Description

Detailed Description of ~he Invention This invention relates to an improved process for adellosine-5'-carboxamides.
Certain adenosine-5'-carboxamides have been ~ound to possess excellent cardiovascular activity (See German Patent No. 2,034~785). While there are available methods for preparing the compounds, they are generally useful only in small laboratory runs, and in some instances, it is extremely di~icult to obtain the desired compound. `. . ` `

in the presence of an appropriate alcohol.
15It is preferred that the ester or ester salt be suspended in a suitable alcohol such as methanol, ethanol, isopropanolJetc. and the amine is added to the alcohol suspension. The reaction proceeds best at temperatures above 70; however, it is preferred to reflux the reaction r~ 20 for a suitable length of time, ~ ~or at least 16 hours and usually for 16 to 18 hours. It is to be under- `
stood, however, that the reaction can be carried out for periods longer than 18 hours.
The amide is then recovered simply by, for exampleg ~.
concentrating the reaction to dryness and taking the residue .. ~ -

up in a minimum volume of water. The amide can then be recrystallized from water, if desired.
It is preferred to react the ester or ester salt with an excess of the appropriate amine. While an excess of amine is preferred, the ra~io of reactants should be at least 1:1 in the case of the ester plus the amine and at least 1:2 in the case of the ester salt and the amine.
It will be understood by those skilled in the art `- -that the particular amine, in the ester or the alcohol, détermines the final amide. While a number of esters can be used in the process of this invention, it is preerred e~hy J ~ enc~i nC ~ C'~r~'y ``

To this mix-ture was added 35 mi. of allyl amine. The reaction was re-fluxed overn;ght (17-18 hours). The resulting amber colored ` `
solution was concentrated to dryness under pressure. The ~`residue was dissolved in water whereupon a solid rapidly crystallized. The solid was collected on a filter and washed with cold water to yield 23 g. of productJ m.p. 135-137, resolidified at 137 and remelts at 223-224. The product was dissol~ed in boiling water, treated with darco, iltered twice and allowed to crystallize.
