compounds represented by formula (ET-1), formula (PY-1), formula (PY-2) and formula (AD-1) described below are as follows. The reaction temperature is not limited as long as this temperature falls within the range between −78° C. and the temperature at which the solvent refluxes. The reaction duration is not limited as long as this duration is sufficient for the reaction to progress adequately.
With respect to the reaction temperature in the manufacturing methods disclosed in the present specification, unless explicitly stated otherwise, the expression “at a temperature between 0° C. and a temperature at which the solvent refluxes” means a temperature within a range between 0° C. and the temperature at which the solvent (or mixed solvent) used in the reaction refluxes. For example, in cases where methanol is used as the solvent, “at a temperature between 0° C. and a temperature at which the solvent refluxes” means a temperature within a range between 0° C. and the temperature at which methanol refluxes. Similarly, the expression “at a temperature between 0° C. and a temperature at which the reaction solution refluxes” means a temperature within a range between 0° C. and a temperature at which the reaction solution refluxes.
In addition, the steps in the methods for manufacturing compounds represented by formula (ET-1), formula (PY-1), formula (PY-2) and formula (AD-1) may be carried out in the absence of a solvent or by dissolving or suspending raw material compounds prior to the reaction in an appropriate solvent which does not take part in the reaction.

It is possible to use one of these solvents in isolation or a mixture of appropriate proportions of two or more of these solvents, selected according to reaction conditions. Unless explicitly stated otherwise, the term “a solvent which does not take part in the reaction” in the manufacturing method in the present specification means that it is possible to use a single type of solvent in isolation or use a mixture of appropriate proportions of two or more solvents, selected according to reaction conditions.
