[0069] Example-1: Preparation of D-serine methyl ester hydrochloride:

[0070] D-serine (100 g, 0.9515 mol) was suspended in 600 ml methanol at room temperature. Acetyl chloride (224.0 g, 2.8545 mol) was added dropwise at -5°C to 0°C and stirred for 30 minutes. The reaction mixture was refluxed for 15 hours. The reaction mixture was evaporated under reduced pressure, and the resulting residue was subsequently crystallized from methanol and methyl tert-butyl ether to give D-serine methyl ester hydrochloride as a colorless solid (134.7 g, yield: 91%, HPLC: 99.6%)

Abstract

A novel process for the preparation of (R)-2-acetamido-N-benzyl-3-methoxypropionamide (Lacosamide) is described. It comprises reacting N-acetyl-D-serine methyl ester with benzylamine catalyzed by a non-nucleophilic base to obtain (R)-2-acetamido-2-N-benzyl-3-hydroxy propionamide followed by its methylation.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a method for preparing Lacosamide. Background technique [0002] Lacosamide is a chiral molecule useful for the treatment of convulsions and pain. It was approved by the United States Food and Drug Administration (USFDA) in 2008 and is sold by UCB under the trade name Sale. It is chemically (R)-2-acetamido-N-benzyl-3-methoxypropionamide (formula (I)) having the following structure: [0003] [0004] US Patent 5,773,475 describes three procedures for the preparation of lacosamide. Scheme-1 involves conversion of D-serine to its methyl ester hydrochloride followed by amidation with benzylamine. Acetylation of the benzylamide followed by Williamson etherification yields lacosamide. [0005] [0006] In this scheme, the benzamide intermediate is obtained with poor chiral purity due to racemization. Additionally, the methylation stage involves the use of the dangerous low-boiling reagent methyl iodide and expensive silv...
