Abstract

Individual reaction steps in the above scheme are presented as being novel per se, as are some of the intermediate compounds formed.

Step (1) is the subject of Patent Specification
No. 49559
The overall process of the invention follows the reaction sequence: q
VIII
9 5 5 8
In the first step of a preferred process according to the invention, when X is OH, the reactants are heated together in a solvent such as acetone or N,N-dimethylformamide and in the presence of a base, preferably a weak base such as an alkali metal carbonate, e.g. potassium or sodium carbonate.
When X is BR, 1,4-dibromobenzene I is reacted with the 2,2,2-trifluoroethoxide ion in a strongly polar solvent mixture at a temperature up to the reflux temperature of the solution in the presence of cuprous or cupric ion to provide the desired product II in good yield. The 2,2,2-trifluoroethoxide ion is obtained from the corresponding alcohol by reaction with a strong base such as sodium hydroxide or preferably sodium hydride. Suitable solvent mixtures include dimethyl sulfoxide, N,N-dimethylacetamide and preferably
N,N-dimethylformamide, each with about 10 to 50 percent, and preferably about 20 percent, of 2,2,2-trifluoroethanol. Cuprous ion is provided, e.g. by a cuprous halide such as cuprous iodide or cuprous bromide. Cupric ion is provided e.g. by cupric bromide, cupric sulfate or cupric acetate.
In step (2) the 1,4-bis(2,2,2-trifluoroethoxy)benzene II produced in the first step is acetylated by reacting under mild conditions with any acetylating agent such as acetyl chloride or acetic anhydride in the presence of a Lewis acid catalyst such as tin chloride, ferric chloride or, preferably, aluminum chloride. The acetylation is carried out in a suitable non-reactlve solvent such as a chlorinated hydrocarbon, such as dichloromethane, trichloroethylene or 1,2-dichloroethane, diethyl ether, tetrahydrofuran and the
4955· like. Unexpectedly, this reaction provides high yields Of the desired acetophenone III.
The reaction of step (3) (a) in the preferred process, is a simple chlorinaticn of the intermediate III in a suitable solvent such as ethyl acetate, a chlorinated hydrocarbon or, preferably, in acetic acid solution. This reaction is carried out at a moderate temperature, preferably 50 to 60° C.
The product IV can be isolated if desired, or the chlorination carried on as in step (3)(b) to obtain the inter10 mediate V by adding a buffering agent e.g. an acetate salt such as sodium acetate and raising the temperature slightly for example, to 80 to 100° C. while continuing the chlorination.
The reaction of step (3)(c) is most conveniently carried out by adding the acetophenone III tc a cold solution of an alkali metal or alkaline earth hydroxide (such as sodium hydroxide potassium hyd.oxide or calcium hydroxide) which has been saturated with chlorine to pH 7 (forming the corresponding hypochlorite). The reaction is then facilitated by warm20 ing the reaction mixture. A very high yield of the desired
2,5-bis(2,2,2-trifluoroethoxy)benzoic acid VI is obtained.
In step (3)(d) the acid is converted to the corresponding acyl chloride by reaction with an inorganic acid chloride such as thionyl chloride, phosphorous trichloride or phosphorous pentachloride (preferably phosphorous trichloride) at reflux with or without a suitable non-reactive solvent such as benzene or toluene or a halogenated hydrocarbon.
Step (4) of the preferred process may be carried out directly from the saturated diamine 2-(aminomethyl)piperidine or indirectly from the unreduced diamine 2-(aminomethyl)pyridine. Thus, 2-aminomethylpiperidine can be reacted with the tri5 chloroacetophenone product of step (3)(b) or the compound 2aminomethylpyridine can be reacted with the trichloroacetophenone product V of step (3)(b). In either case, the reaction proceeds readily without external heating in an inert solvent such as toluene, benzene, isopropyl alcohol, cyclo10 hexane and the like. The reaction proceeds particularly readily and in high yield when the unreduced diamine is reacted in a mixture of toluene and cyclohexane.
When the final step of the preferred process is carried out, starting with the acid chloride product VII of step (3)(d), it is also carried out directly from 2-(aminomethyl)piperidine or indirectly from 2-(aminomethyl)pyridine. The acid chloride product of step (3)(d) is reacted by heating in a non-reactive solvent such as glyme, benzene, toluene or diethyl ether (preferably glyme). Alternatively, 2-aminomethyl pyridine can be reacted with the acid chloride product of step (3)(d) in the presence of a non-reactive solvent such as toluene or benzene. This mixture is heated at reflux in the presence of an acid acceptor (e.g. a tertiary amine such as triethylamine). The adduct obtained from the reaction of an 2-(aminomethyl)pyridine with either compound V or VII is reduced to the desired product VIII by catalytic hydrogenation in the presence of platinum oxide or (preferably) platinum on carbon. The solvent used for this reaction is methanol or a lower alkanoic acid such as (and preferably) glacial ace .xc acid and uh; preferred temperature range is 15 to 30° C. When acetic acid is used the product obtained is flecainide acetate.
The following examples illustrate the processes of the invention and the preparation of the intermediate products thereof, and are not intended to be limiting on the scope of the invention as described hereinabove.
Example 1
Step (1) of the process: A = SO^CFg and X = OH
To a mixture of 2.42 moles (334.4 g.) of potassium carbonate, 2.2 moles (510.6 g.) of 2,2,2-trifluoroethyl trifluorometha.iesulfonate in 1.02 liters of acetone is added a solution of 1.0 mole (110 g.) of hydroquinone in 1.1 liters of acetone, slowly over a 2 hour period. The reaction is then heated at reflux for 24 hours, the reaction mixture is evaporated, and 2 liters of -.hloroform and 2 liters of water are added to the residue. The chloroform layer is separated, the aqueous layer is washed twice with 1 liter of chloroform, and the combined chloroform solution is washed with 1 liter of water. The chloroform solution is dried over magnesium sulfate, then concentrated under vacuum. Hexane is added to the residue and the solid product is collected by filtration and washed with hexane. Additional material is collected from the concentrated residues. A yield of 88 percent, 241 g. of l,4-bis(2,2,2-trifluoroethoxy)benzene, m.p. 75-77° C. is obtained.

The reaction mixture is heated at about 100° C. for two hours, then quenched with ice water. Acidification with hydrochloric acid and filtration produces 9.2 g.

Chlorine gas is passed into the solution while maintaining the temperature below 10° C. until it is neutral to litmus, and 2.19 moles (87.6 g.) of sodium hydroxide dissolved in 200 ml. of water is added. The combined solution is warmed to 50° C., and 0.73 mole (230 g.) of 2,5-bis(2,2,2-trifluoroethoxy)acetophenone is added slowly.
