"> Example 3 describes the hydrochoride salt of the compound of formula (I): —A is -CH2-(CH2)rCH2- wherein r is 1; R1 and R2 are hydrogen; R3 is hydrogen; R4 is hydrogen; Y is NH; and Z is of sub-formula (a), and is of structure (i): (Figure Removed) This compound is N-[(l-nbutyl-4-piperidyl)methyl]-3,4-dihydro-2H-[l,3]oxazino[3,2-a]indole-10-carboxamide SB 207266, (the hydrochloride salt is SB 207266-A) which is being developed by SmithKline Beecham pic as the active ingredient in a medicament for treatment of irritable bowel syndrome. Example 3 of WO 93/18036 describes a method of preparation of SB 207266-A from N-[(l-nbutyl-4-piperidyl)methyl]indole-3-carboxamide (i.e. the compound corresponding to SB 207266, without the oxazino moiety), by reacting with N-chlorosuccinimide and 3-bromo-l-propanol, followed by treatment with sodium carbonate. N-[(l-nbutyl-4-piperidyl)methyl]indole-3-carboxamide is prepared by coupling N-(l-nbutyl-4-piperidyl)methylamine with a indole-3-carboxylic acid. An alternative process for preparing SB 207266-A has now been discovered which involves the use of the N-(l-nbutyl-4-piperidyl)methylamine intermediate at a later stage in the process thus resulting in an increased yield of SB 207266-A relative to the amount of this intermediate, which is relatively expensive to produce. Accordingly, the present invention provides a process for the preparation of SB 207266 or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, which process comprises the reaction of of N-(l-nbutyl-4-piperidyl)methylamine with a compound of formula (A): (Formula Removed) wherein R is alkyl, such as methyl or ethyl. The compound of formula (A) wherein R is methyl is methyl 3,4-dihydro-2//-[l,3]-oxazino[3,2-a]indole-10-carboxylate. The conditions and reagents for this reaction are similar to those described in the literature. / / ^/ Preferably, the reaction is catalysed by an aluminium or lithium based catalyst. More preferably, the catalyst is trimethylaluminium. A mixture of the amine and ester in a suitable solvent (eg toluene) is treated with a solution of trimethylaluminium in toluene or hexanes at ambient temperature. The resulting solution is then heated, preferably to reflux (1 12 °C ) for about four hours until the reaction is complete. The reaction is cooled to about 70°C and quenched by cautious addition of aqueous sodium hydroxide solution. The aqueous layer is separated and the mixture washed once more with caustic and twice with water, maintaining the temperature at about 70°C. The product is isolated as described in the attached Example. Alternative catalysts include NaH2Et2Al which is used in a similar way to BuLi is also suitable but is used at lower temperatures and requires two equivalents of the base and two equivalents of the amine. The mechanism of the reaction and role of the aluminium or lithium based catalyst is discussed in the references listed below: Use of AlMe3: Anwer Basha, Michael Lipton and Steven M. Weinreb, Tetrahedron Letters, 48, 4171, 1977. Use of NaH2Et2Al: Tae Bo Sim and Nung Min Yoon, Synlett., 1994, 827 Use of BuLi: Kim-Wenn Yang, Joseph, G. Cannon and John G. Rose, Tetrahedron Letters, 21, 1791, 1970 The oxazinoindole compound of the formula (A) is prepared from the corresponding indole by reaction with N-chlorosuccinimide and a 3-halo-propanol, such as 3-chloropropanol or 3-bromopropanol followed by cyclisation of the intermediate (B) by treatment with base in a suitable solvent. (Figure Removed) Suitable solvents for the cyclisation include acetone and toluene, and suitable bases include potassium carbonate, aqueous sodium hydroxide. The use of aqueous sodium hydroxide solution, even at 80°C does not cause any significant hydrolysis of the ester. In the case of toluene/aqueous sodium hydroxide, a phase transfer catalyst (eg tetrabutylammonium bromide) may be added, resulting in accelerating the reaction and allowing it to proceed at a lower temperature. The intermediate (B) may either be used as a crude oil or isolated as a white crystalline solid and then cyclised in quantitative yield to give a solution of (A) in a suitable solvent (eg toluene) for coupling with the amine. Compounds of the formula (A) and (B) are novel and form an aspect of the invention. The following Example illustrates the invention. The following Description j illustrates the preparation of an intermediate of formula (A).

To this at 20 to 24°C was added a solution of 1-«-butyl-4-piperidinylmethylamine (7.39kg, 99.4% pure, 42.7mole) in toluene (22L) over 43 minutes. Methyl 3,4-dihydro-2#-[l,3]-oxazino[3,2-a]indole-10-carboxylate (9.65kg, 98.9% pure, 41.3 mole) was added in one portion and the reaction heated to reflux at 112°C for 4 hours 10 minutes after which time the reaction was judged to be complete by HPLC analysis. 10% Sodium hydroxide solution (52.2L), prepared from 32% ww sodium hydroxide (24L) and water (80L), was added cautiously over 16 minutes at about 60 to 70°C. The resulting mixture was heated to 70 to 80°C and the aqueous layer separated. The toluene layer was washed with 10% sodium hydroxide (52.2L) followed twice by water (29L each wash). The toluene layer was cooled and diluted with hexane fraction (133L) to crystallise the product. After cooling to about 2°C overnight the product was collected by filtration, washed on the filter with hexane (21L) and dried in vacua at 40°C overnight to give SB-207266 batch 207266-HP8 (12.26kg, 94.5% pure, 75.9%).

The mixture was heated to reflux and stirred for three hours. The reaction was quenched by cautious addition of aqueous sodium hydroxide solution (460ml, 10% w/v) and then washed once with aqueous sodium hydroxide solution (460ml, 10% w/v) and twice with water (275ml each wash) while maintaining the temperature at about 70°C. Toluene (200ml) was added and the resulting solution was dried by azeotropic distillation of toluene (200ml) at about 55°C under reduced pressure.
