Paragraph 0099-0100, (2021/10/13)
The invention belongs to the field of pharmaceutical chemical engineering, and particularly relates to a IV novel method for synthesizing temozolomide by reacting a nitroimidazole type substrate with methylhydrazine, and the method IV avoids the use of dangerous chemical reagents, and the synthesized intermediate does not generate new impurities. The method is economical, environment-friendly, high in yield and suitable for industrial production.

Three new pathways to the antitumor drug temozolomide (4) have been explored via intermediates 3, 6, and 7. The key intermediate 5-amino-1-(N-methylcarbamoyl)imidazole-4-carboxamide (6) has been successfully converted to 4 in 45% yield by employing sodium nitrite in aqueous tartaric acid at 0-5°C. Compound 6 is prepared from nitrophenyl carbamate 14a and methylamine or directly from 5-aminoimidazole-4-carboxamide (13) and either methyl isocyanate or N-methylcarbamoyl chloride. Temozolomide (4) is also prepared from 8-cyano-3-methylimidazo[5,1-d]-l,2,3,5-tetrazin4(3H)-One (7) by hydrolysis to the hydrochloride salt of 4 in 10 M hydrochloric acid. Compound 7 is prepared from either 5-diazoimidazole-4-carbonitrile (28) and methyl isocyanate or by diazotization of 5-amino-1-(N-methylcarbamoyl)imidazole-4-carbonitrile (25). Attempts to cyclize 5-(3-methyltriazen-1-yl)imidazole-4-carboxamide (3) with phosgene or phosgene equivalents were unsuccessful: only 2-azahypoxanthine (11) was isolated.
