Description
TECHNICAL FIELD

The present invention relates to a novel process for producing a 1,3-benzodioxole derivative, and particularly to a production process including a novel chlorination reaction of a benzene ring.


BACKGROUND ART

It is known that 1,3-benzodioxole derivatives are useful as medicines or raw materials for producing medicines and useful for treating tumors (Patent Literature 1).


Patent Literature 1 discloses various 1,3-benzodioxole derivatives and processes for producing them. The production processes disclosed in the literature have a characteristic feature that a chlorine atom is introduced into a benzene ring by using N-chlorosuccinimide (Patent Literature 1, Reference Example 2). Besides this, processes for introducing a chlorine atom into a benzene ring using chlorine gas (Non Patent Literature 1) and reagents such as t-BuOCl, are known (Non Patent Literature 2). However, until now, a chlorination reaction using sulfuryl chloride to introduce a chlorine atom with high yield and few impurities has not been known.

DESCRIPTION OF EMBODIMENTS

In the present invention, the “C1-C6 alkyl group” is a linear or branched alkyl group having 1 to 6 carbon atoms. Examples thereof include a methyl group, an ethyl group, a propyl group, an isopropyl group, a butyl group, an isobutyl group, a s-butyl group, a t-butyl group, a pentyl group, an isopentyl group, a 2-methylbutyl group, a neopentyl group, a 1-ethylpropyl group, a hexyl group, an isohexyl group and a 4-methylpentyl group.


In the present invention, the “ruthenium catalyst” means a catalyst formed of a ruthenium atom-containing compound and a ligand. Examples of the ruthenium atom-containing compound include Ru3(CO)12, [RuCl2(CO)3]2, Ru(acac)3, [RuCl2(benzene)], [RuCl2(mes)]2, [RuCl2(p-cym)]2 and RuCl2 (1,5-cyclooctadiene). Preferably, Ru3(CO)12 is used.


Examples of the ligand include P(o-Tol)3, P(tBu)3 (HBF) and P(2-MeOPh)3. Preferably, P(o-Tol)3 is used.


A preferable combination of a ruthenium atom-containing compound and a ligand is a combination of Ru3(CO)12 and P(o-Tol)3.


In the present invention, a reaction can be carried out using an extremely small amount of a ruthenium catalyst. The equivalent amount of ruthenium catalyst to be used relative to the compound represented by formula (II) is 0.1 to 10 mol %, preferably 0.5 to 5 mol %, and more preferably 1 mol %. The equivalent amount of ruthenium atom relative to the compound represented by formula (II) is 0.3 to 30 mol %, preferably 1.5 to 15 mol %, and more preferably 3 mol %.


The “optically active amine” that can be used in the present invention is not limited as long as it can form a diastereomeric salt with a racemic compound having an acidic group and optical resolution can be carried out based on difference in solubility of the diastereomeric salt in a solvent. Examples of the optically active amine include (1S)-1-phenylethanamine and (2S)-2-amino-3-phenyl-1-propanol. Preferably, (1S)-1-phenylethanamine is used.


In the present invention, a “step of removing a Boc group” and a “step of performing dimethylation of a nitrogen atom” include not only a two-step reaction of removing a Boc group to isolate an intermediate and then performing dimethylation of a nitrogen atom, but also a one-pot reaction of removing a Boc group simultaneously with dimethylation of a nitrogen atom.

Examples of the reagent that can be used for performing dimethylation of a nitrogen atom include formaldehyde and formic acid, formaldehyde and sodium triacetoxyborohydride. Preferably, formaldehyde and formic acid are used.


The solvent that can be used in the present invention is not limited as long as it is inert to each reaction. In the chlorination reaction using sulfuryl chloride, not only a single organic solvent but also a mixture of an organic solvent and water, can be used. When the organic solvent is used alone, at least one solvent selected from acetonitrile, ethyl acetate, tetrahydrofuran, dimethylacetamide (DMAc) and cyclopentyl methyl ether (CPME), and the like can be used. Preferably, at least one solvent selected from acetonitrile, ethyl acetate, tetrahydrofuran and cyclopentyl methyl ether (CPME) is used. When a mixture of an organic solvent and water is used, for example, a mixture of at least one solvent selected from toluene, acetonitrile, methyl tert-butyl ether (MTBE) and cyclopentyl methyl ether, and water, can be used. Preferably, a mixture of toluene, acetonitrile and water is used. In a reaction with tert-butyl (trans-4-ethynylcyclohexyl)carbamate using a ruthenium catalyst, for example, toluene, α,α,α-trifluorotoluene, chlorobenzene, butyl acetate, and/or methyl isobutyl ketone can be used. Preferably, toluene is used.

In the present invention, the “pharmaceutical acceptable salt” refers to a salt having no significant toxicity and able to be used for a pharmaceutical composition. In the present invention, each of a compound represented by formula (IV) and a compound represented by formula (V) can form a salt by reacting it with an acid. Examples of the salt include salts of a hydrohalic acid such as a salt of hydrofluoric acid, a hydrochloride, a hydrobromide and a hydroiodide; inorganic salts such as a nitrate, a perchlorate, a sulfate and a phosphate; C1-C6 alkylsulfonates such as methanesulfonate, trifluoromethanesulfonate and ethanesulfonate; arylsulfonates such as benzenesulfonate and p-toluenesulfonate; organic salts such as an acetate, a malate, a fumarate, a succinate, a citrate, a ascorbate, a tartrate, an oxalate and an adipate; and amino acid salts such as a glycine salt, a lysine salt, an arginine salt, an ornithine salt, a glutamic acid salt and an aspartate.

Since it is difficult, even in later steps, to remove compound (1), which is a raw material, and compound (4), which is a reaction by-product, it is necessary to control the amount of the compound (1) remaining unreacted and the amount of the compound (4) to be produced. Therefore, chlorination was carried out in the same manner as in Example 1-1 using compound (1) as a raw material. The results are shown in Table 1.

    • *Process for forming seed crystal


To a reaction vessel, 2-propanol (79.0 L) and the crude product of the title compound (7.90 kg) were added under a nitrogen atmosphere. The reaction mixture was stirred and purified water (7.9 L) was added thereto to completely dissolve a solid substance. Further, activated carbon (0.40 kg) was added, stirred, filtered and washed with 2-propanol (79.0 L). The filtrate was concentrated to 58 L. To the residue, 2-propanol (5 L) was added and the mixture was warmed up to 64° C. To the mixture, tert-butyl methyl ether (19.8 L) was added.
