• Linezolid is a pharmaceutically active compound useful as an antibacterial agent, e.g. for the treatment of diabetic food infections caused by Gram-positive bacteria. It is represented by the formula (I),
  

  
• [0003]
  The marketed pharmaceutical compositions are a sterile isotonic solution for an i.v. infusion, a tablet for oral administration and an aqueous suspension for oral administration. They are marketed, i.e., under brand name ZYVOX by Pfizer.
• [0004]
  The molecule of linezolid has one asymmetric carbon in the molecule allowing for 2 enantiomers; the marketed compound is the (S)-enantiomer. In the above-marketed compositions, linezolid is present as a free base.
• [0005]
  Hereinunder, the name linezolid will be used as the generic name for N-(3-(3-fluoro-4-(morpholin-4-yl)phenyl)-2-oxooxazolidin-5(S)-ylmethyl)acetamide, unless indicated to the contrary.
• [0006]
  Linezolid was first disclosed in WO 95/07271 ( EP 0717738 , US 5,688,792 ) of the Upjohn Company.
• [0007]
  Various processes for making linezolid are known in the art. In particular, the important ones are these, the final step of which comprises acetylation of an amine precursor of the formula (II) with an acetylhalide or acetic anhydride (see, e.g., WO 2005 099353 ),
  

  
• [0008]
  This amine precursor (II) may be made from various starting materials, e.g.:
  

  1. a) By a reduction of an azide compound of formula (III) by a suitable reductant ( WO2006/091731 , WO 95/07271 , US 5837870 , WO2009/063505 , US 7291614 ),
     
     The starting compound (III) may be made from the corresponding tosylate or chloride of general formula (VII) below ( WO 2005/099353 ).
  2. b) By a decomposition of a phthalimide compound of formula (IV), e.g. by methylamine ( WO95/07271 ) or by hydrazine ( US 5837870 ),
     
     The starting compound (IV) may be made from the same tosylate or chloride as sub a) ( WO2005/099353 ) or by a cyclization of the oxazolidine ring ( WO 99/24393 , WO2006/008754 ).
  3. c) From a sulfonate compound of formula (V),
     
     by treatment with ammonium hydroxide in isopropanol or THF ( WO 95/07271 ) or by treatment with ammonia under enhanced pressure ( WO 97/37980 ).
  4. d) By a reduction of an imine (VI),
     
     wherein R2 is a chlorophenyl, bromophenyl or 2,4,-dichlorophenyl moiety ( WO 2007/116284 ).
• [0009]
  Except of the imine (VI), each of the preceded synthetic approaches is based on a step of converting a starting material of the general formula (VII),
  

  

  wherein L is a suitable leaving group, for instance a halogen or an alkyl-or aryl sulfonyloxy group,
  by a reaction with a nitrogen nucleophile (an azide salt, phthalimide salt, ammonia or ammonium hydroxide), followed, if necessary, by a next step of conversion of the formed reaction intermediate (e.g., compound (III) or compound (IV)) into the amino/compound (II). Apparently, making the starting amine-compound (II) in a good yield and purity is the key aspect of commercial success of any of the above synthetic routes yielding linezolid. However, the known approaches have various drawbacks, for instance serious toxicity and explosion hazard of the azide salts, long reaction times and hazardous agents (hydrazine, methyl amine) in using the phthalimide intermediate, low yields and many side products at the ammonium hydroxide approach, or harsh reaction conditions in reaction with ammonia.

Linezolid [(S)-N-[[3-(3-Fluoro-4-morpholinyl)phenyl]-2-oxo-5-oxazolidinyl]methyl]acetamide] is an antimicrobial agent. Linezolid is an oxazolidinone, having the empirical formula C₁₆H₂₀FN₃O₄ and the following structure (1):

Linezolid (1) is described in The Merck Index (13th edition, Monograph number: 05526, CAS Registry Number: 165800-03-3) as white crystals, with a melting point of 181.5-182.5°. Linezolid (1), as well as a process for its preparation, is disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 5,688,792 (Example 5), European Patent No. 717738, Israeli Patent No. 110,802, Canadian Patent No. 2,168,560, and International Patent Publication WO 95/07271.

U.S. Pat. No. 5,688,792 discloses the antibacterial agent linezolid as well as a process for its preparation. EXAMPLE 5 reports the linezolid produced had a mp of 181.5-182.5°.

There are many other disclosures of processes to prepare linezolid. J. Med. Chem., 39(3), 673-9 (1996) reports the linezolid was, “recrystallized from ethyl acetate and hexanes . . . white crystals, m.p. 181.5-182.5C.” It also sets forth the IR spectrum as “3284, 3092, 1753, 1728, 1649, 1565, 1519, 1447, 1435”.

Tetrahedron Lett., 40(26), 4855 (1999) discloses linezolid and a process to prepare linezolid. However, this document does not set forth the melting point or IR spectrum of the linezolid prepared.

U.S. Pat. No. 5,837,870 (International Publication WO97/37980 of PCT/US97/03458) discloses a process to prepare linezolid. Linezolid is described in EXAMPLE 18, which does not set forth the melting point or IR spectrum of the linezolid prepared.

International Publication WO99/24393 of PCT/US98/20934 discloses a process to prepare linezolid. Linezolid is described in EXAMPLES 8, 9 and 12 which do no set forth the melting point or IR spectrum of the linezolid prepared.

The form of linezolid being used in the clinical trials to support the filing of the NDA is Form II.

Linezolid (1) is marketed in the United States by Pfizer, Inc. as an injection, tablets, and oral suspension under the name ZYVOX®. Its main indications are nosocomial pneumonia, skin and skin-structure infections, and vancomycin-resistant Enterococcus faecium infections.

U.S. Pat. No. 5,688,792 claims linezolid (1) and its use for the treatment of microbial infections. This patent also discloses, but does not claim, the following method of preparation:

This method of preparation was also disclosed in Bricker, et al., J. Med. Chem., 39 673 -679 (1996), where it was stated that the above route avoids the use of phosgene to make the carbamate precursor of the oxazolidinone ring. The authors also disclose that the use of NaN₃ can be avoided by using potassium phthalimide, followed by deblocking of the phthalimide with aqueous methyl amine.

In the above-described synthesis, the intermediate amine, S-N-(4-morpholinyl-3-fluorophenyl)-2-oxo-5-oxazolidinyl-methyl amine (2)

is reacted without isolation with acetic anhydride as an oily product, or in solution, to produce the acetamide, linezolid (1). This is followed by procedures for isolating the linezolid (1) such as those described in U.S. Pat. No. 5,688,792, at col. 15, 11. 22-28 (chromatography and separation of the desired fraction, followed by evaporation and trituration of the product to obtain pure linezolid (1)).

In the above-described syntheses, the intermediate azide R-N-(4-morpholinyl-3-fluorophenyl)-2-oxo-5-oxazolidinyl-methyl azide (3)

is reduced to its corresponding amine, S-N-(4-morpholinyl-3-fluorophenyl)-2-oxo-5-oxazolidinyl-methyl amine (2) in the solvent ethyl acetate by hydrogenation using hydrogen gas and a palladium/carbon catalyst. These reaction conditions lead to the production of an undesirable level of reaction by-products, and, following the acetylation of the intermediate amine (2) to linezolid (1), to undesirably high levels of bis-linezolid (4)

Since 1993, a significant process research and development effort directed towards the large-scale synthesis of oxazolidinone antibacterial agents has been ongoing in both Early Chemical Process Research and Development, and Chemical Process Research and Development at Pharmacia. This work has led to the successful development of the current commercial process to produce Zyvox (linezolid), recently approved by the FDA as an antibacterial. While this synthesis is appropriate for the preparation of linezolid in particular, a more convergent and versatile synthesis was developed for the rapid preparation of numerous other oxazolidinone analogues. Toward this end, economical methods for the large-scale preparation of N-[(2S)-2-(acetyloxy)-3-chloropropyl]acetamide 3 and tert-butyl [(2S)-3-chloro-2-hydroxypropyl]carbamate 27 from commercially available (S)-epichlorohydrin via the common intermediate (2S)-1-amino-3-chloro-2-propanol hydrochloride 2a were developed. Also, general methods for coupling these reagents with N-aryl carbamates to giveN-aryl-5(S)-aminomethyl-2-oxazolidinone derivatives in one step were developed. These reagents and procedures have proven widely applicable in the preparation of a diverse array of oxazolidinone analogues such as 23 and 28 in both process and medicinal chemistry research.

Desfluoro Linezolid

The desfluoro linezolid of the present invention is isolated by a process comprising the following steps; a) combining (5R)-[[3-[4-(4-morpholinyl)phenyl]-2- oxo-5-oxazolidinyl]methyl]azide with an organic solvent, preferably a C₁-C₄ alkyl ester or a C₆ to C₁₂ aromatic hydrocarbon, more preferably toluene or ethylacetate, most preferably toluene, and hydrogen gas in the presence of a catalyst to obtain a reaction mixture containing (5S)-[[3-[4-(4-morpholinyl)phenyl]-2-oxo-5- oxazolidinyl]methyl] amine; b) filtering the reaction mixture to obtain a solution containing (5S)-[[3-[4-(4-morpholinyl)phenyl]-2-oxo-5-oxazolidinyl}methyl]amine; c) adding acetic anhydride to the solution to obtain a precipitate; and d) recovering and drying the precipitate to obtain isolated desfluoro linezolid. Preferably, recovering of the precipitate in step d) is carried out by filtering or decanting. Preferably, the catalyst in step a) is selected from the group consisting of Pd/C, Raney Nickel, and noble metal catalysts, more preferably the catalyst is Pd/C. The isolated desfluoro linezolid of the present invention is useful as a reference marker for linezolid. As such, it may be used in order to detect the desfluoro linezolid impurity in a linezolid sample.

Step 7. Preparation of N-rr(5S)-3-r4-(4-moφholinyl)phenyl1-2-oxo-5- oxazolidinyl]methyl1acetamide (des-fluoro-linezolid). In a IL reactor, 6 g (5R)-[[ 3-(4-morpholinyl)phenyl]-2-oxo-5- oxazolidinyl]methyl]azide were charged with 0.7L toluene followed by 0.6 g Pd/C (10% Pd/C containing 52% water). The system was bubbled with ammonia (gas) during 2 h, and then flushed three times with nitrogen and 3 times with hydrogen. The pressure of hydrogen was set to 1.5 arm. The reaction mixture was stirred at RT and the reaction followed up until completion. The reaction mixture was filtered and the solution was treated with 60 ml acetic anhydride at RT.

Example 1 Preparation of Crystal Form II of Linezolid

Linezolid with better than 99.8% enantiomeric purity, less than 0.2% of the R enantiomer, (1.99 grams) is mixed with ethyl acetate (100 mL). The flask is stoppered and heated to 65° with constant stirring in a temperature controlled oil bath. The linezolid is completely dissolved and the mixture is stirred for an additional 10 minutes. The temperature is maintained at 55° in the flask and one neck of the flask is unstoppered to allow slow evaporation of the solvent. A gentle stream of nitrogen is blown across the open neck to aid in evaporation. Solids spontaneously precipitated from solution and the volume is reduced by about 25% of the initial volume. The flask is sealed and mixed for 90 minutes while maintaining the mixture at 55°. The mixture was then cooled to about 23° while being stirred. The solids are isolated by vacuum filtration using a sintered glass funnel to give linezolid in crystal form. Analysis by powder X-ray diffraction indicates that the solids are linezolid crystal Form II.

Method A

To (S)-5-{[(4-chloro-benzylidene)-amino]-methyl}-3-(3-fluoro-4-morpholin-4-yl- phenyl)-oxazolidin-2-one (129.5g, 31 mmol, 1.0 eq.) is added ethyl acetate (935 mL) and water (935 mL). To the heterogeneous mixture is added 12M aq. HCl (51.58 mL, 620 mmol, 2.0 eq.). Within minutes, the solid went into solution and the reaction mixture is biphasic. After stirring the emulsion at ambient temperature for 2 hours, HPLC assay showed the hydrolysis reaction to be complete (HPLC conditions: YMC 5μ ODS-AM 150 nm X 4.6 nm column, eluting with CH₃CN /water + 0.1% TFA from 20% CH₃CN to 80% CH₃CN in 8 min at 0.5 mL/min, detecting at 254nm, Retention time of (S)-N-[3-(3-fluoro-4-morpholin-4-yl- phenyl)-2-oxo-oxazolidin-5-ylmethyl]-amine is 3.2 min). The phases are separated, the organic layer is discarded, and the aqueous layer is washed with ethyl acetate (500 mL). CH₂Cl₂ (900 mL) is added and the pH is adjusted to 6.7 with ~ 25 mL aq. 50% aq. NaOH. With constant stirring, Ac₂O (58.49 mL, 620 mmol, 2.0 eq.) is added in one portion and the pH dropped to 2. The pH is then readjusted to 6 using 50% aq. NaOH. The pH is adjusted to ca. 7.1 with 50% aq. NaOH and the phases separated. The aqueous phase is extracted with CHiCl₂ (800 mL) and the organics are combined and concentrated to ~1L in volume. Ethyl acetate (IL) is added and the volume is reduced to 1.5 L under vacuum. Another IL of ethyl acetate is added and volume is reduced again to IL under vacuum. The resultant slurry is cooled to 0⁰C and the precipitate collected by vacuum filtration. The resulting solid is washed with ethyl acetate (250 mL). The crude product is dried under vacuum at 50⁰C for 2 hours to give the title compound as Hnezolid crystalline Form I.

Example 4 Trituration (convert linezolid crystalline Form I to linezolid crystalline Form E) The product from Example (89.18 g) is transferred to a 3L round bottom flask equipped with a mechanical stirrer, thermocouple and heating mantel. Ethyl acetate (2.23 L, 15 mL/g) is added and seeded with Linezolid form II crystals and the slurry is heated to ca. 50⁰C. A slight exotherm of 3⁰C is observed. After 30 minutes of heating the form change is observable as the solid is changing to long needles. Stirring is continued for 2 hours at 50⁰C, at which time the contents are cooled to ambient temperature and stirred for an additional 30 minutes. The contents are then cooled to 3⁰C for 1.5 hours, filtered and washed with cold ethyl acetate (300 mL total). The resultant solids are dried under vacuum at 50°C for 18 hours to give Linezolid (78.12 g) Form II by XRD, 99.8 wt%, 99.9% ee.

The polymorphic form obtained by following process disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 5,688,792 is designated as Form I. Figure- 1 depicts the PXRD graph of Form I obtained by following prior art process. [15] Disadvantage of the process disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 5,688,792 is that it involves use of n-butyl lithium. Due to its explosive nature it is difficult to handle at plant scale. Also, the said reaction is carried out at temperature of -78°C, which is difficult to attain during commercial production. Further the intermediate obtained requires purification by column chromatography. Column chromatography is a cumbersome technique and difficult to practice during commercial scale production.

Convergent Green Synthesis of Linezolid (Zyvox)

William R. Perrault, James B. Keeler, William C. Snyder, Christian L. Clark, Michael R. Reeder, Richard J. Imbordino, Rebecca M. Anderson, Nabil Ghazal, Stephen L. Seacrest, and Bruce A. Pearlman. Pfizer, Kalamazoo, MI

Pfizer has developed a novel, convergent, green, second generation synthesis of Linezolid (the active ingredient in ZyvoxTM). The second generation process will replace the launch process after approval by appropriate regulatory agencies and has numerous green chemistry benefits: overall yield is increased by 8%; total waste is reduced by 56%; non-recycled w is eliminated. At current volumes, total waste will be reduced 1.9 million kilograms per year and 1.7 million kg per year non-recyclable waste will be eliminated. The improved process utilizes a highly efficient low dilution convergent synthesis to replace the more dilute linear synthesis utilized in the launch process. The key chlorohydrin imine reagent 1 contains both the chiral center and the key 5-S-aminomethyl moiety of linezolid. In the launch process, S-1-chloro-2,3-propanediol was utilized to install the oxazolidinone functionality. However, this yielded a 5-S-hydroxymethyl group which required activation as the 3-nitrobenzenesulfonate and displacement with excess ammonia to generate the corresponding aminomethyl group of linezolid. The second generation process affords the oxazolidinone imine 3 in the convergent step. The penultimate 5-S-aminomethyl oxazolidinone 4 is then easily formed via hydrolysis with stoichiometric hydrochloric acid. Acylation of this amine with acetic anhydride, utilizing an improved Schotten Baumann reaction, affords high purity linezolid.

• WO 95/07271 , which specifically describes the synthesis of linezolid, namely [(S)-N-[[3-(3-fluoro-4-morpholinyl)phenyl]-2-oxo-5-oxazolidinyl]methyl]acetamide], according to the following scheme:
  

  
• [0003]
  Other synthetic routes for the preparation of linezolid are reported for example in US 6107519 and in Tetrahedron Letters, Vol 37, N° 44, pages 7937-7940, wherein the chiral compound shown below is used instead of glycidyl butyrate as a synthon containing the molecule stereocenter.
  

  
• [0004]
  It should be appreciated that all of the known approaches to the preparation of linezolid make use of chiral synthons for the construction of the stereocenter. These are small molecules characterized by a high cost, therefore they are not suitable for the production of the compound on an industrial scale.
• [0005]
  There is therefore the need for an alternative synthesis which provides oxazolidinone derivatives, linezolid included, from inexpensive starting materials, and which does not require a chiral synthon for the construction of the molecule, so that it can be used for the industrial preparation of such derivatives.
