Description
PROCESS FOR THE PREPARATION OF ESCITALOPRAM OR ITS ACID ADDITION SALTS
Field of Invention The present invention relates an improved process for the preparation of
Escitalopram, which is the S-enantiomer of well known antidepressant drug Citalopram, /. e. (S)- 1 -[3 -(dimethylamino)propyl] - 1 -(4-flouorphenyl)- 1 ,3 -dihydro-5 - isobenzofuran carbonitrile or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof. Background of Invention Citalopram is a well-known antidepressant drug that has now been in the market for some years and has the following structure shown in figure 1 :
Figure 1 It is a selective centrally acting serotonin (5-hydroxytryptamine; 5-HT) reuptake inhibitor, accordingly having antidepressant activities.
Citalopram was first disclosed in DE 2,657,013, corresponding to US 4,136,193. This patent publication outlines a process for preparation of Citalopram from the corresponding 5-bromo derivatives by reaction with cuprous cyanide in a suitable solvent. US' 193 describes the C-alkylation reaction of 5-cyanophthalane with 3-NjN'-dimethylaminopropyl chloride using sodium hydride as a base ϊn dimethyl sulphoxide (DMSO) medium. 13 volumes of DMSO is used in this reaction with respect to 5-cyanophthalane. After the completion of the reaction Citalopram base is isolated as oil, which is purified by high vacuum distillation (0.03mm at 175-18O0C) and then converted into acid addition salts by conventional methods. A main drawback of this process is the need to purify the oily Citalopram base using high vacuum distillation (0.03mm) at 175-18O0C. Achieving such a high vacuum at plant level is difficult and apart from these constraints, the process has another drawback in that Citalopram base having a cyano group at the 5th position of the bicyclic ring system may decompose during high vacuum distillation at high temperature to form
Citalopram carboxamide as one of the impurity, resulting in poor quality product and yield.
Another drawback of US' 193 is the use of 13 volumes of DMSO as a reaction medium for generation of sodium salt of DMSO (demsil ion). DMSO being a very polar solvent may result in the formation of impurities such as l-[3- (dimethylamino)propyl] - 1 -(4-fluorophenyl)-5 -acetyl- 1 ,3 -dihydroisobenzofuran (acetyl Citalopram), 1 - [3 -(dimethylamino)ρropyl]- 1 -(4-fluorophenyl)-5 -acetyl- 1,3- dihydroisobenzofuran carboxamide (amide), l-[3-(dimethylamino)propyl]-l-(4- fluoropheny^-S-acetyl-l^-dihydroisobenzofuran-S-carboxalic acid (acid) and l-[3- (methylamino)propyl]-l-(4-fluorophenyl)-5-acetyl-l,3-dihydroisobenzofuran-5- carbonitrile (desmethyl) are formed during the workup due to the degradation and decomposition of the reaction mass, resulting in poor quality of Citalopram.
US Patent No.4,650,884 discloses diol of formula (II), 4-[4-(dimethylamino)-l- (4 ' -fluorophenyl)- 1 -hydroxy- 1 -butyl] -3 -(3 -hydroxy methyl)-benzonitrile, its preparation and use as an intermediate in the preparation of Citalopram. Further processes for the preparation of Citalopram by exchange of 5-halogen or CF3-(CF2)n- SO2-O-, n being 0-8, with cyano are disclosed in WOOOl 1926 and WO0013648.
Escitalopram, the pharmaceutical activity thereof and crystalline oxalate are disclosed in US Patent no. 4,943,590. Methods for the preparation of Escitalopram along with the disclosure of Escitalopram free base existing as an oil as well as the oxalic, pamoic and L-(+)-tartaric acid addition salts of Escitalopram are disclosed in US'590.
In US'590, two routes are disclosed, both of them starting with racemic diol. In the first route (scheme 1) the diol is reacted with enantiomerically pure derivatives such as (+) or (-)-α-methoxy-α-trifluoromethylphenyl acetyl chloride to form a mixture of diastereomeric esters, which are separated by HPLC or fractional crystallization, where upon the ester with the right stereochemistry is enantioselectively converted into Escitalopram. In the second route the diol is separated into enantiomers by stereo selective crystallization with an enantiomerically pure acid such as (+)-di-Jp- toluoyltartaric acid, whereupon the S-enantiomer of the diol is enantioselectively converted to Escitalopram. Both of theses routes involve consumption of expensive, enantiomerically pure reagents, and give relatively low yields resulting in products which are economically infeasible for industrial production.

In WO 03/006449 process for the preparation of Escitalopram is disclosed. According to this publication the diol 4-[4-(dimethylamino)- 1 -(4 '-fluorophenyl)- 1 - hydroxy- 1 -butyl] -3 -(3 -hydroxy methyl)-benzonitrile is separated into its enantiomers by chromatography using a chiral stationary phase. The obtained enantiomerically pure isomer can be transformed into Escitalopram by treating with p-tohiene sulphonyl chloride in the presence of base such as triethylamine. This process requires additional chromatographic purification to get pure Escitalopram. The salt is subjected to crystallization in a solvent medium to get enantiomerically enriched crystalline form (scheme 2).

There is no method, which enables one, a priori; to forecast which solvent system is effective in separating a given pair of enantiomers In highly pure form and in high yields. Therefore there is a need to develop an improved process for Escitalopram production that can be employed commercially. Especially such an improved process would be welcome considering the difficulties associated with the commercial application of the above-mentioned processes for the preparation of Escitalopram. Keeping this aspect into consideration, we aimed to develop a simple and economical process for commercial production of Escitalopram.
