Definitions
- This invention is concerned with a novel and improved method for preparing the antipsychotic and antidepressant drug, opipramol (I) . More particularly, this invention is concerned with a novel method for converting iminostilbene (II) , also known as dibenzo- [b,f]azepine, into N-(3-halopropyl)iminostilbene, a mixture of 3- chloro- and 3-bromopropyl derivatives, which is a precursor one step removed from opipramol(I) .
- iminostilbene (II) also known as dibenzo- [b,f]azepine
- iminostilbene (II) is used as the starting material and is first alkylated with l-bromo-3-chloropropane to yield N-(3-halopropyl)- iminostilbene (III), which is used in turn to alkylate N-(2- hydroxyethyl)piperazine at the secondary amine site to yield opipramol(I) , as shown by the following equations, where X is chlorine or bromine.
- alkylation of iminostilbene (II) requires the use of a strong base catalyst, such as sodamide.
- Sodamide has been employed in non-aqueous medi to convert iminostilbene (II) into its anion (V) , which may then be alkylated, a shown by the equations below.
- R is lower alkyl and X is halogen, preferably Br.
- the object of this invention is a new and improved method fo the preparation of opipramol.
- Another object of the invention is a new and improved method for the preparation of the immediate precursor, N-(3-halopropyl)- iminostilbene, in the preparation of opipramol.
- alkylation of iminostilbene (II) can be carried out with excellent results using a weak base, selected from a phosphate of the formula, M x HP ⁇ 4 (IV), or an acetate of the formula, CH 3 COOM (IVa), wherein M is an alkali metal, alkaline earth metal or ammonium and x is 1 or 2, determined by the valence of M.
- a weak base selected from a phosphate of the formula, M x HP ⁇ 4 (IV), or an acetate of the formula, CH 3 COOM (IVa), wherein M is an alkali metal, alkaline earth metal or ammonium and x is 1 or 2, determined by the valence of M.
- the alkylation is also carried out in the presence of a phase transfer agent.
- iminostilbene (II) is alkylated with l-bromo-3-chloropropane in the presence of a weak base of the formula M x HP0 4 (IV) or CH 3 COOM (IVa) , where M and x are as defined above, and a phase transfer agent, and the resultant N-(3- halopropyl)iminostilbene (III) is reacted with N-(2-hydroxyethyl)- piperazine to yield opipramol (I) .
- the weak base M x HP0 4 (IV) or CH 3 COOM (IVa) and phase transfer agent With the use of the weak base M x HP0 4 (IV) or CH 3 COOM (IVa) and phase transfer agent, the undesirable elimination of HX from N-(3-halopropyl)iminostilbene (III) does not occur, thereby increasing the net yield of N-(3-halopropyl)iminostilbene (III), improving the efficiency of the process and avoiding the necessity of removing unwanted by-product.
- the weak base phosphate salts (IV) are preferred and M preferably sodium, potassium or ammonium in formulas (IV) and (IVa) .
- phase transfer agent examples include quaternary ammonium salts; aryltrialkyl- ammonium salts, such as benzyltriethylammonium chloride, are preferred.
- the phase transfer agent is used in a catalytically effective amount, preferably 3-10% by weight, based on the weight of iminostilbene.
- Solvents suitable for the first step of the process include those substantially inert to the reagents of the reaction, which include alkylbenzenes, such as toluene, and also dimethyl- formamide, dimethylacetamide, isopropanol, butanol, and diethylen glycol; alkylbenzenes and particularly toluene are preferred.
- the alkylation is preferably carried out at a temperature of 80-140°C most preferably at 110°C.
- l-Bromo-3-chloropropane and the weak base (IV) or (IVa) are each used in approximately stoichiometric equivalents or in exces of the amount required to alkylate iminostilbene (II) .
- the produc of this alkylation, .N-(3-halopropyl)iminostilbene (III), is a mixture of N-(3-bromopropyl)iminostilbene and N-(3-chloropropyl)- iminostilbene; the particular proportion of 3-chloro- and 3- bromopropyl derivatives is of no importance, since both compounds are readily converted to opipramol (I) by reaction with N-[2- hydroxyethyl]-piperazine.
- the first step of the process is carried out by heating a solution of iminostilbene (II) containing l-bromo-3-chloropropane and disodium hydrogen phosphate in the presence of a catalytic amount of benzyltriethyl- ammonium chloride.
- N-(3-halopropyl)iminostilbene (III) in the resultant solution is converted without further isolation into opipramol (I) by reaction in situ with N-[2-hydroxyethyl]- piperazine.
- N-(3-halopropyl)iminostilbene (III) with N- [2-hydroxyethy1]-piperazine is preferably carried out with an excess of N-[2-hydroxyethyl]-piperazine at a temperature of about 50° to 150°C, most preferably at about H0 ⁇ C, in the presence of a base until the alkylation is substantially complete.
- the mole ratio of N-(3-halopropyl)iminostilbene (III) to N-[2-hydroxy- ethyl]-piperazine is preferably about 1:1 to 1:3 and most preferably about 1:2.
- a weak base such as sodium carbonate or potassium carbonate is preferred and is used in amount effective to achieve reaction between iminostilbene (III) and N-[2- hydroxyethyl]-piperazine.
- the toluene layer is cooled to 30-40°C and 500 ml of a 1.5 N aqueous solution of HC1 or H2SO4 is mixed with the toluene layer; the aqueous layer is separated; the extraction is repeated with an additional 100 ml of the acidic solution and the aqueous extracts are combined.
- Toluene in an amount of 600 ml is added to the combined aqueous extracts; the mixture is heated to 50°C and ammonium or sodium hydroxide is added until a pH>9.
- the mixture is agitated for 1/2 hour at 60- 70°C, after which the toluene layer is separated and washed with 100 ml of water and then dried by azeotropic distillation.
- the toluene layer is then cooled to 0-10°C and centrifuged to obtain the solid product, opipramol (I) .
- Additional product is obtained by concentrating the toluene residue to about 1/4 of its initial volume and cooling to 0-10°C.
- the total amount of product obtained is 215 g, having a .p. of 96°C.
- Opipramol (I) can be further purified by dissolving 200 g of the above-obtained opipramol (I) in 600 ml of acetone; mixing 7 g of active carbon and 5 g of Celite into the solution, filtering and then cooling the solution to 0-lO°C and finally collecting t purified product on a centrifuge.
- the m.p. of the purified produ is 101°C.
