(+)-c~-t2-~Acetyl(l-methylethyl)aminc~ethyl~ (2-chlorophenyl)-l-piperidinebutanamide which is a racemic mixture is useful by virtue of its ability to inhibit ventricular arrhythmia. A complete discussion of (+)~-t2-~acetyl(l-methylethyl)~mino~ethyl~ t2-chlorophenyl)-l-piperidinebutan~mide usefulness as an ~ntiarrhythmic agent is given in United States Patent :
4,639,524. Given its potential usefulness as a pharmacological agent, it beca~e desirable to develop a convenient and cost effective process for its resolution.
Background of the Invention Ingersoll, J. Am. Chem. Soc. ~47), 1168-1173 (1925) discusses a method for the resolution of externally compensated acids and bases by which both active forms are obtained completely pure. This method utilizes stereospecific c~mphorsulfonic acid.
In~ersoll, J. Am. Chem. Soc. (50), 2264-2267 (192R) discusses the resolution of inactive iso-diphenylhydroxy-ethyiamine with d and dl-camphor sulfonic acids.

Both enantiomers sh~w electrophysiolo~ic e~fects in both the upper and lower parts of the heart. This electrophysiological activity would indicate that the enanti~mers would be useful a antiarrhyth~ic ag~nts.

The convenienc~ of the process is demonstrated by the synthetic route comprising only two step~. The cost effectiveness of the process is demonstrated by the final product being produced in high yield and high quality.

The process of this invention is illustrated by the following Scheme I.

!.-W093/13087 2 12 2 5 8 ~ PCT/US92/10020 In the practice of this invention which is illustrated in Scheme I, ~+~-~-t2-~acetyl(l-methylethyl)amino]ethyl]-~-(2-chlorophenyl)-1-piperidinebutanamide is mixed in an organic solvent and (lR)-(-)-10 camphorsulfonic acid is added to the solution. The solid [+~ 2-[acetyl(1-methylethyl)amino]ethyl~-~-(2-chlorophenyl)-1-piperidinebutanamide(-)camphorsulfonic salt is obtained by filtration. In a preferred embodiment of the invention the stereospecific camphorsulfonic acid is added to a mixture of acetone and ~+]-a-t2-~acetyl(l-methylethyl)amino]ethyl]-~-(2-chlorophenyl)-1-piperidinebutanamide and the resulting solution is stirred. Seeding of the solution with t+~ 2-tacetyl(l-methylethyl)amino~ethyl~-~-(2-chlorophenyl)-l-piperidinebutanamide(-)camphorsulfonic acid salt initiates the crystallization of t+}-~-t2-tacetyl(1-methylethyl)amino]ethyl~ (2-chlorophenyl)-1-piperidinebutanamide(-)camphorsulfonic salt. ~he solvent is removed by filtrating. The crystalline product is washed with acetone, pulled dry under N2 and dried in a vacuum oven at 50 C. While acetone is a preferred solvent, other solvents such as ethyl acetate and methylethyl ketone could be used in the practice of this invention.

The diastereomeric salt is converted to t+]-~-t2-tacetyl(l-methylethyl)amino~ethyl]-~-(2-chlorophenyl)-l-piperidinebutanamide by treatment with a base. In a preferred, embodiment of the invention the free b~se formation i~ conducted at room temperature for fifteen minutes. The diastereomeric ~alt is dissolved in water and methylene chloride. The reaction mixture is stirred and then treated with ammonium hydroxide. The organic layer i8 washed with water, dried and filtered.
Removal of the solvent gives ~+]-~-t2-tacetyl(l-methylethyl)amino] ethyl~-~-(2-chlorophenyl)-1-W093/1~87 ~ 1 2 2 ~ 8 4 PCT/US92/10020 piperidinebutanamide as a crystalline product. While ammonium hydroxide is a preferred base, other bases such as sodium hydroxide, potassium hydroxide, sodium carbonate or potassium carbonate could be used.
The filtrate from the preceding filtration step is - concentrated to give a solid which is treated with base as described above to provide a mixture of ~]~ 2-[acetyl(l-methylethyl)amino~ethyl]-~-(2-chlorophenyl)-l-piperidinebutanamide and ~ 2-[acetyl(l-methylethyl)aminoethyl]-~-(2-chlorophenyl)-l-piperidinebutanamide. This mixture is enriched in the (-) enantiomer mixture. It is essential in the practice of this invention that the percentage of the (-) enantiomer in the enriched mixture not be below 70%
with 80% or above being preferred. This mixture is mixed with (+)-camphorsulfonic acid in acetone. After -seeding with ~ t2-[acetyltl-methylethyl) aminoethyl~ (2-chlorophenyl)-l-piperidinebutanamide (+)-camphorsulfonic acid salt and crystallization the E~ 2-tacetyl(~-methylethyl)aminoethyl~ (2-chlorophenyl)-l-piperidinebutanamide (+)-camphorsulfonic acid salt is isolated by filtration.
This salt is treated with base in the manner described above to provide ~-]~ 2-~acetyl(l-methylethyl)aminoethyl]-~-(2-chlorophenyl)~l-piperidinebutanamide.

The stereospecific camphorsulfonic acid, namely the (lR)-(-)-lO camphorsulfonic acid or (lS)-(+)-lO-camphorsulfonic acid is commercially available~

Btripping of the solvent under vacuum yielded 294 g of th~ crude product. The crude product was dissolved in 2 L of refluxing ethyl acetate and filtered while hot. The filtrate was transferred to a flask equipped with a magnetic stirring bar and stirred. Seeding of the filtrates with t+]-~-[2-racetyl(l-methylethyl)amino]ethyl]-~-(2-chlorophenyl)-l-piperidinebutanamide caused the product to crystallize as a thick slurry. Stirring was discontinued and the slurry was allowed to stand o~ernight. The slurry was broken up, filtered and washed with 200 ml of ethyl acetate. The product was pulled dry and then dried in a vacuum at 50C. Tbis procedure gave 239 g of the title product.
