Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of pharmaceutical compound preparation technology, specifically relating to a method for preparing an intermediate for vonoprazan fumarate. Background Technology
[0002] vonoprazan fumarate (TAK-438), chemically named 5-(2-fluorophenyl)-1-(3-pyridylsulfonyl)-3-methylaminomethyl-1H-pyrrole fumarate, belongs to the potassium ion (K) group. + A new class of inhibitors of competitive acid blockers, which inhibit K... + With H + -K + The binding action of ATPase (proton pump) prematurely terminates gastric acid secretion, resulting in a strong and long-lasting inhibitory effect on gastric acid secretion in the human body. Clinically, it has shown good efficacy in treating erosive esophagitis, gastric ulcers, duodenal ulcers, and Helicobacter pylori eradication indications.
[0003] The main publicly reported synthetic routes for vonoprazan fumarate are as follows:
[0004] Method 1: The synthesis of vonoprazan in Takeda's patent JP2006317408 begins with 2-fluoroacetophenone as the starting material. First, it is brominated with copper bromide, then condensed with ethyl cyanoacetate to obtain the intermediate ethyl 2-cyano-4-(2-fluorophenyl)-4-oxobutyrate. This intermediate is cyclized in a 4 M hydrogen chloride solution in ethyl acetate and then dechlorinated by Pd / C catalytic hydrogenation to generate a pyrrole skeleton. Subsequently, the ester group is reduced to a hydroxyl group by diisobutylaluminum hydride (DIBAL), and further oxidized to an aldehyde group using a tetrapropylperruthenium perruthenium (TPAP) / N-methylmorpholine-N-oxide (NMO) oxidation system, thus yielding the key intermediate 5-(2-fluorophenyl)-1H-pyrrole-3-carboxaldehyde. The aldehyde compound undergoes sulfonation with pyridine-3-sulfonyl chloride in the presence of sodium hydride (NaH) and 15-crown ether-5, followed by methylation and salt formation with fumaric acid to give the target product, vonorazan fumarate. The reaction is shown below:
[0005]
[0006] In this route, the yield is low during palladium reduction on carbon, and the oxidation of hydroxyl groups to aldehydes requires an expensive metal catalyst—tetrapropylammonium perruthenate (TPAP). Furthermore, the post-processing of several steps in this route relies on column chromatography for separation and purification, making the operation cumbersome and time-consuming.
[0007] Method 2: The synthetic route of vonorazan, as described in patent CN101300229A, uses methyl 1H-pyrrole-3-carboxylate as the starting material. First, it undergoes bromination with N-bromosuccinimide (NBS); then, sulfonation is performed to introduce a sulfonyl group; next, a Suzuki coupling reaction is used to construct the key aromatic ring structure; subsequently, the ester group is reduced to a hydroxyl group, and the hydroxyl group is converted to an aldehyde group using a tetrapropylperruthenium perruthenate (TPAP) / N-methylmorpholine-N-oxide (NMO) oxidation system. Finally, methylamination is performed, followed by salt formation with fumaric acid to obtain the target product, vonorazan fumarate. The reaction is shown below:
[0008]
[0009] The starting material for this synthetic route, methyl 1H-pyrrole-3-carboxylate, is not readily available. The subsequent Suzuki coupling reaction and the oxidation of the hydroxyl group to the aldehyde group require the use of noble metal catalysts, palladium and tetrapropylperruthenium (TPAP).
[0010] Method 3: Patent CN104860923A uses 5-(2-fluorophenyl)-1H-pyrrole-3-carboxynitrile as the starting material. First, a pyridine-3-sulfonyl group is added to the nitrogen atom of the pyrrole ring; then, the cyano group is reduced to an amino group; the resulting amino group undergoes a methylamination reaction, and finally forms a salt with fumaric acid to obtain the target product, vonorazan fumarate. The reaction is shown below:
[0011]
[0012] The starting material for this reaction route, 5-(2-fluorophenyl)-1H-pyrrole-3-carboxynitrile, is not readily available, and the reaction of reducing the cyano group to the amino group requires a noble metal catalyst such as palladium, platinum, or tungsten.
[0013] Method 4: Patent CN105085484A uses 5-(2-fluorophenyl)-1H-pyrrole-3-carboxaldehyde as the starting material. First, it reacts with methylamine to generate an imine intermediate, which is then reduced to a secondary amine intermediate by a borohydride (such as NaBH4). Subsequently, the secondary amine group is protected with a tert-butoxycarbonyl (Boc) group, followed by sulfonylation with pyridine-3-sulfonyl chloride. After removing the Boc protecting group, it forms a salt with fumaric acid to yield the product vonorazan fumarate. The specific reaction flow is shown below:
[0014]
[0015] The starting material 5-(2-fluorophenyl)-1H-pyrrole-3-carboxaldehyde is not readily available for this route. Subsequently, a tert-butyloxycarbonyl (Boc) group needs to be introduced for amino protection, and then removed again after the reaction is complete.
[0016] Method 5: In 2017, Yu Qianying reported a method using ethyl 5-(2-fluorophenyl)-1H-pyrrole-3-carboxylate as a starting material. The product was first hydrolyzed to a carboxylic acid, then amination was performed, followed by sulfonation with pyridine-3-sulfonyl chloride to reduce the carbonyl group, and finally salt formation with fumaric acid to yield vonorazan fumarate. The specific reaction procedure is shown below:
[0017]
[0018] The starting material for this route, ethyl 5-(2-fluorophenyl)-1H-pyrrole-3-carboxylate, is relatively expensive, and the sulfonation reaction requires n-butyllithium, making the reaction difficult to control. Summary of the Invention
[0019] The purpose of this invention is to provide a method for preparing an intermediate for vonoprazan fumarate, using readily available raw materials, through a simple process and mild conditions, and without using a precious metal catalyst in the synthesis process.
[0020] In a first aspect, the present invention provides a method for preparing an intermediate for vonoprazan fumarate, wherein compound S3 is synthesized from compounds S1 and S2 as raw materials, and intermediate S4 is then synthesized from compound S3, wherein the structural formulas of compounds S1 and S2 are as follows:
[0021] S1: S2: S3: ,
[0022] Among them, R 1 Selected from any one of p-toluenesulfonyl (Ts), tert-butyl (tBu), benzyl (Bn), N-(dimethylamine)sulfonyl, tert-butylsulfinyl, N-diphenylphosphine, hydroxy, methoxy, ethoxy, methanesulfonyloxy, p-toluenesulfonyloxy, tert-butoxycarbonyloxy (BocO), benzyloxycarbonyloxy (CbzO), allyloxycarbonyl (AllocO), acetoxy (AcO), R 2 It is selected from any one of methyl ester, ethyl ester, isopropyl ester, tert-butyl ester, and isoamyl ester.
[0023] The reaction route is as follows:
[0024] .
[0025] In existing technologies, pyrrole ring derivatives (such as 5-(2-fluorophenyl)-1H-pyrrole-3-carboxaldehyde or its esters / nitriles) are often used as starting materials. These starting materials are difficult to synthesize and expensive, and some routes involve unstable aldehyde intermediates or require expensive noble metal catalysts (such as Pd or Ru). The technical solution of this invention fundamentally changes the construction strategy of the key pyrrole ring skeleton of vonoprazan fumarate. It uses two simple, commercially available, or easily prepared open-chain molecules—o-fluorophenylimine derivative (S1) and allyl bromide ester (S2)—to efficiently and selectively construct the target pyrrole ring structure (S4) in situ through a simple addition-electrophilic cyclization reaction. This method not only significantly reduces the cost of starting materials but also avoids dependence on unstable intermediates, simplifying the synthetic route from the outset.
[0026] The overall process conditions are mild, easy to operate, and environmentally friendly. No precious metal catalysts (such as Pd, Pt, Ru) or highly active, hazardous reagents (such as tert-butyllithium, sodium hydride / crown ether systems, etc.) are used throughout the process. All key transformations are completed in conventional organic solvents at a mild temperature range of 0–100°C. More importantly, each intermediate can be obtained in high purity through simple extraction, concentration, and recrystallization, completely avoiding time-consuming, material-intensive, and difficult-to-scale column chromatography separation operations, significantly improving the robustness and industrial feasibility of the process.

The organic phases were combined, dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate, filtered, and evaporated to dryness. Recrystallization gave a yellow solid (1.36 g), with a reaction yield of 76%.
