Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of organic synthesis, in particular to a method for synthesizing phosphate fatty alkanoic acid and an intermediate thereof. Background Art
[0002] In the 1980s, scientists discovered glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1). In 2005, the GLP-1 analog exenatide was approved for marketing by the US FDA, but it required two injections a day, resulting in poor patient compliance. In 2010, the FDA approved the world's second GLP-1 drug, liraglutide, for once-daily injection. In 2017, semaglutide was approved by the US FDA for once-weekly injection. In 2023, the world's first dual-target agonist telpotide was approved by the FDA for once-weekly injection. In 2019, the FDA-approved oral semaglutide formulation Rybelsus (for diabetes) became the only approved oral GLP-1 drug in the world.
[0003] GLP-1 drugs have demonstrated great clinical demand and value, and are currently being actively expanded to include dozens of indications, which is expected to address more clinical needs.
[0004] After decades of development, GLP-1 drugs have been marketed for more than a dozen drugs and hundreds of drugs are in clinical research, but most of them are injections, and only the oral formulation of semaglutide, Rybelsus, is on the market. Compared with injections, oral administration is more convenient, has better compliance, and can also avoid the so-called "needle phobia" of some patients, that is, they are very afraid of injecting themselves. However, there is only one oral GLP-1 drug.
[0005] VK2735, which is currently under clinical development, has attracted widespread attention due to its excellent effectiveness and safety, and the fact that it has two dosage forms, injection and oral, under development. Compared with previous GLP-1 drugs, the core of VK2735 is to convert the terminal carboxyl group of the side chain into a phosphate group, making it more drugable. Patent application WO2022159395A1 discloses the synthesis route of the side chain 19-benzyl phosphate nonadecanoic acid, without a detailed description of the process. The process route in this patent application has obvious shortcomings. It uses the Witting reaction and adopts a twelve-plus-seven method to grow the carbon chain; heavy metal oxidant PCC is used in this method to prepare fatty aldehydes, and the instability of fatty aldehydes leads to low utilization of atoms in the witting reaction; and the product obtained by the Witting reaction requires palladium carbon reduction, which is costly and has certain risks.

When tetrahydrofuran is used as a solvent, its solubility for salt is poor, resulting in unsatisfactory reaction results, with only a small amount of product and most of the substrate, so it is not used.
[0092] Comparative Example 6-2 When N=15, add 50g (114 mmol, 1 eq) of A1-06 to 500mL of DMF, add 38.9g (148mmol, 1.3 eq) of dibenzyl phosphite (add 35.5g (135 mmol, 1.3 eq) of dibenzyl phosphite when R1 is tert-butyl), then add 25.5g (209 mmol, 1.8eq) of potassium tert-butoxide (add 23.3g (191 mmol, 1.8eq) of potassium tert-butoxide when R1 is tert-butyl), and react at 25°C for 16 hours.
