PCT/KR99/00099 (published after the priority date of the present application) discloses a process for the production of 4-aminomethyl-3-alkoxyiminopyrrolidines and salts thereof from aminomethylpyrrolidin-3-one and the corresponding alkoxylamine. Suitable salts of the 4-aminomethyl-3-alkoxyiminopyrrolidines are described as the hydrochloride, trifluoroacetate and sulfate salts.
The present invention relates to novel 4-aminomethyl-3-alkoxyiminopyrrolidine salts which are of use in the synthesis of pharmaceutically active compounds.
According to the invention there is provided a compound of formula (I):
(Formula Removed)
wherein R is C1-4 alkyl or C1-4 haloalkyl. The compound of formula (I) is preferably 4-aminomethyl-3-memoxyiminopyirohdiniumdimethanesulfonate.
According to a further aspect of the invention there is provided a process for the production of a compound of formula (1) which comprises reaction of a compound of formula (II):
(Formula Removed)
wherein R is as defined for formula (I) and P1 and P2, which may be the same or different, are amino protecting groups, with methanesulfonic acid.
Suitable protecting groups P1 and P2 include any suitable amino protecting groups which are removable by treatment with methanesulfonic acid. The preferred protecting group for both P1 and P2 is t-butoxycarbonyl.
The reaction of the compound of formula (II) and metfianesulfonic acid is suitably carried out at a temperature between about 10°C and about 50°C, more preferably at a temperature of 40-45°C.
The amount of methanesulfonic acid used to effect the deprotection of the compound of formula (II) is suitably 2 to 4 equivalents. For example, 2.4 equivalents, suitably used at a temperature of between 35°C and 40°C; or 3 equivalents, suitably used at ambient temperature. More preferably 2.5 equivalents used at a temperature of 40-45°C.
The reaction is suitably carried out in a solvent, for example, an alcohol such as methanol, ethanol, isopropanol, or n-propanol, dichloromethane, acetonitrile, acetone, methyl iso-butyl ketone, DME, THF, tert-butylmethyl ether, dioxane or ethyl acetate or a mixture of any of these. The solvent is preferably memanol. Suitably, up to 10 equivalents by volume of solvent may be used, e.g. about 4 equivalents.
The compounds of formula (II) may be prepared by the processes described in US 5,633,262, EP 688772 and PCT/KR99/00099.
The compounds of formula (I) are useful as an intermediates for preparing quhiolone antibacterials particularly those described in US 5,633,262 and EP 688772. Thus according to a further aspect of the invention there is provided a process for the production of a compound of formula (III), or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt and/or hydrate thereof:
(Formula Removed)
wherein R is as defined for formula (I), which comprises reaction of a compound of formula (I), with a compound of formula (IV):
(Formula Removed)
wherein X is a leaving group, e.g. a halogen atom, preferably chlorine; and optionally forming a pharmaceutically acceptable salt and/or hydrate thereof.
Other suitable leaving groups X will be apparent to those skilled in the art.
The reaction of the compounds of formulae (I) and (IV) is preferably conducted in the presence of a base e.g. triethylarnine. The reaction of the compounds of formulae (I) and (IV) is preferably conducted in a solvent, e.g. acetonitrile, an aqueous solvent such as aqueous acetonitrile or an aqueous alcohol and more preferably water. When water is used as solvent for this process the resulting compound of formula (III) is of superior quality to that obtained using other solvents. This leads to an improvement in the quality of the resulting drug substance as well as a process that may offer environmental advantages. Further details regarding the reaction of the compounds of formula (I) and (IV) can be found in US 5,633,262 and EP 688772. The compounds of formula (TV) may be synthesisied as described in US 5,633,262 and EP 688772.
The compound of formula (III) produced according to this aspect of the invention is preferably (R,S)-7-(3-aniinomethy1-4-syn-methoxyimino-pyrrolidin-l-yl)-1 -cyclopropyl-6-fluoro-4-oxo-1,4-dihydro-1,8-naphthyridine-3-caxboxylic acid methanesulfonate or a hydrate thereof, preferably the sesquihydrate, as disclosed in WO 98/42705. The methanesulfonate and hydrates thereof may be synthesised from the free acid as described in WO 98/42705 and WO 00/17199.
The compounds of the invention have the advantage that they are stable, i.e. not hygroscopic. They can be isolated from the reaction in higher yield and purity than the corresponding dihydrochloride or free base. The dimesylate salts can be
(TV)
recrystallised if necessary, whereas the corresponding dihydrochloride or free base has not been successfully recrystallised. The dimesylate salts can be used to produce quinolone antibacterials of high purity and several advantages result from using this intermediate. For example, when the resulting drug substance is (R,S)-7-(3-arninomeuiyl-4-syn-methoxyimino-pyrrolidin-l-yl)-l-cycIopropyl-6-fluoro-4-oxo-l,4-dihydro-l,8-naphthyridine-3-carboxylic acid methanesulfonate or a hydrate thereof, it has improved colour and significantly lower levels of high molecular weight impurites compared to the drug substance produced using the corresponding dihydrochloride or free base as intermediate.
