Abstract
Description
technical field
[0001] The invention relates to a method for preparing (S)-omeprazole with high enantioselectivity. Background technique
[0002] Compound 5-methoxy-2-[[(4-methoxy-3,5-dimethyl-2-pyridyl)methyl]-sulfinyl]-1H-benzimidazole (commonly known as azulene Meprazole) and pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof are described in EP 5129. Particular alkali metal salts of omeprazole are described in EP 124495 . Omeprazole is a proton pump inhibitor, which can effectively inhibit gastric acid secretion and is used as an antiulcer agent. From a more general point of view, omeprazole can be used to prevent and treat diseases related to stomach acid in mammals, especially humans.
[0003] In asymmetrically substituted sulfoxide compounds, the sulfur atom is chiral. The chirality of omeprazole is shown on the sulfur atom of sulfoxide. In fact, omeprazole also has a pair of enantiomers, and (S)-(-)-enantiomer corresponds to (S)-omeprazole.
