Description

TITLE OF INVENTION
PROCESS FOR MAKING DIHYDROPYRIMIDINONES
FIELD OF THE INVENTION This application is related to U.S. Serial No. 60/008,641 , filed as a provisional application on December 14, 1995, the contents of which are hereby incorporated by reference.
The present invention provides a process for forming 5- (alkyl or alkoxy )carbonyl-6-alkyl-4-(aryl or alkyl)-3, 4-2(1 H)- dihydropyrimidinones by combining a β-keto ester or diketone, an aldehyde and urea. More particularly, the reaction is run in one pot in the presence of a boron reagent, a metal salt and a catalyst to afford yields much higher than from currently accepted methods.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
Dihydropyrimidinone compounds have been extensively studied as calcium channel blockers useful as antihypertensive agents. [See e.g., K.S. Atwal et al., J. Med. Chem 34, 806 (1991); K.S. Atwal et al., J. Med. Chem 33, 2629 (1990); H. Cho et al., J. Med. Chem 32, 2399 ( 1989); Baldwin et al., U.S. Patent No. 4,675,321 , issued June 23, 1987]. More recently, a number of dihydropyrimidinones have been identified as alpha la antagonists useful for the treatment of benign prostatic hypeφlasia (BPH). [See PCT International Patent Application publication no. WO 96/14846, published 23 May 1996] The reaction of numerous aldehydes with urea and a β-keto ester to give a tetrahydropyrimidinone was discovered by [Biginelli, Gazz. Chim. Hal, 23, 360 (1893)]. The Biginelli reaction has been studied, improved upon and a mechanism of formation of tetrahydropyrimidinone proposed. [K. Folkers and T.B. Johnson, J. Am. Chem. Soc, 55, 3784 (1933); J.D. Fissekis, and F. Sweet, J. Am. Chem. Soc, 95, 8741 (1973)]. Thus in the past, the synthesis of dihydropyrimidinones was most often effected using β-keto ester, aryl aldehyde and urea following the principles of Folkers' method, i.e., catalytic amount of acid (e.g., HCl, H2SO4) in protic solvents (e.g., MeOH, EtOH, AcOH) and heating to reflux for a few hours. [K. Folkers and T.B. Johnson, supra]
There are, however, several disadvantages associated with using Folkers method. First, most of the yields were either around or below 50%. Second, HPLC assays often indicate that a substantial portion of the β-keto ester and aryl aldehyde starting materials are consumed to form alkylidene side product. Third, in cases where acetic acid is used as the solvent system, large amounts of aqueous bases are needed to work up the reaction and the use of sodium bicarbonate or sodium carbonate solutions result in violent bubbling.
More recently, alternative stepwise methods for making dihydropyrimidinones have been proposed (See e.g., K.S. Atwal and B.C. O'Reilly, Heterocycles , 26 (5), 1185 (1987); H. Cho et al., J. Org. Chem., 50, 4227 (1985)]. However, these methods required several steps and the yields from these methods was still often relatively low.
Thus, a need remains for an improved method for making dihydropyrimidinones having reduced formation of unwanted side products resulting in higher yields and easier work-up.
It is therefore an object of the invention to identify an improved method for making dihydropyrimidinone compounds of formula (I).
Figure imgf000004_0001
It is a further object of the invention to identify an improved method for making aryl-dihydropyrimidinone compounds of formula (III) which are useful as calcium channel blockers or as intermediates which can be further derivatized at the N-3 position (e.g., acylated as described in U.S. Patent No. 4,675,321 , or alkoxycarbonylated as described in Cho et al., J. Med. Chem 32, 2399 (1989)) to afford calcium channel blocking agents.

Compounds of formulas (I), (II) and (III) are useful as calcium channel blockers and as alpha la antagonists. More specifically, compounds of formula (III) are particularly preferred as calcium channel blockers, or as intermediates which can be further derivatized at the N-3 position (e.g., acylated as described in U.S. Patent No. 4,675,321 , or alkoxy carbony lated as described in Cho et al., J. Med. Chem 32, 2399 ( 1989)) to afford calcium channel blocking agents. Similarly, compounds of formula (III) are particularly preferred as alpha 1 a antagonists, or as intermediates which can be further derivatized at the N- 3 position as described in WO 96/14846, published 23 May 1996.
The reaction is run in one pot in a solvent selected from an oxygenated organic solvent (e.g., alcohol, ether), a halogenated hydrocarbon or an acid. Preferably, the solvent is selected from tetrahydrofuran, methanol, methylene chloride or acetic acid. Most preferably, the solvent is tetrahydrofuran.
A wide array of β-keto esters or diketones (A) and substituted-benzaldehydes (B') are commercially available allowing one to make aryl -dihydropyrimidinones having a large variety of substituents for R l , R2 and R^. Moreover, in addition to aryl aldehydes, it is also possible to utilize alkyl aldehydes in the instant invention to afford alkyl - pyrimidinones of the formula (IV)

Additionally, N-substituted ureas and O-substituted ureas (e.g., O- methylisourea) can be utilized in place of urea (C") to afford the corresponding N-substituted dihydropyrimidinones. A number of N- substituted ureas are commercially available and/or could be easily prepared by one of ordinary skill in the art. The ratio of starting materials is preferably 1 : 1 : 1.5 of A:B:C; however, varying the ratio (e.g., 2: 1 :3, 1 :1 :3 or 2:1 : 1.5 of A:B:C) also gave higher yields than the prior art methods (e.g., Folkers method).
The reaction of β-keto ester or diketone (A), aldehyde or ketone (B) and urea (C) in one pot with an unprecedented combination of a boron reagent, a metal salt and a catalyst affords 5-(alkyl or alkoxy)carbonyl-6-alkyl-4-(aryl or alkyl)-3, 4-2(1 H)- dihydropyrimidinone (I) in higher yields than obtained by known methods. The boron reagent used in the instant invention is BF3 which is commercially available in a variety of forms, all of which can be used in the method of the instant invention. More specifically, the boron reagent is selected from BF3, BF3 2H2O, BF3-Me2S, BF3 HOAC, BF3 R2O (e.g., BF3-Et2θ, BF3-Me2θ, BF3 tert-butyl methyl etherate), BF3 ROH (e.g., BF3 CH3OH, BF3 CH3CH2CH2OH). Preferably, the boron reagent is BF3-Et2θ.
A variety of metal salts can be utilized in the novel reaction of the present invention. For example, copper (I) chloride, copper (I) oxide, copper (II) chloride, copper (II) sulfate, copper (II) acetate, nickel (II) bromide, palladium (II) acetate, copper bromide or palladium acetoacetate can all be used as the metal salt. Preferably, the metal salt is copper (I) chloride, copper (I) oxide, copper (II) chloride, copper (II) sulfate, copper (II) acetate, nickel (II) bromide or palladium (II) acetate. More preferably, the metal salt is copper (I) oxide, copper (I) chloride, nickel (II) bromide or palladium (II) acetate. Most preferably, the metal salt used in the reaction is copper (I) oxide. Catalytic amounts of the metal salt are preferable to one full equivalent in the instant reaction.
The catalyst used in the instant reaction can be a number of different Bronsted acids or bases or an alcohol. For example, suitable catalysts include, but are not limited to, acetic acid, trifluoroacetic acid, methanol, sulfuric acid, MsOH, dichloroacetic acid, HBr PPh3, NH4OAC, triethylamine, pyridine, cinchonine, quinine or quinidine. Preferably, the catalyst is selected from acetic acid, trifluoroacetic acid, methanol, sulfuric acid, MsOH, dichloroacetic acid, HBr PPh3 or NH4OAC. More preferably, the catalyst is selected from acetic acid, trifluoroacetic acid or methanol. Most preferably, acetic acid is used as the catalyst.
The reaction can be run at a temperature range of about 40°C to about 100°C. Preferably, the temperature is about 65°C. The reaction mixture is heated for a period of 1 to 20 hours depending on the starting materials used. Preferably, the reaction mixture is heated for a period of 6 to 20 hours; most preferably, for about 18 hours.
In a particularly preferred embodiment of the instant invention, 1 eq. of β-keto ester (A), 1 eq. of arylaldehyde (B), 1.5 eq. urea (C) are reacted in the presence of 1.3 eq. BF3-Et2θ, 10 mol% Cu2θ, and 10 mol % AcOH in THF at 65 °C for 18 h to afford the dihydropyrimidinone (I) in high yield.
