Description

PROCESS FOR THE PREPARATION OF UNSYMMETRICALLY SUBSTITUTED BIPHENYL COMPOUNDS
FIELD OF INVENTION
The present invention relates to a process for the preparation of unsymmetrical biaryl compounds of formula I
Figure imgf000002_0001
Formula I
wherein. R is alkyl. R" is a cyano. protected or unprotected tetrazole, or C:^=NR" wherein,
R" is alkyl. aryl.'aralkyl or alkoxy.
In particular the present invention relates to a process for the preparation of unsymmetrical biphenyl compounds of Formula I in which R is methyl and R' is a cyano group.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION Biphenyls are valuable as fine chemicals for liquid crystals and related applications and as precursors for pharmaceutically active compounds. In particular, 2-(4'-methylphenyl) benzonitrile (also known as 4-methyl-2'-cyanobiphenyl) or o-tolylbenzonitrile (referred to herein below as OTBN) which is a precursor of 2-(tetrazolyl)-4' -methyl biphenyl, can be used as an intermediate in the preparation of various angiotensin II antagonists.
A number of coupling approaches have been developed for the construction of the unsymmetrical biphenyl systems. As OTBN and related compounds are very important intermediates, various methods have been reported for the preparation of OTBN. Reported methods include the reaction of organo-boron (Suzuki reaction), zinc (Negishi reaction) or tin (Stille coupling) compounds with bromobenzonitriles. Suzuki coupling involves reaction of aryl-boron compounds with aryl halides in the presence of palladium catalysts. A Grignard reagent can be reacted with an aryl halide in a suitable solvent in the presence of transition metal catalysts like palladium, nickel and manganese.
Tamao et al., in Bull. Chem. Soc. Japan, vol. 49 (1976), pp. 1958-1969, discloses that aryl bromides can be reacted with aryl magnesium halides (aryl Grignard reagents) in the presence of dihalodiphosphinenickel complexes to give biaryl compounds. The most serious limitation mentioned is the said reaction is not suitable for all the substituents, thus excluding those which will react with Grignard reagents.
The unsymmetrical biaryl coupling reactions require a metal catalyst. Generally these catalysts are selected from palladium, nickel or manganese. The palladium catalyzed coupling of an aryl Grignard compound with an iodo-substituted benzonitrile has been described in the art.
US 5288895 discloses a method in which a halobenzonitrile is treated with aryl magnesium halide in the presence of a manganese salt as catalyst. The patent reports very low yields of biaryl compounds.
US 6121480 describes a method for the synthesis of unsymmetrically substituted biphenyls comprising the palladium catalyzed coupling of an aryl magnesium halide with bromobenzonitrile.
US 6407253 discloses a method for preparing the biphenyl compounds by reacting an aryl halide with a Grignard reagent using a palladium complex - PdCl2/dppp in the presence of a linear or branched polyether as solvent. However, the said patent also states that such results could not be obtained when the solvent was replaced by a cyclic diether. US 6392080 discloses a process for the preparation biphenyl compounds by reacting o- halobenzonitrile with a p-tolylmagnesium halide in the presence of MnCl2 / a mixture of 1 mole of MnCb and 2 moles of LiCl and PdCb/dppp complex.
US 6194599 describes a process for preparing the biaryl compounds by reacting an aryl group bonded to zinc with an aryl chloride in the presence of palladium or nickel catalyst.
US 5922898 discloses reaction of aryl magnesium reagents and aryllithium reagents with an aryl halide in the presence of catalysts such as palladium catalysts and nickel catalysts and a cocatalyst is selected from zinc cocatalysts and cadmium cocatalysts.
Tetrahedron Letters, 39(1998), 7275-7278 reports the lower yield (20%) of OTBN when the coupling of p-tolylmagnesium chloride with o-bromobenzonitrile was carried out using dichloro-bis (triphenyl) phosphine palladium without any cocatalyst.
Thus, unsymmetrical biaryl compounds can be prepared by reacting a Grignard reagent with an aryl halide in the presence of transition metal catalysts like palladium catalysts or nickel catalysts in the form of salts or in the form of complexes with ligands with/without any cocatalysts. The reaction is shown schematically below.

The present inventors have observed that, when p-tolylmagnesium bromide was reacted with o-bromobenzonitrile using palladium chloride/triphenyl phosphine as catalyst, only 47% conversion to the product (OTBN) was obtained wherein palladium chloride was used in the concentration of 6 mole% with reference to o-bromobenzonitrile. When palladium acetate/triphenyl phosphine catalyst system was used, the conversion to the product was upto 75% wherein palladium acetate used was in the concentration of 6 mole% with reference to o-bromobenzonitrile.
Thus, the processes for the synthesis of unsymmetrical biaryl compounds using palladium catalysts require higher concentration of the catalyst or require special kind of solvent like polyether when used without any cocatalyst. Cocatalyst like manganous chloride is difficult to handle on commercial scale due to its hygroscopic nature.
Hence, there is a need to develop a more economical, a highly selective and simple method for the synthesis of unsymmetrical biphenyls.
The present inventors have surprisingly found that the compounds of Formula I can be prepared in good yield and better purity by a novel process comprising reaction of a Grignard reagent with an aryl halide in a suitable solvent in the presence of a palladium catalyst and a ligand and a co catalyst selected from Lewis acid like boron trifluoride etherate, perchloric acid or salt of perchloric acid that is inexpensive, safe and easy to handle.
