New Disulfide Route to 3-(1-Piperazinyl)-1,2-benzisothiazole. Nucleus for Atypical Antipsychotic Drugs
摘要:
A new, one-step commercial process for the preparation of 3-(1-piperazinyl)-1,2-benzisothiazole hydrochloride, a key intermediate for the syntheses of some new "atypical antipsychotic" drugs, was developed. Reaction of bis(2-cyanophenyl) disulfide with excess piperazine at 120-140 degrees C for 3-24 h in the presence of small amounts of DMSO and 2-propanol formed 3-(1-piperazinyl)-1,2-benzisothiazole in 75-80% yields. The DMSO oxidized the liberated 2-mercaptobenzonitrile to regenerate bis(2-cyanophenyl) disulfide, thereby enabling the utilization of both halves of the symmetrical disulfide to generate product. The reaction mechanism for the conversion of the bis(2-cyanophenyl) disulfide to 3-amino-1,2-benzisothiazole involves the formation of ring opened sulfenamide and benzamidine intermediates and then their subsequent ring closure to regenerate the 1,2-benzisothiazole nucleus. A safe, efficient, and robust process to prepare 3-(1-piperazinyl)-1,2-benzisothiazole under very concentrated reaction conditions was developed and successfully scaled up in the pilot plant to support the development of ziprasidone.
The present invention relates to a pro-drug of ziprasidone or pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof, processes for its preparation, and pharmaceutical compositions and methods of treatment comprising said pro-drug.
