Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2007094009A1] A process for the preparation of 7-hydroxy-3,4-dihydro carbostyril (II) by intramolecular Fridel-Craft alkylation of N-(3-methoxyphenyl)-3-chloropropionamide (I) in which an equivalent of N-(3-methoxyphenyl)-3-chloropropionamide (I) is contacted with a Lewis acid (e.g. aluminium chloride) in dimethyl acetamide (DMA), at an elevated temperature of from about 120°C to about 160°C, is provided. The process produces 7-hydroxy-3,4- dihydro carbostyril (II) in high yield and a high state of purity such that it may be used in subsequent .reaction towards the preparation of aripiprazole (IV). Thus 7-hydroxy-3,4- dihydro carbostyril (II) was treated with l-bromo-4-chlorobutane under phase transfer catalyst (PTC) conditions using solvents like acetone or n-butanol at temperature ranging 25°C to 45°C to afford 7-(4-chlorobutoxy)-3,4-dihydro carbostyril (III). The PTC conditions described in this patent afford 7-(4-chlorobutoxy)-3,4-dihydro carbostyril (III) in high purity and high yield with the corresponding dimmer formation is considerably low as compared with the other literature methods of preparing 7-(4-chlorobutoxy)-3,4- dihydro carbostyril (III). Compound (III) was treated with l-(2,3-dichlorophenyl)piperazine, at temperature ranging from 50°C to 100°C, and sodium iodide, potassium carbonate, dimethyl formamide (DMF) as a solvent to afford aripiprazole in high purity and high yield.
