Reaktionsschritte

Another process for preparing Temozolomide is described in U.S. patent application having the Publication No. 2002/0095036 (see Scheme 4 below). In this process, the imine (V) is converted to 2-cyano-N-(1,1-dimethylethyl)-2-[(diphenyl-methylene)amino]-acetamide, which is converted to 2-amino-2-cyano-N-(1,1-dimethyl-ethyl)-acetamide hydrochloride. The latter is reacted with compound (VI) to obtain 5-amino-N4-(1,1-dimethylethyl)-N1-methyl-1H-imidazole-1,4-dicarboxamide, which is converted to 3,4-dihydro-N-(1,1-dimethylethyl)-3-methyl-imidazo-[5,1-d]-1,2,3,5-tetrazine-8-carboxamide (tert-butyl-Temozolomide), which yields Temozolomide under acidic treatment with concentrated sulfuric acid.
