Definitions
- the present invention relates to an improved process for the preparation of substantially pure macitentan and to macitentan prepared from such a process.
- WO02053557 Al discloses a process for the preparation of macitentan as shown in Scheme 1 :
- step 1 of the process the compound of formula (III) is reacted with ethylene glycol using potassium tertbutoxide in dimethoxy ethane at 100 °C.
- the isolated solid is further purified by column chromatography, yielding the compound of formula (II).
- step 2 the compound of formula (II) is added to sodium hydride (NaH) in tetrahydrofuran (THF), diluted with dimethylformamide (DMF), and then reacted with 5-bromo-2-chloropyridine at 60 °C to obtain macitentan of formula (I).
- the compound of formula (I) is further crystallized according to the disclosed method.
- step 1 of Scheme 1 describes an alternative route for step 1 of Scheme 1, wherein the compound of formula (III), is reacted with excess ethylene glycol in the presence of a large quantity of base, such as potassium tert-butoxide (3-4 equivalents), at a high temperature such as 100°C for 70hrs to obtain the compound of formula (II).
- base such as potassium tert-butoxide (3-4 equivalents)
- Ethylene glycol is toxic in nature and is a high boiling solvent, rendering it difficult to use on industrial scale and difficult to remove by distillation.
- WO2015004265 discloses preparation of the intermediate compound of formula (II), N-[5-(4- bromophenyl)-6-(2hydroxyethoxy)-4-pyrimidinyl]-N'-propyl-sulfamide, or a salt thereof (Scheme 1) in the presence of ethylene glycol and a base, which process comprises extracting the compound of formula (II) using methyl iso-butyl ketone (MIBK) as the solvent.
- MIBK methyl iso-butyl ketone
- WO2014155304 discloses a process for preparing macitentan as shown in Scheme 2 wherein the compound of formula (III) is reacted with 2-(t-butoxy)ethanol to yield the compound of formula (IIIA), which is selectively deprotected to yield the compound of formula (II).
- the compound of formula (II) is further reacted with 5-bromo-2-chloropyridine to obtain macitentan of formula (I).
- the principal object of the present invention is to provide a process for the preparation of macitentan using a green chemistry approach, thereby using a green solvent that is environmentally friendly.
- Another object of the invention is to provide a process for the preparation of substantially pure macitentan in high yield.
- Yet another object of the present invention is to provide a process for the preparation of macitentan which is simple, economical and suitable for industrial scale up.
- the present invention provides a process for preparing macitentan of formula
- the present invention provides a process for preparing macitentan of formula (I):
- macitentan prepared according to the process of the present invention is in substantially pure form and may be used without further purification.
- steps (i) and (ii) as hereinbefore described are carried out without isolation of the intermediate compound of formula (II) in a one pot synthesis to obtain a compound of formula (I).
- intermediate compound of formula (II) is not isolated from the reaction mixture as a solid.
- the present invention also provides a one-pot process for preparing macitentan of formula (I):
- the polar aprotic solvent is selected from 2-methyltetrahydrofuran,
- the present invention provides a green process for preparation of "substantially pure macitentan" without utilizing hazardous solvents as well as high capital intensive processes.
- the inventors of the present invention have rationally designed an improved process for preparation of macitentan using a green solvent, making the process eco-friendly, inexpensive and industrially viable.
- These green solvents are alternatives to dichloromethane and tetrahydrofuran.
- the product obtained is in high yield and high purity without involving tedious and costly purification processes like column chromatography.
- the present invention relates to the synthesis of macitentan and employs "green” (i.e. nontoxic) polar aprotic solvents such as 2-methyl THF (2-methyltetrahydrofuran), dialkylcarbonates, including but not limited to dimethylcarbonate and diethylcarbonate and the like, which contribute to green chemistry.
- 2-methyl THF 2-methyltetrahydrofuran
- dialkylcarbonates including but not limited to dimethylcarbonate and diethylcarbonate and the like, which contribute to green chemistry.
- 2-methyl THF which is environmentally friendly and safe, rather than THF, as reported in the prior art, reduces the reaction times and also yields macitentan in high purity.
- the present invention also provides a process for obtaining substantially pure macitentan of formula (I).
- the inventors of the present invention observed that macitentan obtained using the process disclosed in the prior art process (WO 2002053557) is 62.52% pure whereas the processes of the present invention described herein advantageously yield macitentan having purity at least about 99.5% as depicted in below Table 1.
- the present invention describes a practical, economical and efficient synthesis for the preparation of macitentan. This process is particularly advantageous in comparison with known methods because the reaction may be carried out according to a "one-pot" method, i.e. without isolating the intermediates formed.
- the process of the present invention eliminates the risk of handling hazardous chemicals, the enhanced cost associated with multiple reactors, and it reduces the reaction time and clean-up, thus making the process more industrially viable.
- an improved process for the synthesis of macitentan as depicted below in reaction Scheme 3 :
- sulfamide compound of formula (III) refers to the compound N- [5-(4-bromophenyl)-6-chloro-4-pyrimidinyl]-N'-propyl-sulfamide:
- hydroxy compound of formula (II) refers to the compound N-[5- (4-bromophenyl)-6-(2-hydroxyethoxy)-4-pyrimidinyl]-N'-propyl- sulfamide:
- substantially pure and “high purity” refer to macitentan having a purity (measured by HPLC) of at least 99.5%, preferably above about 99.7% and more preferably above about 99. 90%.
- Green chemistry As used herein, the terms “Green chemistry”, “Green solvent” and “Green approach” refer to a philosophy of chemical research and engineering that encourages the design of products and processes that minimize the use and generation of hazardous substances.
- suitable “green” solvents which may be employed in the process of the present invention include, but are not limited to, 2-methyltetrahydrofuran, dialkylcarbonates such as dimethylcarbonate and diethyl carbonate and the like.
- step (i) of the process of the present invention the sulfamide compound of formula (III) is reacted with ethylene glycol in presence of a suitable base, to give the hydroxy compound of formula (II).
