Description

FIELD OF THE INVENTION
This invention is directed to novel processes for resolution of piperidyl acetamide stereoisomers.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
Substituted piperidines have found use in the treatment of many nervous system disorders. For example, methylphenidate has been used to treat Attention Deficit Disorder (ADD), Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) and cognitive decline in Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome (AIDS) and AIDS Related Complex (ARC) patients. (See, e.g., Greenhill, Child & Adol. Psych. Clin. N.A., 1995, 4, 123, and Brown, Intl. J. Psychl. Med., 1995, 25, 21).
Many currently available synthetic routes to methylphenidate and other substituted piperidines involve preparation of racemic mixtures. (See, e.g., U.S. Patent 2,507,631, to Hartmann, et al ., and U.S. Patent 2,957,880, to Rometsch, et al .). There are, however, a number of disadvantages associated with racemic mixtures of such drugs. Current administration of racemic methylphenidate often results in notable side effects such as anorexia, weight loss, insomnia, dizziness and dysphoria. Additionally, racemic methylphenidate produces a euphoric effect when administered intravenously or through inhalation, and thus carries a high potential for substance abuse in patients.
U.S. Patent Nos. 2,507,631 and 2,957,880 disclose synthetic procedures wherein methylphenidate, alternatively known as methyl α-piperid-2-ylphenylacetate, is prepared through a multi-step process in which 2-chloropyridine and phenylacetonitrile initially are coupled to form α-pyrid-2-ylphenylacetonitrile. The resulting α-pyrid-2-ylphenylacetonitrile then is hydrated in the presence of acid to yield α-pyrid-2-ylphenylacetamide which, in turn, is either: (a) catalytically hydrogenated to yield α-piperid-2-ylphenylacetamide and then converted to methyl α-piperid-2-ylphenylacetate, or (b) converted to methyl α-pyrid-2-ylphenylacetate which, in turn, is hydrogenated to yield methyl α-piperid-2-ylphenylacetate.
In the first embodiment of U.S. Patent No. 2,507,631 and in the process described in U.S. Patent No. 2,957,880 , α-piperid-2-ylphenylacetamide is first separated into the threo and erythro diastereomeric racemates. This is accomplished through evaporation of the solvent utilized in the hydrogenation (i.e., acetic acid), addition of sodium hydroxide to precipitate the α-piperid-2-ylphenylacetamide free base, recrystallization of this amide from ethyl acetate, and preferential crystallization of the erythro form by passing gaseous hydrogen chloride through an ethanolic solution of the amide.
The isolated erythro racemate then is resolved through formation of the l-tartrate salt, repeated recrystallizations of this salt from 96% ethanol are performed until a constant rotation is obtained, and the l-erythro form of α-piperid-2-ylphenylacetamide is precipitated with sodium hydroxide. The l-erythro form of α-piperid-2-ylphenylacetamide thus obtained is said to be subjected to epimerization to yield the desired d-threo diastereomer of α-piperid-2-ylphenylacetamide through treatment with 6 M potassium hydroxide. According to the disclosed procedure, the α-piperid-2-ylphenylacetamide thus obtained is converted to d-threo methyl α-piperid-2-ylphenylacetate through hydrolysis and esterification.
Some in the art have raised doubts as to whether the procedures disclosed in U.S. Patent Nos. 2,507,631 and 2,957,880 do, in fact, produce the desired d-threo isomer. Indeed, J.R. Soares, "Stereochemical Studies On Potential Central Nervous System Active Agents and Studies On The Chemistry Of Some 3-Benzoylpiperidines," 1971, Columbia University Ph.D. dissertation, p. 115, discloses that "all attempts to epimerize the resolved erythro-amides to the corresponding threo-amides by the procedure outlined in [ U.S. 2,957,880 ] failed completely."
In any event, the synthetic procedure described in U.S. Patent Nos. 2,507,631 and 2,957,880 is wasteful in that it involves discarding the threo α-piperid-2-ylphenylacetamide racemate which is isolated following the recrystallization step and which typically represents approximately 25% of the acetamide product obtained via hydrogenation.
Consequently, there remains a need in the art for alternative synthetic procedures for the preparation of methylphenidate and other substituted piperidines. In particular, there is a need for synthetic procedures that do not require separating and discarding threo stereoisomers from the hydrogenation reaction product.
OBJECTS OF THE INVENTION
It is an object of the present invention to provide processes for the preparation of substituted piperidines.
It is another object of this invention to provide processes that provide synthetic intermediates and, hence, products having high optical purity.
It is yet another object to provide processes that proceed more efficiently than the processes disclosed by the prior art.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
These and other objects are satisfied by the present invention, which provides processes and intermediates for preparing piperidyl acetamides. In preferred embodiments, the processes of the invention comprise reacting d,l-threo piperidyl acetamide stereoisomers having formulas IIa and IIb: (R1 = aryl having about 6 to about 28 carbon atoms) with dibenzoyl-D-tartaric acid in an organic solvent, thereby forming acid salts of the d-threo stereoisomers preferentially with respect to the l-threo stereoisomers. The resulting acid salts then are reacted with aqueous base to form the corresponding piperidyl acetamide, which subsequently is converted to a corresponding ester.
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
This invention provides novel processes for stereoselective synthesis of a variety 2-substituted piperidine stereoisomers. In one aspect, the invention is directed to synthetic methods involving hydrogenation of pyridines having formula I: wherein R1 is aryl having about 6 to about 28 carbon atoms. Aryl groups, as used herein, are aromatic groups containing a delocalized π-electron cloud. Such aromatic groups can be substituted with one or more substituents, such as, for example, halo, alkyl, aryl, hydroxy, alkoxy, carboxy, and cycloalkyl. Exemplary aryl groups include phenyl, naphthyl, xylyl, chlorophenyl, fluorophenyl, trifluoromethylphenyl, and bromophenyl. Phenyl groups are preferred.
This hydrogenation can be effected by any of the numerous techniques known in the art. One preferred hydrogenation technique involves reacting the pyridine with hydrogen gas in the presence of a suitable catalyst in an alkanoic acid having 1 to about 10 carbon atoms. The hydrogenation preferably run at 25 °C and 40 psi. Representative catalysts contain platinum, with platinum oxide being particularly preferred. One preferred alkanoic acid is acetic acid.
Hydrogenation of pyridine I provides a mixture of piperidine diastereomers IIa-d:
In accordance with the present invention, this mixture is treated with an organic base in an organic solvent to epimerize the erythro stereoisomers into threo forms. The epimerization can, for example, be effected in an aromatic hydrocarbon solvent such as toluene using an alkali metal alkoxide such as potassium tert-butoxide. In preferred embodiments, the epimerization is effected at 70 °C in an aromatic hydrocarbon solvent such as toluene using two equivalents of an alkali metal alkoxide such as potassium tert-butoxide.
The resulting composition, which should consist predominantly of d,l-threo piperidyl acetamide stereoisomers, is reacted with dibenzoyl-D-tartaric acid in an organic solvent, thereby forming acid salts of the d-threo stereoisomers preferentially with respect to the l-threo stereoisomers. Alkyl groups according to the invention are hydrocarbons which are straight, branched, or cyclic. Such hydrocarbons can be substituted with one or more substituents, such as, for example, halo, hydroxy, alkoxy, and carboxy groups. Exemplary alkyl groups include methyl, ethyl, isopropyl, n-butyl, t-butyl, n-pentyl, acetyl, trifluoromethyl, chloromethyl, and hexyl groups. Representative solvents include alcohols, alkyl alkanoates (e.g., ethyl acetate), ketones (e.g., acetone), and ethers (e.g., tetrahydrofuran, dioxane). Preferred solvents are alcohols having 1 to about 5 carbon atoms, include branched and straight chain compounds such as ethyl, propyl and tert-butyl alcohol, with isopropanol being particularly preferred. The reaction of piperidyl acetamide stereoisomers with acid resolving agents preferably is performed with stirring at room temperature.
The acid salts obtained via resolution typically are dissolved in water and treated with an aqueous base such as a carbonate, bicarbonate, or hydroxide to precipitate the corresponding piperidyl amide free base in substantially pure form. They then can be reacted with an alcohol having, for example, 1 to about 5 carbon atoms in the presence of acid to form the corresponding ester.
Additional objects, advantages, and novel features of this invention will become apparent to those skilled in the art upon examination of the following examples thereof, which are not intended to be limiting.
Example 1 Preparation of d-Threo-methylphenidate Hydrochloride Via Diastereomeric Separation and Resolution of d,l-erythro-Amide (Comparative Example) A. α-Phenyl-α-pyridyl-(2)-acetonitrile Materials:
2-Chloropyridine (99%) 286 g (2.50 moles)
Benzyl cyanide (98%) 314 g (2.62 moles)
Sodium amide (90%) 217 g (5.00 moles)
Toluene 0.98 + 0.17 L
Water 0.87 L
Ethyl acetate 0.43 L
Hexanes 1.56 + 1.95 L
Brine 0.43 L
Procedure:
A 5L multi-neck glass reactor was charged with 2-chloropyridine, benzyl cyanide, and toluene (0.98 L). Sodium amide powder was added over a 1h period via a solid-addition funnel, keeping the reaction temperature below 30°C. The reaction mixture was stirred for 16h at ambient temperature. The reaction was then cooled to ∼ 10°C, and quenched with 0.87 L water. Ethyl acetate (0.43 L) was added to solubilize the precipitated product. The organic layer was separated and washed once with 0.43 L brine. Solvent was removed from the organic layer on a rotovap, and toluene (0.17L), followed by hexanes (1.56 L), were added to the resulting residue. The resulting slurry was filtered. The filter cake was washed with hexanes (1.95 L), and dried to give 441 g of α-phenyl-α-pyridyl-(2)-acetonitrile as light brown crystals (90% yield based on 2-chloropyridine).
B. α-Phenyl-α-pyridyl-(2)-acetamide Materials:
α-Phenyl-α-pyridyl-(2)-acetonitrile 441 g (2.27 moles)
0.55 L
Water 1.63 L
50% NaOH 1.27 L
Procedure:
The reactor was charged with conc. H2SO4, and cooled to ∼ 10°C. α-Phenyl-α-pyridyl-(2)-acetonitrile (from Example 1.A) was added portionwise, keeping the temperature below 30°C. The reaction was stirred at ambient temperature for 16h. The reaction mixture then was cooled to 10°C, at which point water was added. The NaOH then was added to a pH of 12, keeping the temperature below 30°C. The resulting crystals were filtered, and the filter cake was washed with water and dried under vacuum to give 482 g (100%) of α-phenyl-α-pyridyl-(2)-acetamide.
NH4OH can be substituted for NaOH to adjust the pH to 12. One advantage of using NH4OH is that the by-product that is formed (ammonium sulfate) is more soluble in water then the by-product (sodium sulfate) formed when NaOH is used as the base. Thus, the product crystals are less likely to be contaminated with inorganic salts.
