Description

AN IMPROVED PROCESS FOR THE PREPARATION OF

TELMISARTAN FIELD OF INVENTION

The present invention relates to an improved process for the preparation of [4'-(2- n-propyl-4-methyl-6-( 1 -methylbenzimidazol-2-yl)benzimidazol- 1 - ylmethyl]biphenyl-2-carboxylic acid (Telmisartan) of Formula I.

Formula I

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

Telmisartan is the INN (International Nonproprietary Name) for the compound 4'- [2-n-propyl-4-methyl-6-( 1 -methylbenzimidazol-2-yl)benzimidazol- 1 - ylmethyl]biphenyl-2-carboxylic acid. (CAS Registry No. 144701-48-4) The empirical formula of telmisartan is C33H3oN402 and its molecular weight is 514.63. The molecular structure of telmisartan is represented by Formula I.

The synthesis of Telmisartan was first described in U.S. Pat. No. 5,591,762 (hereinafter the '762 patent) by hydrolysis of the tertiary-butyl ester precursor of Telmisartan, in particular, tert-butyl 4'[2-n-propyl-4-methyl-6-(l- methylbenzimidazol-2-yl)benzimidazol- 1 -ylmethyl]biphenyl-2-carboxylic acid using trifluoroacetic acid in N,N-dimethylformamide (DMF).

Telmisartan

Chinese patent application CN 1412183 (hereinafter the Ί83 application) describes a process for preparing Telmisartan, which includes reacting 2-n-propyl-4-methyl- 6-(l-methylbenzimidazol-2-yl)benzimidazole with 4'-(bromomethyl)-[l,l '- biphenyl]-2 -carbonitrile to afford the carbonitrile derivative of Telmisartan, i.e., 4'- [ 1 ,4 ' -dimethyl-2 ' -propyl [2,6' -bi- 1 H-benzimidazol] - 1 ' -yl-)methyl] -[1,1 '-biphenyl] - -carbonitrile, followed by hydrolysis of the cyano group to afford Telmisartan.

Figure imgf000003_0002

Chinese patent application CN 1344712 (hereinafter the '712 application) describes the preparation of Telmisartan by reacting 2-n-propyl-4-methyl-6-(l- methylbenzimidazol-2-yl)benzimidazole with 4'-(bromomethyl)-[l,r-biphenyl]-2- carboxylic acid methyl or ethyl ester via nucleophilic substitution, to give the carboxylic ester derivatives of Telmisartan, followed by hydrolysis to afford Telmisartan.

Figure imgf000004_0001

WO 2006/044648 describes synthetic route, which is similar to- the synthesis described in the '712 application, using a low boiling solvent and a PTC.

In general, Telmisartan is manufactured and supplied in its free acid form. However, as described in US 6,410,742 crystalline Telmisartan apparently exists in two polymorphic forms A and B, which have different melting points. Both of these forms are apparently very poorly soluble in aqueous systems at the physiological pH range 1 to 7, in the gastro-intestinal tract.

The critical step in the manufacturing process of Telmisartan is the n-alkylation of 2-n-propyl-4-methyl-6-( 1 -methylbenzimidazol-2-yl)- 1 H-benzimidazole (DMPBB) of formula VII with 4'-halomethylbiphenyl-2-carboxylic acid alkyl ester of formula VIII. The synthesis of substituted benzimidazoles is desirably carried out by first reducing methyl-4-(butyramido)-3-methyl-5-nitrobenzoate of formula III under various catalytic hydrogenation conditions to yield methyl-3-amino-4- (butyramido)-5-methylbenzoate. The reduction step is carried out under different conditions using Raney Ni/H2, Pd-C/H2, Sn(II)chloride and Fe/HCl, Sn/HCl as per the literature known procedures.

Methyl-3-amino-4-(butyramido)-5-methylbenzoate of formula III is cyclized under variety of basic and acidic conditions to yield methyl-4-methyl-2-propyl-lH- benzimidazole-6-carboxylate of formula IV as per the prior art methods.

The critical intermediate l,4'-dimethyl-2'-propyl-lH,3'H-2,6'-bisbenzimidazol (DMPBB) of Formula VII is prepared in the prior art as per the following methods: US 5,591,762 describes methyl-4-(butyramido)-3-methyl-5-nitrobenzoate is reduced under catalytic hydrogenation condition using Pd/C in methanol to give the substituted aniline derivative. This aniline derivative is converted to methyl-4- methyl-2-propyl-lH-benzimidazole-6-carboxylate using acetic acid. The crude product obtained is hydrolyzed and recrystallized from isopropanol to give benzimidazole carboxylic acid, which is then converted into the desired 2-n-propyl- 4-methyl-6-( 1 -methylbenzimidazol-2-yl)benzimidazole with 2-methylamino- aniline by cyclization.

US 2007/0037986 describes a process for preparing l,7'-dimethyl-2'-propyl-2,5'- bi-lH-benzimidazole, by reacting N-methyl-o-phenylenediamine with 2-propyl-4- methyl-lH-benzimidazole-6-carboxylic acid wherein the coupling and cyclization is achieved using 1,3,5-triazine and tertiary amine.

DMPBB may be prepared by mixing 2-propyl-4-methyl-lH-benzimidazole-6- carboxylic acid with N-methyl-o-phenylene-diamine dihydrochloride with polyphospharic acid as disclosed in J. Med. Chem. 1993, 36(25), 4040-51, international patent application WO 2000/0063158, and US 2003/0139608, are hereby incorporated by reference for their disclosure of processes, which involves two-step process involving tedious work-up and purification procedures. WO 2009/133122 describes the method for the preparation of l,7'-dimethyl-2'- propyl-2,5'-bi-lH-benzimidazole by the conversion of N-methyl-o-phenylene- diamine with 2-propyl-4-methyl-lH-benzimidazol-6-carboxylic acid using phosphourus pentoxide in methane sulphonic acid solvent, at a temperature range from 110-160 °C.

Reduction of nitro groups, which is the first step in the above mentioned syntheses is achieved with a wide variety of reagents namely catalytic hydrogenation using metal supported catalysts like Pd/C, Rh C, Pt/C and dissolved metal reductions like Sn/HCl, Mercury amalgam, Sn(II) Chloride etc.

However, these methods suffer from the disadvantage that the catalysts used are very expensive and manufacturing methods involve workup using organic solvents. These facts affect the commercial viability of manufacturing process substantially. There is a need for better synthetic methodologies for the manufacture of 1,4'- dimethyl-2'-propyl-lH,3'H-2,6'-bisbenzimidazol (DMPBB) of formula VII.

We have now realized an alternate method for the synthesis of methyl-4-methyl-2- propyl-lH-benzimidazole-6-carboxylate of formula IV involving a single pot reduction and cyclodehydration as per Scheme given below:

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

N-Ortho nitro anilines are cyclized to 2-substituted benzimidazoles in one pot using reagents like Pd-C/methanol/H2 gas as described in Organic Process Research & Development 2007, 11, 81-85, Sn/HCl in Chemische Berichte 1872, 5, 920, Fe/HCl in WO 2004/108686 and Hydrazine/Raney Ni in Journal of Heterocyclic chemistry 2003, 40, 1107-1112. These reductions suffer from major draw backs of toxic inorganic byproducts and random purification procedures using column chromatography.

We have now realized methyl-4-butyramido-3-methyl-5-nitrobenzoate (II) is reacted with reducing agent selected from derivatives of sulphur like sodium sulfite, sodium sulphide, sodium dithionite, sodium metabisulfite etc. in water or an organic solvent or a mixture of water and an organic solvent with a temperature ranging 20-120 °C. Insitu reduction and cyclodehydration takes place in one-step giving methyl-4-methyl-2-propyl-lH-benzimidazole-6-carboxylate (IV). The cyclizing agent is sodium dithionite, a cheap alternate to the costly catalysts used in the reduction process of nitro compound. The insitu reduction and cyclization is carried out in water or an organic solvent or a mixture of water and an organic solvent, wherein an organic solvent selected from alcohol such as methanol, IP A, ethanol, butanol or ether such as dioxane or THF or dipolar aprotic solvent such as DMF, DMA, DMSO, NMP, sulfolane.

The above mentioned process can be carried out in presence of acids such as hydrochloric acid, sulphuric acid, acetic acid, propionic acid, benzoic acid etc., in water or an organic solvent or a mixture of water and an organic solvent.

The above mentioned process can also be carried out in presence of bases selected from alkali earth metal or alkaline earth metal hydroxides, carbonates, bicarbonates such as sodium hydroxide, potassium hydroxide, cesium hydroxide, barium hydroxide, magnesium hydroxide, calcium hydroxide, strontium hydroxide, sodium carbonate, potassium carbonate, cesium carbonate, sodium bicarbonate, potassium bicarbonate, calcium bicarbonate etc., in water or an organic solvent or a mixture of water and an organic solvent.

According to a particular embodiment, insitu reduction-cyclodehydration process of compound of formula II is treated with hydrose (Sodium dithionite), in aqueous solvent system as previously described at a temperature ranging from 20-120 °C, preferably 80-100 °C for a period of 20-48 hrs.

After completion of the insitu reduction-cyclodehydration, product is isolated from the reaction mass by neutralizing. Hydrolysis of methyl-4-methyl-2-propyl-lH-benzimidazole-6-carboxylate (IV) with base selected from inorganic bases of alkali earth metal or alkaline earth metal hydroxides, carbonates, bicarbonates such as sodium hydroxide, potassium hydroxide, cesium hydroxide, barium hydroxide, magnesium hydroxide, calcium hydroxide, strontium hydroxide, sodium carbonate, potassium carbonate, cesium carbonate, sodium bicarbonate, potassium bicarbonate, calcium bicarbonate etc., preferably sodium hydroxide, in a solvent selected from ethanol, methanol, isopropyl alcohol, preferably methanol at a temperature of 80 °C gives 2-n-propyl- 4-methyl-6-carboxy benzimidazole. The acid, 2-n-propyl-4-methyl-6-carboxy benzimidazole which is obtained by the above process is cyclized with N-methyl-o- phenylenediamine in presence of an acid selected from polyphosphoric acid, p- toluenesulfonic acid, sulphuric acid, acetic acid, preferably polyphosphoric acid at a temperature ranging 80-130 °C, preferably 120-130 °C, gives l,4'-dimethyl-2'- propyl- 1 H,3 'H-2,6'-bisbenzimidazol (VII).

Condensation of l,4'-dimethyl-2'-propyl-lH,3'H-2,6'-bisbenzimidazol (VII) with 4'-halomethylbiphenyl-2-carboxylic acid alkyl ester (VIII) in presence of base selected from potassium carbonate, sodium carbonate, potassium hydroxide, sodium hydroxide, preferably sodium hydroxide in a solvent selected from DMF, DMSO, THF, preferably DMF at a temperature ranging 0-60 °C, preferably 20-30 °C, to produce 4'-(l,4'-dimethyl-2'-propyl-lH-[2,5']benzimidazolyl-3'- ylmethyl)biphenyl-2-carboxylic acid methyl ester (IX) (Telmisartan ester).

Further hydrolysis of 4,-(l,4'-dimethyl-2'-propyl-lH-[2,5']benzimidazolyl-3'- ylmethyl)biphenyl-2-carboxylic acid methyl ester (IX) in presence of base preferably sodium hydroxide and a solvent preferably methanol to produce Telmisartan.
