The desired final crystal form, Form I, can be produced when using methanol or ethanol. Form II is isolated from 2-propanol and can be converted to the desired crystal form at low drying temperatures, such as between about a temperature of 40° C. and 50° C.
Description
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
[0001] The synthesis of the reverse transcriptase inhibitor (RTI), (−)-6-chloro-4-cyclopropylethynyl-4-trifluoromethyl-1,4-dihydro-2H-3,1-benzoxazin-2-one, also known as DMP-266 has been described in U.S. Pat. No. 5,519,021 issued on May 21, 1996 and the corresponding PCT International Patent Application WO 95/20389, which published on Aug. 3, 1995. Additionally, the asymmetric synthesis of an enantiomeric benzoxazinone by a highly enantioselective acetylide addition and cyclization sequence has been described by Thompson, et al., Tetrahedron Letters 1995, 36, 937-940, as well as the PCT publication, WO 96/37457, which published on Nov. 28, 1996.
[0002] The compound was previously crystallized from a heptane-tetrahydrofuran (THF) solvent system. The crystallization procedure required the use of high temperatures (about 90° C.) to dissolve the final product. Crystals formed by nucleation during the cooling process. The crystals which were produced were Form II and are converted to the desired Form I while drying under vacuum at 90° C. This crystallization provided minimal purification and produced material with inconsistent physical properties. The final product slurry was extremely difficult to mix and handle due to its high viscosity and heterogeneous nature.
[0003] The instant invention describes a method for crystallizing (−)-6-chloro-4-cyclopropylethynyl-4-trifluoromethyl-1,4-dihydro-2H-3,1-benzoxazin-2-one from a solvent and anti-solvent solvent system and producing the crystalline product. The desired final crystal form, Form I, can be produced when using methanol or ethanol. Form I is isolated from 2-propanol and can be converted to the desired crystal form at low drying temperatures, as low at 40° C.

2
[0021] comprising the use of a solvent to effect the dissolution of the compound, followed by the addition of an anti-solvent to initiate crystallization.
[0022] A process for the crystallization of a compound of the structural formula
3
[0023] comprising the steps of:
[0024] (1) dissolving the compound in a solvent in a ratio of about 3.0 ml to about 10.0 μl of solvent to 1 gram of the compound;
[0025] (2) filtering the solution of the compound to remove any particulate matter;
[0026] (3) adding the anti-solvent to the stirring solution at room temperature over a period of about 30 minutes to about an hour to reach the saturation point of the solution containing the compound;
[0027] (4) adding to the solution a solid seed charge of the compound in the amount of about 2 to about 10 percent by weight to form a slurry;
[0028] (5) milling the slurry to reduce the thickness of the slurry;
[0029] (6) adding the remaining water to reach the desired solvent composition of about 30% to about 50% and milling the slurry as needed during the addition;
[0030] (7) slowly cooling the slurry to about 5° C. to about 20° C.;
[0031] (8) aging for about 2 to about 16 hours until the supernatant concentration reaches equilibrium;
[0032] (9) milling the slurry, as needed, to reduce the thickness of the slurry;
[0033] (10) filtering the milled slurry to isolate a wet cake of the crystalline compound;
[0034] (11) washing the wetcake once with about 1 to about 2 bed volumes of the final crystallization solvent composition and then twice with water using about 5-10 ml water per gram of compound; and
[0035] (12) drying the washed wetcake at about 40° C. to about 90° C. under vacuum for about 1 hour to about 3 days, or until the loss on dryness is less than 0.5 weight percent.
[0036] The controlled anti-solvent crystallization process as recited above wherein the solvent is defined as alcohol, wherein alcohol is a straight or branched chain (C1-C6)-alkanol.

The preferred alcohol is 2-propanol.
[0037] The preferred alcohol is 2-propanol for reasons relating to obtaining consistent crystal forms. Although methanol and ethanol solvent systems have been shown to be capable of producing the desired Form I crystal structure, a slight contamination of Form III crystals in a crystallization slurry in these systems can convert the entire slurry to containing exclusively Form III crystals, which are relatively difficult to convert to the desired Form I structure. Any known crystal structure of this compound placed in an about 25% to 35% (v/v) 2-propanol-water solvent system has been shown to quickly convert to the Form II crystal structure, which can readily convert to the desired Form I crystal structure during drying.

[0040] The temperature used during the drying of the washed wetcake (Step 12) is about 40° C. to about 90° C., and preferrably about 40° C. to about 60° C.
[0041] The solvent system (solvent plus anti-solvent) used ranged from about 30% to about 50% solvent volume to anti-solvent volume (v/v) ratio. The total volume of the solvent system ranging from about 12 to about 20 ml of the solvent system per gram of the compound. The solvent volume to anti-solvent volume ratio for selected solvent systems is as follows: 1) an ethanol-water solvent system is about 30% to about 40% ethanol to water v/v ratio; 2) a methanol-water solvent system is about 40% to about 50% methanol to water v/v ratio; and 3) an 2-propanol-water solvent system is about 25% to about 35% 2-propanol to water v/v ratio. The perferred solvent system is 2-propanol-water used in about a 30% volume to volume ratio and a total solvent system volume of about 15 ml per gram of the compound.

[0049] (6) washing the wetcake once with about 1 to about 2 bed volumes of the final crystallization solvent composition and then twice with water using about S ml to about 10 ml water per gram of compound; and
[0050] (7) drying the washed wetcake at about 40° C. to about 90° C. under vacuum for about 1 hour to about 3 days, or until the loss on dryness is less then 0.5 weight percent.
[0051] The heel crystallization process as recited above wherein the solvent is defined as acetonitrile, dimethyl acetamide, dimethyl formamide or alcohol. A preferred embodiment of the solvents useful in the controlled anti-solvent crystallization process is alcohol, wherein alcohol is defined as (C1-C6)-alkanol, such as, methanol, ethanol, and 2-propanol.

[0057] Additionally, these crystal forms are characterized by peaks with varying D-spacings. Form I is characterized by peaks with D-spacings of: 14.5, 8.5, 8.0, 7.2, 6.7, 6.2, 5.2, 4.6, 4.4, 4.2, and 3.6 angstroms. Form II is characterized by peaks with D-spacings of: 24.3, 13.9, 8.0, 6.9, 6.6, 5.5, 4.6, 4.5, 4.3, 4.2, 3.9, 3.6, 3.4, 3.3, and 3.2 angstroms. Form III is characterized by peaks with D-spacings of: 12.2, 8.1, 6.4, 6.1, 4.7, 4.3, 4.1, 4.0, 3.9, 3.8, 3.7, 3.6, 3.3, 3.2, and 3.0 angstroms.
[0058] Thermogravimetric analysis results of Form El (FIG. 7) indicated there was no significant weight loss observed from 43° C. to about 137° C. This result is indicative of an anhydrous or unsolvated crystal form.
[0059] The differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) results obtained for Form III show an endotherm with an extrapolated onset temperature of 117° C., a peak temperature of 118° C., and an enthalpy of 34 J/g, this is followed by an exotherm with a peak temperature of 120° C. and an enthalpy of 23J/g. A second endotherm with an extrapolated onset temperature of 138° C., a peak temperature of 139° C., and an enthalpy of 55 J/g is also observed. The first endotherm is associated with the melting of Form III, which subsequently crystallizes to Form I during the exothermic event. The second endothermic event is associated with the melting of Form I.
[0060] A process for isolating (−)-6-chloro-4-cyclopropylethynyl-4-trifluoromethyl-1,4-dihydro-2H-3,1-benzoxazin-2-one, the final product from solutions containing an organic solvent-and water has been developed. In this process water serves as an anti-solvent to produce a. solid product from material dissolved in organic solvent. The final solvent composition is chosen to balance yield loss, purification, and slurry handling properties.
[0061] For methanol solvent systems about 40% to about 50% volume to volume (v/v) solvent to anti-solvent (water) has been present in the final slurry. Ethanol solvent systems have contained about 30% to about 40% v/v solvent to anti-solvent, and 2-propanol solvent systems have used about 25% to about 35% (v/v) solvent to anti-solvent. The total amount of liquid (alcohol and water) ranges from 12-20 ml/(g solid). The crystallizations are typically performed between 20-25° C., and some slurries have been cooled to 5-10° C. before being filtered. Following the filtration, the wetcake is washed with approximately one bed volume (the approximate volume of the wetcake) of the final crystallization solvent composition. The wetcake is then washed with at. least 2 bed volumes of deionized (DI) water.
[0062] The rate at which the product is precipitated is controlled by either slowly adding the water to a saturated system following a seed charge (anti-solvent addition) or simultaneously adding the product in alcohol and water at controlled rates to an existing product slurry (heel crystallization).
[0063] For the anti-solvent process (FIG. 1), enough water is first added to the organic solvent solution containing the product over 0.5-2 hours to saturate the system in final product. A solid charge of final product is then added to the system as seed (2-10% of the initial amount of product). The seed should be Form I (the crystal form associated with dry final product) for ethanol and methanol systems, and Form II seed (the crystal form generated from a THF/heptane crystallization) is used for 2-propanol systems. The resultant slurry is aged for 0.5-2 hours to establish a seed bed. The remaining water is then added over 2-4 hours in a controlled manner. The slurry is then aged for 2-20 hours and cooled to the desired final temperature during the age, allowing the supernatant to reach equilibrium.
[0064] For the heel process (FIG. 2), a slurry at the desired final solvent composition is mixed while adding the product dissolved in alcohol and water at controlled relative rates to maintain a constant solvent ratio. The slurry (the crystalline compound in the final desired solvent system) is often 10-20% of the product from a prior run. The total charge is typically performed over 4-6 hours at-20-25° C. The slurry is then aged for several hours at the desired final temperature before being filtered to allow the supernatant to reach equilibrium. Following the filtration, the wetcake is washed with approximately one bed volume of a clean alcohol/water mixture matching the final crystallization conditions. The wetcake is then washed with at least 2 bed volumes of DI water.
[0065] Further control of the crystal size and slurry viscosity is achieved by using a wet-mill on slurries with excessively long particles and/or extremely thick consistencies. The product typically forms rod shaped crystals which grow much faster in the axial direction than the radial direction. It is understood that the reference to ‘thickness’ will refer to the crystal size and consistency of the slurry. The mill has been shown to reduce the length of the long crystals and produce a thin slurry from a thick slurry which contains many agglomerates of crystals. On the laboratory scale, the entire slurry can be milled batch-wise when desired. At larger scales, the wet-mill can be used on a recycle loop circulating around the crystallization vessel. An in-line particle size measurement and viscosity measurements could be coordinated to control the mill. Varying the temperature of the slurry through a range of 5° C. to 50° C. cycles has also been shown to be a useful way of modifying the crystal size and shape.
[0066] The solvents useful in this method include alcohol, acetonitrile (heel process only), dimethyl formamide (heel process only), and dimethyl acetamide (heel process only). The preferred solvent is an alcohol selected form methanol, ethanol or 2-propanol.
[0067] This crystallization process is advantageous over the prior method. The instant method allows one to isolate a crystalline product with consistent physical properties namely the ability to produce the desired crystal form of the product or convert to Form I with mild drying conditions (heating to about 40 to 60° C.). The alcohol-water crystallizations have also been shown to reject some impurities carried forward from the chemical synthesis. The final product slurry is less viscous and more homogenous with the instant process and is thus easier to mix and handle.
