Description
PROCESS FOR PREPARATION OF MEDETOMIDINE
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
Field of the Invention
The present disclosure relates to a process for the preparation of an imidazole derivative, 4-[l-(2, 3-Dimethylphenyl) ethyl]- IH-imidazole and related intermediates. The synthesis is made from affordable commercially available starting materials. Many of the previous synthesis use expensive 4-substituted imidazole derivatives as starting material. In this invention the imidazole ring is instead built up during the synthesis.
Description of the Related Art
4-[l-(2, 3-Dimethylphenyl) ethyl] -IH-imidazole is commonly known as medetomidine (I).
Medetomidine, first described in EP-A-72615, is a racemic mixture of equal proportions of two optical enantiomers, the levo- and dextro-rotatory optical isomers (MacDonald et al., 1991 ; Savola and Virtanen, 1991) with generic names levomedetomidine (LEV) and dexmedetomidine (DEX) respectively. This compound belongs to a new class of alpha2 -receptor agonists containing a 4- substituted imidazole ring with high selectivity towards 2-adrenoreceptors (Savola et al, 1986).
Receptors affected by catecholamine neurotransmitters, such as
norepinephrine and epinephrine, are termed adrenergic receptors (or
adrenoceptors) and can be divided into alpha- and beta-subclasses. The alpha2-
adrenoreceptors are involved in the auto-inhibitory mechanism of neurotransmitter release and play a significant role in the regulation of hypertension, bradycardia (reduced heartbeat rate) and even regulation of alertness and analgesia (reduced sensitivity to pain).
Medetomidine has been studied in human clinical trials and has also been used as an anesthetic for animals with the (S)-enantiomer, dexmedetomidine, being the active component.
Recently, it has been reported that certain pharmacological compounds that act upon serotonin and dopamine neurotransmitters have the ability to either impede or promote the attachment of certain marine organisms e.g. barnacles. U.S. patent 7,531 ,581 taught for the first time the use of medeotmidine as antifouling agent. Later on, U.S. patent 7,31 1 ,766 and U.S. patent 7,531 ,581 disclosed coating compositions comprising medetomidine for inhibiting or preventing marine biofouling on a solid surface.
The potential uses of medetomidine necessitate the availability of the same affordable, economically viable process for its preparation.
There are few methods known for the preparation of medetomidine.
A multistep process for the preparation of medetomidine has been described by Kudzma et al. This process is disadvantageous as it involves usage of a highly inflammable and corrosive compound like butyl lithium, and further, the reaction is carried out at low temperature of about -78°C.
European patent EP1918282 describes a method of preparation of medetomidine and its salts. The method utilizes halogenated imidazoles towards transmetalation with Grignard reagents and the subsequent reaction with 2, 3- dimethyl benzaldehyde. The method involves protection of the imidazole nitrogen and deprotection using trityl chloride.
Cordi et al, discloses a method of preparation of medetomidine in the form of its tartarate salt. The drawback with this method is that the synthesis starts from rather expensive starting materials.
GB2453982 describes a method of preparation of medetomidine that comprises reacting 2, 3-dimethyl-methylbenzylalcohol with N-
trimethylsilylimidazole. The method suffers from the disadvantage of requiring the use of strong Lewis acids and excess of reagents. The present disclosure provides a simple yet non-obvious process, which can overcome the disadvantages of the methods already known in the prior art. The multi-step process starting from 2, 3-dimethylbenzoic acid is scalable and safe for commercial production. The synthetic route is also an economically viable route for the preparation of medetomidine.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
The present disclosure provides a process for the preparation of medetomidine (formula I),
Formula I
comprising the steps of:
esterifying 2, 3-dimethylbenzoic acid to (2-nitrophenyl)-2,3- dimethylbenzoate;
converting (2-nitrophenyl)-2,3-dimethylbenzoate to l-(2,3-dimethylphenyl)- 2-nitroethanone;
preparing 3-(benzylamino)-l -(2,3-dimethylphenyl)-2-nitro-prop-2-en-l-one from 1 -(2,3-dimethylphenyl)-2-nitroethanone;
reducing 3-(benzylamino)-l-(2,3-dimethylphenyl)-2-nitro-prop-2-en-l-one to 2-amino-3-(benzylamino)-l-(2, 3-dimethylphenyl)prop-2-en-l-one;
cyclizing 2-amino-3-(benzylamino)-l-(2,3-dimethylphenyl)prop-2-en-l-one to (l -benzylimidazol-4-yl)-(2,3-dimethylphenyl) methanone;
converting (l-benzylimidazol-4-yl)-(2,3-dimethylphenyl)methanone to 1- benzyl-4- [l -(2,3-dimethylphenyl)vinyl]imidazole; and
hydrogenating l-benzyl-4- [l-(2,3-dimethylphenyl)vinyl]imidazole to obtain compound of Formula I.
Instead of using expensive 4-substituted imidazole derivatives as a starting material, the present method relies on building up the imidazole ring during the synthesis. Furthermore, none of the reaction steps require temperatures below 0°C which is an advantage since cooling large volumes below 0°C is quite expensive and time consuming.

A solution of 2b (300 g, 1.5 mol) in N, N- dimethylformamide (300 ml) was added dropwise at about 0- 5 °C and stirred for about 30 min. The reaction mixture was slowly warmed to 45 °C and stirred for 12 h. The reaction mixture was poured into ice-cold water (6 L) and pH adjusted to 7.5 with Cone. HC1. The resultant solid was filtered, suspended in 2.5 N HC1 (1.5 L) and extracted with ethyl acetate (3 L).

The reaction mixture was cooled, filtered through celite and the celite washed with methanol (100 ml). The combined organic filtrates were concentrated to furnish thick pale yellow syrupy mass. The crude material was crystallized with 10 % toluene - cyclohexane (470 ml) to afford 8 (compound of formula I), 4-[l - (2, 3-Dimethylphenyl) ethyl] -l H-imidazole or medetomidine as a white solid. Yield 28.5 g (87 %)
!H NMR (300 MHz, CDC13): δ 7.38 (s, 1H), 7.07- 6.94(m, 3H), 6.70 (s, 1H), 4.38 (q, J = 7.2 Hz, 1H), 2.29 (s, 3H), 2.22 (s, 3H), 1.58 (d, J = 7.2 Hz, 3H)
