Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of chemical pharmaceuticals and relates to a chiral resolution method for brivacertan, specifically a chiral resolution method for brivacertan and its diastereomer (R)-2-((R)-2-oxo-4-propylpyrrolidine-1-yl)butyramide. Background Technology

[0002] Brivaracetam, chemically known as (S)-2-((R)-2-oxo-4-propylpyrrolidine-1-yl)butyramide, is a third-generation antiepileptic drug developed by UCB in Belgium. Clinically, it is primarily used to treat partial-onset epilepsy in patients aged 16 years and older, as adjunctive therapy with or without secondary generalized seizures. The structural formula of brivaracetam is shown in Formula 1 below.

[0003]

[0004] In the preparation of buvasidan, since buvasidan and its diastereomeric isomer formula 4 have similar physicochemical properties, how to easily and efficiently separate buvasidan from its diastereomeric isomer is the key technology and challenge in the preparation of buvasidan.

[0005]

[0006] The only reported separation and purification method in the literature is column chromatography (see WO2005028435), which uses a chiral stationary phase of chiralpak AD20µm and a mobile phase of n-heptane:ethanol = 45:55. While this method achieves high yields in separating brivacertan from its non-corresponding isomers, the column chromatography procedure is complex and costly, limiting its application to small-scale laboratory preparations and hindering industrial production.

[0007] Therefore, there is an urgent need in this field for a chiral separation method for Boissetan that has a high yield, high product purity, and is easy to operate and industrialize. Summary of the Invention

[0008] To overcome the cumbersome and costly nature of existing chiral resolution methods for buvasidan, and to achieve more economical industrial production using conventional chemical processes, the inventors have developed a simple process. This process involves the co-crystallization of compound (R,S)-2-((R)-2-oxo-4-propylpyrrolidine-1-yl)butyramide of formula 2 with D-tartaric acid to separate buvasidan from its diastereomers. Specifically, this invention employs the following technical solution.

[0009] A chiral decomposition method for Boiscitan includes the following steps:

[0010]

[0011] 1) In a solvent, compound (R,S)-2-((R)-2-oxo-4-propylpyrrolidine-1-yl)butyramide of formula 2 was co-crystallized with D-tartaric acid to obtain compound of formula 3;

[0012] 2) Compound of formula 3 is alkali-free to obtain compound of formula 1;

[0013] 3) In step 1), the other diastereomer of compound 4 is epimerized under the action of a base to obtain compound 2, which is then used to prepare compound 1.

[0014] There are no restrictions on the types of solvents mentioned, and they are conventional organic solvents in the art, such as alkanes, alkenes, alcohols, aldehydes, amines, esters, ethers, ketones, aromatic hydrocarbons, hydrogenated hydrocarbons, terpenes, halogenated hydrocarbons, heterocyclic compounds, nitrogen-containing compounds, and sulfur-containing compounds, etc.

[0015] Preferably, the solvent used in step 1) is selected from one or a mixture of two or more of toluene, ethyl acetate, isopropyl acetate, acetonitrile, acetone, isopropanol, methyl tert-butyl ether, n-heptane, methanol, ethanol, and dichloromethane, with toluene being the preferred solvent; the volume ratio of the solvent used to the mass ratio of the compound of formula 2 is 10-25:1, preferably 15-20:1.

[0016] Preferably, the molar ratio of D-tartaric acid used in step 1) to the compound of formula 2 is 0.5-2:1, more preferably 0.5-0.6:1.

[0017] The reaction temperature in step 1) is 15-100℃, preferably 20-50℃. Specifically, it is carried out as follows: The compound of formula 2 and the solvent are heated to 40-45℃ and stirred until the system is clear. Then, D-tartaric acid is added, and the mixture is kept warm and stirred for 30 min. The temperature is then lowered to 35-40℃ and stirred to induce crystallization for 1 h. The temperature is then lowered to 20-25℃ and stirred for 4 h. The mixture is then filtered and washed to obtain a white solid.

[0018] The alkali mentioned is a conventionally used alkali in this field.

[0019] Preferably, the free base in step 2) is sodium hydroxide, potassium hydroxide, sodium carbonate, sodium bicarbonate, potassium carbonate, potassium bicarbonate or a combination thereof, and more preferably sodium hydroxide; the mass molar ratio of the base to the compound of formula 3 is 0.5-3:1; preferably 1-2.5:1; the reaction temperature is 0-100℃, preferably 20-50℃.

[0020] The alkali release in step 2) is carried out as follows: After the compound of formula 3 and water are stirred evenly, sodium hydroxide solution is added at 20-30℃ to adjust the pH value to 6-7. Isopropyl acetate is added and stirred at below 40℃ until the solid is completely dissolved. The mixture is separated. The organic phase is washed with saturated brine and concentrated and dried under reduced pressure to obtain crude buvacertane.

[0021] Preferably, in the epimerization step 3), the base is selected from one or a combination of sodium tert-butoxide, potassium tert-butoxide, sodium methoxide, sodium hydroxide, and potassium hydroxide, with sodium tert-butoxide being more preferred; the reaction temperature has a very significant effect on the yield, the reaction temperature is 10-50℃, preferably 20-30℃; the reaction time is 2-10h, preferably 4-6h.

[0022] The post-processing steps 1), 2), and 3) may further include a recrystallization step, which can be performed according to conventional recrystallization methods in the art.

[0023] Compared with existing technologies, step 1) uses D-tartaric acid as a resolving agent. Brivaracetam is separated from the diastereomer by precipitating a cocrystallized compound with D-tartaric acid. The precipitated cocrystallized compound is then freed in alkaline solution to obtain brivaracetam. This separation and purification method avoids the costly column chromatography operation.

[0024] Following the separation process in step 1), in order to reuse the remaining diastereomer, namely compound (R)-2-((R)-2-oxo-4-propylpyrrolidine-1-yl)butyramide of formula 4, the compound of formula 4 is epimerized, so that the diastereomer, after the above treatment, becomes the initial starting material compound of formula 2 for further separation and purification. This cyclical reaction achieves the goal of reducing production costs.

[0025] The buvacertan prepared using the above-described technical solution not only boasts high yield and high purity, but the application of a recycling reaction avoids resource waste and improves atom economy. The entire process route is very simple and significantly reduces production costs, making it suitable for industrial production. Detailed Implementation
