Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of pharmaceutical intermediates, specifically relating to an efficient method for preparing high-purity Fmoc-Ser(tBu)-OH. Background Technology
[0002] Fmoc-Ser(tBu)-OH, systematically named N-(9-fluorenylmethoxycarbonyl)-O-tert-butyl-serine, is a protected amino acid and an organic synthesis and pharmaceutical intermediate. It can be used in biochemical research, organic synthesis, and pharmaceutical development. Its chemical structure is as follows:
[0003] Because the hydroxyl and carboxyl groups in the serine (L-configuration) molecule have similar chemical properties, to prevent side reactions and considering the solubility of the material, the carboxyl group is usually pre-protected, the hydroxyl group is tert-butylated, the pre-protection is removed, and finally the desired protecting group is introduced onto the amino group. CN 116082190 A discloses an efficient industrial production method for Fmoc-Ser(tBu)-OH, which is also the mainstream method for current industrial production, including the following steps: A. Starting with Ser, it reacts with methanol to obtain serine methyl ester hydrochloride [H-Ser-OMe·HCl] (carboxyl preprotection). BH-Ser-OMe·HCl reacts with isobutylene under strong acid catalysis to give O-tert-butyl-serine methyl ester [H-Ser(tBu)-OMe]; CH-Ser(tBu)-OMe was hydrolyzed to give O-tert-butyl-serine [H-Ser(tBu)-OH]; DH-Ser(tBu)-OH reacts with 9-fluorenylmethyl-N-succinimide carbonate (Fmoc-OSu) to give Fmoc-Ser(tBu)-OH.
[0004] The reaction formula is shown below:
[0005] This method has the following drawbacks in preparing the intermediate H-Ser(tBu)-OMe: First, it requires the use of gaseous materials with a risk of combustion and explosion, which places high demands on the airtightness of the production equipment and poses a safety risk; Second, the reaction time is long and the conversion is incomplete, which leads to the generation of impurities Fmoc-Ser-OH in subsequent steps, resulting in the waste of material Fmoc-OSu and increasing material costs. Summary of the Invention
[0006] To address the above problems, this invention provides an efficient method for preparing high-purity Fmoc-Ser(tBu)-OH.
[0007] Unless otherwise specified, all serine and its derivatives involved in this invention are L-configured, and the L-configuration is omitted in all molecular formulas. The technical solution of this invention is as follows: An efficient method for preparing high-purity Fmoc-Ser(tBu)-OH includes the following steps: Serine (serine) was mixed thoroughly with methanol (MeOH), and then thionyl chloride (SOCl2) was added dropwise to produce H-Ser-OMe. HCl; H-Ser-OMe After HCl is dissolved in tert-butyl acetate, it reacts with ditert-butyl dicarbonate [(Boc)2O] in the presence of perchlorate to give H-Ser(tBu)-OMe; Hydrolyzing H-Ser(tBu)-OMe yields H-Ser(tBu)-OH; H-Ser(tBu)-OH reacts with Fmoc-OSu to obtain Fmoc-Ser(tBu)-OH. Among them, tert-butyl acetate and H-Ser-OMe The mass ratio of HCl is (5~10):1; perchlorate and H-Ser-OMe The molar ratio of HCl is (0.1~0.5):1; ditert-butyl dicarbonate and H-Ser-OMe The molar ratio of HCl is (2~6):1.
[0008] This invention provides an efficient method for preparing high-purity Fmoc-Ser(tBu)-OH, the reaction formula of which is as follows:
[0009] In the synthesis of the intermediate H-Ser(tBu)-OMe, this invention innovatively selects tert-butyl acetate as a solvent, perchlorate as a catalyst, and ditert-butyl dicarbonate as a tert-butyl donor, especially when tert-butyl acetate reacts with H-Ser-OMe.

When the molar ratio of HCl is (2~6):1, the three components produce a synergistic effect, which shortens the preparation cycle of the finished product Fmoc-Ser(tBu)-OH by about 1 / 4, while significantly improving the quality. The total yield is not less than 75%, the purity is not less than 99.5%, and the maximum single impurity is less than 0.1%. In addition, since di-tert-butyl dicarbonate is used to replace isobutylene, a gaseous material in the mainstream process, as the tert-butyl donor, the safety risks and the requirements for equipment airtightness are significantly reduced.
[0010] Preferably, the perchlorate is one or more of magnesium perchlorate, zinc perchlorate, calcium perchlorate, strontium perchlorate, or barium perchlorate.

[0014] Preferably, H-Ser(tBu)-OMe is hydrolyzed under alkaline conditions to obtain H-Ser(tBu)-OH; more preferably, the alkaline conditions are aqueous solutions of alkali metal hydroxides; even more preferably, the alkali metal hydroxide is one or both of sodium hydroxide and potassium hydroxide; even more preferably, the molar ratio of alkali metal hydroxide to H-Ser(tBu)-OMe is (1.2~2.5):1; particularly preferably, the molar ratio of alkali metal hydroxide to H-Ser(tBu)-OMe is (1.2~1.5):1.
[0015] Preferably, H-Ser-OMe After HCl is dissolved in tert-butyl acetate, it reacts with ditert-butyl dicarbonate under the action of perchlorate at a temperature of 10~30℃; more preferably, the temperature is 15~25℃; and even more preferably, the temperature is 18~23℃.
[0016] Preferably, Fmoc-Ser(tBu)-OH is purified after being obtained; more preferably, the purification is carried out in a mixture of organic solvent and water; even more preferably, the organic solvent is one or more of methanol, ethanol or acetone; even more preferably, the mass ratio of organic solvent to water in the mixture of organic solvent and water is 1:(1~5); particularly preferably, the mass ratio of organic solvent to water is 1:(2~4).

[0018] The beneficial effects of this invention are as follows: (1) In the synthesis of the intermediate product H-Ser(tBu)-OMe, this invention innovatively selects tert-butyl acetate as a solvent, perchlorate as a catalyst, and di-tert-butyl dicarbonate as a tert-butyl donor. Compared with the use of tert-butyl acetate and di-tert-butyl dicarbonate alone, or the combination of perchlorate and di-tert-butyl dicarbonate, the three components in a specific ratio [tert-butyl acetate and H-Ser-OMe]... The mass ratio of HCl is (5~10):1, and the perchlorate is reacted with H-Ser-OMe. The molar ratio of HCl is (0.1~0.5):1, and di-tert-butyl dicarbonate is mixed with H-Ser-OMe. The combined use of HCl at a molar ratio of (2~6)∶1] can significantly shorten the preparation cycle of the finished product Fmoc-Ser(tBu)-OH (by about 1 / 4), while greatly improving the quality of the finished product (total yield of the finished product is not less than 75%, purity is not less than 99.5%, and maximum single impurity is less than 0.1%), making it suitable for industrial-scale production.
[0019] (2) In preparing the finished product Fmoc-Ser(tBu)-OH, the present invention innovatively uses ditert-butyl dicarbonate to replace isobutylene, a gaseous material in the mainstream process, which significantly reduces safety risks and equipment requirements. Detailed Implementation

[0055] Comparative Example 8 This comparative example provides a method for preparing Fmoc-Ser(tBu)-OH, except that di-tert-butyl dicarbonate in S2 is reacted with H-Ser-OMe Except for adjusting the molar ratio of HCl from 3:1 to 8:1, the other process parameters are the same as in Example 1.
[0056] Experimental results: H-Ser-OMe was monitored using TLC. The HCl reaction was complete, yielding 282 kg of the finished product Fmoc-Ser(tBu)-OH (white solid). The overall yield was 77.3%, the purity was 99.6%, and the maximum single impurity was 0.04%. The overall yield, purity, and maximum single impurity were basically consistent with those of Example 1.
[0057] Comparative Example 9 This comparative example provides a method for preparing Fmoc-Ser(tBu)-OH, except that tert-butyl acetate in S2 is reacted with H-Ser-OMe Except for adjusting the mass ratio of HCl from 6:1 to 4:1, the rest of the process is the same as in Example 1.
[0058] Experimental results: The reaction system was turbid, and the reaction changed from a homogeneous to a heterogeneous reaction, leading to H-Ser-OMe The HCl conversion rate was significantly lower than that in Example 1.
[0059] Comparative Example 10 This comparative example provides a method for preparing Fmoc-Ser(tBu)-OH, except that tert-butyl acetate in S2 is reacted with H-Ser-OMe Except for adjusting the mass ratio of HCl from 6:1 to 12:1, the rest of the process is the same as in Example 1.
[0060] Experimental results: The overall yield, purity, and maximum single impurity were basically consistent with those of Example 1.
[0061] In summary, compared with the mainstream industrial preparation method (Comparative Example 1), the present invention has lower safety risks because it does not use gaseous materials, and the requirements for the airtightness and pressure resistance of the equipment during the reaction process are lower, the preparation cycle is shortened by about 1 / 4, and the overall yield is significantly improved. Meanwhile, in this invention, perchlorate, tert-butyl acetate, and di-tert-butyl dicarbonate have a synergistic effect within a specific ratio range: using only tert-butyl acetate and di-tert-butyl dicarbonate (Comparative Example 2), or only perchlorate and di-tert-butyl dicarbonate (Comparative Examples 3 and 4), the quality of the resulting product is not as good as when all three are used together (Example 1); when the amount of perchlorate is too low (Comparative Example 5), the target product cannot be synthesized effectively, while when the amount is too high (Comparative Example 6), although the purity and single impurity of the product are comparable to those of this invention (Example 1), the material consumption increases; when the amount of di-tert-butyl dicarbonate is insufficient (Comparative Example 7), the total yield of the product decreases significantly, while when the amount is too high (Comparative Example 8), it also causes material waste; when the amount of tert-butyl acetate (Comparative Example 9) is too low, H-Ser-OMe The HCl conversion rate decreased significantly, which in turn led to a decrease in the total yield of the finished product. When the dosage was too high (Comparative Example 10), although the quality of the finished product was comparable to that of the present invention (Example 1), the material consumption increased.
