Abstract

The invention provides a new enantioselective process for the preparation of (S) -pregabalin, or a pharmaceutical acceptable addition acid salt comprising: acid hydrolysis of the dioxolan ring of a chiral compound of general formula (I) to obtain compound of general formula (II); oxidation of compound (II) to obtain a compound of general formula (III) and transforming compound (III) into compound of general formula (IV); subjecting compound (IV) to basic hydrolysis to obtain a compound of general formula (V) which is reduced to obtain enantiomerically pure S-pregabalin. The invention also provides new chiral intermediates involved in the process.

Description

field of invention [0001] The present invention relates to a method for enantioselectively preparing (S)-pregabalin (pregabalin) or a salt thereof, especially a pharmaceutically acceptable salt. Chirality was introduced at the beginning of the process using D-mannitol bisacetonide to obtain the starting compound (S)-4-((S)-2,2-dimethyl-1,3 -dioxolan-4-yl)pyrrolidin-2-one, optionally protected with an amine protecting group, and maintained during the process. The invention also relates to novel chiral intermediates involved in this process. Background of the invention [0002] (S)-Pregabalin, also known as (S)-3-(aminomethyl)-5-methylhexanoic acid, as Gabapentin for the treatment of epilepsy, pain, anxiety and social phobia, A follower compound was developed. Both (S)-pregabalin and gabapentin are analogs of 4-aminobutyric acid (GABA), a neurotransmitter thought to play a major inhibitory role in the central nervous system (CNS). (S)-Pregabalin was approved in the United...
