"PROCESS FOR THE PREPARATION OF NOVEL INDOLIN-2-ONE
COMPOUND"
SANOFI-SYNTHELABO, of 174, Avenue de France, F-75013 Paris, France,
The following specification particularly describes the invention and the manner in which it is to be performed:
The present invention relates to compound in the form of a pure enantiomer or of a mixture of enantiomers of indolin-2-one.
A subject matter of the present invention is novel indolin-2-one derivatives, a process for their preparation and the pharmaceutical compositions comprising them. These novel derivatives are powerful and selective ligands of the oxytocin receptors and can thus be used as an active principle in pharmaceutical compositions, in particular in the obstetric or gynaecological field. Oxytocin (OT) is a hormone excreted by the neurohypophysis with a cyclic nonapeptide structure similar to that of arginine vasopressin (AVP). The oxytocin receptors are essentially found on the smooth muscle of the uterus and on the myoepithelial cells of the mammary glands. Thus, oxytocin plays an important role in parturition since it is involved in the contraction of the uterine muscle and in lactation. Furthermore, oxytocin receptors are also located in other peripheral tissues and in the central nervous system; oxytocin can thus have effects in the cardiovascular, renal, endocrinal or behavioural fields.
Indolin-2-one derivatives have been disclosed in some patent
applications as ligands of the vasopressin receptors and possibly of the
oxytocin receptors; mention may be made of Patent Applications WO
93/15051; EP 636 608, EP 636 609, WO 95/18105,
WO. 97/15556. and WO 98/25901. To date, no indolin-2-one derivative has been disclosed as a powerful and selective ligand of oxytocin receptors.
It has now been found that certain indolin-2-one derivatives are powerful and selective ligands of oxytocin receptors.

The salts of the compounds according to the invention are prepared according .to techniques which are well known to a person skilled in the art. The salts of the compounds of formula (I) according to the present invention comprise those with inorganic or organic acids, which make possible suitable separation or"crystallization of the compounds of formula (I), and pharmaceutically acceptable salts. Mention may be made, as appropriate acid, of: picric acid, oxalic acid or an optically active acid, for' example a tartaric acid, a
dibenzoyltartaric acid, a mandelic acid or a camphorsulphonic acid, and those which form physiologically acceptable salts, such as the hydrochloride, the hydrobromide, the sulphate, the hydrogensulphate, the dihydrogenphosphate, the maleate, the fumarate, the 2-naphthalenesulphonate or the para-toluenesulphonate, the hydrochloride being preferred.
When a compound according to the invention exhibits one or more asymmetric carbons, the optical isomers of this compound form an integral part of the invention. When a compound according to the invention exhibits stereoisomerism, for example of axial-equatorial or Z-E type, the invention comprises all the stereoisomers of this compound.
The present invention comprises the compounds of formula (I) in the form of pure isomers but also in the form of a mixture of isomers in any proportion.
The compounds (I) are isolated in the form of. pure isomers by conventional separating techniques: use may be made, for example, of fractional recrystallizations of a salt of the racemate with an optionally active acid or base, the principle of which is well known, or conventional chromatography -techniques on a chiral or nonchiral phase.
The'compounds of formula (I) above also comprise, those in which one or more hydrogen, carbon o
halogen, in particular iodine, chlorine or fluorine, atoms have been replaced by their radioactive isotope, for example tritium or carbon-14. Such labelled compounds are of use in research, metabolic or pharmacokinetic studies or in biochemical assays as receptor ligand.
The functional groups possibly present in the molecule of the compounds of formula (I) and in the reaction intermediates can be protected, either in permanent form or in temporary form, by protective groups which ensure unequivocal synthesis of the expected compounds. The protection and deprotection reactions are carried out according to techniques well known to persons skilled in the art. The term "temporary protective, group for amines or alcohols" is understood to mean protective groups such as those described in Protective Groups in Organic Synthesis, Greene T.W. and Wuts P.G.M., published by Wiley Intersciences, 1999, and in Protecting Groups, Kocienski P.J., 1994, Georg Thieme Verlag.
Mention may be made, for example, of temporary protective groups for amines: benzyls, carbamates (such as tert-butyloxycarbonyl, which can be cleaved in acidic medium, or benzyloxycarbonyl, which can be cleaved by hydrogenolysis); for carboxylic acids: alkyl esters (such as methyl, ethyl or tert-butyl esters, which can hydrolyse in basic or
acidic medium) and benzyl esters, which can be hydrogenolysed; for alcohols or for phenols, such as tetrahydropyranyl, methyloxymethyl, methylethoxymethyl, tert-butyl and benzyl ethers; or for carbonyl derivatives, such as linear or cyclic acetals, like, for example, 1,3-dioxane-2-yl or 1,3-dioxolan-2-yl; and reference may be made to the well known general methods described in the abovementioned Protective Groups.
A person skilled in the art will be in a position to choose the appropriate protective groups. The compounds of formula (I) can comprise precursor-groups of other functional groups which are subsequently generated in one or more other stages.
