Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a new process for the preparation of eletriptan, or its enantiomer, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt of either.
  • Eletriptan is currently marketed worldwide for the treatment of migraine as Relpax® and is therefore manufactured in bulk quantity.
  • the large-scale synthesis of a drug molecule should be short, high-yielding and selective and avoid the use of toxic or dangerous materials.
  • the prior art syntheses of eletriptan exemplified in the prior art discussed above, suffer from the use of phenyl vinyl sulphone, which is a toxic chemical and hazardous to handle on a large scale and the use of palladium in a later-stage step which can necessitate extensive purification.
  • the known routes are non-convergent and rather long which leads to a relatively high cost of goods.
  • the present invention therefore provides a process for the preparation of a compound of formula (I) (I)
  • R 1 is a suitable hydrazine protecting group, with a compound of formula (III)
  • R 2 is an aldehyde group (-CHO) or the functional equivalent thereof.
  • the reaction may optionally be carried out in the presence of an inert solvent.
  • a preferred solvent is acetonitrile.
  • the reaction is usually carried out in the presence of an acid catalyst, preferably sulphuric acid, hydrochloric acid, hydrobromic acid, hydroiodic acid, phosphoric acid or tetrafluoroboric acid, most preferably sulphuric acid.
  • the product may be isolated as the free base or, depending on which acid catalyst is used, as a salt.
  • a suitable hydrazine protecting group is one that is able to stabilise the hydrazine under the reaction conditions but does not prevent its participation in the reaction with compound (III).
  • Such a protecting group will usually be acid-labile.

  • Aryl means a radical formed by removing a hydrogen atom from an aromatic hydrocarbon and is preferably phenyl or naphthyl.
  • Preferred salts of a compound of formula (IIA) are the ammonium salt and salts containing a Group I or Group II metal cation. Most preferred is the calcium salt of formula:
  • a functional equivalent of an aldehyde is one that will break down under the reaction conditions to release an aldehyde or one that will take part in the reaction as an electrophile as if it were an aldehyde.
  • Particular functional equivalents worthy of mention are aldehyde hydrates, hemiacetals and acetals.
  • a preferred compound of formula (III) is an acetal of formula:
  • R 4 and R 5 are each independently Ci-Ce alkyl, or R 4 and R 5 , taken together, form a 1 ,2-ethylene or 1 ,3-propylene group optionally substituted by one or more d- C ⁇ alkyl group(s).
  • alkyl groups containing the requisite number of carbon atoms, can be unbranched or branched chain. Examples of alkyl include methyl, ethyl, n-propyl, i-propyl, n-butyl, i-butyl, sec-butyl and t-butyl.

  • the compound of formula (IB) being eletriptan.
  • the process of the invention is equally suitable for preparing a compound of formula (IA) or (IB) or any mixture thereof.
