BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
This invention relates to c/s-3-(4,6-dihydroxychroman-3-ylmethyl)benzoic acids and processes for the preparation of such compounds. The compounds are intermediates useful in the preparation of optically pufe enantiomers of c/s-3-(6- arylmethyloxy-4-hydroxy-chroman-3-ylmethyl)aniline sulfonamides. The latter compounds are useful in the treatment of asthma, arthritis, psoriasis, ulcers, myocardial infarction and related diseases.

The use of the intermediates of this invention in preparing the c/s-3-(6- arylmethyloxy-4-hydroxy-chroman-3-ylmethyl)aniline sulfonamides is described in the patent application of Marfat, et al. (attorney docket number PC 8230) filed concurrently herewith. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to the compound of the formula
O H
novel processes for its preparation and a novel process for the preparation of the compound of the formula 0 H
( r ac e m l c )
useful in the preparation of the compound of formula I.
The present invention also relates to the optically pure diasteriomeri salts of the compound of formula I with the compound of formula
The compound of formula I is prepared, according to the invention, by acidifying the diasteriomeric salt of the compound of formula I with the compound of formula III.
The diasteriomeric salt of the compound of formula I with the compound of formula III is prepared according to the invention, by treating the compound of formula
II with the compound of formula III in the presence of a non-solvent for said salt. The present invention also relates to a novel method for preparing the compound of formula II by reducing the compound of formula
with a reducing agent selected from diisobutylaluminum hydride and borohydride ion in the presence of Ce (III) ion.
The overall reaction to prepare the compound I from the compound of formula IV through the above intermediate steps for the preparation of the compound of formula II is also part of the invention.
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The compound of formula I, also referred to herein as (3R-c/s)-3-(4,6- dihydroxychroman-3-ylmethyl)benzoic acid, is a novel compound prepared by acidifying the diasteriomeric salt of the compound of formula I and the compound of formula III in the presence of a solvent for the free acid.
The acidification is effected using an acid with a pKa of about < 3 such as HCI, H2S04, oxalic and citric acids.
The diasteriomeric salt of the compound of formula I and the compound of formula III is prepared by heating the compounds of formulae II and III in the presence of a non-solvent for said salt and recovered, after cooling to room temperature, by filtration.
Non-solvents for the diasteriomeric salt include ethanol and isopropanol. The preferred non-solvent is ethanol. The reaction is preferably carried out at a temperature between about 0°C and about 80°C, preferably at the reflux temperature of the non-solvent. Most preferably the reaction is effected at about 80°C.
The treatment of the compound of formula II with the compound of formula III is carried out over a period of about 30 minutes to about 3 hours, preferably about 1 hour.
The salt is purified by slurrying with the non-soivent at an elevated temperature followed by filtration at about room temperature. The slurrying procedure is, preferably, effected two times. If desired, the other cis enantiomer, i.e. (3S-c/s)-3-(4,6-dihydroxychroman-3- ylmethyl)benzoic acid may be prepared by substituting the (+) base for the compound of formula III. Alternatively, the 3S- acid may be prepared by treating the filtrate from the preparation of the diasteriomeric salt of the compound of formula I with acid followed by said (+ ) base followed by the above-indicated treatment for the salts with the (-) base.
Racemic c/s-3-(4,6-dihydroxychroman-3-ylmethyl)benzoic acid (compound II) is prepared, according to the invention, by the novel process of treating the compound of formula IV with a solution of a reducing agent in tetrahydrofuran/methanol. Preferred reducing agents are diisobutylaluminum hydride and borohydride in the presence of a Ce (III) salt. A most preferred reducing agent is borohydride ion in the presence of a Ce(lll) salt.
The tetrahydrofuran and methanol may be present in a ratio of from about 3:1 to about 1 :2, preferably about 3:1.
The reduction may be effected at a temperature from about -78°C to about 60°C, preferably at about 0°C.
In the practice of using the novel compound of formula I said compound is converted to the optically pure enantiomeric compound of formula
O H
through a Curtius rearrangement followed by hydrogenation. The phenolic hydroxyl group of the compound of formula V is then converted to the alkyl or aryl ether of formula
by treatment with an alkyl or aryl halide in the presence of a base followed by sulfonation of the amino group of the compound of formula VI. The sulfonamides, especially the trifluoromethanesulfonamides, of the compound of formula VI are useful in the treatment of asthma, arthritis, psoriasis, ulcers, myocardial infarction and related diseases.
The following Examples illustrate but do not limit the scope of this invention.
EXAMPLE 1 Racemic c/s-3-(4,6-dihvdroxychroman-3-ylmethyl)benzoic acid
To a solution of 3-(6-hydroxy-4-oxo-chroman-3-ylmethyl)benzoic acid (2.00 gm, 6.70 mmol) in 24 ml tetrahydrofuran was added 12 ml methanol followed by 1.50 gm CeCI3 (4.02 mmol). The resulting hazy solution was cooled to 0°C and treated with a total of 0.52 gm NaBH4, portionwise, over 55 minutes. 1N HCI was added to the reaction mixture which was then concentrated on a rotary evaporator, transferred to a separatory funnel and partitioned between water and ethyl acetate. The organic phase was washed twice with 1 N HCI, once with water and once with brine followed by drying over Na2SO4 and filtration. The filtrate was concentrated to a light brown oil which was evacuated to a tan foam, yielding 1.93 gm (96%). 1H NMR (dimethylsulfoxide-d6) δ 7.88 (m, 2H), 7.44 (m, 2H), 6.64 (m, 3H), 4.40 (s, 1 H), 3.91 (m, 2H), 3.30 (m, 1 H), 2.91 (m, 1 H), 2.61 (m, 1h); 13C NMR (dimethylsulfoxide-d6) δ 167.492, 150.473, 146,386, 140.452, 133.621 , 130.876, 129.907, 128.568, 127.058, 125.866, 116.361 , 116.021 , 115.941 , 64.246, 63.532, 31.858.
EXAMPLE 2 (-)-c s-N-Benzyl-2-(hydroxymethyl)cyclohexylamine salt of f-)-c/s-3-(4.6- dihvdroxychroman-3-ylmethyl)benzoic acid
To a solution of 1.766 gm (5.88 mmol) of racemic c/s-3-(4,6-dihydroxychroman-3- ylmethyl)benzoic acid (prepared in Example 1) in 10 ml absolute ethyl alcohol was added a solution of 1 .290 gm (5.88 mmol) (-)-c/s-N-benzyl-2-(hydroxymethyl)- cyclohexylamine in 9 ml ethyl alcohol. The resulting suspension was heated at reflux for 1 hour, cooled to room temperature, stirred for 1 hour and filtered. The resulting off- white solids (1.996 gm) were suspended in 20 ml absolute ethyl alcohol and heated at reflux for 3 hours followed by cooling to room temperature and stirring for an additional hour. Filtration yielded 1.295 gm of light gray solids which were again suspended in refluxing ethanol (15 ml) for 2 hours. After cooling the suspension was filtered to give 1.065 gm (63.2% of the available enantiomer) off-white solids, m.p. 216 - 218° C, [σ]D = +42.7° (c = 0.309, methanol). EXAMPLE 3
(3R-c/s)-3-(4.6-Dihydroxychroman-3-ylmethyl)benzoic acid A suspension of 1.061 gm (2.042 mmol) of the enantiomeric salt, prepared in Example 2, in water was adjusted to Ph 1 with 10% HCI and transferred to a separatory funnel charged with ethyl acetate. The organic layer was washed with twice with 1 N HCI, once with water and once with brine and thendried over Na2S04. Concentration on the rotary evaporator and evacuation under high vacuum yielded 0.604 gm of the title compound as a white foam, m.p. 85-95°C, [σ]D -= + 100° (c = 0.475, tetrahydrofuran).
