Abstract

L'invention concerne un procédé de préparation d'acide 5-fluoro-2-méthyl-3-nitrobenzoïque et de son ester méthylique par conversion de l'acide 5-fluoro-2-méthylbenzoïque avec de l'acide nitrique fumant et de l'oléum et la conversion subséquente avec du méthanol.The invention relates to a process for preparing 5-fluoro-2-methyl-3-nitrobenzoic acid and its methyl ester by converting 5-fluoro-2-methylbenzoic acid with fuming nitric acid and oleum and subsequent conversion with methanol.

Description

METHOD FOR PREPARATION OF 5-FLUORO-2-METHYL-3-NITROBENZOIC
ACID AND ITS METHYL ESTER
The invention discloses a method for preparation of 5-fluoro-2-methyl-3-nitrobenzoic acid and its methyl ester by conversion of 5-fluoro-2-methylbenzoic acid with fuming nitric acid and oleum and subsequent conversion with methanol.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
Rucaparib, also known as CO-338, is an inhibitor of poly ADP-ribose polymerase (PARP) inhibitor.
Rucaparib
Figure imgf000002_0001
Rucaparib is being developed for the treatment of patients with cancers pre-disposed to PARP inhibitor sensitivity.
Gillmore et al, Org. Process Res. Dev., 2012, 16, 1897-1904, discloses the use of methyl-5- fluoro-2-methyl-3-nitro benzoate for the preparation of Rucaparib. 52% yield of a brown solid is reported for the two steps conversion of 5-fluoro-2-methylbenzoic acid to 5-fluoro-2- methyl-3-nitrobenzoic acid methyl ester by nitration with concentrated sulfuric acid and concentrated nitric acid followed by subsequent esterification.
There was a need for a process that has higher yield and higher purity. It was found that the use of oleum and fuming nitric acid increases the yield. In addition a colorless product is obtained. Also the content of the undesired dinitro derivative is low. The following abbreviations are used, if not otherwise stated:

Feed 3 was used directly in the next step, the esterification.
Step Esterification
