Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a process for preparing sulfoxide compounds useful as anti -ulcer agents having a gastric acid secretion inhibiting action. More particularly, the present invention relates to a process for preparing a sulfoxide compound of the formula I, which comprises the step of oxidizing a sulfide compound of the formula II with hydrogen peroxide in the presence of a rhenium compound acting as a catalyst. Unlike the prior art, the process of the present invention minimizes a production of an N-oxide by-product of the formula III and an sulfone by-product of the formula IV and thus produces the sulfoxide compound of the formula I at high yield and purity using a simple isolation procedure.
  • the sulfoxide compound represented by the formula I is useful as an anti-ulcer agent having a gastric acid secretion inhibiting action.
  • the sulfoxide compound of the formula I is prepared by oxidizing the sulfoxide compound of the formula II with an oxidizing agent, as indicated in the following Scheme 1:
  • Oxidizing agents previously disclosed in the art for the oxidation of the sulfide compound include iodosobenzene (Spanish Patent No. 539,793 (1985)), iodosomethylbenzene (Spanish Patent No. 540,147 (1985)), m-chloroperbenzoic acid (US Patent No. 4,628,098 (1986) and 4,255,431 (1981)), peracetic acid (WO 98/09962
  • Korean Patent No. 052837 (1992) describes only a melting point of the compound I without descriptions of a purity and yield of the compound I.
  • Example of Korean Patent No. 100796 (1996) describes preparing the compound I at a relatively low yield of 74.9%.
  • the produced byproducts are very similar in physical and chemical properties, such as solubility, to those of the sulfoxide compound I and thus is not easily removed by a usual purification method such as recrystallization.
  • the oxidation with m-chloroperbenzoic acid is disadvantageous in that m-chloroperbenzoic acid is an expensive reagent and is a dangerous substance requiring cautions during its use and storage so that it is difficult to be handled in large quantities.
  • the oxidation with m-chloroperbenzoic acid has a drawback when being applied for industrial purpose, because it utilizes environmentally harmful halogenated solvents such as chloroform, methylene chloride and the like.
  • Japanese Patent Application Laid Open No. Heisei 11-71370 (1999) discloses a process of preparing the sulfoxide compound I by oxidizing the sulfide compound II in a mixed solvent of nonpolar solvent and lower alcohol. However, this process is reported as producing the sulfoxide compound I at a low yield of 71.6%.
  • WO 99/02521 (1999) describes oxidizing the sulfide compound II with sodium perborate tetrahydrate (NaB0 3 .4H 2 0) in the presence of anhydrous acetic acid and water to produce the sulfoxide compound I at a yield of 78.4%.
  • An alternative process in the latter publication includes oxidizing the sulfide compound II with N-chlorosuccinic acid in the presence of an inorganic base to produce the sulfoxide compound I at a yield of 84.1%.
  • Korean Patent No. 100796 discloses a process for preparing the sulfoxide compound of the formula I by oxidizing the sulfide compound of the formula II with hydrogen peroxide in the presence of a vanadium catalyst. This process is described as producing the end compound at a high yield of 89.5 to 93.2 while inhibiting a production of the N-oxide byproduct at a low level .
  • the process according to the latter patent involves several problems when being applied for the industrial purpose.
  • the specification of the disclosed patent mentions only the N-oxide by-product III, but includes no mention of whether the sulfone by- product IV as indicated in Scheme 2 is produced. Also, the specification does not mention a method of removing the sulfone by-product IV.
  • the vanadium compound used as a catalyst is highly poisonous to a human body and is not easy to handle, so that it is not suitable for use in mass production (US Patent No. 5,391,752).
  • the above described prior processes employs a complex purification procedure to remove byproducts. Namely, the purification procedure according to the prior processes comprises heating a crude crystal obtained after a reaction for obtaining the end compound to 60-70 °C to dissolve the crude crystal, filtering the solution to remove insoluble material, and recrystallizing the solution. Thus, it is difficult for the prior processes to be applied for mass production due to an increase in working processes and a rising in manufacturing-costs .
  • the prior processes disadvantageously results in the formation of a colored reaction mixture during the oxidation procedure, and thus further require a decoloring step of the reaction mixture, additionally to the purification procedure. It is generally well known that benzimidazole compounds are instable under acidic conditions so that they are discolored under oxidation conditions. For this reason, the prior processes additionally require the decoloring step (WO 98/40377 and 98/40378, and US Patent No. 5,374,730) .
  • Spainish Patent No. 2,036,948 (1993) discloses a process which comprises oxidizing the sulfide compound with hydrogen peroxide in the presence of ammonium molybdate [ (NH 4 ) 2 Mo0 4 ] , a molybdenum compound, which is substituted for the vanadium compound catalyst.
  • this process produces a sulfoxide compound at a low yield of 75% and thus is disadvantageous in view of the economical efficiency.
  • the prior processes for preparing the sulfoxide compound disadvantageously produce the N-oxide by-product III and the sulfone by- product IV during the oxidation step. This makes the isolation and purification of a pure sulfoxide compound difficult.
  • Another drawback with the prior processes is that they require the complex purification procedure including an additional decoloring step which is required due to the formation of the colored product.
  • the prior processes are problematic in that they employ an environmentally harmful catalyst, or a catalyst or oxidizing agent poisonous to a human body, thereby involving a difficult when being applied for mass production.
  • the present invention is directed to a process for preparing a sulfoxide compound of the formula I, which comprises the step of oxidizing a sulfide compound of the formula II with hydrogen peroxide as an oxidizing agent, in an ethanol solvent, in the presence of a rhenium compound as a catalyst .
  • the process of the present invention is illustrated in the following Scheme 6.
  • the process according to the present invention minimizes a production of the N-oxide by-product III and the sulfone by-product IV while removing the by-products by only a simple isolation step, i.e., a filtration step, thereby producing the sulfoxide compound I at a high purity and yield.

  • Methyltrioxorhenium was first reported by Hermann et al . to be a catalyst efficient for epoxidation of olefinic compounds with hydrogen peroxide (Angew, Chem. , Int. Ed. Engl., 30, 1636 (1991)). This methyltrioxorhenium is known as activating hydrogen peroxide, an oxygen source for an oxidizing agent, by an electrophilic reaction mechanism. In particular, unlike oxidizing agents used at approximately one equivalent amount or excess equivalent amounts, the methyltrioxorhenium catalyst has a significant advantage in that it is used for oxidation of a reactant without producing by-products.
  • the rhenium compound has advantages in that it is non-toxic to a human body and also shows a very high stability in air so that it is easy to store, handle and weigh.
  • the rhenium compound is used at the amount of 0.1 to 10 mole %, and preferably 1 to 5 mole % relative to the compound of the formula II.
  • Hydrogen peroxide as an oxygen source for an oxidizing agent is generally used in aqueous solution.
