Pramipexole is a dopamine D2 subfamily receptor agonist that is used for the treatment of Parkinson’s disease. We report here on the successful application of the Fukuyama alkylation protocol to the development of a novel and scalable process for synthesis of pramipexole and its pharmaceutically acceptable salts. The synthesis consists of converting the crucial intermediate (S)-2,6-diamino-4,5,6,7-tetrahydrobenzothiazole to (6S)-N-(2-amino-4,5,6,7-tetrahydrobenzothiazole-6-yl)-2-nitrobenzenesulfonamide, which is in turn monoalkylated to (6S)-N-(2-amino-4,5,6,7-tetrahydrobenzothiazole-6-yl)-2-nitro-N-propylbenzenesulfonamide. Deprotection of the latter yields pramipexole base, which is finally converted to a crude pramipexole dihydrochloride monohydrate with a yield of over 50% over four steps. The process allows for the telescoping of the final three steps, has high conversion rates of intermediates, offers ease of purification, and preserves high optical purity throughout all of the stages.

Abstract |
Pramipexole is a novel nonergot dopamine agonist which has high selectivity for interacting with dopamine D2 receptors. It is effective in early Parkinson,s disease as monotherapy and as adjunctive therapy with L-dopa in advanced stages of the disease. Known, two-steps method for preparation of pramipexole (3) is based on acylation reaction of diamine 1 with propionic anhydride. The obtained amide 2 is subsequently reduced using borane to give final product 3 with 65% yield. Now, we present novel, more economic and safe procedure for obtaining pramipexole. Our one-step method requires only alkylation of 1 using n-propyl tosylate. Dangerous reduction with borane is eliminated and the final compound is obtained with similar yield as in a previous method. |

Pramipexole, of formula (A)
is a dopaminergic agonist, known from U.S. Pat. No. 4,843,086, used in the treatment of Parkinson’s disease in the form of dihydrochloride monohydrate.
US 2002/0103240 discloses inter alia a method for the resolution or the enrichment of (R,S)-2-amino-6-propylamino-4,5,6,7-tetrahydrobenzothiazole in the single (R) or (S) enantiomers, in particular in the (S) enantiomer. The same application illustrates in detail the synthetic routes known for the preparation of pramipexole, in particular those described in U.S. Pat. No. 4,886,812, EP 186087, EP 207696 and J. Med. Chem. 30. 494 (1987). From what reported it is evident that the synthetic pathways up to now available make use of synthetic steps that do not fulfill the requirements for the production of pramipexole on the industrial scale. Therefore there is the need for an improved process, which is simpler, easier to carry out and meets the requirements for the industrial production of pramipexole.

Stirring is interrupted and the two phases are separated. The organic phase are washed, concentrated to a residue and dissolved in 420 ml of ethyl acetate.
The solution is concentrated under vacuum at a temperature below 50° C. to about 150 ml volume. The resulting suspension is refluxed, then cooled to about 10-15° C., stirred for further 1-2 hours, then filtered with suction and the precipitate is washed twice with 30 ml of ethyl acetate. The product is dried under vacuum at 40° C. 32 g of (S)-2-amino-6-propylamino-4,5,6,7-tetrahydrobenzothiazole are obtained.

PATENT
http://www.google.com/patents/WO2008041240A1?cl=en
(S)-2-amino-6-propylaminio-4,5,6,7- tetrahydrobenzothiazole of formula (I), which is more commonly known as Pramipexole. Pramipexole is the commercial product marketed, in a form of a dihydrochloride salt in a peroral formulation, under several brand names e.g. Mirapexin[TM].
The compound of formula (I) has one symmetric carbon and they may exist either as a single enantiomer or in a mixed or racemic form. The pharmacological activity of compounds of formula (I) is generally connected only or mainly with one isomer thereof. Accordingly, the dopaminergic activity of the (S) isomer is twice as high as that of the (R) enantiomer.
A general process for the preparation of Pramipexole dihydrochloride has been described in US 4886812, EP 186087 and EP 207696. The process comprises the protection of amino function of 4-aminocyclohexanol to give the intermediate compound wherein, Rl is acyl or alkoxycarbonyl and R2 is hydrogen or Rl and R2 together form an amino protective group such as pthalimido group which on oxidation with an oxidising agent, followed by halogenation (preferably bromination) of protected ketone to give alpha halogenatedketone which on reaction with thiourea, followed by deprotection yielded the racemic 2,6-diaminotetrahydrobenzothiazole. Reductive alkylation of diaminotetrahydrobenzothiazole with n-propanal furnished the racemic pramipexole. Although the (S) isomer of pramipexole is mentioned therein, it is not clear at what stage the chiral resolution has been carried out. The general process steps are indicated in Scheme- Ia below.

Another process for preparing optically pure pramipexole dihydrochloride was disclosed in J. Med. Chem. 1987, 30, 494-498, wherein, racemic 2,6-diamino-4,5,6,7- tetrahydrobenzo- thiazole was resolved, using L (+) tartaric acid to give optically pure (S)-2,6-diamino-4,5,6,7-tetrahydrobenzothiazole, which was converted to optically pure pramipexole by reacting (S)- 2,6-diamino-4,5,6,7-tetrahydro benzothiazole with propionic anhydride in THF and followed by reduction with borane THF complex . The reaction steps are shown in Scheme-lb as under:

However, the variants of the above general process prepare only racemate.
Thus, the synthesis of pramipexole by the above process yields R,S(±)-2~amino-6- propylamino-4,5,6,7-tetrahydrobenzothiazole. The above-mentioned acknowledge that the produced racemic compound may be resolved into single enantiomers by classical methods such as chromatography on a chiral phase or fractional crystallization of a salt with an optically active acid. However, even though the S(-)-enantiomer of pramipexole was disclosed and characterized therein, no information is provided how it was prepared; i.e. whether it was prepared by a resolution of racemic pramipexole of form some optically active precursor. Further, no information is provided on how to produce the S(-)- enantiomer of pramipexole.
WO 2006/003677 Al discloses the improved process the preparation of biologically active tetrahydrobenzothiazole derivative. The patent application discloses the process that has tried to solve the problems of prior art. However, much improvement over the prior art process has still been achieved. Moreover, the process discloses the formation of 2,6-diamino-4,5,6,7-tetrahydrobenzothiazole via an isolated bromo intermediate, which on reaction with thiourea gets converted to tetrahydrobenzothiazole. The isolation of bromo intermediate can also be avoided. The halogenation of the protected cyclohexanone derivative is performed in presence of Lewis acid catalysts like AICI3, ZnCl2 or SnCl2 etc. which will give aluminous waste though increase the yield during the halognation reaction. Moreover, the overall steps of the reaction will increase by performing isolation and work up for bromo intermediate.
US 6,727,637 B2 discloses the monobasic acid addition salts and the mixed salts of 2-amino-6-propylamino-4,5,6,7-tetrahydrobenzothiazole wherein the monobasic acid includes hydrochloric, hydrobromic, hydroiodic, nitric, benzoic, acetic, methane sulfonic, ethane sulfonic, trifluromethane sulfonic, benzene sulfonic, and p- toluene sulfonic acids. Further the patent US ‘637 B2 discloses the formation of mixed salts like of 2-amino-6-propylamino-4,5,6,7-tetrahydrobenzothiazole monohydrochloride monotartrate, of 2-amino-6-propylamino -4,5,6,7- tetrahydrobenzothiazole monohydrobromide monotartrate or of 2-amino-6- propylamino-4,5,6,7-tetrahydrobenzothiazole. monomethane sulfonate dibenzoyl-D- tartrate. The process as disclosed in US ‘637 B2 converts the racemic pramipexole into monohydrochloride salt of pramipexole which is then resolved with a optically active auxilliary acid to give mixed salt like of 2-amino-6-propylamino-4,5,6,7-tetrahydro- benzothiazole monohydrochloride monotartrate which is then converted to (S)- pramipexole free base and then to the desired pharmaceutically active ingredient (S)- pramipexole dihydrochloride.
US 6,770,761 B2 also discloses the process for preparation of 2-amino-6(alkyl)- amino-4,5,6,7-tetrahydrobenzothiazoles which includes the bromination of 1,4- cyclohexadione by bromine in an alcoholic solvent, followed by treatment of the reaction mixture with thiourea or N-acylthiourea and isolation of compound (A), that is further treated with an amine R1-NH2 or a chiral amine to get an imine intermediate and reducing it by reaction with said reducing agent or by hydrogenation, to yield the compound of formula (B)
(A) (B) Polymorphism is the occurrence of different crystalline forms of a single compound and it is a property of some compounds and complexes. Thus, polymorphs are distinct solids sharing the same molecular formula, yet each polymorph may have distinct physical properties. Therefore, a single compound may give rise to a variety of polymorphic forms where each form has different and distinct physical properties, such as different solubility profiles, different melting point temperatures and/or different x- ray diffraction peaks. Since the solubility of each polymorph may vary, identifying the existence of pharmaceutical polymorphs is essential for providing pharmaceuticals with predicable solubility profiles. It is desirable to investigate all solid-state forms of a drug, including all polymorphic forms, and to determine the stability^ dissolution and flow properties of each polymorphic form. Polymorphic forms of a compound can be distinguished in a laboratory by X-ray diffraction spectroscopy and by other methods such as, infrared spectrometry. For a general review of polymorphs and the pharmaceutical applications of polymorphs see G. M. Wall, Pharm Manuf. 3, 33 (1986); J. K. Haleblian and W. McCrone, J. Pharm. ScL, 58, 911 (1969); and J.

The reaction mixture was stirred for 15 minutes and heated to reflux on a water bath up to 8O0C and was maintained for 5 hours. 0.3236 L of n-propyl bromide was further added in two portions at 8O0C to 82°C and maintained for 5 hours. The isopropanol was removed completely by distillation under vacuum at 550C to 750C. 7.5 L of process water was added into the reaction mass and stirred for 30 minutes. The reaction mixture was cooled to 250C to 350C. 40% sodium hydroxide solution (0.108 Kg in 0.27 L water) was added to adjust the constant pH 10.0 to 10.5 followed by treatment with 5.0 L methylene dichloride twice and separating the organic layer. The organic layer was treated with 5.0 L of process water and stirred for 30 minutes. The separated organic layer was subjected to distillation to remove methylene dichloride under vacuum. 5.0 L of isopropanol was added at 4O0C to 450C and heated up to 6O0C to 650C. Acidic isopropanol 0.440L was added to adjust the pH 7.0 to 7.5 and stirred for 1 hour. The reaction mass was cooled to 250C to 35°C. The product was obtained by centrifuge, washing with 0.5 L of isopropanol and drying at 5O0C to 550C followed by cooling. (Yield: 1.0 Kg)
ExampIe-6: Preparation of Pramipexole dihydrochloride monohydrate
1.0 Kg of crude Pramipexole was added in 5.0 L of ethanol and heated to reflux using water bath at 800C. The reaction mixture was maintained for 1 hour and cooled to 250C to 35°C and stirred for 1 hour. The product was centrifuge and washed with 0.5 L ethanol. The wet cake thus obtained was further treated with 5.0 L of ethanol and heated to reflux using water bath at 8O0C. The reaction mixture was maintained for 1 hour and cooled to 250C to 350C and stirred for 1 hour. The product was centrifuge and washed with 0.5 L ethanol. The wet cake was treated with 5.0 L isopropanol and heated to 6O0C to 65°C using water bath. Acidic isopropanol 0.35 L was added to adjust the pH 1.7 to 2.3 and maintained for 1 hour. The product was centrifuge and washed with 1 L of isopropanol and dried in hot air oven at 5O0C to 550C to give Pramipexole dihydrochloride pure, which is converted to Pramipexole dihydrochloride monohydrate upon cooling the dried material under airflow. (Purity: 99.5% by HPLC and having known individual impurities less than 0.1% and total impurities less than 1.0%.) Example-7.: Preparation of Pramipexole dihydrochloride monohydrate
1.0 Kg of crude Pramipexole was added in 5.0 L of ethanol and heated to reflux using water bath at 8O0C. The reaction mixture was maintained for 1 hour and cooled to 250C to 350C and stirred for 1 hour. The product was centrifuge and washed with 0.5 L ethanol. The wet cake thus obtained was further treated with 5.0 L of ethanol and heated to reflux using water bath at 800C. The reaction mixture was maintained for 1 hour and cooled to 250C to 350C and stirred for 1 hour. The product was centrifuge and washed with 0.5 L ethanol. The wet cake was treated with 5.0 L isopropanol and heated to 600C to 650C using water bath. Isopropanolic HCl (0.35 L) containing water was added to adjust the pH 1.7 to 2.3 and maintained for 1 hour. The product was centrifuge and washed with 1 L of isopropanol and dried at 4O0C to 5O0C to give Pramipexole dihydrochloride monohydrate
