Description: PROCESS FOR THE PREPARATION OF VITRONECTIN RECEPTOR ANTAGONISTS The present invention relates to a process for the preparation of vitronectin receptor antagonists of the formula (I) by linkage of a 9-chloropurine of the formula (IV) to a 4-substituted piperidine and comprises an efficient method for the preparation of compounds of the formula (IV). Inhibitors of cell adhesion and in particular antagonists of the vitronectin receptor are of especial interest in the pharmaceutical industry as they can be used for the treatment of a series of diseases (Hillis et al., Clinical Science 91 (1996) 639; Engleman et al., Ann. Rep. Med. Chem. 31 (1996) 191 ; Samanen et al., Current Pharm. Design 3 (1997) 545). In European patent applications EP 0853084, EP 1065207 (EP 99112636.8) and EP 1065208 (EP 99112637.6), vitronectin receptor antagonists of the formula (I) are described in which V is the radicals of the formulae (II) or (III). Compounds of the formula (I) in which V is a radical of the formula (II) are designated below as compounds of the formula (l-A). Compounds of the formula (I) in which V is a radical of the formula (111) are designated below as compounds of the formula (l-B). Known processes for the preparation of compounds of the formula (I) are based on the preparation of a suitable 9-substituted purine derivative having a nucleophilically substitutable leaving group in the 6-position, for example of a 6-chloropurine derivative of the formula (IV), which is converted into a compound of the formula (I) in several steps by reaction with a 4-substituted piperidine derivative. The compounds of the formula (IV) needed are prepared in only low yields by alkylation in the 9-position of the purine structure via a Mitsunobu reaction and require laborious chromatographic purifications (EP 1065207 (EP 99112636.8)). The process is therefore not suitable for syntheses on a relatively large scale. It is an object of the present invention to find a more efficient process for the synthesis of compounds of the formula (I). The object is achieved by a novel process for the preparation of compounds of the formula (I) comprising an efficient method for the synthesis of compounds of the formula (IV) and a process based on this for the preparation of compounds of the formula (I). One subject of the invention is thus a process for the preparation of a compound of the formula (IV), which comprises first reacting the 5-nitropyrimidine of the formula (V) by a method known to the person skilled in the art (see source literature in March, Advanced Organic Chemistry, Fourth Edition, John Wiley & Sons, 1992; or Kelley, J. Med. Chem. 33 (1990) 196) with a primary amine of the formula (VI) to give a compound of the formula (VII), (V) (VI) (VII) the reaction preferably being carried out in a suitable organic solvent, for example ethanol, isopropanol, butanol, DCM, CHCI3, THF, diethyl ether, n-heptane, n-hexane, n-pentane, cyclohexane, diisopropyl ether, methyl tert-butyl ether, acetonitrile, DMF, DMSO, dioxane, toluene, benzene, EA, or a mixture of two or more of these solvents, preferably in THF, if appropriate with addition of a base such as butyllithium, LDA, sodium hydride, sodium amide, potassium tert-butoxide, CaCθ3, S2CO3, TEA, DIPEA, complex bases (sodium amide-R 12 ONa, where R 12 is (C2-Cg)-alkyl or CH3CH2OCH2CH2), it also being possible for an excess of (VI) to serve as base. The reaction is in general carried out at temperatures from -20 to 150°C, preferably at temperatures from -20 to 100°C. In a subsequent step, the compound of the formula (VII) is reduced by a process known to the person skilled in the art (March, Advanced Organic Chemistry, Fourth Edition, John Wiley & Sons, 1992; R. C. Larock, Comprehensive Organic Transformations, VCH, Weinheim, 1989) to give a compound of the formula (VIII), (VII) (VIII) for example by catalytic hydrogenation by means of Raney nickel or palladium or by reduction using SπCl2. The catalytic hydrogenation is optionally carried out in a suitable organic solvent, such as ethanol; methanol, acetic acid, THF, diethyl ether, n-heptane, n-hexane, n-pentane, cyclohexane, diisopropyl ether, methyl tert-butyl ether, dioxane, EA or in a mixture of two or more of these solvents, preferably in ethanol or methanol, for example at temperatures from 0 to 100°C and at hydrogen pressures from 1 to 10 bar. The reaction with SnCl2 is preferably carried out in a suitable organic solvent such as ethanol, methanol, DCM, CHCI 3 , THF, diethyl ether, n-heptane, n-hexane, n-pentane, cyclohexane, diisopropyl ether, methyl tert-butyl ether, acetonitrile, DMF, DMSO, N-methylpyrrolidone, dioxane, toluene, benzene, EA or in a mixture of two or more of these solvents, preferably in ethanol, for example at temperatures from 0 to 100°C, preferably from 50 to 100°C. In a further step, the compound of the formula (VIII) is cyclized by a method known to the person skilled in the art (March, Advanced Organic Chemistry, Fourth Edition, John Wiley & Sons, 1992; or Kelley, J. Med. Chem. 33 (1990) 196) by means of a Oj unit to give a compound of the formula (IV), (VIII) (IV) where the C-| unit is, for example, a formic acid derivative, preferably a tri-(C-ι -Chalky! orthoformate, particularly preferably triethyl orthoformate, and where the reaction is optionally carried out in the presence of an acid, such as an alkylsulfonic or arylsulfonic acid, trifluoroacetic acid, trichloroacetic acid, dichloroacetic acid, an acidic ion exchanger, HCI, preferably ethanesulfonic acid, and where furthermore the reaction is optionally carried out in a suitable organic solvent such as THF, diethyl ether, n-heptane, n-hexane, n-pentane, cyclohexane, diisopropyl ether, methyl tert- butyl ether, acetonitrile, DMF, DMSO, NMP, dioxane, toluene, benzene, EA or a mixture of two or more of these solvents.

The alkyl radicals occurring in the substituents can be straight-chain or branched, saturated or mono- or polyunsaturated. This also applies if they carry substituents or occur as substituents of other radicals, for example in alkoxy, alkoxycarbonyl or arylalkyl. The same applies to alkanediyl radicals. Unsaturated alkyl radicals and alkanediyl radicals are, for example, alkenyl, alkenylene, alkynyl and alkynylene radicals. Examples of alkenyl radicals are vinyl, 1- propenyl, allyl, butenyl, 3-methyl-2-butenyl, examples of alkynyl radicals are ethynyl, 1-propynyl or propargyl.

Monocyclic cycloalkyl radicals are, in particular, cyclopropyl, cyclobutyl, cyclopentyl, cyclohexyl, cycloheptyl and cyclooctyl, which, however, can also be substituted by, for example, (C1-C4)- alkyl. 4-Methylcyclohexyl and 2,3-dimethylcyclopentyl may be mentioned as examples of substituted cycloalkyl radicals. Bicyclic and tricyclic cycloalkyl radicals can be unsubstituted or can be substituted in any desired suitable positions, for example by one or more oxo groups and/or one or more identical or different (C-j-C4)-alkyl groups, such as methyl or isopropyl groups, preferably methyl groups. The free bond of the bicyclic or tricyclic radical can be situated in any desired position of the molecule; the radical can thus be bonded via a bridgehead atom or an atom in a bridge. The free bond can also be situated in any desired stereochemical position, for example in an exo or an endo position. Examples of parent structures of bicyclic ring systems are norbomane (= bicyclo[2.2.1]heptane), bicyclo[2.2.2]octane and bicyclo[3.2.1]octane. An example of a parent bicyclic system substituted by an oxo group is camphor (= 1 ,7,7-trimethyl- 2-oxobicyclo[2.2.1]heptane).

Aryl and arylene groups can furthermore be monocyclic or polycyclic heteroaromatic ring systems, in which 1 , 2, 3, 4 or 5 carbon atoms can be replaced by heteroatoms from the group consisting of N, 0 and S, such as 2-pyridyl, 3-pyridyl, 4-pyridyl, pyrrolyl, furyl, thienyl, imidazolyl, pyrazolyl, oxazolyl, isoxazolyl, thiazolyl, isothiazolyl, tetrazolyl, pyridyl, pyrazinyl, pyrimidinyl, indolyl, isoindolyl, indazolyl, phthalazinyl, quinolyl, isoquinolyi, quinoxalinyl, quinazolinyl, cinnolinyl, β-carbolinyl, or a benzo- fused, cyclopenta-fused, cyclohexa-fused or cyclohepta-fused derivative of these radicals such as benzoxazolyl, benzothiazolyl or benzimidazolyl. These heterocycles can be substituted by the same substituents as the abovementioned carbocyclic aryl systems. Among these heteroaryl groups and the corresponding heteroaryleπe groups, monocyclic or bicyclic aromatic ring systems having 1 , 2 or 3 heteroatoms from the group consisting of N, O, S, which can be substituted by 1 , 2 or 3 substituents from the group consisting of (C-j-CβJ-alkyl, (C-j-CgJ-alkoxy, F, CI, NO2, NH2, CF3, hydroxyl, (C-j-C4)-alkoxycarbonyl, phenyl, phenoxy, benzyloxy and benzyl, are preferred.

(XIII) (IX-A) Advantageously, when using the benzyloxycarbonyl protective group the hydrogenation of the compound of the formula (XII) and the removal of the protective group to give the compound of the formula (IX-A) can be carried out simultaneously. Alternatively, a compound (XIII) is obtained by reacting a compound of the formula (X) with 2-amino-1 ,4,5,6-tetrahydropyrimidine (XIV), where PG and L are as defined above. Bases and solvents which may optionally be added are those mentioned for the reaction of the compounds (X) and (XI).
