Definitions
- Patents EP 0776898 and EP 0208846 describe a process for the preparation of zaleplon, which consists in reaction of 3-din- ⁇ ethylamino- 1 - (3-N-ethyl-N-acetyla ⁇ inophenyl) -2-propen- 1 - one with 3-a ⁇ ninopyrazole-4-carbonitrile, by heating in acetic acid (EP 0208846) or in an aqueous solution of acetic acid (EP 0776898).
- acetic acid EP 0208846
- EP 0776898 carrying out the reaction in aqueous acetic acid would make it possible to obtain the product free from color impurities, in a much higher yield (ca. 90%) and of much better purity (above 98.77%), compared to the reaction carried out in neat acetic acid.
- Such improved ap- proach would also allow one to shorten the reaction time and to lower the reaction temperature.
- the allowed level of a single identified and qualified drug impurity should be no more than 0.5% (wt/wt), or 20 micrograms of the total daily dose. Due to a high degree of structural and chemical similarity between zaleplon and 'the isomef, these compounds are very difficult to separate by standard crystallization methods, particularly when the content of the isomer is above 10%. Moreover, the multiple crystallization necessary in such cases causes substantial losses of the desired active ingredient, zaleplon. Crude zaleplon may be crystallized from a polar solvent chosen from lower alkyl alcohols, such as methanol, ethanol and isopropanol.
- the present invention relates to the process for the preparation of zaleplon, N-[3-(3-cyanopyrazolo[l,5-a]pyrimidin-7- yl)phenyl]-N-ethylacetamide 3, in the reaction of 3-dimethylarmno- l-(3-N-ethyl-N-acetyla ⁇ inophenyl)-2-propen-l-one 1 with 3-aminopyrazole-4-carbonitrile 2, which comprises carrying out the reaction in an aqueous solution of formic acid, at concentrations of formic acid in ⁇ he range of 20-80% (wt/wt), according to the Scheme presented below. Isomer 4 is formed with a very low yield.
- the reaction is carried out by stii-Ting the reaction mixture at temperatures in the range of 20-60°C, preferably at 30-45°C. After the reaction is complete, the reaction optionally is diluted with water to give formic acid concentration below 40% (wt/wt), which causes zaleplon crystals to precipitate.
- a 35-45% (wt/wt) solution of formic acid is used.
- the low content of the isomer present in the crude zaleplon obtained from the reaction makes possible easy purification of zaleplon to purity levels in accordance with the standard require- ments established for pharmaceutical active ingredients.
- the yield of the reaction carried out according to the present invention is increased by a few percent compared to the process described in EP 0776898. Isolating the product from the reaction mixture after completion of the reaction results in crude zaleplon of high purity. It can be additionaly crystallized from a polar solvent chosen from lower alkyl alcohols, e.g.
- the zaleplon obtained by the process of the present invention, after one crystallization contains "the isomef in the amount of less than 5 micrograms per dosage unit containing 10 mg zaleplon.
- 3-Dimethylamino- 1 -(3-N-ethyl-N-ace1ylaminophenyl)-2- propen-1-one (1) (104.14 g, 0.4 mol), 3-aminopyrazole-4-carbo- nitrile (2) (44.32 g, 0.41 mol) and 35% aqueous formic acid (1360 mL, 1500 g) are placed in a reactor.
- the mixture is stirred (ca. 200 rpm) and slowly warmed up to 35°C over 1 hr. Then the mixture is warmed up to 40°C over 30 minutes and stirred at 40°C one more hour (total heating time is 2.5 hr from the beginning of heating).
- the mixture is cooled to ca. 10°C and stirred at this temperature for ca. 30 minutes. Then it is filtered, the precipitate is thoroughly pressed and washed with water (3x 250mL). The precipitate-white to off-white crystals - is dried at 105°C. The yield is 87.5%) (106.86 g). The purity of the crude product is 99.69%) as determined by HPLC.
