Embodiment 1

[0032] Preparation of imidazole acetic acid:

[0033] A 50 L reactor was charged with chloroform (54 kg), imidazole (6.13 kg, 90.04 mol) and tert-butyl chloroacetate (5.48 kg, 36.4 mol). The temperature was raised to 60°C over 2 hours and held at 60°C for an additional 24 hours. The reaction mass was cooled to room temperature. The chloroform phase was washed successively with 4 portions of water (7.2 kg each) to remove the imidazolium salt and excess imidazole.

[0034] Water (15.1 kg) was added and chloroform was removed by distillation using a Dean-Stark trap at a mantle temperature of 60-65°C (the boiling point of the azeotrope is 53°C) to recover the aqueous phase . After removal of the chloroform, the reactor mantle temperature was slowly raised to 115°C, during which time t-butanol and water were co-distilled (the azeotrope boils at 80°C). After removal of the alcohol, the aqueous solution was cooled and drained from the reactor, yielding 17.54 kg of a solution cont...

Embodiment 2

[0036] Separation of imidazole acetic acid:

[0037] Part of the solution in Example 1 (1.13 kg) was rotovaped to obtain a solid slurry (0.38 kg), and acetone (234 g) was added to complete crystallization. The solid was filtered, washed with acetone, and dried with a stream of nitrogen. The evaporator condensate was evaporated again, washed and dried to obtain a second crystalline product; combined with the first crystalline product to obtain imidazole acetic acid (analysis by NMR measurement: 219 g, recovery 91%, purity 98.9 wt%). 1 H NMR (D20): 8.68 (s, 1H); 7.42 (s, 2H); 4.83 (s, 2H); 4.79 (br s, 1H).

Embodiment 3

[0039] Preparation of zoledronic acid:

[0040] A 1.5 liter tank reactor equipped with heating mantle, mechanical stirrer, Dropping funnel, thermocouple and condenser with nitrogen inlet adapter. Phosphorus trichloride (330 g, 2.41 mol) was added slowly to the reaction mass, exothermic and hydrogen chloride was produced. The temperature was allowed to rise to 70°C and the solution was stirred until HCl evolution ceased. The temperature of the reaction mass rose to 85°C and a white solid began to form which floated and stuck to the stirrer shaft. After about 1 hour, stirring was no longer possible and the stirring motor was stopped. The reaction mass was heated at 85°C for 5 hours or more and then cooled to room temperature to form a solid, homogeneous white material.

[0041]Slow addition of water (320ml) to the white mass resulted in an exotherm and formation of HCl. The water slowly dissolves the material in a gradual and uniform manner, eventually freeing the agitator....

Abstract

A manufacturing process for the preparation of bisphosphonic acids and in particular zoledronic acid is provided, wherein diglyme, monoglyme, or a mixture thereof, is utilized to produce a homogenous, water soluble, solid reaction mass that upon cooling, dissolving in water and stripping results in a high purity product and comparatively good yield, wherein R1 is selected from the group composed as follows.

Description

Background of the invention [0001] The present invention relates to the preparation of bisphosphonic acids and pharmacologically active salts thereof, in particular 1-hydroxy-2-(imidazol-1-yl)ethylidene-1,1-diphosphine commonly known as zoledronic acid Improved industrial process for acids. The bisphosphonates described herein are suitable for use in the treatment of diseases of the skeletal system and in conditions when bone formation and / or calcium metabolism have been disturbed, eg in the treatment of bone displacements. [0002] The bisphosphonic acids described herein have the following structures: [0003] [0004] In the formula, M1, M2, M3 and M4 are selected from hydrogen and monovalent cations, and R1 is selected from one of the following: [0005] CH 3 etidronic acid [0006] Zoledronic acid [0007] risedronic acid [0008] minodronic aci...
