Embodiment 1

[0092] Preparation of (R)-quinuclidin-3-yl phenethylcarbamate (Compound III), Method A.

[0093] 14 g (86.17 mmol) 1,1′-carbonyldiimidazole was added to a suspension of 10 g (78.51 mmol) 3(R)-quinine alcohol in 150 mL THF at 0° C. under nitrogen atmosphere. The reaction mixture was left under stirring at 0 °C for 4 h until cleared by TLC (CH 2 Cl 2 :MeOH:NH 3 Aq. 9:1:0.1) Complete conversion to (R)-imidazole-1-carboxylic acid 1-azabicyclo[2.2.2]oct-3-yl ester (Compound Ia) was observed. To the obtained solution was added dropwise a mixture of 9.9 mL (78.51 mmol) of 2-phenethylamine and 10.0 mL (78.51 mmol) of triethylamine at 0°C. After 30 minutes at 0 °C, the reaction mixture was allowed to reach room temperature and left to stir overnight under nitrogen atmosphere. The solvent was distilled off in vacuo and the residue was dissolved in 100 mL of dichloromethane and extracted twice with 50 mL of 1N HCl. The aqueous extract was basified to pH 10 with potassium carbonate...

[0096] Preparation of (R)-quinuclidin-3-yl phenethylcarbamate (Compound III), Method B.

[0097] a) Preparation of phenethylurethane (compound IIa).

[0098] At 0° C., 13.9 mL (145 mmol) of ethyl chloroformate was added dropwise to a solution of 14.72 g (145 mmol) of triethylamine and 15.99 g (132 mmol) of 2-phenethylamine in 300 mL of dichloromethane. After stirring the mixture at room temperature for 3 hours, it was washed successively with water, HCl 1M and brine, and evaporated to dryness under reduced pressure. The crude product was obtained as a pale yellow oil (27.77 g) and used in the next step without further purification.

[0103] Preparation of (R)-quinuclidin-3-yl phenethylcarbamate (Compound III), Method B.

[0104] a) Preparation of N-phenethyl-1H-imidazole-1-carboxamide (compound lib).

[0105] 5.0 g (30.8 mmol) of 1,1′-carbonyldiimidazole was added to a solution of 3.13 g (25.8 mmol) of 2-phenethylamine in 70 mL of dichloromethane under a nitrogen atmosphere. After stirring the mixture at room temperature for 3.5 hours, 70 mL of water was added. The aqueous layer was separated, the organic layer was washed with 70 mL of water and evaporated to dryness under reduced pressure. 5.11 g (92%) of N-phenethyl-1H-imidazole-1-carboxamide were obtained as a white solid and used in the next step without further purification.

Abstract

The invention provides a new process for the preparation of solifenacin or a pharmaceutically acceptable acid addition salt thereof, comprising reacting (R)-quinuclidin-3-yl phenethylcarbamate with benzaldehyde in the presence of an acid to obtain a diasteroisomeric mixture (S,R)-((R)-quinuclidin-3-yl)1-phenyl-3,4-dihydroisoquinoline-2(1H)-carboxylate of formula (IV) which can be resolved and the solifenacin or a pharmaceutically acceptable acid addition salt thereof recovered. The invention also provides the new key intermediate (R)-quinuclidin-3-yl phenethylcarbamate involved in the process. Further the invention provides a method for the transformation of (R)-((R)-quinuclidin-3-yl)1-phenyl-3,4-dihydroisoquinoline-2(1H)-carboxylate into a diasteroisomeric mixture (S,R)-((R)-quinuclidin-3-yl)1-phenyl-3,4-dihydroisoquinoline-2(1H)-carboxylate.
