Problems solved by technology

[0014] Esters function as protecting groups, limiting the number of unwanted cross-reactions
However, the final product of the process of U.S. Patent 4,816,484 may be contaminated with the methyl ester, since removal of the ester as a protecting group may be incomplete, leaving at least a small amount of the ester as an impurity in the final product
Additionally, crystallization from aqueous methanol may cause esterification of the product
[0015] A common problem in the preparation of nateglinide is the undesired presence of the corresponding cis-isomer during the preparation, which leads to contamination of the final product with the corresponding cis-isomer

Embodiment 1

[0102] Preparation of IPCHAC by chlorination in the presence of amide

[0103] Add N,N-dimethylformamide (0.1ml) and pure trans-4-isopropylcyclohexanecarboxylic acid (9.92g) to thionyl chloride (8.32g) at room temperature. The isomer content is less than 0.1%]. The mixture was stirred at room temperature for 2 hours, and the volatiles were removed under reduced pressure in a 40°C bath to obtain 10.39 g of the desired product trans-4-isopropylcyclohexane acid chloride with a purity of 97% and a colorless liquid. No cis isomer was detected by GC. Yield: 96%.

Embodiment 2

[0105] Preparation of IPCHAC by chlorination in ethyl acetate in the presence of amide

[0106] To a mixture of trans-4-isopropylcyclohexanecarboxylic acid (20.0g) in ethyl acetate (8ml) was added N,N-dimethylformamide (0.1g), and the mixture was heated to 40°C, Thionyl chloride (16.1 g) was gradually added within 1 hour. The mixture was stirred at 40°C for 1 hour, and volatiles were removed under reduced pressure in a 40°C bath to obtain 22.43 g of the desired product trans-4-isopropylcyclohexane acid chloride with a purity of 98% and a colorless liquid. No cis isomer was detected by GC. The yield was 99%.

Embodiment 3

[0108] Preparation of IPCHAC by chlorination in the presence of amide

[0109] To pure trans-4-isopropylcyclohexanecarboxylic acid (250 g) placed in a 2 liter reactor was added N,N-dimethylformamide (0.63 g). The mixture was cooled to 18°C, and thionyl chloride (189.8 g) was gradually added within 15 minutes. The mixture was stirred for 1 hour, maintaining the temperature at about 15°C to obtain a clear solution. A second portion of trans-4-isopropylcyclohexanecarboxylic acid (250g) was added to the reactor, followed by N,N-dimethylformamide (0.63g). Another portion of thionyl chloride (189.8g) was added dropwise within 15 minutes, and the mixture was stirred for 1 hour, keeping the temperature at about 15°C to obtain a clear solution of the crude product of the desired product, which was directly used to prepare nateglinide . No cis isomer was detected by GC.

Abstract

Provided is a method for preparing an intermediate in the synthesis of nateglinide. Trans-4-isopropylcyclohexane acid chloride is formed by reacting 4-isopropylcyclohexanecarboxylic acid with thionyl chloride in the presence of an effective amount of an organic amide. Also provided is the acylation of a suitable salt of D-phenylalanine with trans-4-isopropylcyclohexane acid chloride in single-phase and two-phase systems and in water free of co-solvents to prepare Nagar Lennet's method.
