Abstract

A novel and efficient one-pot synthesis of tetrazole ­derivatives such as Irbesartan and its analogues has been described from the primary acid amide derivatives. Thus 2-alkyl-3-[p-(o-amidophenyl)benzyl]-1,3-diazaspiro[4.4]non-1-en-4-one derivatives or 4-[α-(acylamino)cyclopentamidomethyl]-2′-carboxamidobi­phenyl derivatives were treated with tributyltin chloride and sodium azide in o-xylene in the presence of DMF to afford irbesartan and its analogues without generation of nitriles. The synthesis of these new starting materials is also described, and two of the derivatives have been used as new intermediates in the preparation of ­irbesartan.

Key words

primary acid amides - tributyltin chloride - sodium azide - o-xylene - DMF - irbesartan

Thereafter, DMF (13 g, 0.18 mol) was added at 25-30 °C and the stirring continued for 30 min at temperatures below 45 °C. o-Xylene (50 mL) was added followed by 2-(n-butyl)-3-[p-(o-amidophenyl)benzyl]-1,3-diazaspiro[4.4]non-1-en-4-one (4b; 50 g, 0.124 mol).

Thereafter, the reaction mixture was cooled to 25 °C and diluted with CH2Cl2 (200 mL), o-xylene (100 mL) and H2O (100 mL) at the same temperature. HCl acid (13 g, 35%) was added in 15 min at 25 °C and stirring was continued for 1 h at the same temperature. The precipitated solid was filtered and washed with a CH2Cl2 and o-xylene (1:1) mixture.

It was dissolved in EtOH (1090 mL) at reflux temperature to get a cloudy solution and was cooled to 60 °C. Carbon (5 g) and hyflo (10 g) were added and the mixture was again refluxed for 15 min. Thereafter, the temperature was brought down to 60 °C and the mixture was filtered to remove carbon. The filtrate was concentrated to 500-mL volume under reduced pressure at 55-65 °C. The resulting suspension was cooled to 5-10 °C and stirred for 1 h at the same temperature.
