U.S. patent application Ser. No. 13/090,616, U.S. Pub. No. 2011/0263627, describes inter alia certain N3-substituted-N1-sulfonyl-5-fluoropyrimidinone compounds and their use as fungicides. The disclosure of the application is expressly incorporated by reference herein. This patent application describes various routes to generate N3-substituted-N1-sulfonyl-5-fluoropyrimidinone compounds. It may be advantageous to provide more direct and efficient methods for the preparation, isolation, and purification of N3-substituted-N1-sulfonyl-5-fluoropyrimidinone fungicides and related compounds, e.g., by the use of reagents and/or chemical intermediates and isolation and purification techniques which provide improved time and cost efficiency.
Provided herein are 5-fluoro-4-imino-3-(alkyl/substituted alkyl)-1-(arylsulfonyl)-3,4-dihydropyrimidin-2(1H)-one and processes for their preparation. In one embodiment, provided herein is a process for the preparation of compounds of Formula III:
wherein R1 is selected from:
and R2 is selected from:
which comprises contacting compounds of Formula II (shown below) with a base, such as an alkali carbonate, e.g., sodium-, potassium-, cesium-, and lithium carbonate (Na2CO3, K2CO3, Cs2CO3, and Li2CO3, respectively) or an alkali alkoxide, for example, potassium tert-butoxide (KOtBu) and an alkylating agent, such as an alkyl halide of Formula R2—X, wherein R2 is as previously defined and X is a halogen, e.g., iodine, bromine, and chlorine, in a polar solvent, such as N,N-dimethylformamide (DMF), dimethylsulfoxide (DMSO), dimethylacetamide (DMA), N-methylpyrrolidone (NMP), acetonitrile (CH3CN), and the like, at concentrations from about 0.1 molar (M) to about 3 M. In some embodiments, a molar ratio of compounds of Formula II to the base is from about 3:1 to about 1:1 and a molar ratio of compounds of Formula II to alkylating agent is from about 1:1 to about 3:1. In other embodiments, molar ratios of compounds of Formula II to the base and compounds of Formula II to the alkylating agent of about 2:1 and 1:3, respectively, are used. In some embodiments, the reactions are conducted at temperatures between −78° C. and 90° C., and in other embodiments, the reactions are conducted between 22° C. and 60° C.
It will be understood by those skilled in the an that manipulation of the reaction parameters described above may result in the formation of product mixtures comprised of compounds of Formulas II, III, and IV, as shown in Scheme 1, wherein the ratios of compounds of Formulas II, III, and IV formed is from about 0:2:1 to about 1:2:0. In some embodiments, compositions comprising mixtures of compounds of Formulas II and III are preferred, as isolation and purification can be achieved through precipitation and recrystallization, and the intermediate compounds of Formula II can be recovered and recycled. In contrast, compositions comprising mixtures of compounds of Formulas III and IV require chromatographic separation to give III along with the undesired dialkylated by-product of Formula IV.
In another embodiment, the desired crude composition, i.e., mixtures of compounds of Formula II and compounds of Formula III, wherein R1 is methoxy (OCH3) and R2 is methyl (CH3), is obtained through contacting a compound of Formula II with Li2CO3 and methyl iodide (CH3I) in DMF (1.0 M) in a molar ratio of about 1:0.6:3 at 45° C. Upon completion, dilution of the crude composition with a polar, aprotic solvent, such as CH3CN, wherein the ratio of CH3CN:DMF is from about 2:1 to about 1:2, followed by an aqueous solution of sodium thiosulfate (Na2S2O3) with a pH from about 8 to about 1.0.5, wherein the ratio of 2.5 wt. % aqueous Na2S2O3:DMF is from about 1:2 to about 3:1, affords a precipitate which is isolable by filtration. In one embodiment, the ratio of CH3CN:DMF is about 1:2 and the ratio of 2.5% aqueous Na2S2O3:DMF is about 1:1, and the resultant solid is further purified by crystallization/precipitation from a warmed solution, about 30° C.-40° C., of the solid in a solution of a polar, aprotic solvent, such as CH3CN, by the addition of water (H2O), wherein the ratio of H2O:CH3CN is from about 1:2 to about 3:1, to give the purified compound of Formula III, and in another embodiment the ratio of H2O:CH3CN to affect precipitation of pure III is about 2:1.
In another embodiment, compounds of Formula II may be prepared by contacting compounds of Formula I (shown below) with bis-N,O-trimethylsilylacetamide (BSA) at an elevated temperature, such as 70° C., for a period of about 1 hour (h), followed by cooling and contacting the solution containing the protected pyrimidinol with a substituted benzene sulfonyl chloride, generalized by R1-PhSO2Cl, wherein R1 is as previously defined, at about 20° C.-25° C. In some embodiments, the molar ratio of the compound of Formula I to BSA and the sulfonyl chloride is about 1:3:1.1, respectively, and in another embodiment reducing the molar ratio of the reactants to about 1:1.1:1.1 affords improved yields.
