Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] The present invention relates to several improved methods for producing (6R,10S)-10-{4-[5-chloro-2-(4-chloro-1H-1,2,3-triazole-1-yl)phenyl]-6-oxo-1(6H)-pyrimidinyl}-1-(difluoromethyl)-6-methyl-1,4,7,8,9,10-hexahydro-11,15-(methano)pyrazolo[4,3-b][1,7]diazacyclotetradecine-5(6H)-one, which is a factor XIa inhibitor useful for the treatment of thromboembolic disorders (e.g., venous thrombosis and deep vein thrombosis). [Background technology]

[0002] Factor XIa is a plasma serine protease involved in regulating blood coagulation. In vivo, tissue factor (TF) initiates binding to factor VII (FVII), producing factor VIIa (FVIIa). The resulting TF:FVIIa complex contributes to the activation of factor IX (FIX) and factor X (FX), leading to the production of factor Xa (FXa). The produced FXa acts as a catalyst, converting prothrombin to a small amount of thrombin, after which this pathway is inhibited by tissue factor pathway inhibitors (TFPIs). The catalytic amount of thrombin then triggers feedback activity to factors V, VIII, and XI, further propagating the coagulation process (Gailani, D. et al., Arterioscler. Thromb. Vasc. Biol., 27:2507-2513 (2007)). Increased thrombin levels lead to the polymerization of fibrinogen into fibrin, forming the framework of a thrombus and activating platelets, which are essential cellular coagulation components (Hoffman, M., Blood Reviews, 17:S1-S5 (2003)). Therefore, factor XIa plays a crucial role in the propagation of this amplification loop and is an attractive target in antithrombotic therapy.

[0003] U.S. Patent No. 9,453,018 discloses macrocyclic compounds as factor XIa inhibitors useful for the treatment of thromboembolic disorders. One of these compounds has the following structure. [ka]

[0004] The aforementioned U.S. patent discloses a multi-step synthesis method for producing macrocyclic compounds. This method includes a step of coupling a pyridine-containing macrocyclic compound with pyrimidinol to form compound (I). The disclosed method also includes a step of ring-closing metathesis using a catalyst (e.g., Grubbs(II)).

[0005] Applying the multi-step synthesis disclosed in U.S. Patent No. 9,453,018 to larger-scale synthesis (e.g., production in a pilot plant or on a manufacturing scale) presents various challenges. One is that the high cost of the Grubbs(II) reagent makes it difficult to apply to industrial-scale synthesis. Furthermore, there is a need to continuously seek methods that yield higher results in order to reduce manufacturing costs and / or unreacted material. Preferably, inexpensive starting materials are selected in the new process.

[0006] There is a need for a method suitable for producing larger quantities of compound (I) than those typically produced by laboratory-scale methods. Furthermore, there is a need for a method that yields compound (I) in higher quantities than previously disclosed methods.

[0042] In one embodiment, the present invention provides a method for producing compound (I). Typical general production methods for derivatives are outlined in Schemes 1 and 2 below. [ka] [ka]

[0043] The details of each step in the manufacturing method shown in the above scheme are described below.

[0044] Step 1

[0045] The starting materials for this process are compound 1 and compound 2. In embodiments where the starting materials are prepared according to the method described in the literature, the starting materials are preferably purified before the reaction. Compounds 1 and 2 react in a suitable solvent under basic conditions to form compound 3. Suitable bases include, for example, Li + na + , and K + There are alkoxide bases that use as a countercation (e.g., methoxide, ethoxide, tert-butoxide, amylate, tert-amylate).

[0046] Examples of suitable solvents include, but are not limited to, polar aprotic solvents (e.g., dimethylformamide, dimethyl sulfoxide, and N-methylpyrrolidinone); ether solvents (e.g., tetrahydrofuran (THF), 2-methyltetrahydrofuran (2-MeTHF), methyl t-butyl ether (MTBE), diethoxymethane, and CPME); hydrocarbon solvents (e.g., benzene, toluene, hexane, and heptane); halogen solvents (e.g., dichloromethane and 1,2-dichloroethane); acetate ester solvents (e.g., ethyl acetate, isopropyl acetate, and butyl acetate); and other solvents (e.g., acetonitrile, methyl vinyl ketone, N,N-dimethylacetamide); polar aprotic solvents and mixtures thereof.

[0048] Step 2

[0049] Next, compound 3 is subjected to a reverse Claisen reaction under acidic conditions or in an acidic aqueous solution to obtain compound 4. Suitable acids include, but are not limited to, formic acid, acetic acid, benzenesulfonic acid (BSA), nitric acid, perchloric acid, methanesulfonic acid (MSA), trifluoroacetic acid (TFA), citric acid, hydrochloric acid (HCl), sulfuric acid (H2SO4), and phosphoric acid (H3PO4).

[0050] This reaction can be carried out over a relatively wide temperature range. The reaction generally takes place at temperatures between 0°C and 80°C. Preferably, the reaction takes place between approximately 20°C and 65°C.

[0051] Step 3

[0052] Compound 4 is then converted to the ester and ketal corresponding to Compound 4 using an alcoholic solvent, an acid catalyst, and optionally a drying agent, in the presence of trialkyl orthoformate. In some embodiments, the alcoholic solvent is C 1-6 The solvent is an alcohol (e.g., methanol, ethanol, propanol, butanol, pentanol, and hexanol). The acid catalyst may be selected from HCl, chlorotrimethylsilane (TMSCl), pyridinium p-toluenesulfonate (PPTS), and p-toluenesulfonic acid (PTSA), and if a drying agent is required, it may be selected from Na2SO4 and MgSO4, and the trialkyl orthoformate may be selected from, but is not limited to, trimethyl orthoformate (TMOF) and triethyl orthoformate (TEOF).

[0053] Step 4

[0054] The ester of compound 5 is then hydrolyzed under basic conditions in the presence of water and a suitable organic solvent (e.g., toluene, NMP) that is stable under basic conditions. The suitable base is Li + na + , K + , Cs + or NH4 + This is a hydroxide with a countercation. Examples of countercation-associated hydroxides include KOH, NaOH, and LiOH, although they are not limited to the following.

[0055] Step 5

[0056] The carboxylic acid of compound 6 is further reacted with an activator to form an active species that reacts directly with a chiral auxiliary, yielding compound 6a in the presence of a base. Typical activators include reagents such as acyl chloride (e.g., pivaloyl chloride), isopropyl chloride, acid anhydrides (e.g., pivalic anhydride, isopropyl anhydride), or oxalyl chloride and sulfonyl chloride.

In one embodiment, the chirality enhancer is [ka] It is an oxazolidinone selected from the following.

[0058] The base can be selected from, for example, DIPEA, TEA, LDA, n-BuLi, sec-BuLi, or tert-BuLi, potassium tert-butoxide, in a suitable solvent, regardless of the presence of an inorganic salt (e.g., LiCl).

[0059] Step 6

[0060] Compound 6a is alkylated using an alkylating agent and a strong base to obtain compound 6b. Examples of activators include, but are not limited to, alkyl halides, dialkyl sulfates, and trialkyloxonium tetrafluoroborates. Preferably, the alkylating agent is methyl halide (e.g., MeI).

The solvent can be selected from ether solvents (THF, 2-Me-THF, MTBE, CPME), aromatic solvents (toluene), or polar aprotic solvents, or a combination thereof. The chiral additive is then removed under basic conditions using hydroxide bases (e.g., LiOH, NaOH, and KOH) to obtain compound 7.

[0061] Step 7

[0062] Compound 7 is isolated in a desired solvent as an amine base or an alkali salt of Na or K. Suitable bases are dibenzylamine, DABCO, dicyclohexylamine, ethanolamine, diethanolamine, imidazole, arginine, lysine, tromethamine, alanine, NaOH, KOH, and LiOH. Suitable solvents are ether solvents (THF, 2-Me-THF, MTBE, CPME), aromatic solvents (toluene), ketone solvents (acetone, MIBK, MEK), or ester solvents (RINKAN, PrOAc), acetonitrile, and alcohol solvents (MeOH, EtOH, IPA). Alternatively, compound 7 may be isolated as a free acid.

[0063] Step 8

[0064] Compound 7 is then reacted with compound 8 in the presence of a metal catalyst and a base to obtain compound 9. The metal catalyst is derived from Pd, Pt, Rh, Ru, Ir, Fe, Ni, or Cu. Ligands (e.g., phosphines, i.e., CX-A, XPhos, SPhos, Xantphos, DCEPhos) or N-heterocyclic carbenes (i.e., IMes, Ipr) can assist in this reaction. Suitable bases include organic bases (i.e., Et3N, DIPEA), inorganic bases (i.e., KOPiv, KOAc, K2CO3), or bases derived from inorganic bases and carboxylic acids (i.e., K2CO3 / PivOH, Cs2CO3 / PivOH, K2CO3 / PhCO2H). Suitable solvents are ether solvents (i.e., THF, 2-Me-THF, MTBE, CPME), aromatic solvents (i.e., toluene, benzene), or polar aprotic solvents (i.e., DMF, DMAc, NMP).

[0065] Step 9

[0066] The nitro group of compound 9 is reduced using a metal catalyst (e.g., Pd, Pt, Rh supported on carbon, aluminum oxide) in an ether solvent or an alcohol solvent in the presence of hydrogen gas or a hydrogen substitution reagent (e.g., ammonium formate or sodium formate) to form compound 10. Compound 9 can also react with HSiCl3 / DIPEA, SnCl2 or Na2S2O4 to give compound 10.

[0067] Step 10

[0068] Compound 10 is then subjected to macrocyclic lactamization using a suitable carboxyl activating agent and a base in a suitable solvent. Suitable coupling agents are any of the well-known coupling agents that couple an amine with an acid to form an amide. Examples of coupling agents include, but are not limited to, PyBOP, HATU / HOBt, EDAC, oxalyl chloride, acid anhydrides (e.g., pivalic anhydride), acid chlorides (e.g., pivaloyl chloride), or activators (e.g., DPPCL, DMC or TCFH). Suitable solvents typically include ether solvents (THF, 2-Me-THF, MTBE, CPME), aromatic solvents (toluene).

[0069] Step 11

[0070] In step 11, the ketone group of compound 11 is deprotected under acidic aqueous conditions to give compound 12. Examples of acids include, but are not limited to, HCl, HBr, and TFA.

[0071] Step 12

[0072] A reductive amination step is then performed on compound 12 to give compound 13. This transformation can be carried out using a reducing agent (e.g., BH3, NaBH3CN, Pd / C, Pt / C) in the presence of an amine donor (e.g., ammonia or an ammonium salt such as ammonium chloride), a hydrogen substitution salt (e.g., ammonium formate, or hydrogen gas if Pd / C or Pt / C is used).

[0073] Furthermore, reductive amination can also be obtained using aminotransferases in the presence of amine donors (e.g., isopropylamine, alanine, 3-aminobutyric acid, and methylbenzylamine) and cofactors (e.g., PLP). In the latter case, the preferred solvent is aqueous DMSO. Different recyclation systems (e.g., aminotransferase / lactate dehydrogenase / glucose dehydrogenase and aminotransferase / amino acid dehydrogenase / formate dehydrogenase) can be used. Examples of aminotransferases include, but are not limited to, ATA-113, ATA-200, ATA-237, ATA-251, ATA-254, ATA-256, and ATA-260.

[0074] The aminotransferases used in the processes of this disclosure generally contain amino acid sequences that are at least 80%, 85%, 86%, 87%, 88%, 89%, 90%, 91%, 92%, 93%, 94%, 95%, 96%, 97%, 98%, 99%, or more identical to a reference amino acid sequence selected from one of ATA-113, ATA-200, ATA-237, ATA-251, ATA-254, ATA-256, and ATA-260. In some embodiments, the aminotransferase is a recombinant aminotransferase polypeptide having an amino acid sequence in which one or more amino acid residues differ from the reference sequence (e.g., ATA-113, ATA-200, ATA-237, ATA-251, ATA-254, ATA-256, and ATA-260). In some embodiments, the polynucleotides that can be hybridized under very harsh conditions match the reference sequence (e.g., ATA-113, ATA-200, ATA-237, ATA-251, ATA-254, ATA-256, and ATA-260) in the proportions described above, with one or more residues encoding different aminotransferase polypeptides.

[0075] In the process described herein, an aminotransferase uses an amine donor to form the product compound. In some embodiments, the amine donor in the reaction conditions includes isopropylamine (also referred to herein as "IPM") or a compound selected from any other suitable amine donor used in the reaction of interest. In some embodiments, the amine donor is IPM.

[0076] Furthermore, appropriate reaction conditions for this process generally involve the presence of a cofactor in the reaction mixture. Since aminotransferases generally use members of the vitamin B6 family, the reaction conditions include a cofactor selected from pyridoxal-5'-phosphate (also known as pyridoxal phosphate, PLP, or P5P), pyridoxine (PN), pyridoxal (PL), pyridoxamine (PM), and their phosphorylated forms; pyridoxine phosphate (PNP), and pyridoxamine phosphate (PMP). In some embodiments, appropriate reaction conditions may include a cofactor selected from PLP, PN, PL, PM, PNP, and PMP. In some embodiments, the cofactor is PLP.

[0077] Step 13

[0078] Compound 13 ultimately couples with compound 14 to obtain compound (I), as shown in WO 2015 / 116886.

[0079] In the process described above, additional steps may be taken between steps 1-13. Furthermore, in schemes 1 and 2, different synthetic routes may also be used to produce key intermediates. Scheme 3 shows an alternative method for producing a specific example of compound 7 (scheme 1) as compound 21. [ka]

[0080] Compound 15 can be coupled with 3-chloro-1,1-dimethoxypropane, 3-bromo-1,1-dimethoxypropane, or 3-iodo-1,1-dimethoxypropane in a suitable solvent (e.g., THF) in the presence of a metal (e.g., Mg) and an initiator (e.g., I2) to form compound 16. Subsequently, compound 17 can be obtained by ketal hydrolysis using an organic acid (e.g., TFA, MSA, BSA, PTSA, PPTS) or an inorganic acid (e.g., HCl, HBr) in the presence of water and a suitable solvent. Next, the aldehyde of compound 17 is reacted with a triphenylphosphonium ylide (e.g., methyl 2-(triphenylphosphoranylidene)propanoate or ethyl 2-(triphenylphosphoranylidene)propanoate), or in a suitable solvent in the presence of a base (e.g., NaH or KOtBu), with a phosphonate derivative (e.g., methyl 2-(diethoxyphosphoryl)propanoate or ethyl 2-(diethoxyphosphoryl)propanoate) to obtain compound 18. Then, the ketone of compound 18 is reacted with an alcoholic solvent (e.g., C 1-6 The compounds are protected with an alcohol, an acid as a catalyst (e.g., HCl, chlorotrimethylsilane (TMSCl), pyridinium p-toluenesulfonate (PPTS), p-toluenesulfonic acid (PTSA)), and a drying agent as appropriate (e.g., Na2SO4, MgSO4, trimethyl orthoformate (TMOF), or triethyl orthoformate (TEOF)) to convert them to the corresponding ketal compound 19. The ester is then hydrolyzed under basic conditions in the presence of water to obtain compound 20. Suitable bases include Li + na + , K + , Cs + NH4 + There are hydroxides that use as a countercation. Finally, the olefin of compound 20 is reduced using a metal catalyst in the presence of H2 to obtain compound 21. The metal is preferably Ru or Rh. Chirality at the methyl carbon center is introduced by the use of a suitable chiral ligand. Alternatively, compound 19 can be reduced by treatment with an enreductase enzyme and ester hydrolysis under basic conditions.

[0081] Compound 19 can be prepared by another condensation (Scheme 4). [ka]

[0082] Compound 38 may be formed by coupling aldehyde 37 with a triphenylphosphonium ylide (e.g., methyl 2-(triphenylphosphoranylidene)propanoate or ethyl 2-(triphenylphosphoranylidene)propanoate), or by reacting it with a phosphonate derivative (e.g., methyl 2-(diethoxyphosphoryl)propanoate or ethyl 2-(diethoxyphosphoryl)propanoate) in a suitable solvent in the presence of a base (e.g., NaH or KOtBu) to obtain compound 38. The obtained bisester 38 is reacted with compound 2 having the structure of compound 2a in a suitable solvent in the presence of a base (e.g., LiHMDS, LDA, tBuOK) to obtain compound 39. This compound is further decarboxylated in a suitable solvent in the presence of an acid (e.g., HCl, MSA, H3PO4) to obtain compound 18a, which is then converted to compound 19 by the method described above.

[0083] In another embodiment, compound 21 may be obtained starting from a cyclopentane ester derivative (Scheme 5). [ka]

[0084] Compound 40 is formed by coupling a cyclopentane ester derivative with formaldehyde and a dialkylamine. Further treatment under basic conditions yields compound 41, a diacid derivative. After esterification to form compound 42, it is coupled with compound 2a and treated with acid to obtain compound 18b, an acrylic acid derivative. The ketone of compound 18b is then treated with an alcoholic solvent (e.g., C 1-6Alcohol), an acid catalyst (e.g., HCl, chlorotrimethylsilane (TMSCl), pyridinium p-toluenesulfonate (PPTS), p-toluenesulfonic acid (PTSA)), and optionally a drying agent (e.g., Na2SO4, MgSO4, trimethyl orthoformate (TMOF) or triethyl orthoformate (TEOF)) are used for protection to obtain the corresponding ketal. Next, the ester is hydrolyzed under basic conditions in the presence of water to obtain Compound 20b. Suitable bases include hydroxides or free carboxylic acids having Li + 、Na + 、K + 、Cs + 、NH4 + as the counter cation. Finally, the olefin of Compound 20b is reduced using a metal catalyst in the presence of H2 to give Compound 21. The metal is preferably Ru or Rh. The chirality at the methyl carbon center is introduced by the use of a suitable chiral ligand. Alternatively, the desired enantiomer may be obtained by treating with an ene reductase enzyme.

[0085] In another embodiment, Compounds 7 (Scheme 1) and 27 (Scheme 7) of specific examples that can be produced by enzymatic resolution are shown in Reaction Schemes 6 and 7.

Chemical formula

[0086] Compound 22 and 2 are reacted under basic conditions in a suitable solvent to obtain Compound 23. Li + 、Na + 、K +A base such as an alkoxide (methoxide, ethoxide, tert-butoxide, amylate, tert-amylate) with the countercation is suitable as a solvent (e.g., ether solvents (THF, 2-MeTHF, MTBE, CPME), aromatic solvents (toluene), or dipolar aprotic solvents). Compound 24 is obtained by the reverse Claisen reaction of compound 23 under acidic conditions or in an acidic aqueous solution. Suitable acids include, but are not limited to, H2SO4, MSA, BSA, nitric acid, TFA, or perchloric acid.

[0087] Next, compound 24 is dissolved in an alcohol-based solvent (C 1-6 The corresponding ester and ketal compounds 25 are converted using an alcohol, an acid catalyst (for example, but not limited to, HCl, chlorotrimethylsilane (TMSCl), pyridinium p-toluenesulfonate (PPTS), p-toluenesulfonic acid (PTSA)), and, as appropriate, a drying agent (for example, Na2SO4, MgSO4, and trialkyl orthoformate (for example, trimethyl orthoformate (TMOF) or triethyl orthoformate (TEOF))).

[0088] Next, compound 25 is divided using an enzyme as shown in Scheme 7. [ka]

[0089] The racemic compound 25 is divided using an enzyme. The unwanted enantiomer in compound 25 of the racemic mixture is hydrolyzed while the desired enantiomer compound 26 remains unreacted. Compound 26 is then hydrolyzed with a basic aqueous solution (e.g., NaOH) to obtain compound 27. Preferably, the hydrolytic enzyme is lipase MH Amano 10 SD, which exhibits high selectivity (enantiomer excess >90%).

[0090] In method B, the racemic compound 25 is resolved using an enzyme. With some of the unwanted enantiomers remaining unreacted, the desired enantiomer in the racemic mixture compound 25 is hydrolyzed to obtain compound 27.

[0091] In method C, the unreacted and unwanted enantiomer compound S-26 produced in method B is racemized in the presence of a base to form compound 25, which is used as a starting material in either method A or method B.

[0092] In another embodiment, intermediate compound 10 is produced by the method shown in Scheme 8, which is different from Scheme 1. [ka]

[0093] Step 1

[0094] Compound 28 is coupled with silyl-protected acetylene in a strong base and a suitable solvent to obtain compound 29. The base may be a strong lithium base (e.g., an alkyllithium base or an aryllithium base). Examples of alkyllithium bases and aryllithium bases include, but are not limited to, methyllithium, n-butyllithium, sec-butyllithium, tert-butyllithium, and phenyllithium. The solvent may be an ether-based solvent (e.g., THF).

[0095] Step 2 Next, the ketone portion is treated with an alcohol-based solvent (C 1-6 The compounds are protected as corresponding ketals using an alcohol, an acid catalyst (e.g., HCl, chlorotrimethylsilane (TMSCl), pyridinium p-toluenesulfonate (PPTS), p-toluenesulfonic acid (PTSA)), and a suitable drying agent (e.g., Na2SO4, MgSO4), and a trialkyl orthoformate (e.g., trimethyl orthoformate (TMOF) or triethyl orthoformate (TEOF)). The protected silyl groups are then deprotected in a suitable solvent (e.g., THF, 2-MeTHF) using a fluorine source (e.g., TBAF, HF·TEA, HF) to obtain compound 30.

[0096] Step 3

[0097] Next, the triple bond of compound 30 is converted to the corresponding vinyl halide compound 31 in a two-step process using LiAl(OtBu)3H / Cp2ZrCl2 followed by a halide donor (e.g., N-chlorosuccinimide, N-bromosuccinimide, or N-iodosuccinimide).

[0098] Step 4

[0099] Next, compound 31 is cross-coupled with commercially available (S)-(-)-3-methoxy-2-methyl-3-oxopropylzinc bromide using a metal catalyst to obtain compound 32. Examples of metal catalysts include, but are not limited to, Pd(II) salts (e.g., PdCl2, Pd(OAc)2) or coordination metals (e.g., 1,1'-bis(di-tert-butylphosphin)ferrocenedichloropalladium).

[0100] Step 5

[0101] Compound 32 is then reacted with compound 8 in the presence of a metal catalyst and a base to obtain compound 33. The metal catalyst can be derived from Pd, Pt, Rh, Ru, Ir, Fe, Ni, or Cu. Ligands (e.g., phosphines, i.e., CX-A, XPhos, SPhos, Xantphos, DCEPhos) or N-heterocyclic carbenes (i.e., IMes, Ipr) can assist in this reaction. Suitable bases include organic bases (i.e., Et3N, DIPEA), inorganic bases (i.e., KOPiv, KOAc, K2CO3), or bases derived from inorganic bases and carboxylic acids (i.e., K2CO3 / PivOH, Cs2CO3 / PivOH, K2CO3 / PhCO2H). Suitable solvents are ether-based solvents (i.e., THF, 2-Me-THF, MTBE, CPME), aromatic solvents (i.e., toluene, benzene), or polar aprotic solvents (i.e., DMF, DMAc, NMP).

[0102] Step 6

[0103] Next, compound 33 is reduced under reducing conditions to remove the double bond and nitro group, and then the methyl ester is hydrolyzed to obtain compound 10. Reduction is effective when using a metal (e.g., Pd or Pt) in the presence of hydrogen gas in a protic solvent (e.g., MeOH, EtOH, IPA). Ester hydrolysis occurs by treating the methyl ester with a hydroxide base (e.g., LiOH, NaOH, KOH) in the presence of water or water and a miscible organic solvent. [ka]

[0104] Step 1

[0105] Compound 45 can be synthesized from compounds 43 and 44 under appropriate Suzuki coupling conditions, for example, in a suitable solvent (e.g., methanol, DMF, or acetonitrile) in the presence of an appropriate level of palladium catalyst (e.g., Pd(PPh3)4, Pd(OAc)2, or Pd(dppf)Cl2-DCM complex).

[0106] Steps 2 and 3

[0107] Compound 46 is obtained by azidation followed by a click reaction with a suitable acetylene compound. Compound 45 is treated under azidation conditions (e.g., TMSN3 / tBuONO) to obtain an intermediate azide, which is then reacted with trimethylsilylacetylene in the presence of a copper(I) catalyst (e.g., CuOAc or copper(I) iodide) to obtain triazole compound 46.

[0108] Step 4

[0109] Compound 47 is obtained by reacting silyl compound 46 with 1,3-dichloro-5,5-dimethylhydantoin in a suitable solvent. Suitable solvents include polar aprotic solvents (e.g., THF or DMF).

[0110] Step 5

[0111] Compound 14 is obtained by reacting compound 47 in hydrochloric acid (e.g., concentrated hydrochloric acid).

An embodiment of General Scheme 2 that forms compound (I) is described in Examples 5-12 below. [ka] Example 1 Synthesis of compound 3a-Cl [ka]

[0164] Compound 2a (540 g, 3053 mmol, limiting reagent) was added to a 20 L reaction vessel fitted with a nitrogen inlet, temperature probe, and overhead stirrer, followed by THF (4500 mL), and the mixture was stirred to dissolve compound 2a. Compound 1 (287.4 g, 3382 mmol, 1.2 equivalents) was then added, followed by rinsing with THF (50 mL).

[0165] This solution was cooled to -35°C in a condenser. Then, potassium tert-butoxide / THF solution (1M, 3650 mL, 1.3 equivalents) was slowly added, ensuring that the temperature did not exceed -30°C.

[0166] The reaction mixture was kept at -35 to -30°C for 1 hour until the reaction was complete. Water (3635 mL) was added to another 20 L reaction vessel, followed by concentrated sulfuric acid (193.3 g, 0.69 equivalents). The temperature of the reaction vessel was set to 10°C, and the reaction mixture was cooled to 12°C. The cooling solution from the aforementioned cold container (-35 to -30°C) was added to the 20 L reaction vessel containing the cold H2SO4 aqueous solution using a transport tube, while maintaining the temperature below 10°C. After the transfer was complete, the THF was then distilled under vacuum at 20 to 25°C until the volume was reduced to ~7.5 L. At this point, a solid was formed. The slurry was filtered and washed with water (2000 mL, 3.7 V). Compound 3a-Cl[1,061 g] was obtained as a yellowish-brown solid.

[0176] Compound 6a (87.88 g, 305 mmol, limiting reagent) was added to a reaction vessel (2 L, chem-glass), followed by the addition of anhydrous THF (1760 mL). The THF was distilled until it reached 10 Vol. The KF of the solution was less than 200 ppm. Further addition of THF (880 mL) was added with triethylamine (CAS: 121-44-8, 106.4 mL, 2.5 equivalents). The solution was cooled to 0°C, and pivaloyl chloride (CAS: 3282-30-2, 44.13 g, 1.2 equivalents) was added via a dropping funnel at a rate that did not exceed 5°C. After 30 minutes, lithium chloride (16.16 g, 1.2 equivalents) was added. After aging for 15 minutes, the chiral additive (CAS: 102049-44-7, 64.86 g, 1.2 equivalents) was added all at once in solid form. The slurry was heated to 20°C over 3 hours and left overnight. The THF was then distilled under reduced pressure until the final volume was 800 mL. Toluene (530 mL) was added, followed by saturated NH4Cl aqueous solution (270 mL) and water (270 mL). After mixing for 15 minutes, the two phases separated, and the lower aqueous layer was removed. The organic layer was washed with 7 wt% NaHCO3 (270 mL) and water (270 mL). After phase separation, the lower aqueous layer was removed. The organic layer was distilled until the volume was 220 mL. Anhydrous THF (1860 mL) was then added. This solution was passed through a 0.45 micropolish and filtered.

[0177] The solution containing compound 35 was then cooled to -45°C, methyl iodide (95.4 g, 2.2 equivalents) was added, followed by 1N NaHMDS / THF (458 mL, 1.5 equivalents) at a rate such that the temperature did not exceed -39°C. The reaction was continued for 6 hours. The resulting reaction mixture was then neutralized in one step with a solution of acetic acid (29.30 g, 1.6 equivalents) / anhydrous THF (88 mL). The organic reaction mixture was washed with a 14 wt% NaCl solution (530 mL), followed by a 7.0 wt% NaHCO3 solution (530 mL). After washing, the organic solution containing compound 36 was concentrated to 220 mL.

[0178] THF (880 mL) was added, and the solution was cooled to 0°C. A 30 wt% H2O2 solution (64.18 g, 1.82 equivalents) was then added, followed by a lithium hydroxide solution (12.42 g / 110 mL of water) over 10 minutes. After 6 hours of reaction, a 10 wt% sodium bisulfite solution (63.48 g, 2.0 equivalents / 580 mL of water) was added. The mixture was aged for 1 hour. The THF was then removed by distillation until the volume was reduced to ~700 mL, and the solution was recovered.

[0179] The pH was then adjusted to approximately 9.5 using NaOH (10N). Toluene (540 mL) was added. The two-phase mixture was mixed for 15 minutes and then allowed to stand. The separated organic layer was further extracted with saturated NaHCO3 (360 mL). The combined aqueous layer was returned to the reaction vessel and extracted with MTBE (720 mL). The organic layer was removed.

[0180] The aqueous layer containing a large amount of product, including compound 7a, was returned to the reaction vessel, and MTBE (900 mL) was added. The pH was adjusted to 4.4 using citric acid.

[0181] MTBE was removed by distillation and replaced with MeCN / MTBE (4:1, 6 vol) based on the amount of compound 7a added (corrected effective amount). The resulting solution was filtered by polish filtration. Dicyclohexylamine (up to 1.5 equivalents relative to compound 7a) was then added all at once. The slurry was heated to 55°C and reacted for 30 minutes. The reaction mixture was then cooled to 0°C. The slurry was filtered using a Buchner funnel under N2 protection, washed with cold MeCN (2.0 vol) at 0°C, vacuum dried, and then dried in a vacuum oven at 50°C for 24 hours. Compound 7a-DCHA was obtained as 61 g of white solid (yield 88.2% in the salt formation step, and 61.6% in the total yield obtained from compound 6a over all 4 steps). Compound 7 is a complex of compound 7:dicyclohexylamine in a 1:1.5 ratio.

After 30 minutes, KOPiv (32.3 g, 1.3 equivalents) was added to the solution all at once, and the reaction vessel was rinsed with 2-MeTHF (500 mL) that had been bubbling with N2 for 30 minutes. This solution was refluxed under N2 for 10 hours to obtain a black suspension. The obtained crude product was cooled to 20°C and quenched with K3PO4 (550 mL, 20% aqueous solution) to a pH of 10.0–10.5. The aqueous layer was separated, and the organic layer was washed with K3PO4-K2HPO4 buffer solution (800 mL, pH 10.2 aqueous solution). The aqueous layers were combined and filtered to obtain a dark-colored solution. 2-MeTHF (1300 mL) and activated carbon (13.9 g, Darco G-60) were added to the aqueous solution, and citric acid (254 g, 3.4 equivalents) was gradually added to the solution over 30 minutes to acidify the pH to 5–6. This suspension was stirred at 20°C for 30 minutes. The suspension was filtered, and the organic layer was concentrated under reduced pressure to 300 mL, then concentrated under reduced pressure at 80°C (150 mbar), and the solvent was replaced with nBuOH (1000 mL). The concentration of the obtained solution was adjusted to 170-180 mg / mL (less than 5% by mass of 2-MeTHF in 500 mL of solution). This solution was gradually cooled to 0°C over 10 hours and maintained at 0°C for another 10 hours to obtain a white slurry. The slurry was filtered through a Nutsche filter, the reaction vessel was rinsed with nBuOH (100 mL), and a cake was obtained from the resulting suspension.

[0198] A reaction vessel (125 mL) equipped with a water circulator was used to maintain the reaction temperature at 35°C throughout the series of reactions. When adding the 4 M isopropylamine aqueous solution to the reaction vessel, the pH was controlled to 7.5 using a calibrated pH meter. Ketone compound 12 (5.0 g, 50 g / L), DMSO (30 mL, 30%), and pyridoxal-5'-phosphate monohydrate (53 mg, final concentration 2.0 mM) were added to the reaction vessel. A 1 M isopropylamine hydrochloride aqueous solution was prepared and 63 mL was added to the reaction vessel (final concentration 0.7 M). The reaction mixture was stirred for 2.0 minutes. The resulting reaction solution was heterogeneous. Aminotransferase: ATA-237 (0.5 g) was dissolved in 1 M isopropylamine hydrochloride solution (4.0 mL) and added to the reaction vessel. Furthermore, the container that held the enzyme was rinsed with 1 M isopropylamine hydrochloride solution (3.0 mL) and added to the same reaction vessel. The sample (20 μL) was pipetteed, diluted with methanol (980 μL), vortexed, centrifuged at 14000 x g for 2.0 minutes, filtered through a PTFE filter (0.2 μM), and the conversion rate and ee were analyzed by HPLC.

After filtration, the reaction vessel and Celite pad were rinsed with water (30 mL), and the solution was collected together with the filtrate. The reaction mixture was extracted with 2-methyltetrahydrofuran (130 mL), and the 2-methyltetrahydrofuran solution was removed. The pH of the aqueous layer was adjusted to 10.5 with 10N sodium hydroxide (4.4 mL). The aqueous layer (152 mL) was extracted with n-butanol (150 mL), and the layers were separated (organic layer volume: 190 mL, aqueous layer volume: 105 mL).

[0208] Magnesium (8.73 g, 359 mmol, 1.35 equivalents) and I2 crystals were added to a three-necked flask (1 L). Anhydrous THF (100 mL) was added to the reaction flask under N2 conditions. The reaction temperature was monitored with a thermometer (J-CEM). 3-Bromo-1,1-dimethoxypropane (65.8 g, 356 mmol, 1.35 equivalents) was diluted with THF (150 mL) and added to a dropping funnel. 3-Bromo-1,1-dimethoxypropane solution (20 mL) was added to the flask at 20°C, and the resulting light brown suspension was vigorously stirred using a stirring bar and rotating magnesium pieces to allow the reaction to proceed. After 30 minutes, the light brown color disappeared, and the solution temperature rose to 45-50°C. The resulting reaction mixture was then maintained at a temperature of 55-62°C, and 3-Bromo-1,1-dimethoxypropane solution was slowly added from the dropping funnel. After 1.5 hours, the dropwise addition was complete, and the entire solution was held at 60°C for a further 2 hours. The solution was placed in a water bath and cooled to 25°C. 4-Chloro-N-methoxy-N-methylpyridine-2-carboxamide; compound 15 (53.3 g, 264 mmol, 1.0 equivalent) / THF (150 mL) was added to the dropping funnel. The substrate in the solution was added to the Grignard solution within 20 minutes to obtain a reddish-yellow solution. The internal temperature was kept below a maximum of 35°C. After 15 minutes, both HPLC and TLC indicated completion of the reaction. Water (20 mL) was slowly added to the crude mixture, and a brownish gel-like solid precipitated. The entire crude product was filtered through Celite and washed twice with THF (total 100 mL). The obtained crude solution was dried over Na2SO4. The obtained crude product was concentrated under vacuum at 30-35°C to obtain compound 16 as a yellow oily substance.

[0209] Addendum: The obtained crude product could be used in the next reaction without purification. Spectral analysis: The obtained crude product was then purified using the ISCO purification system (hexane / EA 1:0~10:1) to obtain the desired product.

[0212] Compound 16 (7.61 g, 38.5 mmol, 1 equivalent) was diluted with water (20 mL) and THF (80 mL) at 20°C in a round-bottom flask (250 mL). Trifluoroacetic acid (8.5 mL, 110 mmol, 2.7 equivalents) was added to this solution at room temperature. The solution was immediately heated to 50°C. After 4 hours, the solution turned dark brown, indicating completion of the reaction by HPLC and TLC. Water (60 mL) was then added to the flask. Slowly, sodium bicarbonate (9.6 g, 114 mmol, 2.8 equivalents) was added to the resulting crude product at 25°C to neutralize the solvent to pH 7. The crude product was extracted three times with SiO2 (100 mL), and the combined organic crude product was washed once with saline solution (50 mL) and dried over Na2SO4. The crude product was filtered and concentrated to a dark oily substance, which was used directly in the next step. To the obtained crude product, CH2Cl2 (75 mL) was added at 20°C. Ethyl 2-(triphenylphosphoranylidene)propionate (14.2 g, 38.2 mmol, 0.93 equivalents) was added all at once to the solution containing compound 17. This reaction mixture was kept at 20°C for 8 hours.
