Description

Process for Preparation of Triclabendazole
Field of Invention
The present invention relates to a novel, cost-effective process for preparation of Triclabendazole.
Background of the Invention

Figure imgf000002_0001
is a halogenated benzimidazole compound that possesses high activity against immature and adult stages of the liver fluke, Faciola hepatica. The intensive use of Triclabendazole in endemic areas of facioliasis has resulted in the development of liver flukes resistant to this compound.
US 4, 197,307 discloses the process for the preparation of Triclabendazole, wherein 4- chloro-5-(2,3-dichlorophenoxy)-l,2-benzenediamine is reacted with carbondisulfide to give cyclic benzimidazole thione, which is further subjected to alkylation reaction with dimethyl sulfate to give Triclabendazole.
Chinese patent 10155523 ldescribes a process for the preparation of Triclabendazole by hydrolysing N-(4,5-dichloro-2-nitrophenyl)acetamide of formula VII to 4,5- dichloro-2-nitroaniline of formula VIII and condensing it with 2,3-dichlorophenol of formula VI in presence of a phase transfer catalyst to obtain 4-chloro-5(2,3- dichlorophenoxy)-2-nitroaniline of formula IV, which is further reduced in presence of Iron to obtain 4-chloro-5-(2,3-dichlorophenoxy)benzene-l ,2-diamine of formula III. The obtained diamine of formula III is cyclised in presence of carbondisulfide to obtain 6-chloro-5-(2,3-dichlorophenoxy)- lH-benzimidazole-2-thiol of formula II. The compound of formula II is methylated using dimethyl sulphate to obtain Triclabendazole of formula I. The process disclosed in this patent is illustrated in scheme 1 below:

I
However, the above prior art process is not preferred at a commercial scale because the hydrolysis of N-(4,5-dichloro-2-nitrophenyl)acetamide of formula VII is carried out before condensation with 2,3-dichlorophenol of formula VI, which is labile to formation of impurities and moreover the condensation is carried out in the presence of a phase transfer catalyst. Further, Iron is used as a catalyst for reduction which is riot environment friendly and involves tedious work-up. The final compound Triclabendazole is directly obtained by the methylating the compound of formula II using dimethylsulfate. The purity of thus obtained Triclabendazole is not high. Thus it is highly desirable to develop a process which overcomes most of the prior art drawbacks. The present inventors have developed a process for the preparation of Thiabendazole, which is environment friendly, technologically safe, simple and cost effective
