Resolution of Racemic Organic Acids with (1S, 4S)-4[3,4-Dichlorophenyl]-1,2,3,4-Tetrahydro-N-Methyl-1-Naphthaloneamine
The present invention relates to novel chiral resolving agents and a process for resolution of racemic organic acids and their derivatives of the formula (+, −)—R 1 R 2 CHCOOR3 with Cis-(1S,4S)-4[3,4-dichlorophenyl]-1,2,3,4-tetrahydro-N-methyl-1-naphthaloneamine and its Cis-(1R,4R)-isomer as well as Trans-(1S,4R)-4[3,4-dichlorophenyl]-1,2,3,4-tetrahydro-N-methyl-1-naphthaloneamine and its Trans-(1R,4S)-isomer.
1 . A process for the resolution of racemic organic acids and their derivatives of the formula (±) R 1 R 2 CHCOOR 3 with the cis-isomer of 4-[3,4-dichlorophenyl]-1,2,3,4-tetrahydro-N-methyl-l-naphthaloneamine or the trans-isomer of 4-[3,4-dichlorophenyl]-1,2,3,4-tetrahydro-N-methyl-l-naphthaloneamine, wherein
R 1 =R 2 or different or form a cyclic substitution which may be aromatic or non-aromatic, R 1 and R 2 may be H, alkyl, sub-alkyl, aryl, sub-aryl, amino or subamino; R 3 may be H, sub-alkyl or sub-aryl derivative comprising
treating the racemic carboxylic acid with the resolving agent,
isolating the formed diastereomeric salt and
separating the required enantiomer from the diastereomeric salt.
2 . The process as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the cis-isomer of 4-[3,4-dichlorophenyl]-1,2,3,4-tetrahydro-N-methyl-l-naphthaloneamine is cis-(1S, 4S)-4-[3,4-dichlorophenyl]-1,2,3,4-tetrahydro-N-methyl-l-naphthaloneamine or cis-(1R,4R)-4-[3,4-dichlorophenyl]-1,2,3,4-tetrahydro-N-methyl-l-naphthaloneamine.
3 . The process as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the trans-isomer of 4-[3,4-dichlorophenyl]-1,2,3,4-tetrahydro-N-methyl-l-naphthaloneamine is trans-(1S, 4R)-4-[3,4-dichlorophenyl]-1,2,3,4-tetrahydro-N-methyl-l-naphthaloneamine or trans-(1R,4S)-4-[3,4-dichlorophenyl]-1,2,3,4-tetrahydro-N-methyl-l-naphthaloneamine.
4 . The process as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the resolution of the racemic carboxylic acid is carried out in an organic solvents such as ethyl acetate, acetonitrile, or alcohols or in water, preferably in ethyl acetate or isopropyl alcohol.
5 . The process as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the resolution of the racemic carboxylic acid is carried out by using the resolving agent in a ratio of 0.1 to 2.0 mol, preferably 0.5 to 0.9 mole per mole of racemic carboxylic acid.
6 . The process as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the racemic carboxylic acids are indoline carboxylic acids, 2-arylpropionic acids (profens) or amino acids.
7 . The process as claimed in claim 6 , wherein the indoline carboxylic acid is preferably indoline-2-carboxylic acid.
8 . The process as claimed in claim 6 , wherein the 2-arylpropionic acid (profen) is Naproxen.
