Liarozole synthesis from Lednicer book 6 (Drugs of the Future citation).

Liarozole fumarate is prepared as shown in Scheme 20970301a. Anisol is reacted with 3-chlorobenzoyl chloride (I) under Friedel-Craft conditions to give (3-chlorophenyl)(4-methoxyphenyl)methanone (II). Nitration of (II) is carried out in dichloromethane at 10 C to yield (III). The methoxy group in (III) is replaced by the amino group by means of NH3 in 2-propanol at 100 C under pressure, giving (IV). By reduction of the keto function of (IV) with sodium borohydride in 2-propanol, the corresponding alcohol (V) is obtained, which upon treatment with 1,1'-carbonyldiimidazole in refluxing dichloromethane yields the imidazolyl compound (VI). Hydrogenation of the nitro group in (VI), followed by cyclization of (VII) in a refluxing mixture of formic acid and 4N hydrochloric acid, gives the benzimidazole derivative (VIII). Finally, the treatment of (VIII) with fumaric acid in ethanol yields liarozole fumarate (IX).

Liarozole is a racemic mixture, i.e. a mixture of its optical isomers, and is specifically mentioned as compound 28 in EP-0,371,559. Said patent application mentions the use of compounds like liarozole in the treatment of epithelial disorders. EP-0,260,744 describes the use of compounds like liarozole for inhibiting or lowering androgen formation. Whereas EP-0,371,559 and EP-0,260,744 recognize that compounds like liarozole have stereochemically isomeric forms, no example of an enantiomerically pure form is given of liarozole.
Chemically liarozole is (±)-5-[3-chlorophenyl]-lH-imidazol-l-ylmethyl]-lH-benz- imidazole, and is represented by formula (I). As can be seen from the chemical structure, liarozole has one stereogenic center (indicated with an asterisk in formula (I)).
The subject of this invention is the enantiomerically pure dextrorotatory isomer or (+)-isomer of liarozole. Said isomer will hereinafter be referred to as (+)-liarozole. Many organic compounds exist in optically active forms, i.e. they have the ability to rotate the plane of plane-polarized light. In describing an optically active compound, the prefixes D and L or R and S are used to denote the absolute configuration of the molecule about its chiral center(s). The prefixes (+) and (-) or d and 1 are employed to designate the sign of rotation of plane-polarized light by the compound, with (-) or 1 meaning that the compound is iaevorotatory and with (+) or d meaning that the compound is dextrorotatory. For a given chemical structure the optically active isomers having an opposite sign of optical rotation are called enantiomers. Said enantiomers are identical except that they are mirror images of one another. A 1: 1 -mixture of such enantiomers is called a racemic mixture.
General preparation of structures including liarozole have been extensively described in EP-0,371,559 and EP-0,260,744.
Enantiomerically pure (+)-liarozole may be prepared by reacting an enantiomerically pure intermediate diamine of formula (B)-(II) with formic acid or a functional derivative thereof.
Said functional derivative of formic acid is meant to comprise the halide, anhydride, amide and ester, including the ortho and imino ester form thereof. Also methanimidamide or an acid addition salt thereof can be used as cyclizing agent.
The general reaction conditions, work-up procedures and conventional isolation techniques for carrying out the above and following reactions are described in the prior art. When more specific conditions are required they are mentioned hereinunder. The enantiomerically pure intermediate diamine of formula (B)-(II) may be prepared by reducing an intermediate of formula (B)-(iπ) by a standard nitro-to-amine reduction reaction.
The desired enantiomer of the intermediate of formula (B)-(]H) can be prepared by fractional crystallization of a racemic mixture of the intermediate of formula (HI) with an enantiomerically pure chiral acid. Preferred chiral acid for the above fractional crystallization is 7,7-dimethyl-2-oxobicyclo[2.2.1]heptane-l-methanesulfonic acid (i.e. 10-camphorsulfonic acid).
Appropriate solvents for carrying out said fractional crystallization are water, ketones, e.g. 2-propane, 2-butanone; alcohols, e.g. methanol, ethanol, 2-propanol. Mixtures of ketones and water are very suitable for the above fractional crystallization. Preferably a mixture of 2-propanone and water is used.
The ratio of water/2-propanone by volume may vary from 1/10 to 1/2. Preferred range of said ratio is 1/5 to 1/3.
The fractional crystallizations are suitably carried out below room temperature, preferably below 5°C.
It was also found that the subsequent reaction step can be carried out without any appreciable racemization.
Alternatively the (+)-isomer of the compound of formula (I) may be prepared by cyclizing an intermediate of formula (B)-(IV) following procedures as described above for the cyclization of intermediates of formula (B)-(II) and desulfurating the thus obtained intermediate of formula (B)-(V). In formulas (B)-(TV) and (B)-(V) R represents Ci^alkyl, wherein Ci-^alkyl means a straight or branch chained saturated hydrocarbon radicals having 1 to 6 carbon atoms such as, for example, methyl, ethyl, propyl, butyl, pentyl, hexyl. Preferably R is methyl.
The intermediates of formula (B)-(IV) may be prepared by reacting an intermediate of formula (B)-(VI) with a reagent of formula (VII), alkylating the thus formed thiourea derivative of formula (B)-(VIII) subsequently cyclizing the intermediate of formula
(B)-(D ), and reducing the nitro group of the intermediate (B)-(X). In the formulas
(Vπ), (B)-(Vm), (B)-(IX) and (B)-(X) R represents Ci^alkyl as defined hereinabove.

(-)-(lR)-7,7-dimethyl- 2-oxo-bicyclo[2.2.1]heptane-l-methanesulfonic acid (353.2 g) was added and the mixture became homogeneous after 10 minutes. The mixture was first stirred for 18 hours at 20°C and then for 3 hours at 0-5°C. The precipitate was filtered off, washed with 2-propanone/water 95/5 (150 ml) and dried, yielding 308.9 g (36.2%) of product A sample (306.7 g) was partitioned between dichloromethane (500 ml) and water (750 ml). Ammonium hydroxide (100 ml) was added. This mixture was stirred for 15 minutes. The aqueous layer was separated and extracted twice with dichloromethane (250 ml each time). The separated organic layer was washed with water (250 ml), dried, filtered and the solvent was evaporated, yielding 179.7 g of (-)-(B)-4-[(3-chlorophenyl)-
