Definitions

  • 6-deoxy-6-demethyl6-rnethylenetetracyclines and 6-deoxytetracyclines are valuable antibiotics, of which the most important are 6-deoxy-6-dimethyl-6-methylene-5-hydroxy-tetracycline (methacycline) and a-6-deoxy-5-hydroxytetracycline (deoxycycline).
  • the 6-deoxytetracyclines are obtained through catalytic hydrogenation of tetracycline, oxytetracycline and chlorotetracycline, yielding the 3-6-isomers (U.S. Pat. No. 3,019,- 260), or through catalytic hydrogenation of methacycline or lla-halo-methacycline, yielding a mixture of the aand fi-isomers in a variable proportion (US. Pat. No. 3,200,149).
  • the a-isomers, without the concomitant [3- isomer are obtained according to U.S. Pat. Nos. 3,165,531 and 3,484,483, and Portuguese Pat. No. 52,217.
  • the present invention provides a new process to obtain in a nearly stoichiometric yield the 6-methylenetetracyclines and in a satisfactory yield the 6-deoxytetracyclines, by avoiding the inconveniences of the previous processes.
  • the starting material used to perform the present invention is the 1la-chloro-6-deoxy-6-clemethyl-6-methylenetetracyclines, which were first described in Portuguese Pat. No. 36,099 of May 19, 1959.
  • a considerable advantage of the present process lies in the fact that the secondary product of the reaction is nitrogen, which naturally does not interfere with isolation of the final product in pure state.
  • the Ila-dehalogenation is carried out by zinc and a mineral acid, iron and diluted hydrochloric acid, alkali metal hydrosulfite in aqueous media, sodium iodide in a halogen acceptor medium, such as acetone, and by catalytic hydrogenation.
  • catalytic hydrogenation by-products, such as zinc chloride, iron chloride, free sulphur (often in collodial state), sodium iodide and chloride are formed, which have to be separated from the methylenetetracyclines thus prepared.
  • this is a difficult procedure and diminishes considerably the final yield.
  • the catalytic hydrogenation does not yield secondary products per se, but it provokes destruction, to a considerable extent, of the molecules to be dehalogenated, as well as a concomitant formation of uand B- deoxytetracyclines, according to my experience, even if the hydrogenation were stopped when exactly an equimolar amount of hydrogen, necessary for dehalogenation, has been taken up.
  • the hydrazine-palladium charcoal dehalogenation is more advantageous than the direct catalytic hydrogenation insofar as it does not require pressure or a special apparatus. It is less hazardous than catalytic hydrogenation, causes no destruction of the molecules to be dehalogenated, and finally the concomitant formation of uand fi-6-deoxytetracyclines is negligible if none or only a slight excess over the equimolecular amount of hydrazine is used, the catalyst being preferably palladium on charcoal.
  • 6-deoxy-6-dimethyl-G-methylenetetracyclines When preparing the 6-deoxytetracyclines, a certain amount of 6-deoxy-6-dimethyl-G-methylenetetracyclines will also be formed in the reaction mixture, and in view of the fact that these latter are also valuable commercialized antibiotics, they may be isolated together with the 6- deoxytetracyclines and subsequently separated.
  • My copending Portuguese application No. 54,109 which corresponds to US. application 159,462, filed on July 2, 1971, provides a process for performing such isolation and separation.
  • the starting material used in the present invention is the 11a-chloro-6-deoxy-6-demethyl 6 methylcnetetracyclines, under the form of free base, an acid addition salt, such as hydrochloride, hydrofluoride, p-toluene-sulfonate.
  • the suitable reaction medium for performing the hydrazine reduction is a lower aliphatic alcohol, tetrahydrofuran, dioxane, lower dialkylformamide, acetone, water, or mixtures thereof.
  • 11a-chloro-6-deoxy-6-demethyl-6-methylene-5-hydroxytetracycline is the starting material and the initial pH is higher than 3, it is preferred to use anhydrous media to perform the reaction.
  • hydrazine hydrate or a hydrazine acid addition salt such as hydrochloride or sulphate.
  • the reaction temperature is not critical, being comprised between 10 to +50 C. However, when preparing the 6-deoxytetracyclines, a higher temperature range, between 25 to 50 C. is preferred.
  • the noble metal catalyst preferred is palladium, when preparing the 6 methylenetetracyclines, and platinum, when preparing the 6-deoxytetracyclines; however, rhodium may also be used.
  • the amount of catalyst used for preparing the 6-methylenetetracyclines is not critical; as little as 0.001 part of 5% palladium charcoal per part of lla-halo-tetracycline will readily promote the dehalogenation, although the reaction is slow.
  • approximately 0.1 part of platinum on a suitable support, such as carbon is necessary. These amounts may be increased up to 2 parts, without provoking a further destruction of the molecules.
  • 6-methylenetetracyclines can easily be performed by conventional methods, such as by filtering the reaction mixture and acidifying it with ethanolic or methanolic hydrogen chloride, thus yielding the hydrochloride in pure state.
  • any other acid addition salt of the 6-methylenetetracyclines can be obtained by treating the filtered reaction mixture with the desired acid and provoking crystallization by addition of a non-solvent.
  • a process for the isolation and purification of 6-deoxytetracyclines is described in my co-pending Portuguese No. 54,109.
  • the non-reacted portion of the lla-chloro-S-hydroxytetracycline is present as hydrochloride (melting point 212216 C., [04],; 22.5 (c.:1% in methanol containing 1% concentrated hydrochloric acid),
  • the infrared curve shows a sole maximum in the 56 region at 5.72 1.
  • Examples according to the present invention (1) 2.5 grs. of 10% palladium on charcoal and 2 mls. of diluted hydrazine hydrate 15% are added to 5 grs. of 11a-chloro-6-deoxy-6-demethyl 6 methylene-S-hydroxytetracycline hydrofluoride in 100 mls. of ethanol. 2.7 mls. of 15% hydrazine hydrate is added at the end of 15 minutes. After stirring overnight, the reaction mixture is filtered, and 5 grs. of S-sulfosalicyclic acid and 200 mls. of water are then added. After stirring during 1 hour, it is filtered, washed and dried. 5.5 grs.
  • the crude sulfosalicylate shows a shoulder in its infrared curve at 10 indicating the presence of doxycycline.
  • Example 3 The procedure of Example 3 is repeated, but using platinum on charcoal instead of palladium.
  • a noble metal catalyst selected from the group consisting of palladium, platinum, and rhodium in an inert reaction medium
  • the 11achlorotetracyclines are the lla-chloro derivatives of 6- deoxy 6 demethyl-6-methylenetetracycline, 6-deoxy-6- demethyl-6-methylene 5 hydroxytetracycline, 6-deoxy- 6-demethyl-6-rnethylene 7 chlorotetracycline and 6-deoxy-6-dernethyl-6-methylene 5 hydroxy-7-chlorotetracycline, in a form selected from free base and acid addition salts.
  • reaction temperature is comprised between -10 to C.
