Abstract

The present disclosure provides for processes and intermediates in the large-scale manufacture of the compound of formula (I) or hydrates thereof.

Claims (34)

1. A process for preparing a compound of formula (I) or hydrate thereof:

comprising:

a) contacting an amide solvate of the compound of formula (II):

 with an amine to form an amine salt of the compound of formula (II); and

b) contacting the amine salt with a reagent comprising sodium ions to form the compound of formula (I) or hydrate thereof.

2. The process according to claim 1 , wherein the compound of formula (I) is in the form of a hexahydrate.

3. A process for preparing a compound of formula (VI):

comprising contacting a compound of formula (VII):

with a compound of formula (VIII):

in the presence of a tetra-alkylammonium salt,

wherein:

R 3 and R 4 are each independently C 1-6 alkyl; and

X is halogen;

to form a compound of formula (VI).

4. A process for preparing a compound of formula (I) or hydrate thereof comprising:

(a) contacting a compound of formula (VI):

 wherein R 3 and R 4 are each independently C 1-6 alkyl;

 with acetic acid and water to form the compound of formula (V):

(b) contacting the compound of formula (V) with an amide to form an amide solvate of the compound of formula (II):

(c) contacting the amide solvate of the compound of formula (II) with an amine to form an amine salt of the compound of formula (II); and

(d) contacting the amine salt of the compound of formula (II) with a reagent comprising sodium ions to form the compound of formula (I) or hydrate thereof.

5. The process according to claim 4 , wherein the compound of formula (I) is in the form of a hexahydrate.

6. The process according to claim 1 , wherein the amide component of the amide solvate is N,N-dimethylformamide (DMF).

7. The process according to claim 1 , wherein the amine component of the amine salt of the compound of formula (II) is N(R 40 ) 3 , where each R 40 is independently —H or C 1-12 alkyl, or two R 40 groups together with the nitrogen to which they are attached form a 4 to 6-membered heterocyclic ring and the remaining R 40 is —H or C 1-12 alkyl.

8. The process according to claim 1 , wherein the amine component of the amine salt of the compound of formula (II) is triethylamine.

9. The process according to claim 1 , wherein the reagent comprising sodium ions is sodium 2-ethylhexanoate.

10. The process according to any claim 2 , wherein the amide component of the amide solvate is N,N-dimethylformamide (DMF).

11. The process according to claim 2 , wherein the amine component of the amine salt of the compound of formula (II) is N(R 40 ) 3 , where each R 40 is independently —H or C 1-12 alkyl, or two R 40 groups together with the nitrogen to which they are attached form a 4 to 6-membered heterocyclic ring and the remaining R 40 is —H or C 1-12 alkyl.

12. The process according to claim 2 , wherein the amine component of the amine salt of the compound of formula (II) is triethylamine.

13. The process according to claim 2 , wherein the reagent comprising sodium ions is sodium 2-ethylhexanoate.

14. The process according to any claim 7 , wherein the amide component of the amide solvate is N,N-dimethylformamide (DMF).

15. The process according to claim 7 , wherein the amine component of the amine salt of the compound of formula (II) is N(R 40 ) 3 , where each R 40 is independently —H or C 1-12 alkyl, or two R 40 groups together with the nitrogen to which they are attached form a 4 to 6-membered heterocyclic ring and the remaining R 40 is —H or C 1-12 alkyl.

16. The process according to claim 7 , wherein the amine component of the amine salt of the compound of formula (II) is triethylamine.

17. The process according to claim 7 , wherein the reagent comprising sodium ions is sodium 2-ethylhexanoate.
