Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to a method for preparing homomorpholine-5-carboxylic acid, specifically to a method for preparing chiral homomorpholine-5-carboxylic acid and fluorenemethyloxycarbonyl (Fmoc) derivatives. Background Technology
[0002] 1,4-oxazepane-5-carboxylic acid is a chiral amino acid containing a 7-membered heteroatom ring and is an important intermediate in organic chemical synthesis. A series of compounds containing the 1,4-oxazepane-5-carboxylic acid structure have been reported in patents US2019 / 119298 and CA2813911, showing potential applications in the treatment of mental illnesses, agricultural pesticides, and other fields.
[0003] The synthetic method of homorpholine-5-carboxylate is reported in patent US2019 / 119298, and the route is as follows:
[0004]
[0005] This route starts with 1,4-oxazolidinyl hepta-5-one, followed by benzyloxycarbonyl (Cbz) protection, phosphorylation, and palladium-catalyzed carbonyl insertion to yield benzyloxycarbonyl-protected methyl holomorpholino-5-carboxylate. Finally, palladium-carbon-catalyzed hydrogenation reduction yields racemic methyl holomorpholino-5-carboxylate. Although the route is relatively short, each step is quite unique, utilizing flammable and explosive organometallic reagents such as n-butyllithium and potassium hexamethyldisilazane (KHMDS), as well as expensive reagents like palladium catalysts and phosphorus ligands, ultimately yielding only racemic amino acids.
[0006] As a special type of chiral amino acid, it has special significance in drug research. However, there is currently a lack of industrial-scale preparation methods for chiral homorpholine-5-carboxylic acid and its fluorene methoxycarbonyl derivatives. Summary of the Invention
[0007] The purpose of this invention is to overcome the limitations of current technology, which can only synthesize racemic holomorpholine-5-carboxylic acid, and to provide a method for synthesizing chiral holomorpholine-5-carboxylic acid and its fluorene methoxycarbonyl derivatives. The technical solution of this invention is as follows: a method for preparing chiral holomorpholine-5-carboxylic acid and its fluorene methoxycarbonyl derivatives, comprising the following steps: condensation of benzyloxyethyloxyethyl bromide and diethyl 2-acetaminomalonate, hydrolysis to obtain acetyl amino acid (compound I), enzymatic separation to obtain L-amino acid (compound II) and D-acetyl amino acid (compound III), L-amino acid (compound II) after Boc protection and methyl esterification, followed by debenzylation, sulfonation, and iodination to obtain protected iodoamino acid (compound V), further deprotection followed by cyclization under alkaline conditions to obtain chiral holomorpholine-5-carboxylic acid (compound VII), and finally Fmoc protection to obtain Fmoc-(S)-holomorpholine-5-carboxylic acid (compound VIII).
