AI Technical Summary
In the existing technology, the preparation of GLP-1 receptor agonist compound I has problems such as complicated reaction steps, easy chiral configuration reversal, low yield and low purity. In particular, during the hydrolysis of ester group and amide bond, the content of isomer impurities is high, which affects the product quality.
By replacing intermediate A with intermediate 3, the preparation method of compound 2 was optimized through stepwise hydrolysis and asymmetric reduction reactions using a specific combination of inorganic base and organic acid. Furthermore, the reducing agent composition MBH(RCOO)3 and zinc borohydride were added during the reduction process of compound 2 to increase steric hindrance and improve selectivity.
It effectively reduced the content of chiral isomers, improved the yield and purity of compound I, made it suitable for industrial production, and significantly improved product quality.
