Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to a method for preparing a GLP-1R receptor agonist and a method for preparing its intermediates, specifically to 2-amino-2-(hydroxymethyl)-1,3-propanediol, (S)-2-((4-(2-(((4-chloro-2-fluorophenylmethyl)oxy)phenyl)piperidin-1-yl)methyl)-1-(oxetane-2-aminomethyl)-1H-benzo[d]imidazolium-6-carboxylate and its intermediates. Background Technology

[0002] (S)-2-((4-(2-((4-chloro-2-fluorobenzyl)oxy)phenyl)piperidin-1-yl)methyl)-1-(oxacyclobut-2-aminomethyl)-1H-benzis[d]imidazole-6-carboxylic acid is a GLP-1R agonist used to treat metabolic-related diseases such as diabetes, obesity, non-alcoholic fatty liver disease, and hypertension.

[0003] Glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) is an endogenous incretin that stimulates insulin release. It binds to and is activated by the GLP-1 receptor (GLP-1R), a member of the G protein-coupled receptor (GPCR) class B family, to exert its regulatory function. GLP-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1RAs) are synthetic drugs designed to mimic the physiological functions of GLP-1. After binding to GLP-1R in pancreatic cells, they glucose-dependently stimulate insulin synthesis and secretion; reduce glucagon release; act on GLP-1R in the central nervous system, thereby reducing food intake; increase energy expenditure by promoting thermogenesis in brown adipose tissue and breakdown in white adipose tissue; and delay gastric emptying. GLP-1RAs are clinically indicated for adult patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), exhibiting significant hypoglycemic effects while also reducing weight, systolic blood pressure, and improving dyslipidemia. GLP-1RAs can be used alone or in combination with other hypoglycemic agents. Multiple clinical studies have shown that adding GLP-1RAs is effective after treatment with an oral hypoglycemic agent (metformin, sulfonylureas) has failed.

[0004] Chinese patent CN202110334388 provides the following general formula for GLP agonist compounds, with the following structure:

[0005]

[0006] Among them, Example 1 of patent CN202110334388 discloses the following preparation method (Route 1):

[0007] .

[0008] In this route, 2-hydroxyphenylboronic acid and trifluoromethanesulfonate are used as starting materials. The precious metal palladium catalyst is used in multiple steps, and column chromatography is required in multiple steps. It is not easy to scale up production, and the raw materials are quite expensive.

[0009] The literature (Chem. Pharm. Bull. 48(12)1978-1985(2000)) discloses the synthetic route (Route 2) for the intermediate 2-(piperidin-4-yl)phenol:

[0010] .

[0011] Route 2 uses 2-bromo-anisole as the starting material, and proceeds through Grignard reaction, palladium-on-carbon debenzylation, and hydrobromic acid demethoxylation to obtain the intermediate 2-(piperidin-4-yl)phenol. This route suffers from harsh demethoxylation conditions at the end, which is difficult to complete, resulting in a low yield.

[0012] The literature (Chem. Pharm. Bull. 50(2)292-297(2002)) discloses the synthetic route (Route 3) for the intermediate 2-(piperidin-4-yl-4-hydroxy)phenol:

[0013]

[0014] Unlike Route 2, Route 3 uses 2-bromophenylbenzyl ether as the starting material to synthesize the intermediate 4-(2-hydroxyphenyl)piperidin-4-ol; the deprotection is performed by removing two benzyl groups in one step using palladium hydroxide, which is relatively simple. However, palladium hydroxide is expensive, the reaction is difficult to control, the reaction is incomplete, and purification is difficult.

[0015] The literature (J. Org. Chem. 2014, 79, 328−338) discloses the synthetic route (Route 4) for the intermediate 2-(piperidin-4-yl-4-hydroxy)phenol analog:

[0016] .

[0017] Although Route 4 only has one step, the reaction yield is very low and it is not easy to scale up.

[0018] Analysis of current technological approaches reveals that the four routes for preparing the aforementioned GLP-1R receptor agonists all result in low yields, expensive reagents, and unsuitable process scale-up. Therefore, there is an urgent need to develop processes that offer good yields, low costs, and are suitable for scale-up. Summary of the Invention
