TECHNICAL FIELD OF THE INVENTION
The invention relates to a new process for the preparation of ([2S[2R*[R[R*]]]] and ([2R[2S*[S[S*]]]]-(±)-α,α' -[imino- bis(methylene)]bis[6-fluoro-chroman-2-methanol] of the formula

(whereafter nebivolol) and its pure [2S[2R*[R[R*]]]]-, and [2R[2S*[S[S*]]]] enantiomers.
Nebivolol is in the market as a practically side-effect free vasodilatation drug, which has βi-adrenerg receptor blocking and vasodilatation properties with very favourable effect on the endogen formation of nitrogen monoxide.
Although the compound can have 16 stereoisomer forms theoretically because of four asymmetric centres in the structure, but the compound is symmetrical about an axis, which contains the nitrogen atom of the compound, therefore only 10 different stereoisomer forms exist. STATE OF THE ART
Preparation of nebivolol is described in the patent description

Figure imgf000004_0004
The product is reacted with oxalyl chloride and then triethylamine at -60 °C produced the racemic aldehyde of the formula
Figure imgf000004_0005
The racemic aldehyde of the formula XXXV is reacted with sodium hydride, then trimethyl sulfoxonium iodide in a solution of dimethyl sulfoxide. A mixture of racemic RS and SR epoxides of the formula
XXXVI-A racemate XXXVI-B racemate
Figure imgf000005_0001
and of racemic SS and RR epoxides of the formula XXXNI-B are obtained. The mixture is separated by column chromatography, thus the oily A-isomer racemate of the formula XXXNI-A and the oily B- isomer racemate of the formula XXXVI-B are obtained.
The mixture of "A"-"B" isomer racemates of the formula
XXXVIII
Figure imgf000005_0002
can be prepared by reacting the compound of the formula XXXNI-A isomer racemate with benzylamine, the given racemic products of the formula
XXXVI l-A racemate XXXVI l-B racemate
Figure imgf000005_0003
subsequently reacted with the compound of the formula XXXNI-B isomer racemate. The order of reactions can be changed. Thus, the compound of the formula XXXNI-B isomer racemate could be reacted with benzylamine. The given racemic product of the formula XXXVII- B is reacted with the compound of the formula XXXNI-A isomer racemate.
There is no teaching to separate the given mixture. The mixture can be separated by preparative HPLC supposedly. The desired nebivolol of the formula I was obtained by elimination of the benzyl group of the pure isomer racemate "A" of the formula XXXVIII-A. The reaction is carried out by catalytic hydrogenation.
The process described above has several serious disadvantages. For example the quality of dimethyl acetylenedicarboxylate is very changeable even if it was bought from same supplier. The cause is the uncertainty of the preparation method of this product. The preparation of racemic aldehyde of the formula XXXN takes place at a very low (-
60 °C) temperature, which requires special equipments.
Very serious disadvantage of the process is that the racemic aldehyde of the formula XXXV is very unstable. According to our experiments, the product given by vacuum distillation can not be used after standing a night at room temperature because it is changed considerably disintegrated.
Additional very serious disadvantage is that the racemates of the epoxides of the formula XXXVI, the RS and SR = A isomer and the RR and SS = B isomer are oily products. Their separation can be carried out by chromatographic, especially column chromatographic process, which is very difficult to use in industrial scale. There is no teaching in the description of the separation of the mixture of racemates (A and B) of the formula XXXVIII. According to our experiments the separation can be carried out only by chromatographic method. We tried to transform the racemic mixture of the compound of ' the formula "A" and "B" to the racemic mixture of the compound of the formula I by catalytic reduction. We expected that the separation of the desired product of the racemic compound A (nebivolol) from the other racemic compound can be carried out by crystallisation. The separation of mixture of the compounds of raceme "A" and "B" is not possible by recrystallisation nevertheless several different solvents are used.
The preparation of the compounds of SSSR and RRRS isomers of the compound nebivolol is described in the patent description EP 334-429 patent application. The substance of this invention is that the chromene-4-on-carboxylic acid compound of the formula XXXI obtained by catalytic hydrogenation (83% yield) of the 6-fluoro- chroman-2-carboxylic acid of the formula XXXII, the product is resolved than the obtained (+)-(S)-6-fluoro-chroman-carboxylic acid and the (-)-(S)-6-fluoro-chroman-carboxylic acid products are reacted separately according to reaction steps described in the US-4,654,362 patent application.
The 6-fluoro-chroman-2-carboxylic acid compound of the formula XXXII is resolved using (+)-dehydroabietylamine. The yield of the compound of (+)-(S)-6-fluoro-chroman-carboxylic acid is 11 ,3%, of the compound of (-)-(S)-6-fluoro-chroman-carboxylic acid is 9,2 % on the basis of the racemic compound.
The compound of (+)-(S)-6-fluoro-chroman-carboxylic acid is transferred to the aldehyde compound of the formula XXXV (S) at - 70°C with 57,9% yield, then the oily compound of (+)-[S(S)]-6-fluoro- 2-oxiranyl-chroman of the formula XXXVI (S) is obtained with 9,8 % yield after the separation by chromatographic method. The yield on the basis of the 6-fluoro-chromane-4-carboxylic acid compound of the formula XXXII is 0,64%, the total yield on the basis of the compound of chromene-4-one-carboxylic acid is 0,53%.
The compound of (-)-(R)-6 -fiuoro-chroman-2-carboxylic acid is transferred to the compound of methyl ester of the formula XXXIII (R) wherein R stands for a methyl group, with 82,6% yield, then it is reduced to the aldehyde compound of the formula XXXV (R) at -80°C with[bis(2-methyl-propyl)]-aluminium hydride. The compound of (-)- [R(S)]-6-gluoro-2-oxiranyl-chromanone of the formula XXXVI (R) is obtained with 24,8% yield by the reaction of the aldehyde compound with trimethyl-sulfoxonium iodide, then purified by HPLC. The yield on the basis of the 6-fluoro-chromane-4-carboxylic acid compound of the formula XXXII is 1,9%, the total yield on the basis of the compound of chromene-4-one-carboxylic acid of the formula XXXI is 1,9%.
The compound of (-)-[R(S)]-benzylamine of the formula XXXVII (R) is obtained with 38,1% yield by reaction of the compound of (-)-[R(S)]-6-fluoro-2-oxiranyl-chroman with benzylamine, then the product was reacted with (+)-[S(S)]-epoxide compound of the formula XXXNI (S). Then the benzyl group is eliminated by hydrogenation from the previously obtained ([2R[2S*[S[S*]]]]-benzyl compound, thus obtained the 1-nebivolol of the formula I (R,S,S,S) with 42 % yield.
(The yield on the basis of the compound of (-)-[R(S)]-6-fluoro- 2-oxiranyl-chromanone of the formula XXXNI (R) is 16%, the yield on the basis of the 6-fluoro-chromane-4-carboxylic acid compound of the formula XXXII is 0,30%, the total yield on the basis of the compound of chromene-4-one-carboxylic acid of the formula XXXI is 0,25 %.)
The compound of d-nebivolol is prepared in the same manner, using intermediates of formulas XXXV, XXXVI, XXXVII, and XXXVIII, although this synthesis is not described fully in the cited description.
Serious disadvantage of this synthesis is that the resolvation of the compound of the formula XXXII can be carried out with poor yield by using (+)-dehydroabiteinamine and (-)-dehydroabiteinamine. It is very difficult to get at these very expensive reagents. Additional disadvantage is that only one of the two enantiomers can be prepared pure which is shown by the values of optical rotation of the compounds. Using the described conditions the two values of optical rotation can be same instead of the described values of +14,88° and -
13,39°.
Additional disadvantages of this synthesis are that the several steps of it are carried out at a very low (-70 °C, or -80 °C ) temperature which requires special equipments, furthermore the compound of S(S)-eρoxide of the formula XXXNI (S) and the compound of R(S)-epoxide of the formula XXXNI (R) are separated by HPLC which is not feasible in industrial scale.
The strategy of the descriptions of the patent US-4,654,362 and EP-334-429 are same, a chroman structure is prepared , which contains a one carbon containing ligand on its second carbon atom, from which either racemic or optically active aldehyde is obtained, then the aldehyde is transferred to an epoxide of the formula XXXNI by chain elongation. The epoxide compounds are separated by chromatograph, then reacted with benzylamine obtained racemate compounds of the formula XXXNIII. The isomer racemate is supposedly purified by chromatography, then the benzyl group is eliminated, obtained the nebivolol.
The description of J. Am. Chem. Soc. 1988, 120, 8340-8347 has a different strategy.

Figure imgf000012_0003
is reacted with hydrazine to remove the phtalimidyl group, thus obtained the compound of 2(R)-2-(2'(R)-tert.-buthyl-dimethyl- silyloxy-2-aminoethyl)-6-fluoro-chroman of the formula
Figure imgf000013_0001
Racemic compound of anti-2-[2-(r-propenyl)-4-fluoro-phenoxy]-3- cyclohepten-1-ol of the formula XLIII is reacted with tertier-buthyl- dimethyl-silyloxy-triflate (TBSOTf), the given racemic tert-buthyl- dimethyl-silyloxy-ether of the formula XLIV is transferred to syn- 2(S)-[2-(r-propenyl)-4-fluoro-phenoxy]-l(R)-tert.-buthyl-dimethyl- silyloxy-3-cycloheptene of the formula XLIV (S,R) by using (S)- ethylene-l,2-bis(η -4,5,6,7-tetrahydro-l-indenyl)zirconiumbiphenol ((S)-(EBTHI)Zr-biphenol). The obtained product is converted to (S)- (r-tert.-buthyl-dimethyl-silyloxy-5-hexenyl)-6-fluoro-chroman of the formula XLV (S,R) in presence of difficult molybdenum catalyst as described above, then it is transferred via the compound of the formula XLVI (S,R) into 2(S)-(l(R)-tert.-buthyl-dimethyl-silyloxy-5- propenyl)-6-fluoro-chroman of the formula XLVII according to the description above. The product is converted to the compound of 2(S)- (l(R)-tert.-bu yl-dimethyl-silyloxy-2-oxo-ethyl)-6-fluoro-chroman of the formula
Figure imgf000013_0002
The last step of the synthesis is the reductive condensation of the compound of aldehyde of the formula LI (S,R) and the compound of amine of the formula L (R,R), in which the d-nebivolol is produced by acidic hydrolysis of the compound of (-)-[S,R,R,R]-oς
Figure imgf000014_0001
[bis(methylene)-bis-(6-fluoro-chroman-2-tert.-buthyl-dimethyl- silyloxy-methyl] .
The strategy is based on the synthesis of chroman ring and stereo selective formulation of its side chain cc carbon atom. This aim can be solved only with a formation of a difficult, long side chain. Resolvation requires usage of an unusual (R)-(EBTHI)Zr-biphenol reagent, which is not marketed, the side chain is eliminated by photochemical reaction, then it is reacted with ozone at -78°C. After these synthesis steps several additional steps are required to obtain the key compounds of the synthesis, the amine of the formula L (R,R) and the aldehyde of the formula LI (S,R). This synthesis is not feasible in industrial scale too, because the use of very special catalysts and the unusual dilution of the reaction mixture in the photochemical step of the synthesis. Ozonolysis makes the method uneconomical with its dangerous and extreme circumstances and requires special equipments. Yields of synthesis steps are low. The last steps are described only in mg scale.
Another synthesis is of d-nebivolol of the formula I (S,R,R,R) is described in the Tetrahedron 56, 6339 (2000). The starting compound is 4-fluoro-phenol of the formula II, which is reacted with allylbromide to give an O-allyl-ester of the formula
Figure imgf000015_0001
This product is isomerised to 2-allyl-fuoro-phenol of the formula
Figure imgf000015_0002
in circumstances of Claisen reaction, then the phenolic hydroxyl group is protected with 2-tert.-buthyl-dimethyl-silyl chloride given the compound of the formula
Figure imgf000015_0003
subsequently water addition is performed onto the allyl-group in basic media with a complex of borane/dimethyl sulfide/hydrogen peroxide, thus obtained a propanol compound of the formula
Figure imgf000015_0004
The product is converted to a 2-pentanoate of the formula
Figure imgf000016_0001
by the reaction with Dess-Martin reagent, then a Wittig olefin synthesis, using ethyltriphenylphosphorane as reactant. The pentanoate compound is reduced with DIBAL-H reagent to (E)-pentenol of the formula
Figure imgf000016_0002
at -10°C. The pentenol compound containing free phenolic hydroxyl group of the formula
Figure imgf000016_0003
is obtained by elimination of silyl group. Subsequently the product is subjected to the Sharpless asymmetrical epoxidation reaction and cyclisation in the same time in presence of (+) diethyl L-tartrate, the given product of 2-chromenyl-(2S)('R)-l,2-ethanediol compound of the formula
Figure imgf000017_0001
is tosylated with tosyl-chloride, the tosyl-ester of the formula
Figure imgf000017_0002
is reacted with sodium azide. The key intermediate of the synthesis is obtained by transformation of azide compound of the formula
Figure imgf000017_0003
to the amine compound of the formula
Figure imgf000017_0004
which is isolated as hydrochloride salt followed by catalytic hydro genation of the compound of the azide compound.
In an other line of the synthesis, the phenolic pentenole compound of the formula LIX is subjected to Sharpless asymmetrical epoxidation reaction and cyclisation in the same step in presence of (-) diethyl D-tartrate, the given product of 2-chromenyl-(lS)-l,2- ethanediol compound of the formula
Figure imgf000018_0001
reacted with diaza-dicarboxilate, triphenylphosphine and p-nitro- benzoic acid in Mitsunobu reaction conditions. Beside the inversion of the C2 carbon atom di-(4-nitro-phenyl-carbonyl-oxy) compound of the formula
Figure imgf000018_0002
is obtained. Followed the removing of the alcohol-protecting groups with sodium methylate, the given product, the diol compound of the formula
Figure imgf000018_0003
is transferred to a mono-methyl compound in basic media. The obtained product is transferred to the tosylate compound of the formula LXVII
Figure imgf000019_0001
which is subjected to a reaction with sodium-methylate to obtain the epoxide compound of the formula
LXVII I
Figure imgf000019_0002
D-nebivolol of the formula I (S,R,R,R) is obtained by condensation of the amine of the formula LXIII and the epoxide of the formula LXVIII in presence of borontrifluoride etherate.
Although it is impressive that the synthesis uses same intermediates to the Sharpless-reaction it has some serious disadvantages. It is known from the literature (Org. React. 48, 1-300, 1996), that the Sharpless asymmetrical epoxidation reaction has 90 % stereo selectivity in the best case, but it is not rare case that the stereo selectivity is of this reaction only 65%. Most of the compounds of this synthesis are oily products except tosylate compounds of the formula LXI and LXVII and the amine-hydrochloride compound of the formula LXIII. The oily compounds are purified by chromatography. The chromatography process does not increase the stereo selectivity, all intermediates have low stereo selectivity. The given optical purity data of the d-nebivolol of the formula I (S,R,R,R) (c= 0,02g/100ml optical rotation is +0,038°) is similar to the data given in the article J. Am. Chem. Soc. 1988, 120, 8340-8347, in which c= 0,0027g/100ml optical rotation is +0,04°) but using this low concentration with this low rotation value it can not be used to confirm the optical purity. According to our experiments, the optical purity can be defined correctly by using the chirally HPLC method. Accuracy of this process +- 2%, therefore we gave the optical purity of our products in our examples 98 %, although all are found as 100% optically pure compounds.
Additional disadvantage of this process, that the Sharpless reaction requires not only the cheap (-)-diethyl-D-tartrate, but the expensive (+)-diethyl-L-tartrate is necessary, which is difficult to get at.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
We found surprisedly that all disadvantages described can be eliminated by using a new synthesis strategy for producing nebivolol, in which a two carbon atoms long ligand is formed containing two hydroxyl group in protected form on the chroman ring and containing an oxo group on its 4th position. Even, the two protected hydroxyl groups or one of them can be protected with cheap d-, or 1- glycerinealdehyde in the desired stereochemically form. In this case, after the elimination of protection of hydroxyl group, crystalline diastereomer products are given, which "resolve" themselves. Beside the shorter synthesis, it is not needed to use expensive agents to resolve the enantiomers.

According to one of the more advantageous variations of our invention, pure tosylate compounds of the general formula XIN(R,R) XN(S,S) can be prepared easily by the crystallisation of the reaction mixture obtained from the tosylation of the residue of the filtrate remained from the recrystallisation of the compound of general formula XII (S,R) or XIII (R,S), which were crystallised from the mixture of chroman-diol compounds of the general formula XI (R,R and S,R) or XI (S,S and R,S). Subsequently the tosylates of the general formula XIV(R,R), XIV(S,R), XV(R,S), XV(S,S) are separately transferred, to corresponding crystalline oxyranes of the formula

The processing of the reaction mixture is carried out in the known manner, the reaction mixture is poured onto ice, the organic layer is dried and evaporated. Thus, the obtained crude oily product of the formula V, wherein X stands for a chloro atom is ready to use to the next synthesis step, but it can be crystallised by adding cyclohexane.
The reaction of the compounds of the formula V wherein X defined above with triphenylphosphine obtains the compound of the general formula VI, wherein X defined above. The reaction is carried out in a polar protic, or aprotic solvent preferably in methanol, ethanol, propanol, isopropanol, acetonitrile, dichloromethane or 1,2- dichloroethane, between 0-120°C preferably between 10-100°C more preferably between 20-80°C temperature. The product is separated from solvent and easy to filtrate. The given phosphonium salts are stable, they have good storage properties and they can be used directly in the next step.
The phosphonium salts can be transferred into phosphanylidene-etanon compounds with weak base, like solid hydrogen-carbonates, preferably sodium or potassium hydrogen carbonate more preferable sodium hydrogen carbonate preferably in a mixture of water and a chloroinated solvent, more preferably in a mixture of water and dichloromethane. The product is obtained followed the separation and drying of the dichloromethane layer and evaporated to dryness in vacuum. This stable product has good storage stability and can be used directly in the next reaction step.
The reaction of the phosphanylidene-etanon compound with the glycerinealdehyde compound of the formula NIIII(R) or VIIII(S) is performed in a solvent which is immiscible in water, preferably chloroinated solvent, more preferably dichloromethane, at temperature between 0-60°C preferably between 10-40°C more preferably at room temperature. After completion of the reaction, the mixture is washed with water, dried and the solvent is evaporated.

Lower alkyl alcohol, preferably isopropanol is added to the residual oil, then the product of the reaction of the desired compound of the formula IX (R), or IX(S) is separated as crystalline, thus the product is filtered.
The ring closure of the ethylene compounds of the formula IX (R) or IX(S) to the mixture of the protected chroman-4-one diastereomers of the formula X (R,R and S,R) or the mixture of diastereomers of the formula X (R,S and S,S) performed by reacting with a strong basis, preferably reacting with an alkali hydroxide, for example lithium, sodium or potassium hydroxide, more preferably with lithium hydroxide or with an organic quaterner ammonium hydroxide, preferably tetramethyl ammonium hydroxide in a solution of water or in a mixture of water and lower alkyl alcohol, or in a mixture of water and tetrahydrofurane at the temperature between 10-
100°C preferably between 20-80°C more preferably at 60°C. The product is extracted from reaction mixture with a polar solvent which is immiscible in water, preferably with diethyl ether, the organic layer is separated, dried and the solvent is evaporated. Thus the obtained residue, the oily products of the diastereomers of protected chroman-4- ones are suitable for use to the next step. In desired case the diastereomers of protected chroman-4-ones of the formula X(R,R), X(S,R), X(R,S) and X(S,S) can be obtained as pure crystalline followed by chromatographic separation.
The protecting group can be removed from the protected chroman-4-oήes of the general formula X in a mixture of water and of acid preferably in a mixture of water and an organic acid, more preferably in mixture of water and acetic acid, at the temperature between 20-100°C preferably between 40-80°C more preferably at
65°C under stirring. The obtained products, the compounds of chroman-4-ones of the formula XII (R,R), XII(S,R), XIII(R,S) and XIII(S,S) are evaporated in vacuum to eliminate the solvent, then the oily residue is crystallized.

The ratio of the organic ester and aliphatic hydrocarbon is 1 :2 preferably.
For the preparation of pure compounds of chroman-4-ories of the formula XII(R,R), XII(S,R), XIII(R,S) and XIII(S,S) it is not necessary to separate the mixture of the protected chroman-4-one diastereomers of the formula X (R,R and S,R) and the mixture of diastereomers of the formula X (R,S and S,S) in advance, because after removing the protecting group in an acidic- aqueous media and ; : removing the solvent as described above, the obtained diastereomers of the formula XI (R,R and S,R) or from the mixture of diastereomers of the formula X I (R,S and S,S) obtained as an oily residue which can be crystallised from a mixture of ethylacetate and n-hexane in ratio 2:1. The obtained crystalline product is the compound of the formula XII (S,R) or XIII(R,S). After the evaporation of the solvent of filtrate the oily residue is recrystallised from diethyl ether, thus pure crystalline product of the formula XII(R,R) or XIII(S,S) is obtained.
Tosylation of enantiomer compounds of the formula XII(R,R), XII(S,R), XIII(R,S) and XIII(S,S) to their corresponding chromanon- diol-tosylates can be carried out in a chloroinated solvent preferably in dichloromethane, in presence of an organic base as an acid binding agent, preferably pyridine, or pyridine is used as solvent at the temperature -10- +25°C preferably at 0°C. After the completion of reaction the acid binding agent is removed by extraction with water, the organic layer is dried, the solvent evaporated, then the product is crystallised from lower alkyl ether preferably from diethyl ether and filtered, thus pure crystalline tosylates are obtained. In case of use of pyridine as solvent, the reaction mixture is diluted with water, then, the precipitated product is solved in a solvent immiscible in water and processed as described above. A favourable variation of the process of our invention is that after removing the protecting group from the diastereomers of the formula XI (R,R and S,R) or from the mixture of diastereomers of the formula XI (R,S and S,S) in an acidic- watery media only the enantiomers of the formula XII (S,R) or XIII (R,S) are crystallised, the filtrate enriched in the compounds of formula XII(R,R) or XIII(S,S). They are s transferred into corresponding tosylates of the formula XIV (R,R) or XN (S,S) which have good crystallisation properties and they are more insoluble than the compounds of the formula XIN (S,R) or XN (S,R) and they can be easily obtained by simple crystallisation and filtration.

The main advantages of the process according to present invention are as follows:
1. The use of protected optically active glycerinealdehyde compounds of the formula VIII(R) or VIII(S) causes that the - hydroxyl group of the diol side chain at the 2nd place of the chroman- 4-on structure is formed as an optically active group and it "resolves" the compound without other resolving agent. 2. The oxo- group at the 4th position of the chroman structure causes that the intermediates are crystalline compounds, which makes the purification of diastereomer intermediates easy without chromatography.
3. Serious advantage is that the pure tosylates of the formula XrV (R,R) and XV (S,S) are obtained with good yield by simple recrystallisation, without chromatographic separation from the reaction mixture, which is given by tosylation of the filtrate, which is produced from the crystallisation of the compound of the formula XII (S,R) or XIII (R,S) from of diastereomer mixtures of the formula XI (R,R and S,R) or XI (R,S and S,S).
4. Additional advantage is that the phosphanylidene compound of the formula VII used in Wittig reaction is a stable compound and it has good storage properties without time limit and special conditions.
5. All steps of the synthesis according to present invention undergo between 0-145°C therefore the process does not require special equipments.
