Description
New industrial method for producing~ -tert-butyl-aminomethyl-4-hydroxy-m-xylene-~l, ~3-diole The present invention concerns a new method for producing therapeutically valuable ~l-tert-butylaminomethyl-4-hydroxy-m-xylene-~l, ~3-diole, which has the formula \ OH
; HO ~ C~CH~HC(CH3)3 and its acid addition salts.
The compound is known for its pharmacological properties and it has come into extensive use in treating status asthmaticus and other forms of severe bronchospasm.
The preparing of ~l-tert.-butylaminomethyl-4-, hydroxy-m-xylene-~l,~3-diole has been described e.g. in the ~ British Patents N. 1,200,~386 and 1,247,370. The method of the `! British Patent N. l, 200,886 involves several intermediate , . ~
, steps. In addition, the reduction of ester group is carried out with lithium aluminium hydride in diethyl ether or tetra-~ 20 hydrofurane, which is an expensive step and one that is I dangerous when performed on an industrial scale, owing to the risk of ignition of the solvents. The British Patent N
l,247,370 likewise comprises several steps, and part of the intermediates are produced with a very poor yield. In this method the generally known selenium dioxide oxidation is employed. The present invention also incorporates a similar oxidation, but the starting substance is another compound.
The method of the British Patent N 1,247,370 comprises as its last step a procedure which is unsuitable for industrial production runs: lithium aluminium hydride reduction and extraction of the product from an aqueous solution. However, knowing the solubility characteristics of ~ -tert.-butylamino-.' ~
., .
.. . .
~ 104~;S~
methy,l-4-hydroxy-m-xylene-al, ~3-diole, one may say that the method is realizable on a laboratory scale only.
A method appropriate for industrial production work has now been invented, wherein ~ -tert.-butylaminomethyl-4-hydroxy-m-xylene-a1,a3-diole can be easily produced with a good yield in a continuous process, without isolating the intermediate products. The invention is characterized by a continuous production process taking place in one substrate and starting from a benzoic acid derivative having the formula ROOC
ArCH20~ COCH3 II
wherein R = a lower straight-chain or branching hydrocarbon radical containing from 1 to 6 carbon atoms, and Ar = an aryl group, and which is oxidized with selenium dioxide in dioxane ,~

-'' and from which latter the arylmethyl protective group may~ -be removed by catalytic hydration.
An essential feature of the invention is the continui-ty of the method, which has been achieved by protecting the phenolic hydroxyl group in the benzoic acid derivative with the aid of a suitable arylmethyl group. In this manner the losses in the isolation and purification of intermediates are avoided and the final product is obtained in a highly pure and easily isolated form. The intermediates (III, V
and VIII) formed in our method all are also new compounds, the preparation and properties of which have not been described in the literature heretofore.
In our method the ester derivative (II) is first oxidized with selenium dioxide in dioxane, preferably at the 1, boiling point of the solvent, to give the corresponding glyoxal s derivative (III). In the continuation the reaction mixture may be used as such, after the selenium precipitated in the reaction has been filtered off.
When to the filtrate tert.- butylamine is added, standing at room temperature for a few hours already suffices for the formation of the desired imine derivative (V). Thus, by means of a suitable choice of solvent and of temperature, ~ .
. ~, .
1()406S8 the reaction of the tert.-butylamine with the second reactive keto group in the glyoxal derivative (III) has been prevented.
An unexpected feature of the invention is further-more the simultaneous hydrogenation and reduction of the carbon-nitrogen double bond in the imine derivative (V) and of the keto and ester group by the aid of a suitable alkali metal aluminium hydride derivative. No reaction of this type has been presented in the literature heretofore. When the reducing ~ -agent used is sodium bis(2-methoxyethoxy)-aluminium hydride or sodium aluminium diethylhydride, the solvent is most usually benzene or toluene, which both may also be used in the present instance. However, it has unexpectedly been found that a better result is achieved if the reaction is carried out in dioxane that is, the reaction mixture used in the preparation of the imine derivative may be used as such. It is indicated to evaporate the excess amount of tert.-butylamine at reduced pressure, in order to save reducing agent. This simultaneous -hydrogenation and reduction of the imine derivative (V) is only possible provided that the phenolic hydroxyl group in the benzene ring is protected. If no protection has been applied, one has to extract the product from an aqueous solu-tion, considering the known solubility characteristics of ~1_ ' tert.-butylaminonethyl-4-hydroxy-m-xylene-~1, ~3-diole, thisis an impossible undertaking on an industrial scale, and in ; addition considerable amounts of undesired secondary products are formed.
The arylmethyl protective group in the compound (VIII) may be removed by catalytic hydration, for which ' palladium carbon, for instance, is a suitable catalyst and '~ 30 alcohol, for instance, is a suitable solvent.
The invention is illustrated with the ald of examples in the following.

The reaction mixture is further heated during this addition until the reaction mixture boils (appr. 100 C). Reflux boiling is continued for 6 hrs. During the boiling the colour bf the reaction mixture turns black, owing to the selenium precipitated.
After the boiling the mixture is allowed to cool to room temperature. The selenium is filtered off. (If it is desired --to isolate the glyoxal derivative, this is done by evaporating the dioxane, whereby the glyoxal derivative, prepared in this manner, is obtained as a viscous oil.) Addition to the filtrate at room temperature, of 5.9 kg tert.-butylamine and agitation for 4 hrs at room temperature. Evaporation of the excess of tert.-butylamine at reduced pressure.
The reaction mixture is poured, in a nitrogen atmosphere, into 40 kg of a 70% benzene solution of sodium bis(2-methoxyethoxy~aluminium hydride. The addition is made at about 60C. After the addition, reflux boiling for one hour. The complex compound of reducing agent and product is decomposed in normal manner with the aid of water and hydrochloric acid. The oily product layer is separated, ~ dissolved in chloroform, dried with sodium sulphate and treated ; with active carbon. Evaporation of the chloroform at reduced pressure.

Heating is continued until the reaction mixture boils (appr. 100C), followed by reflux boiling for six hours. During the boiling the reaction mixture turns black from precipitated selenium. The reaction mixture is ~ -allowed to cool to room temperature and the precipitated selenium is filtered off. Addition to the filtrate at room temperature of 6.6 kg tert. butylamine and agitation at room ~-temperature during four hours. The excess tert. butylamine -~
is evaporated at reduced pressure.
Dioxane solution at room temperature is added in a nitrogen atmosphere to 85.5 kg of a 25% toluene solution of sodium aIuminium diethyldihydride at a rate such that the temperature in the reaction mixture does not exceed 25C.
Following the addition, agitation is continued at 25C for one hour. The complex compound of product and reducing agent that has formed is decomposed in normal manner by adding water and alkali solution. The additions have to be made slowly owing to the effervescence caused by released ethane.
The organic phase is separated and insipissated. 135 kg of 95% ethanol are added to the inspissation residue. Further, addition of 0.3 kg of 10% palladium carbon and hydrogenation at normal pressure, until the hydrogen consumption ceases. On removal of the catalyst, the solvents are evaporated. The product is crystallized from the evaporation residue with the aid of a methanol/ethyl acetate mixture.
