Problems solved by technology

Drawbacks of the above processes include rather complicated manufacture of the optically active amine and the necessity of delicate choice of reaction conditions during many steps, in order to avoid racemization of optically pure intermediates.
In case racemization, even a partial one, occurs, any method for processing the product is totally missing.

example 1

[0015]To 200 ml methanol, 20 g racemic tamsulosin I are added. The resulting mixture is heated to ebullition. After the solids are dissolved, the solution is filtered with activated carbon. To the filtrtate, 11.5 g (1R)-(−)-camphor-10-sulfonic acid are added and the mixture is agitated until crystals precipitate. The precipitated crystal is sucked off and washed with methanol. Thereafter it is dissolved in boiling methanol, filtered with activated carbon. The precipitated product is filtered off. This operation is repeated three times. The obtained product is dissolved in methanol and alkalified with aqueous ammonia. The precipitated R-(−)-tamsulosin is sucked off, washed with water and dried at 60° C. The described process gives 1.9 g of (R)-(−)-tamsulosin of formula Ia, having an optical purity of 99.1% (as determined by capillary electrophoresis).

example 2

[0016]To 400 ml methanol, 20 g racemic tamsulosin I are added. The resulting mixture is heated to ebullition, after dissolution of the solids the solution is filtered with activated carbon. To the filtrate, a solution of 11.5 g (1S)-(+)-camphor-10-sulfonic acid in methanol is added and the mixture is agitated until crystals precipitate. The precipitated crystal is sucked off, washed with methanol and dried. The described process gives a salt, containing 55% of (S)-(+)-tamsulosin Ib.

example 3

[0017]2 g of a salt of (1S)-(+)-camphor-10-sulfonic acid with tamsulosin, containing 90% of (S)-(+)-tamsulosin Ib, are dissolved in 50 ml boiling water. Filtration with activated carbon, cooling down a crystallizing gives 1.3 g of a salt, containing 91.5% of (S)-(+)-tamsulosin.

Abstract

A process for preparing optically pure enantiomers of R-(-)tamsulosin of formiula Ia and S-(+)tamsulosin of formula Ib by resolving racemic tamsulosin of formula I by means of (IR)-(-)-camphor-10-sulfonic acid and (1S)-(+)-camphor-10-sulfonic acid, resp., in an environment of organic solvents, water or mixtures thereof. ##STR00001##

Description

TECHNICAL FIELD[0001]The invention relates to a new process for preparing optically pure enantiomers of (R)-5-(2-((2-(2-ethoxyphenoxy)-ethyl)amino)propyl)-2-methoxybenzenesulfonamide [R-(−)-tamsulosin] of formula Ia and (S)-5-(2-((2-(2-ethoxyphenoxy)ethyl)amino)propyl)-2-methoxybenzenesulfonamide [S-(+)-tamsulosin] of formula Ib. R-(−)-tamsulosin show hypotensive activity and is used for the treatment of various diseases such as benign prostatic hypertrophy. BACKGROUND ART[0002]Up to date, no study has been described that would deal with preparation of the optically active R-(−)-tamsulosin (IB) and S-(+)-tamsulosin (Ib) by resolving the racemic tamsulosin of formula I. [0003]A first study, dealing with synthesis of racemic tamsulosin I only, is U.S. Pat. No. 4,703,063. Other consequential studies start from the optically active amine of formula II, followed by its conversion into the optically active R isomer Ia. This concept is used in, e.g., EP 380 144, or EP 257 787. Preparation ...
