Methods of making ureas and guanidines, including, terazosin, prazosin, doxazosin, tiodazosin, trimazosin, quinazosin, and bunazosin (exemplary of 2- substituted quinazoline compounds), and meobentine, and bethanidine and intermediates therefor

FIELD OF INVENTION
This invention relates to novel processes of making ureas for example N-monosubstituted, N-N-disubstituted, N,N-N'-trisubstituted, N,N-N', N'-tetrasubstituted ureas and guanidines and derivatives thereof. A number of such compounds comprise 2-amino-substituted quinazolines (such as terazosin, prazosin, tiodazosin, bunazosin, quinazosin and trimazosin and doxazosin) and other guanidines (such as Meobentine and Bethanidine) which are known medicaments known to reduce blood pressure in hyperactive subjects.
This invention also relates to a number of novel intermediates (including novel ureas and novel guanidines) that may be used in the synthesis of for example the 2-amino-substituted quinazolines and guanidines and the methods of the synthesis thereof.
Some of these novel intermediates that are guanidines may also be useful as accelerators in the manufacture of rubber and as activators for thiazole accelerators.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
A number of medicines are guanidines. These guanidines include cyclized guanidines of the general formula 1.

Thus they include the following cyclized guanidines of general formula 2.
The following compounds are exemplary: ##STR13## These guanidines also include uncyclized guanidines of the general formula 3. ##STR14## wherein Me is CH.sub.3 (methyl).
The prior art preparations of cyclized and uncylized guanidines for example of Terazosin (R.sub.3 =tetrahydrofuryl), Prazosin (R.sub.3 =furyl), Doxazosin (R.sub.3 =1,4,-benzodioxan-2-yl), and Meobentine (R'.sub.1 -4-methoxybenzyl, R'.sub.2 =H, R'.sub.3 =methyl, R'.sub.4 =H, R'.sub.5 =CH.sub.3) are discussed below.
Compounds of general formula 2 have been prepared by a number of approaches which may be classified into five general methods.
In method 1, a 4-amino-6,7-dimethoxy quinazoline that is substituted at C-2 position with a good leaving group X, is condensed with a proper amine. Up to nine steps are used to synthesize the 4-amino-6,7-dimethoxy quinazoline, starting from veratraldehyde �J. Chem. Soc. 1759, (1948) and J. Med. Chem. 20, 146, (1977)!.

Those fine chemical manufacturers synthesizing prazosin, terazosin, and doxazosin for the most part use this process or a modification thereof. The major shortcoming of this method (method 1) is the low yields (between about 5 and 25%) which may be ascribed to the large number of steps involved.
In method 2, a 3,4-dimethoxyaniline that is substituted at the C-6 position with a nitrile, amide or amidine group is condensed with an amine that is N-substituted with an appropriate functional group, Y.

The processes taught by German Patent 2457911 propose the use of highly toxic cyanogen bromide. The yields of the processes are poor at best and thus not attractive for commercial production.
In method 3, 3,4-dimethoxy-6-cyanoaniline is converted to its corresponding isothiocyanate using thiophosgene. This is then condensed with a proper amine. The resulting thiourea is then S-alkylated (e.g. methyl iodide). High temperature reflux in the presence of ammonium chloride results in the insertion of the amine group, followed by ring closure to afford Terazosin (Bel. Pat. PCT/F18200034, Eur. Pat. 0034471). However thiophosgene is extremely toxic and its use is not practical on commercial scale due to high cost and limited availability. ##STR19##
In method 4, N-cyano-N-(3,4-dimethoxyphenyl)-5-methylisothiourea �see J. Heterocycl. Chem. 23, 401 (1986) or Hungarian Pat. 181743! is condensed with a proper amine to afford a carboxamidine which upon heating at high temperature affords the desired product (Can. Pat. 2015066, Eur. Pat. 0034471). The reported yields starting from the thioether is 63%. However, the thioether itself is difficult to manufacture. ##STR20##
In method 5, 2-chloro-4-amionquinazoline is initially condensed with piperazine and the resulting amine is reacted with an acid chloride to afford the desired product (Brit. Pat. 1156973). ##STR21##
As in method 1, this process also fails to provide good yields, because of the number of steps involved in the preparation of the 2-chloroquinazoline starting material.
These methods suffer from various other shortcomings. For example, the use of 2-chloro-4-amino-6,7-dimethoxyquinazoline (method 1 and 5) is prohibitive due to the fact its synthesis involves nine steps from veratraldehyde and the overall yield is approximately 5-25% �F. H. S. Curd et. al., J. Chem. Soc. 1759 (1948) and J. Med. Chem. 20, 146 (1977)!.
Activation of the amine group (method 2) requires the use of highly toxic cyanogen bromide (Y=CN), followed by further modification of the activating group (Y.dbd.H.sub.2 N--C.dbd.NH, HN.dbd.C--O--Alkyl). Use of ammonium thiocyanate, followed by alkylation of sulfur, will result in Y.dbd.HN.dbd.C--S--Alkyl. Nevertheless, the yields are generally low (ca. 40%). In method 3, although the reported yield of prazosin is high (ca. 68%), high toxicity and limited commercial availability of thiophosgene renders the method unattractive. In method 4, the overall yield starting from N-cyano N'-((3,4-dimethoxyphenyl)-S-methyl-isothiourea is reported to be ca. 63%. Nevertheless, the requirement of this isothiourea as starting material the preparation of which being very difficult and inefficient, renders the method unattractive.
Compounds of general formula 3 are synthesized using S-alkylated thiourea and the corresponding amine. The synthesis of Meobentine has been reported is U.S. Pat. No. 3,949,089 as described below: ##STR22##
The use of thiophosgene to manufacture thiourea is limited due to its high toxicity and commercial unavailability. Use of ammonium thiocyanate on the other hand followed by alkylation of the resulting thiourea generally affords low overall yields and therefore suffers from the same disadvantages described in the methods 2 and 3 (vide supra).
It is therefore an object of this invention to provide improved more efficient methods for the synthesis of compounds such as ureas and guanidines for example cyclized guanidines such as 2-amino substituted quinazolines of general formula 1 (e.g. Terazosin, Prazosin, Doxazosin, Tiodazosin, Trimazosin, Quinasin and Bunazosin) and for example uncyclized guanidines such as those of general formula 3 (e.g. Meobentine and bethanidine).
It is a further object of the invention to provide such improved more efficient processes which produce the desired compounds for example guanidines and ureas and in higher yields than in the prior art.
It is still a further object of the invention to provide such compounds for example quinazolines of very high purity (therefore having the desired efficacy).
It is still further object of this invention to provide (manufacture) novel intermediates including ureas and guanidines suitable for use to synthesize other guanidines for example 2-amino-substituted quinazolines including Terazosin, Prazosin, and Doxazosin and other guanidines for example meobentine and Bethanidine.
Further and other objects of the invention will be realized by those skilled in the art from the following summary of the invention and detailed description of the embodiments thereof.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
According to one aspect of the invention a method of manufacture of compounds such as ureas and guanidines including cyclized guanidines for example 2-amino-substituted quinazolines compounds (for example Terazosin, Prazosin, Doxazosin, Tiodazosin, Trimazosin, Quinasin and Bunazosin) and for example uncylized guanidines such as meobentine and Bethanidine are provided, comprising:
(a) (i) adding oxygen or a hetero radical containing oxygen to an intermediate compound for example by adding a carbonyl (c) to an amine in one embodiment in a form of converting an amine to its corresponding urea or
(ii) starting with an intermediate compound containing oxygen for example containing a carbonyl group in some embodiments connected to an amine or forming part of a urea,
and (b) carrying out in any order (i) or (ii) of this subparagraph (b)
(i) react the oxygen for example the oxygen of a carbonyl, with a suitable electrophile (EP) in which the combination of the oxygen-electrophile (O--EP) becomes a good leaving group that can be and is subsequently displaced by for example a nucleophile (such as for example ammonia or an amine) and
(ii) adding a desired radical to the results of subparagraph (a) or b (i) if step (i) of subparagraph (b) is carried out before this step (ii), and
(c) optionally, and if required, closing a ring to form for example a 2-amino-substituted quinazoline.
Other guanidines including quinazolines may also be manufactured according to the invention as would be understood by persons skilled in the art.
According to another aspect of the invention the desired radical is ammonia or an amine radical.
In this way, greater yields and higher purity in the manufacture of known products can be achieved. Furthermore compounds of the invention may be conveniently prepared by a "one pot" synthesis.
EP is preferably POCl.sub.3. EP may also comprise: PCl.sub.5, P.sub.2 O.sub.5, tosyl chloride (CH.sub.3 SO.sub.2 Cl)--TsCl-- and in some instances mesyl chloride (CH.sub.3 SO.sub.2 Cl)--MsCl--.
Thus according to another aspect of the invention, such a method comprises;
a) taking a known intermediate and adding oxygen or a hetero radical containing oxygen to it for example by adding a carbonyl (c) to an amine;
b) adding a desired radical to the results of (a);
c) adding a suitable electrophile (EP) to react with the oxygen to yield a reaction product (O--EP) which is a leaving group susceptible to replacement by a nucleophile such as ammonia or an amine;
d) replacing the reaction product (leaving group) of (c) with NH.sub.2 or an amine group;
e) closing a ring if required to produce a desired compound.
In accordance with another aspect of the invention, such a method may comprise;
f) taking an intermediate compound carrying oxygen (for example the results of subparagraph (a) of the previous paragraph) and adding a suitable electrophile (EP) to react with the intermediate at the site of the oxygen to yield a reaction product therebetween as a leaving group susceptible to replacement by a nucleophile such as ammonia or amine;
g) replacing the reaction product (O--EP) (leaving group) of (f) with NH.sub.3 or ammonia group;
h) optionally adding a radical if desired before or after carrying out either or both of steps (f) and (g);
i) closing a ring if required to produce a desired compound.
According to another aspect of the invention a method of manufacture of substituted ureas and guanidines including 2-amino-substituted quinazoline compounds (for example Terazosin, Prazosin and Doxazosin) is provided comprising;
(a) converting an amine to its corresponding urea;
substituting the NH.sub.2 group of the substituted urea of (a) by an amine;
(c) reacting the resulting substituted urea with a suitable electrophile (EP) to yield a reaction product in which the oxygen of the urea reacts with the electrophile (EP) to become a good leaving group that can be displaced by a nucleophile for example such as ammonia or an amine;
(d) replacing the reaction product between the oxygen and EP (leaving group) of (c) by NH.sub.3 or an amine to provide for example unsymmetrically substituted guanidines;
(e) optionally, and if required closing the resulting substituted guanidine to provide 2-amino-substituted quinazolines such as Terazosin, Prazosin, and Doxazosin.
In this way, greater yields and high purity of known products can be achieved, for example steps (a) and (b) of the immediately previous process being both converted in very high yields of 85-95%. Furthermore compounds of the invention may be conveniently prepared by a "one pot" synthesis, starting from the substituted urea (b).
According to another aspect of the invention, such a method may comprise;
a) taking a known intermediate and converting it to a urea;
b) adding a suitable electrophile (EP) to react with the oxygen of the urea to yield a reaction product as a leaving group susceptible to replacement by an amine;
c) replacing the leaving group of (b) with an amine;
d) closing a ring if required to produce a desired compound.
In accordance with another aspect of the invention, such a method may comprise;
e) taking a known intermediate and converting it to a urea;
f) adding a suitable electrophile (EP) to react with the oxygen of the urea to yield a reaction product as a leaving group susceptible to replacement by an amine;
g) displacing the leaving group of the reaction product of (f) with an amine;
h) closing the ring if required to produce a desired compound.
The salts of the guanidines may also be produced for example Terazosin hydrochloride and terazosin hydrochloride dihydrate and Doxazosin Mesylate.
In accordance with another aspect of the invention, exemplary novel processes of the manufacture of guanidine compounds are disclosed. In one method, guanidine compounds are synthesized starting for example from 3,4-dimethoxyanthranilonitrile I and the corresponding amine III. The initial reactants are all available and are easily manufactured as would be understood by persons skilled in the art.
In an exemplary method, an amine I (nitrile) is converted to its corresponding urea II in high yields (85-90%) with sodium cyanate. The resulting urea is then condensed with a proper amine III �N-(tetrahydro-2-furoyl) piperazine in the case of Terazosin, N-(2-furoyl) piperazine in the case of Prazosin, N-(1,4-Benzodioxan-2-carbonyl) piperazine in the case of Doxazosin, Methylthiooxadiazale carbonyl piperazine in the case of Tiodazosin, 2,2-dimethyl-2-hydroxy ethyl ester piperazine in the case of Trimazosin, propene carbonyl piperazine in the case of Quinazosin and butyroyl diazo cycloheptane (a 7-membered dinitrogen radical) in the case of bunazosin! in refluxing pyridine to afford IV (85-95% yield). The intermediate IV is then reacted with an appropriate electrophile (e.g. POCl.sub.3, PCl.sub.5, tosyl chloride, phosphorous pentoxide), resulting in the conversion of the oxygen of the urea into a good leaving group (V). Addition of ammonia (e.g. ammonia gas or ammonium carbonate) will then displace the activated oxygen function, forming the corresponding guanidine VI. Quinazoline ring system VII is then formed by the attack of the amino group of the guanidine on the nitrile. This is a very facile reaction and in fact intermediate VI was not isolated.
The following reaction scheme thus presents itself: ##STR23## wherein --O--EP is the reaction of the urea oxygen and EP, and is a leaving group substitutable by --NH.sub.2 or an amine.
In this scheme R may be hydrogen or lower alkoxy (for example methoxy), R.sub.1 and R.sub.2 may be lower alkyl (for example methyl), n is a number selected from 1 and 2 and R.sub.3 may be selected from unsubstituted or substituted furoyl (for example furoyl or tetrahydrofuroyl), benzodioxanyl carbonyl (for example 1,4-benzodioxan-2-yl carbonyl), lower alkylthiooxadiazole carbonyl (for example methylthiooxadiazole carbonyl), dialkyl hydroxy alkyl ester (for example 2,2-dimethyl hydroxy ethyl ester), alkene (for example propene) and alkyroyl (for example butyroyl).
The following chart identifies combinations of substituents for identified Medicines:

Thus the following is specifically included: ##STR31##
The radical R.sub.3 ' and R.sub.3 '-C may be substituted by other radicals as is apparent from examination of the substituents for R.sub.3 '.
Usual work up of the reaction mixture results in the isolation of the desired product. Compounds II (including II'), IV (including IV'), V (including V') and VI (including VI') are novel and the processes of their manufacture are also novel.
In the case of Meobentine and Bethanidine, urea Ia, for example, dimethyl urea, is reacted with Electrophile (EP) to produce (IIa). Condensation of benzylamine (IIIa) with IIa affords Meobentine and Bethanidine. ##STR32## Compounds IIa are new and the processes of their manufacture are also novel.
In another method, for example the urea nitrile II is initially activated with an electrophile (EP) such as POCl.sub.3, PCl.sub.5, etc, (see above) to form intermediate VIII in which the oxygen function of the urea reacted with the EP becomes a good leaving group. Displacement of the oxygen by a proper amine III and subsequent work-up results in the isolation of the desired quinazoline VII (for example terazosin). Compounds II, VI and VIII are novel. Preferably EP is PCOl.sub.3.
The following reaction scheme presents itself:

Thus the following is specifically included: ##STR42## (The tetrahydrofuryl radical may be substituted by furyl or 1,4-benzodioxan-2-yl to produce Prazosin and Doxazosin, respectively. The tetrahydrofuryl radical, tetrahydrofuroyl radical, and tetrahydrofuroyl piperazine radical may also be substituted by the other radicals for example those for R.sub.3 '.)
In another method, for example the amine III is converted to its corresponding urea IX with cyanic acid. Again the oxygen function of the urea is converted to a good leaving group using an electrophile (EP) such as POCl.sub.3, PCl.sub.5, etc. to form X. Displacement of the activated oxygen by the amine function of I and subsequent work-up results in the isolation of the desired quinazoline VII, which may be converted to its pharmaceutically acceptable salts (for example the hydrochloride or mesylate salt). The following reaction scheme presents itself:
__________________________________________________________________________ ##STR43## ##STR44##wherein R R.sub.1 R.sub.2 n R.sub.3 are selected from__________________________________________________________________________ H Me Me 1 ##STR45## H Me Me 1 ##STR46## H Me Me 1 ##STR47## H Me Me 1 ##STR48## OMe Me Me 1 ##STR49## H Me Me 1 ##STR50##and H Me Me 2 ##STR51##__________________________________________________________________________
Compounds IX, X and VI are novel and processes of their manufacture are also novel.
Thus the following is included: ##STR52##
(Once again the tetrahydrofuryl radical may be replaced by furyl or 1,4-benzodioxan-2-yl). The tetrahydrofuryl radical and the tetrahydrofuroyl radicals may also be substituted as is apparent.
Compounds VI", IX" and X" are novel and the processes of their manufacture are also novel.
Thus according to another aspect of the invention, compounds of the formula ##STR53## are provided wherein R.sub.a is selected from hydrogen, R.sub.b is selected from hydrogen, and a substituted phenyl radical substituted by at least one of alkoxy (for example methoxy) and cyano, and
R.sub.c and R.sub.d are each selected from hydrogen, (provided R.sub.c and R.sub.d are not hydrogen when R.sub.a and R.sub.b are hydrogen) or may with the nitrogen be connected together to form a closed ring preferably containing at least a second nitrogen, (preferably being a 6-membered or 7-membered ring), the closed ring being substituted by substituted carbonyl for example R carbonyl (wherein R is selected from furyl, tetrahydrofuryl, 1,4-benzodioxan-2-yl, alkylthiooxadiazole for example methylthiooxadiazole and alkyl (for example propyl), dialkyl hydroxy alkyl ester for example, 2,2-dimethyl-2-hydroxy-ethyl ester, and alkene (for example propene).
Exemplary of such compounds are II, II', IV, IV", IX and IX" set out below: ##STR54##
According to another aspect of the invention compounds of the formula ##STR55## are provided, wherein: EP is an electrophile and together with the oxygen forms a leaving group wherein --O--EP is the reaction of the urea oxygen and EP, and is leaving group substitutable by --NH.sub.2 or ammonia (preferably substitutable by NH.sub.2 or an amine) (preferably EP being selected from POCl.sub.3, P.sub.2 O.sub.5, PCl.sub.5, mesyl chloride and tosyl chloride),

Exemplary of such compounds are V, V', IIa, VIII, VIII', X and X" set out below: ##STR56##
According to another aspect of the invention compounds of formula ##STR57## are provided wherein R.sub.b is selected from a substituted phenyl being substituted by a radical selected from at least one of alkoxy (for example methoxy) and cyano and R.sub.c, R.sub.d together with the Nitrogen, form a closed ring preferably containing a second nitrogen (preferably being a 6-7 membered ring), the closed ring being substituted by furoyl, tetrahydrofuroyl, 1,4-benzodioxan-2-yl carbonyl, methylthiooxadiazole carbonyl, dialkyl hydroxy alkyl ester (for example 2, 2-dimethyl-2-hydroxy-ethyl ester), alkene (for example propene), alkoyl (for example butyroyl)
Exemplary of such compounds are compounds V, VI' and VI" set out below: ##STR58##
Additionally compounds VII and XI are of higher purity than prior art compounds and contain for example residues of II, IV, V, VI, VIII, IX or X. ##STR59## wherein the appropriate substituents are selected dependent on the medicine for example see the chart below:
______________________________________COMPOUND R R.sub.1 R.sub.2 n R.sub.3______________________________________PRAZOSIN H Me Me 1 ##STR60##TERAZOSIN H Me Me 1 ##STR61##DOXAZOSIN H Me Me 1 ##STR62##TIODAZOSIN H Me Me 1 ##STR63##TRIMAZOSIN OMe Me Me 1 ##STR64##QUINAZOSIN H Me Me 1 ##STR65##BUNAZOSIN H Me Me 2 ##STR66##______________________________________
The combinations of these residues with VII and XI are also new providing a product of higher purity. Thus for example for Terazosin, the residues II', IV", V", VI", VIII', IX" and/or X" are follows: ##STR67## wherein --O--EP is the reaction of the urea oxygen and EP, and is a leaving group substitutable by --NH.sub.2 or ammonia.
Where the medicine is Prazosin the residues II', IV'", V'", VI'", VIII', IX'" and/or X'" may be: ##STR68## wherein --O--EP is the reaction of the urea oxygen and EP, and is a leaving group substitutable by --NH.sub.2 or ammonia.

The invention will now be illustrated with respect to the following exemplary methods of manufacture.
