Description

SPECIFICATION
NOVEL PRODUCTION INTERMEDIATE AND PROCESS FOR
PRODUCING PYRIDINE DERIVATIVE
This application is a division of Canadian Patent Application Serial Number 2,200,604 filed on September 21, 1995.
TECHNICAL FIELD
This invention relates to novel production intermediates to be used for the production of pyridine derivatives (e.g., anabaseine), which are useful for the treatment of central nervous system diseases such as Alzheimer's disease and Parkinson's disease, and industrial processes for producing the same.
BACKGROUND ART
A pyridine derivative represented by formula (III):
0 ' I
(IZI) anabaseine represented by formula (IV):
~J
(IV) ~iy~
and anabaseine derivatives obtained by using the above-mentioned compound (III) or (IV) as a synthesis intermediate are publicly known compounds described in, for example, Brit.

J. Pharznacol., 18, 543 (1962), Agr. Biol. Chem, 26, 709 (1962), Toxicon, 9, 23 (1971), Amer. Zoologist, 25, 99 (1985), Drug Development Research, 31, 127 (1994) or 31, 135 (1994), International Publication Nos. WO 92/15306 and WO
94/05288. These compounds are useful as a remedy for central nervous system diseases such as Alzheimer's disease and Parkinson's disease.
As processes for producing the pyridine derivatives represented by the formula (III) and their analogous compounds, there have been publicly~known some methods with the use of a sodium alkoxides as a base, for example, (1) a method for producing nicotine by reacting a nicotinate with N-methylpyrrolidone with the use of sodium ethoxide (Ber., 61, 327 (1928)); and (2) another method for producing anabaseine from N-benzoylpiperidone and ethyl nicotinate with the use of sodium ethoxide CChem. Ber., 69, 1082 - 1085 (1936)). However, these methods can achieve only low yields, i.e., 37.5 and 20.5 respectively. In the method [2J, furthermore, the reaction is accompanied by a rapid increase in temperature, which makes it difficult to control the reaction temperature. In this case, moreover, 2-phenyl-3,x,5,6-tetrahydropyridine is formed as a side-product whic:~:
can b~ hardlZ~ eliminated o:~ an industrial scale.
r.cccrdi.ngly, these existing methods are not preferable from an industrial v ie;r,-point .
Subsequently, there have been proposed some methods wherein the sodium alkoxide is replaced by sodium hydride with an elevated basicity to thereby accelerate the progress of the reaction. Examples of these methods include (3) a method for producing nicotinoyl-N-methylpyrrolidone from a nicotinate and N-methylpyrrolidone with the use of sodium hydride (JP-B-39-25048; the term "JP-B" as used herein means an "examined Japanese patent publication"); and (4) a method for producing myosmin from N-vinylpyrrolidone and a nicotinate with the use of sodium hydride (Acta Chem. Scand., 30B, 93 (1976)). Although these methods contribute to the improvement in yield, the industrial application thereof is accompanied by serious problems. That is to say, the sodium hydride employed as a reagent in these methods spontaneously ignites when it comes in contact with air. Also, it catches fire easily in the presence of water. At the reaction, it undergoes vigorous foaming and causes heat generation and evolution of hydrogen gas. Due to these characteristics, it is highly dangerous to use sodium hydride in the synthesis on a large scale. To ensure the security, therefore, specific devices and techniques are required. Moreover, sodium hydride is usually marketed in a state of being dispersed in liquid paraffin in an amount of about 60$. Accordingly, the production process should involve an additional step of completely eliminating the liquid paraffin. Thus, it is to be concluded that the above-mentioned methods with the use of sodium hydride are unsuitable for industrial purposes from an economical viewpoint too.
Examples of other production methods include (5) a method starting from N-nicotinoylpiperidone with the use of calcium oxide (Synth. Commun., 2 (4), 187 - 200 (1972)); (6) a method starting from bromopyridine and cyclopentanone with the use of n-butyllithium (Tetrahedron Lett., 24 (18), 1937 -1940 (1983)); (7) a method wherein bromopyridine is condensed with N-tert-butyloxycarbonylpiperidone with the use of n-butyllithium (J. Org. Chem., 54 (1),~~228 - 234 (1989)); and (8) a method wherein N-trimethylsilylpiperidone is condensed with a nicotinate derivative with the use of lithium diisopropylamide (International Publication WO 92/15306).
However, it has been clarified that these methods also suffer from various problems. Namely, the method (5), wherein the starting material is molten by heating over an open fire in the presence of calcium oxide, is highly dangerous and thus unsuitable as an industrial process. In the methods (6), (7) and (8), on the other hand, the reactions should be perforned at a log temperature (-70~C or below) with the use of n-butyllithium or lithium diisopropylamide. Thus, these methods are not preferable as industrial processes from the ~:iew-points of economics and sefety.
Therefore, it has been urgently required to develop an industrial process by which the pyridine derivatives represented by the formulae (III) and (I~V) can be produced - 4 _ safely, economically, easily and efficiently without using any hazardous reagent.

Although the solvent is usually eliminated from these compounds prior to the use in the step (b), these compounds may be employed in the step (b) as such.
In the step (b) of the above reaction scheme, the compound represented by the formula (V) or (VI) obtained in the step (a) is treated by adding an acid in an appropriate aqueous solvent to thereby give a compound represented by the formula (III) via devinylation, hydrolysis and decarboxyla-tion.

The compound represented by the formula (III) obtained in this step can be isolated in the form of a salt of the acid employed. The compound (III), which has been optionally isolated, is then employed in the step (c).
In the step (c), the compound (III) obtained in the step (b) is treated with a base in an appropriate aqueous solvent to thereby give a compound (IV).
The base to be used in this step is not_particularly limited, so long as it exerts no undesirable effect on the reaction. Examples thereof generally include alkali metal hydroxides such as sodium hydroxide and potassium hydroxide, alkali metal carbonates such as sodium carbonate and potassium carbonate, alkali metal phosphates such as sodium phosphate and potassium phosphate, inorganic bases such as aqueous ammonia and anionic ion exchange resins.

The reaction is performed at 0 to 50°C, preferably at room temperature, though the reaction temperature is not particularly restricted. By regulating the pH value to 9 to 12, the compound (IV) can be obtained.
For the purpose of reference, it is indicated that the compound (IV) obtained in the step (c) can be given in the form of a salt of an acid with the use of the compound (III) by treating with the acid in~an appropriate aqueous solvent as shown by the step (d). As the solvent and acid to be used in this step (d), use can be made of those cited in the step (b). Neither the reaction temperature nor the reaction time is particularly restricted. In general, the reaction is performed at 0 to 100°C, preferably 0 to 50°C, for 1 to 17 hours, preferably 1 to 4 hours.

While heating under reflux, a solution of 31.25 g (250 mmol) of N-vinylpiperidone and 37.75 g (250 mmol) of ethyl nicotinate-in'~tetrahydrofuran (75 ml) was added thereto and the resulting mixture was refluxed for 3 hours. Then, it was cooled to 10°C or below and 175 ml of a saturated aqueous solution of ammonium chloride was added.

Comparative Example 3:
The procedure of Comparative Example 1 was repeated except for replacing the N-benzoyl-2-piperidone employed as the starting material by N-trimethylsilyl{TMS)-2-piperidone.

Comparative Example 5:
Under a nitrogen gas stream, 6.25 g (50 mmol) of N-vinylpiperidone and 27 ml of tetrahydrofuran were introduced into a flask and cooled to -60°C. Then, 32 ml of a solution of n-butyllithium in hexane (1.6 mol/Q) was added dropwise thereto at -50 to -60°C and the resulting mixture was stirred at the same temperature for 20 minutes. To the solution thus obtained was added dropwise 7.55 g (50 mmol) of ethyl nicotinate at -50 to -60°C and the resulting mixture was stirred at the same temperature for 20 minutes. Then, the w ~y r reaction mixture was heated and stirred at room temperature for 5 hours. After the completion of the reaction, 60 ml of a saturated aqueous solution of ammonium chloride was added and the mixture was quenched. After extracting with 70 ml portions of ethyl acetate thrice, the extracts were dried with anhydrous sodium sulfate. Then, the sodium sulfate was filtered off and the filtrate was concentrated under reduced pressure to thereby give 6.8 g of a residue. This residue was subjected to successive treatments by the same methods as described in Example 3 and Reference-Example. Thus, 0.68 g of dihydrochloride of the compound (III) was obtained (yield:
5.4~k) .
Comparative Example 6:
Under a nitrogen gas stream, 3.5 ml (50 mmol) of diisopropylamine and 12 ml of tetrahydrofuran were introduced into a flask and cooled to -30°C. Then, 32 ml of a solution of n-butyllithium in hexane (1.6 mol/Q) was added dropwise thereto at -20 to -30°C and the resulting mixture was stirred at the same temperature for 20 minutes to thereby give a solution of lithium diisopropylamide (LDA). This solution was cooled to -60°C and then a solution of 6.25 (50 mmol) of N-vinylpiperidone in 15 ml of tetrahydrofuran was added dropwise thereto at -50 to -60°C. The resulting mixture was further stirred at this temperature for 20 minutes. The resulting solution was treated in the same manner as described in Comparative Example 5 with.the use of 7.55 (50 a wt mmol) of ethyl nicotinate.
