5-Methyl-2-pyridone (250 g), potassium carbonate (380 g), bromobenzene (468 g), 250 mL of 1-butanol and copper (I) iodide (43.8 g) are placed under nitrogen atmosphere in a 2 L glass reactor equipped with a mechanical stirrer and reflux condenser. The mixture is heated to a temperature of about 122-128 C. for about 24 hours, then cooled down to about 65-70 C. Toluene (625 mL), demineralized water (875 g) and NH4OH 30%-33% (138 mL) are added, while maintaining the temperature at about 60-70 C. After about 15-20 minutes, the aqueous phase is discarded and the organic phase is washed 3 times with a solution of NaCl (12.5 g) in demineralized water (250 mL) and with NH4OH 30% to 33% (28 mL). The organic phase is then concentrated under vacuum at an internal temperature of about 50-70 C. to dryness. (0068) The residue is then triturated with isopropanol to remove all toluene still present, then dissolved in isopropanol (250 mL) at a temperature of about 65 to about 70 C. The obtained solution is cooled down to 50-55 C., heated again until complete dissolution and then cooled within about 4 hours down to -10 C. The mixture is kept at these conditions for at least 30 minutes, then the resulting solid is filtered and washed with isopropanol (125 mL), previously cooled down to about -5/-10 C. About 280 g of a wet product is obtained, which once dried in a vacuum oven at 50 C. for about 12 to 20 hours provides 263 g of pirfenidone as crystalline solid. Yield 62%. |

With potassium carbonate;copper(I) oxide; In N,N-dimethyl-formamide; at 125℃; for 20h; |
5-Methyl-2-pyridone (1.0 equivalents), potassium carbonate (1.2 equivalents), copper(I) oxide (0.05 equivalents), bromobenzene (1.8 equivalents, with a purity of at least 98%, preferably at least 99%, or at least 99.8%), and dimethyl formamide (2.0 volume equivalents) were charged into an inert reactor. This mixture was heated to 1250C for about 18 hours. A sample was collected and analyzed for reaction completion. If reaction completion was not satisfactory, the reaction was maintained at 1250C for an additional 2 hours. The reaction mixture was then cooled to 250C to form a slurry.[0054] The resulting slurry was filtered in a Nutsche filter in order to remove salts. The filter cake was rinsed twice with toluene. The mother liquor and process liquor were collected in Vessel (A). A sodium chloride solution (15%) was charged into the product solution. The pH was adjusted to greater than or equal to 11.5 using a 32% sodium hydroxide solution. The mixture was then agitated. After agitation was stopped, the mixture was allowed to settle for at least 30 minutes to allow the two phases to separate. The organic layer was separated and the aqueous layer was extracted with toluene. The toluene extraction was added to the organic layer. The combined organics were then washed with a 15% sodium chloride solution and agitated for at least 15 minutes. The agitation was stopped and the layers were allowed to settle for at least 30 minutes. The organic layer was separated from the aqueous layer, and then carbon treated by flowing it through Zeta Carbon filters for 2 hours at 20-250C. The carbon treated solution was then concentrated under vacuum to remove all water and much of the toluene.[0055] Heptanes were then added to the concentrated solution, and it was heated to about 8O0C. The solution was slowly cooled to about O0C over at least 7 hours. The pirfenidone precipitated out of the solution, was collected by filtration and dried, using a Nutsche filter/drier. The pirfenidone cake was washed twice with a mixture of toluene and heptanes (at O0C), then vacuum dried at a temperature of about 420C. The crude pirfenidone was formed in about 85% yield.Crystallization of Pirfenidone[0056] Pirfenidone, a 32% hydrochloride solution, and deionized water were charged in an inert reactor. The mixture was heated to about 450C, then a 32% sodium hydroxide solution was titrated into the mixture until the pH was at least 11. The temperature of the mixture was maintained at about 450C during the titration. Upon reaching the pH of at least 11, the Attorney Docket: 30481/30033 A mixture was then cooled slowly to 50C, over the course of at least 2 hours. The pirfenidone crystallized from this cooled solution and was isolated in a Nutsche filter/drier. The pirfenidone cake was washed twice with deionized water (at 50C). The pirfenidone was then vacuum dried in the filter/drier at a temperature of about 450C. The pirfenidone was also milled through a loop mill in order to reduce the particle size to less than 150 mum.[0057] The resulting pirfenidone was then analyzed and the only residual solvents observed were toluene and heptanes at about 10 to 13 ppm. No ethyl acetate or butanol was detected in the pirfenidone. The amount of bis-conjugate in the purified pirfenidone was 0.03% or less. All impurities of the purified pirfenidone were less than about 0.05%. |
