Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of organic synthesis and bio-enzyme catalysis technology, and relates to a sitafloxacin intermediate and its enzymatic preparation method and application, especially to an enzymatic synthesis method of sitafloxacin intermediate (7S)-5-azaspiro[2.4]heptane-7-ylcarbamate tert-butyl ester. Background Technology

[0002] Sitafloxacin belongs to the fourth-generation quinolone broad-spectrum antibacterial drug class and is approved for the treatment of various infectious diseases such as community-acquired pneumonia, urinary tract infections, bacterial prostatitis, and abdominal infections. Its antibacterial spectrum covers common pathogens. The amino substitution at the 5-position enhances antibacterial activity, the 2,4-difluorophenyl at the 7-position improves lipid solubility and tissue penetration, and the cyclopropyl group at the 1-position maintains broad-spectrum activity. The synergistic effect of these three substances solves the technical pain points of traditional quinolone drugs, such as insufficient activity against Gram-positive bacteria, ineffectiveness against anaerobic bacteria, and rapid drug resistance. However, the synthesis process of its chiral intermediate (7S)-5-azaspiro[2.4]heptane-7-ylcarbamate tert-butyl ester has defects: the existing synthetic routes have problems such as cumbersome steps, harsh reaction conditions, difficulty in separating intermediates, and low yield. There is a lack of green and efficient chiral synthetic processes. Therefore, the industry urgently needs to develop a low-cost, highly stereoselective, and scale-up chiral synthesis method for the sitafloxacin intermediate (7S)-5-azaspiro[2.4]heptane-7-ylcarbamate tert-butyl ester.

[0003] Currently, there are several methods for synthesizing (7S)-5-azaspiro[2.4]heptane-7-ylcarbamate tert-butyl ester:

[0004] Method 1: First synthesize the racemic mixture, and then resolve it to obtain a single configuration compound. This method wastes more than half of the other chiral compound and requires multiple resolutions to achieve a high ee value.

[0005] Method 2 uses a catalyst to directly reduce chiral amines, but the reduction efficiency is not high, with an ee value of only 53% (JP2004099609A), and the difficulty of chiral separation still exists in the later stages.

[0006]

[0007] Where R1 represents a hydrogen atom or a protecting group of an amino group, and R2 is a protecting group of an amino group.

[0008] Method 3 uses carbonyl reductase (brewer's yeast) to reduce chiral alcohols, followed by a Mitsunobu reaction to obtain chiral amines. However, this method has low reduction volume efficiency and is difficult to scale up. Furthermore, the presence of large amounts of phosphonotrioxide not only complicates post-processing but also consumes more reducing reagents (Koji SATOH, et al. An Efficient Synthesis of a Key Intermediate of DU-6859a via Asymmetric Microbial Reduction, Chem. Pharm. Bull. 1998, 46, 587).

[0009]

[0010] The methods described above all have the problem of being difficult to scale up, so developing a route that is easy to scale up and environmentally friendly is particularly important. Summary of the Invention
