buspirone can be conveniently and economically obtained according to
the process by employing labeled 2-halopyrimidines such as 2-chloro-
pyrimidine-14C and 2-chloropyrimidine-15N2.

Su~mary of the Inven~ion
Broadly described, this invention is concerned with a
process for preparation of the pyrimidine compound 8-[4-[4-(2-
pyrimidinyl)-l-piperazinyl]butyl]-8-azaspiro[4.5]decane-7,9-dione
also referred to herein by the United States Adopted Name "buspirone";
see J. Amer. Med. Assoc., 225, 520 (1973). The instant process
provides a new and novel route for preparation of buspirone and more
particularly to a method for incorporating radioactive carbon (14C)
and stable lSnitrogen (15N) isotopes in specified positions oE the
pyrimidinyl eomponent of buspirone. Labeled buspirone is useful in
elinical investigation of the absorption and metabolic disposition of
this anxiolytic agent.
Detailed Deseription of the Invention

X~
(III)
wherein X is bromine, iodine or preferably chlorine in a reaction
inert solvent at a temperature ranging from 80-170C., preferably in a
closed reaction vessel.
The foregoing process is particularly adz.ptable to the
preparation of radioactive labeled buspirone and in that respect is
both economical and convenient. As used herein, the term "labeled"
refers to radioactive ( C) and stable (15N~ isotopes incorporated at
specific positions of buspirone. Preferred embodiments of the
foregoing process are those for the preparation of labeled buspirone
wherein:
the compound of Formula III is 2-chloropyrimidine labeled
in the 2 position with 14carbon isotope;
the compou~d of Formula III is 2-chloropyrimidine in which
the 1,3-nitrogen atoms are labeled with 15nitrogen isotope.
The labeled Formula III 2-halopyrimidines are obtained by
condensation of appropriately labeled urea with malonaldehyde

i~7;~55
bis(dimethylacetal) or malonaldehyde bis(diethylacetal) in the presence
of acid tO afford the corresponding 2-hydroxypyrimidine subsequently
converted to the halo compound by means of phcsphorus oxyh~lide such
as phosphorus oxychloride or phcsphorus oxybromide. By way of illus-
tration, the sequence starting with urea-14C for preparation of
2-chloropyrimidine- 1 C (IIIa) is depicted belcw.

In carrying out the instant process, any solvent which does
not adversely affect the reaction as well as the reactants and the
buspirone product may be used with the preferred solvent being an
alkanol such as ethanol, n-propanol, isopropanol and the like.
Generally a reaction temperature in the range of from about
80C. to about 170C. is operable, with the preferred temperature
being in the range of ~rom 110C. to 120C. Higher and lower tempera-
tures may be used, but at a reaction temperature below 80C. the

~7~2~55
reaction is undulv prolonged and adequate condensation does not occur
whereas if the reaction temperature exceeds 170C. the reactants tend
to undergo decomposition i-o some extent. When the process is carried
out at temperatures above the boiling point of the reaction solvent,
a closed reaction vessel is preferably employed.
The hydrohalide evolved in the course of the reaction is
taken up with an acid acceptor to conserve the basic 8-[4-(1-piperazinvl)-
butyl~-8-azaspiro[4.53decane-7!9-dione reactant (II). In this regard
a tertiary amine such as triethylamine is preferred.
10The process of this invention is further illustrated by the
f ollowing examples which are not to be construed as limiting the
scope of the present invention.
