- DMF N,N-di
- the cyclization is carried out at a temperature in the range from_0 °C to the boiling point of the solvent used.
- the present method is performed by processing the reaction mixture by dilution with water or by pouring of the reaction mixture into water, acidification and subsequent isolation of the insoluble product by filtration or centrifugation.
- the purification method of the compounds of formula I, obtained by the present method is carried out by crystallization from suitable solvents, including alcohols, e.g. methanol, ethanol, isopropanol, esters of aliphatic acids, e.g. methyl acetate, ethyl acetate, isopropyl acetate, amides, e.g. yV,N-dimethyl formamide, N,N- dimethyl acetamide, 1 -methyl pyrrolidone, ethers, e.g. dioxan, 1 ,2-dimethoxyethane, 1 - methoxy-2-(2-methoxyethoxy)ethane, or mixtures of these solvents.
- suitable solvents including alcohols, e.g. methanol,
- Another object of the invention provides use of alkyl 2-ethoxy- l -((2'-(5-oxo-4,5-dihydro- l ,2,4-oxadiazol-3-yl)biphenyl-4-yl)methyl)- l H-benzo[i/]imidazole-7-carboxylates of formula I, wherein R is either a branched or unbranched C i -C 4 alkyl, ArC3 ⁇ 4, Ar 2 CH, or Ar 3 C, wherein Ar is a substituted or unsubstituted phenyl, for the preparation of azilsartan of formula II,
- Another object provides a method of preparing azilsartan of formula II, consisting in basically initiated cyclization of the corresponding alkoxycarbonyl derivatives of formula VI
- Preferable solvents that can be used in the method of preparing azilsartan of formula II include a dipolar aprotic solvent, most preferably DMSO or NMP.
- Bases used include at least two molar equivalents of an alkali metal alcoholate R"OM, wherein R" is a branched or unbranched C 1 -C8 alkyl and M is an alkali metal.
- the cyclization and conversion to the salt of azilsartan are carried out at a temperature from 0°C to the boiling point of the mixture, preferably at a temperature of 20 to 25°C.
- Another embodiment includes carrying the method of preparing azilsartan of formula II, consisting in basically initiated cyclization of the corresponding alkoxycarbonyl derivatives of formula VI, out in one reaction step, i.e., performing the basically initiated cyclization of alkoxycarbonyl derivatives of formula VI by stirring a solution of the starting compounds in a suitable solvent, preferably in a dipolar aprotic solvent, most preferably in DMSO, in the presence of at least two molar equivalents of an alkali metal alcoholate R"OM, wherein R" is a branched or unbranched C 1 -C8 alkyl and M is an alkali metal, at a temperature in the range from 0°C to the boiling point of the solvent used, preferably at a temperature of 0°C to 50°C, most preferably at the room temperature.
- the method of purification the compounds of formula II is carried out by crystallization from suitable solvents, including alcohols, e.g. methanol, ethanol, isopropanol, esters of aliphatic acids, e.g. methyl acetate, ethyl acetate, isopropyl acetate, amides, e.g. N,7V-dimefhyl formamide, /V-dimefhyl acetamide, 1 -methyl pyrrolidone, ethers, e.g. dioxan, 1 ,2- dimethoxyethane, l -methoxy-2-(2-methoxyethoxy)ethane, or mixtures of these solvents.
- suitable solvents including alcohols, e.g. methanol, ethanol, isopropanol, esters of aliphatic acids, e.g. methyl acetate, ethyl acetate, isopropyl acetate,
- R is a branched or unbranched Ci-C 4 alkyl, ArCH 2 , Ar 2 CH, or Ar 3 C, wherein Ar is a substituted or unsubstituted phenyl and R' is a branched or unbranched substituted or unsubstituted C ⁇ -C $ alkyl or a substituted or unsubstituted phenyl.
- These starting substances are readily obtainable by reaction of the starting amidoximes of formula V with the corresponding alkyl chloroformate under conventional conditions, as previously described for the reaction of the amidoxime (Va) with alkyl chloroformates having, as R', methyl, ethyl, or 3-ethylhexyl.
- compounds of formula V are formed under the above mentioned conditions. If the reaction was performed in alcohols, in particular in methanol or ethanol, the corresponding compounds of formula (V) were even the main products of the reaction. If the secondary products of formula V are contained as minority ones, they can be easily removed from the reaction mixture with regard to their considerable basicity either during the processing, which consists in pouring into water and subsequent acidification, or they can be removed by washing of the product with diluted acids on a filter, or by dissolution in a suitable solvent and shaking with diluted acids. A considerable reduction of formation of substances of formula V is achieved when weaker bases are used, e.g. potash. The reaction occurs at the room temperature, but it can also be performed at an elevated temperature.
- alkali metal alcoholates are used in suitable solvents, e.g. in DMSO, NMP, THF, and other solvents, it is not only the cyclization to the corresponding esters of formula I that occurs, but the corresponding alkali metal salts of azilsartan are also produced, which are directly converted to azilsartan by processing with acidification.
- basically initiated cyclization of N-[(alkoxycarbonyl]-oxy]imidamides of formula VI can be directly carried out to azilsartan, thus achieving shortening of the reaction sequence by one reaction step.
- the use of t-BuOK in DMSO, NMP, or other solvents is the most - preferable, thus obtaining high yields of azilsartan as after reacting at the room temperature for several hours.
- the reaction mixture was poured into a separation funnel containing water (150 ml) and the mixture was extracted with ethyl acetate (5 x 100 ml). The extract was dried with MgS0 4 and, after evaporation, 12.7 g of a solid yellowish substance were obtained. The evaporation residue was dissolved in DMSO (200 ml) and t- BuOK (8 g, 71.3 mmol) was added under stirring and cooling and the mixture was stirred at the room temperature for 5 h. Then, the reaction mixture was poured into water (750 ml) and the resulting solution was acidified with 5 % HCl. The separated product was aspirated, washed with water and air-dried.
