Description

PREPARATION OF AN EPOXIDE
The present invention relates to an epoxide useful in stereoselective preparation of benzothiazepine type pharmaceuticals, to methods for preparation of such epoxides and to sulphinate ester intermediate to the epoxide.

Ar is selected from the groups consisting of aryl heteroaryl, substituted aryl, and substituted heteroaryl and R is a carboxylic acid group or ester or a group capable of being converted to a carboxylic acid group or ester; are useful intermediates for preparation of biologically active compounds in which the stereochemistry of the final compound is controlled entirely or in part by the configuration of the chiral carbons (marked *). For example, Diltiazem, a benzothiazepine derivative which is well known as a vasodilator is one of four possible optical isomers. There is a wide variation in biological activity between Diltiazem and its three related optical isomers, Diltiazem being the isomer of commercial interest as a vasodilator. In a nonstereospecific synthesis of Diltiazem, the desired (2S,3S) isomer can be obtained in at most a 25% yield, and hence workers in the area have concentrated on stereoselective synthetic routes which require the intermediates such as the epoxide of formula I, to have a high optical purity.
We have now found that the compound of formula I may be prepared with high stereoselectivity via formation of a sulphonate ester intermediate.
Accordingly we provide a stereoselective process for preparation of an epoxide of formula I

The invention will now be described by but is in no way limited to the following examples.
Example A
Preparation of 2,4,6 trichlorobenzenesulphonyl chloride Chlorosulphonic acid (20 ml) was added to
1,3,5-trichlorobenzene (10 g) via a dropping funnel over 15 min. with stirring at room temperature. The reaction mixture was then heated (oil bath) at 110°C for 2h. The resulting dark mixture was cooled to room temperature, poured into ice water (150 ml) , the crude product collected by filtration and washed thoroughly with cold water (500 ml) giving beige coloured crystals (12.0 g, 80%). The crude was recrystallised from hexane resulting in pure sulphonyl chloride m.p. 47-49°C (lit ref. 90°C). Ref: Farrer, W.V., J. Chem. Soc 1960, 3063.
Example 1
(a) Preparation of methyl-2(S)-(2'.4',6' - trichlorobenzenesulphonyloxy)-3(R)-hydroxy -3-(4'-methoxyphenyl)propionate
To a solution of (2S, 3R)-methyl 2,3-dihydroxy-3-(4-methoxyphenyl)propionate (0.2 g , 0.88 mmol) in pyridine (2 ml) was added 2,4,6-trichlorobenzene sulphonyl chloride (0.27 g, 0.97 mmol), and the combined mixture was kept at 0-4°C for 18 h.
The resulting pale yellow solution was then poured into water (20 ml), extracted with ethyl acetate (3 × 20 ml) washed with 10% HCl
(20 ml ), water (20 ml) and finally dried
(Na2SO4). The solvent was removed invacuo leaving a white solid residue (0.39. g, 96%) which analysed correctly for a C2 monosubstituted sulphonate ester, m.p; 127-129°C (ethanol).
Preparation of methyl (2R,3R) cis-3-(4- methoxyphenyl)glycidate
To a solution of sulfonate ester of step (a) (0.30 g, 0.65 mmol) in THF (4 ml) was added
NaH (0.017 g, 1.1 mol equivalents), and the mixture was left to stir for 5 h. After this time TLC indicated completion of reaction. The reaction mixture was then poured into water (20 ml) and extracted with ethyl acetate (3 × 20 ml) washed with water (2 × 20 ml) and finally dried (Na2SO4). The solvent was removed in vacuo giving a pale yellow oil (0.130 g, 97%). The oil was not purified further as it analysed correctly for the cis isomer of -3-(4-methoxyphenyl)glycidate.
Ref: Hashiyama, T., Inoue, H., et .al,
J. Chem.Soc. Perkin Trans.1, 1725, (1984). (c) Addition of 2-nitrothiophenol to the cis glycidate
To a mixture of 2-nitrothiophenol (0.079 g, 0.52 mmol) and NaHCO3 (15 mg - 20 mg) in dry ethanol (5 ml) was added the cis glycidate prepared in step (b) (0.10 g 0.48 mmol). The reaction mixture was stirred at room temperature overnight. The resulting yellow suspension was then poured into water (20 ml), extracted with ethyl acetate (3 × 20 ml), washed with sat. NaHCO3 (20 ml) water (20 ml), brine (20 ml) and finally dried (NaHCO3). The solvent was removed in vacuo giving a yellow oil (0.15 g). The crude was purified by flash column chromatography (eluant CH2Cl2: Et2O 20:1). Evaporation of the second eluant gave a yellow oil (0.10 g, 60%) which analysed correctly for 2R, 3S methyl-2-hydroxy-3-(2-nitrophenylthio)-3- (4-methoxyphenyl)propionate (threo thioether) Ref.
Ref. Hashiyama T., Inoue, H., et.al,
J. Chem Soc. Perkin Trans. 1, 1725, (1984).
A small portion of this yellow oil was acetylated by heating with acetic anhydride and pyridine for 1.5 h on a water bath.
Excess anhydride, acetic acid and pyridine were removed under reduced pressure.
Analysis of the resulting oil by H n.m.r. spectroscopy indicated a single isomer with the methyl signal for the OCOCH, group appearing at 2.10 ppm. This is correct for the threo isomer Ref
