Detailed Description of the Invention
The following abbreviations are used in the present invention:
NMP N-Methylpyrrolidone
DMF N,N-Dimethylformamide
TBAB Tetrabutylammonium bromide
Various aspects and embodiments of the present invention are described hereafter.
The term "about," as used herein, refers to any value which lies within the range defined by a number up to ±10% of the value.
The term "ambient temperature," as used herein, refers to a temperature in the range of about 20°C to about 35°C.
The term "substantially free," as used herein, refers to l-[(4-methyl-2- quinazolinyl)methyl]-3-methyl-7-(2-butyn-l-yl)-8-bromoxanthine of Formula II having less than 0.05% of impurities appearing at an RRTs of 1.03, 1.18, and/or 1.47.
In one embodiment of the present invention, the l-[(4-methyl-2- quinazolinyl)methyl]-3-methyl-7-(2-butyn-l-yl)-8-bromoxanthine of Formula II contains 0.02% of the impurity appearing at an RRT of 1.03.
In another embodiment of the present invention, the l-[(4-methyl-2- quinazolinyl)methyl]-3-methyl-7-(2-butyn-l-yl)-8-bromoxanthine of Formula II does not contain any detectable amount of the impurity appearing at an RRT of 1.18.
In yet another embodiment of the present invention, the l-[(4-methyl-2- quinazolinyl)methyl]-3-methyl-7-(2-butyn-l-yl)-8-bromoxanthine of Formula II does not contain any detectable amount of the impurity appearing at an RRT of 1.47.
The 2-chloromethyl-4-methylquinazoline intermediate of Formula III and the 3- methyl-7-(2-butyn-l-yl)-8-bromoxanthine intermediate of Formula IV may be prepared by processes known in the literature, such as that disclosed in U.S. Patent No. 7,407,955. The present inventors have studied the effect of the use of various bases and solvents on the purity of the intermediate of Formula II. On the basis of the several experiments carried out for controlling the formation of the impurities appearing at RRTs of 1.03, 1.18, and 1.47 in the intermediate of Formula II, the present inventors have surprisingly found that the formation of these impurities in the intermediate of Formula II is controlled to pharmaceutically acceptable levels by reacting the intermediate of Formula III with the intermediate of Formula IV in the presence of potassium carbonate and a phase transfer catalyst in N,N-dimethylformamide. The present inventors have further found that the use of a phase transfer catalyst in the preparation of the intermediate of Formula II is advantageous as it controls the formation of these impurities, and in addition to this, it also lowers the reaction temperature and increases the yield of the reaction. Table 1 summarizes the results of the various experiments carried out by the present inventors for controlling the formation of these impurities in the intermediate of Formula II.
Table 1: Experiments carried out for controlling the impurities appearing at relative retention times (RRT) of 1.03, 1.18, and 1.47
Figure imgf000009_0001
As is evident from Experiment 1, Experiment 2, and Experiment 3 provided in Table 1, the preparation of the intermediate of Formula II by the reaction of the intermediate of Formula III with the intermediate of Formula IV in the presence of potassium carbonate and a phase transfer catalyst in Ν,Ν-dimethylformamide controlled the formation of the impurities appearing at RRTs of 1.03, 1.18, and 1.47. However, when the preparation is carried out in the presence of sodium carbonate in N-methylpyrrolidone (Experiment 1), or potassium carbonate in N,N-dimethylformamide in the absence of a phase transfer catalyst (Experiment 2), larger quantities of the impurities appeared at RRTs of 1.03, 1.18, and 1.47. In the process of the present invention, the reaction of the intermediate of Formula
III with the intermediate of Formula IV to obtain the intermediate of Formula II is carried out in the presence of potassium carbonate and a phase transfer catalyst in N,N- dimethylformamide .
The reaction of the intermediate of Formula III with the intermediate of Formula
IV is carried out at a temperature of about 40°C to about 65 °C for about 10 hours to about 30 hours. In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the reaction of the intermediate of Formula III with the intermediate of Formula IV is carried out at a temperature of about 50°C to about 55°C for about 20 hours.
Isolation of the intermediate of Formula II is carried out by concentration, then filtration, followed by drying under reduced pressure at ambient temperature to about 100°C for about 30 minutes to about 20 hours.
The process of the present invention provides the intermediate of Formula II substantially free of the impurities appearing at RRTs of 1.03, 1.18, and/or 1.47.
The conversion of the intermediate of Formula II into linagliptin of Formula I may be carried out by processes known in the literature, such as by the processes disclosed in U.S. Patent Nos. 7,407,955 and 7,820,815; PCT Publication Nos. WO 2013/074817 and WO 2013/098775; and Indian Patent Application No. 2090/CHE/2011.
