The present invention relates to an efficient and industrially advantageous process for the preparation of pure lH-pyrazolo[3,4-d] pyrimidine derivative. In particular the present invention provides a process for the preparation of pure 4-amino-3-(4- phenoxyphenyl)-lH-pyrazolo[3,4-d] pyrimidine, a key intermediate of ibrutinib. Particularly, the present invention provides a process for the preparation of 3-amino-4-cyano-5-(4-phenoxy phenyl)pyrazole, wherein none of the intermediates have been isolated, an important precursor for the preparation of 4-amino-3-(4-phenoxyphenyl)- lH-pyrazolo[3,4-d] pyrimidine.

In particular the present invention provides a process for the preparation of pure 4-amino-3-(4-phenoxyphenyl)-lH-pyrazolo[3,4-d] pyrimidine, a key intermediate of ibrutinib, wherein none of the intermediates have been isolated to prepare 3-amino-4-cyano-5-(4-phenoxy phenyl)pyrazole, an important precursor.
Ibrutinib (IMBRUVICA), chemically known as l-[(3R)-3-[4-amino-3-(4-phenoxyphenyl)-lH-pyrazolo[3,4-d]pyrimidin- 1 -yl]piperidin- 1 -yl] prop-2-en- 1 -one is an orally administered drug that targets Bruton’s tyrosine kinase (BTK). Ibrutinib may be used for treating both B cell-related hematological cancers/ B cell chronic lymphocytic leukemia, and autoimmune diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis, Sjogrens syndrome, lupus and asthma and is represented by following chemical formula:
Ibrutinib and its pharmaceutically acceptable salts were first disclosed in US patent US7,514,444. This patent discloses a process for the preparation of Ibrutinib by involving use of 4-amino-3-(4-phenoxyphenyl)- lH-pyrazolo[3,4-d]pyrimidine, as intermediate as shown below:
4-Amino-3-(4-phenoxyphenyl)- l H-pyrazolo[3,4-d]pyrimidine, a key intermediate of ibrutinib, and its preparation from 3-amino-4-cyano-5-(4-phenoxyphenyl) pyrazole was first disclosed in a PCT patent publication WO2001/019829 A2 as shown in below scheme.
Various other publications like US patents US7,514,444; US7.718,662; US8,883,803 and PCT publications WO2012/158843 A2; WO2013/010136A2 follow the same process for the preparation of 4-amino-3-(4-phenoxyphenyl)-lH-pyrazolo[3,4-d]pyrimidine as described above.
The process comprises the conversion of 4-phenoxybenzoic acid to the corresponding acid chloride, which is then taken up in mixture of toluene and tetrahydrofuran and further reacted with malononitrile in the presence of diisopropylethylethylamine in toluene. The reaction mixture is stirred overnight and after completion of reaction, followed by work up 1 , 1 -dicyano-2-hydroxy-2-(4-phenoxyphenyl)ethene is isolated as a residue and which is further purified.
The resulting l, l-dicyano-2-hydroxy-2-(4-phenoxyphenyl)ethene is reacted with trimethylsilyldiazomethane in a mixture of acetonitrile and methanol in the presence of diisopropylethylamine as a base. The resulting reaction mixture is stirred for 2 days to give l, l-dicyano-2-methoxy-2-(4-phenoxyphenyl)ethene (O-methylated product) as an oil, which is purified by flash chromatography.
The O-methylated product is treated with hydrazine hydrate to give 3-amino-4-cyano- 5-(4-phenoxyphenyl)pyrazole, which is further reacted with formamide at a temperature of 180°C to give 4-amino-3-(4-phenoxyphenyl)- lH-pyrazolo[3,4- d]pyrimidine as pale brown-grey solid.
Since, the above process involves the isolation of intermediates and takes long time during reaction completion. Therefore, it is lengthy, not efficient. Further publication is silent about the purity of 4-amino-3-(4-phenoxyphenyl)- lH-pyrazolo[3,4-d]pyrimidine. Acetonitrile solvent has been used in methylation reaction, which is carcinogenic.
The cyclization reaction has been carried out at 180°C and it is observed that the cyclization reaction at high temperature of 180°C, results in grey brown solid colour of 4-amino-3-(4-phenoxyphenyl)- lH-pyrazolo[3,4-d]pyrimidine, may be due to presence of inorganic impurities.
The said process also requires the use of expensive (trimethylsilyl)diazomethane to obtain O-methylated product, which is sensitive to air and water, and hence, the methylation reaction has to be carried out in the absence of water, under anaerobic conditions; silica and flash chromatography are also used for purifying O-methylated product. Since the above process involves complicated operation processes, which leads to high production cost and therefore is not an attractive option at industrially scale.
PCT publication WO2014/173289A1 discloses a process for preparation of 3-amino-4-cyano-5-(4-phenoxyphenyl)pyrazole as shown below and its conversion into 4- amino-3-(4-phenoxy phenyl)- lH-pyrazolo[3,4-d]pyrimidine has not been disclosed.
The process involves conversion of 4-phenoxybenzoic acid to the corresponding acid chloride, followed by reaction with malononitrile in the presence of diisopropylethylethylamine in tetrahydrofuran. The reaction mixture has been stirred for 16 hours and thereafter l, l -dicyano-2-hydroxy-2-(4-phenoxyphenyl) ethene is isolated from reaction mixture. A solution of l, l-dicyano-2-hydroxy-2-(4- phenoxyphenyl)ethene in trimethoxymethane has been heated for 16 hours to give l, l-dicyano-2-methoxy-2-(4-phenoxyphenyl)ethene (O-methylated product), which is then reacted with hydrazine hydrate to give 3-amino-4-cyano-5-(4-phenoxy phenyl)pyrazole.
The above process is inefficient, since it involves isolation of intermediates and takes long time to complete the reactions and purity of 3-amino-4-cyano-5-(4- phenoxypheny pyrazole has not been disclosed.
A similar approach has been described in a PCT publication WO2014/082598 A 1 for preparation of 3-amino-4-cyano-5-(4-phenoxyphenyl)pyrazole and is presented as below:
The process involves conversion of 4-phenoxybenzoic acid to the corresponding acyl chloride by using sulfurous dichloride, followed by reaction with malononitrile in the presence of sodium hydride to obtain l, l-dicyano-2-hydroxy-2-(4-phenoxy phenyl)ethene, which is recrystallized from 1,4-dioxane. The hydroxy moiety is then methylated using dimethyl sulphate to give l, l-dicyano-2-methoxy-2-(4-phenoxy phenyl)ethene (O-methylated product) which is recrystallized from a mixture of hexane and ethylactetate. The solution of resulting O-methylated product in ethanol was treated with hydrazine hydrate at reflux temperature to give 3-amino-4-cyano-5- (4-phenoxy phenyl)pyrazole, followed by its recrystallization in hexane and further, its conversion into 4-amino-3-(4-phenoxyphenyl)- lH-pyrazolo[3,4-d]pyrimidine was not disclosed.
The above process also involves isolation of intermediates; their purification which leads to longer time in reaction completion, and it does not disclose the purity of 3- amino-4-cyano-5-(4-phenoxyphenyl)pyrazole. Further the above process involves use of sodium hydride, which is a hazardous reagent and can ignite in air during scale up. Several alternative methods have been reported in literature, wherein process for the preparation of 4-amino-3-(4-phenoxyphenyl)-lH-pyrazolo[3,4-d]pyrimidine has been disclosed and are discussed herein.
A Chinese patent application CN103121999A discloses a process of preparation of 4- amino-3 -(4-phenoxy phenyl)- 1 H-pyrazolo[3 ,4-d] pyrimidine, as below :
The process involves reaction of 3-bromo-lH-pyrazolo[3,4-d]pyrimidin-4-amine with (4-phenoxyphenyl)boronic acid in the presence of alkali agents and aprotic solvents to give 4-amino-3-(4-phenoxyphenyl)-lH-pyrazolo[3,4-d]pyrimidine.
The said Chinese application is also silent about the purity of target compound and even starts with the advance intermediates, which are expensive and make the process unattractive from industrial point of view.
A similar approach has been described in US patent US8,940,893; PCT publication WO2013/1 13097A1 and WO2015/018333 A 1 for preparing 4-amino-3-(4-phenoxyphenyl)-lH-pyrazolo[3,4-d]pyrimidine .
In US patent US8,940,893 and PCT publication WO2013/1 13097A1, 4-amino-3-(4-phenoxyphenyl)- lH-pyrazolo[3,4-d]pyrimidine is purified by using Combi-flash chromatography on silica gel. In PCT publication WO2015/018333A1, 4-amino-3-(4-phenoxyphenyl)- lH-pyrazolo[3,4-d]pyrimidine is purified by recrystallization in ethyl acetate.
The purity of 4-amino-3-(4-phenoxyphenyl)-lH-pyrazolo[3,4-d]pyrimidine has not been reported in above publications too. Further two of the above processes involve tedious step of chromatographic purification, which is not industrial viable.
Another Chinese patent application CN 103965201 A discloses a process for the preparation of 4-amino-3-(4-phenoxyphenyl)- lH-pyrazolo[3,4-d]pyrimidine, wherein 3-bromo-lH-pyrazolo[3,4-d]pyrimidin-4-amine was reacted with trimethyl tin (4- phenoxy phenyl) to give 4-amino-3-(4-phenoxyphenyl)-lH-pyrazolo[3,4- d]pyrimidine and followed by its recrystallization in isopropanol, as shown below:
The said Chinese application is also silent about the purity of 4-amino-3-(4- phenoxyphenyl)- lH-pyrazolo[3,4-d]pyrimidine and is not cost-effective because it starts with advance intermediates, which are expensive. Therefore, said route of synthesis is not industrially applicable.
Purity of an API as well as intermediates is of great importance in the field of pharmaceutical chemistry. It is well documented in the art that direct product of a chemical reaction is rarely a single compound with sufficient purity to comply with pharmaceutical standards. The impurities that can be present in pharmaceutical compounds are starting materials, by-products of the reaction, products of side reactions, or degradation products.
According to ICH guidelines, process impurities should be maintained below set limits by specifying the quality of raw materials, their stoichiometric ratios, controlling process parameters, such as temperature, pressure, time and including purification steps, such as crystallization, distillation and liquid-liquid extraction etc., in the manufacturing process. Typically, these limits should less than about 0.15 % by weight of each identified impurity. Limits for unidentified and/or uncharacterized impurities are obviously lower, typically less than 0.10 % by weight. The limits for genotoxic impurities could be much lower depending upon the daily dose of the drug and duration of the treatment. Therefore, in the manufacture of a drug substance, the purity of the starting materials is also important, as impurities may carry forward to the active pharmaceutical ingredient such as ibrutinib.
In view of the above, most of the prior art processes involve isolation of intermediates, additional purification steps and silent about the purity or the assay of 4-amino-3-(4-phenoxy phenyl)- lH-pyrazolo[3,4-d]pyrimidine.
Thus, there is an urgent need for the development of a synthetic process which produces pure 4-amino-3-(4-phenoxyphenyl)-lH-pyrazolo[3,4-d]pyrimidine or its acid addition salts.
The present invention fulfills the need in the art and provides an improved, industrially advantageous process for the synthesis of pure 4-amino-3-(4-phenoxyphenyl)-lH-pyrazolo[3,4-d] pyrimidine, a key intermediate in the preparation of ibrutinib, through preparation of 3-amino-4-cyano-5-(4-phenoxyphenyl)pyrazole from 4-phenoxy benzoic acid using same organic solvent and none of the intermediates have been isolated.

The present invention encompasses solid state forms of Ibrutinib, including forms G, J and K, and pharmaceutical compositions thereof.
Ibrutinib, l-{(3R)-3- [4-amino-3-(4-phenoxyphenyl)-lH-pyrazolo [3,4-d] pyrimidin-l-yl] piperidin-l-yl] prop-2-en-l-one, having the following formula,
is a kinase inhibitor indicated for the treatment of patients with B-cell lymphoma.
Ibrutinib is described in US 7,514,444 and in US 8,008,309. Solid state forms, including forms A-F and amorphous form of Ibrutinib, are described in WO 2013/184572.
Polymorphism, the occurrence of different crystalline forms, is a property of some molecules and molecular complexes. A single molecule may give rise to a variety of polymorphs having distinct crystal structures and physical properties like melting point, thermal behaviors (e.g. measured by thermogravimetric analysis - "TGA", or differential scanning calorimetry - "DSC"), X-ray diffraction pattern, infrared absorption fingerprint, and solid state (13C-) NMR spectrum. One or more of these techniques may be used to distinguish different polymorphic forms of a compound.
Different salts and solid state forms (including solvated forms) of an active pharmaceutical ingredient may possess different properties. Such variations in the properties of different salts and solid state forms and solvates may provide a basis for improving formulation, for example, by facilitating better processing or handling characteristics, changing the dissolution profile in a favorable direction, or improving stability (polymorph as well as chemical stability) and shelf-life. These variations in the properties of different salts and solid state forms may also offer improvements to the final dosage form, for instance, if they serve to improve bioavailability. Different salts and solid state forms and solvates of an active pharmaceutical ingredient may also give rise to a variety of polymorphs or crystalline forms, which may in turn provide additional opportunities to assess variations in the properties and characteristics of a solid active pharmaceutical ingredient.
Discovering new solid state forms and solvates of a pharmaceutical product may yield materials having desirable processing properties, such as ease of handling, ease of processing, storage stability, and ease of purification, or may serve as desirable intermediate crystal forms that facilitate purification or conversion to other polymorphic forms. New solid state forms of a pharmaceutically useful compound can also provide an opportunity to improve the performance characteristics of a pharmaceutical product. It enlarges the repertoire of materials that a formulation scientist has available for formulation optimization, for example by providing a product with different properties, e.g., a different crystal habit, higher crystallinity or polymorphic stability which may offer better processing or handling characteristics, improved dissolution profile, or improved shelf-life (chemical/physical stability). For at least these reasons, there is a need for additional solid state forms (including solvated forms) of ibrutinib.

The mixture was stirred at 25°C for 48 hours. The obtained slurry was filtered and the wet product was slurried in water (50 mL) for 5 min and filtered again. The obtained product was dried under vacuum at room temp in the presence of a N2 atmosphere and found to be form G, as confirmed by XRPD.
Example 6: Preparation of Crystalline Form K of Ibrutinib
Ibrutinib (10 g) was dissolved in toluene (50 mL) and dimethylformamide (DMA) (30 mL) at room temperature, the solution was heated to 50 °C and water (30 mL) was added. The phases were separated and methyl tert-butyl ether (MTBE) (30 mL) was added to the organic phase. The solution was cooled in an ice bath and seeded with amorphous Ibrutinib. After further stirring at the same temperature the obtained slurry was filtered under vacuum. The obtained solid was analyzed by XRPD and found to be Form K (Figure 5).
