Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of pharmaceutical synthesis technology, and particularly relates to a method for preparing an avibactam intermediate. Background Technology

[0002] Avibactam is a novel non-β-lactamase inhibitor, first developed by Novexel under the code name NXL-104. Its chemical name is (3R,5S)-6-sulfonico-2-(aminocarbonyl)-7-oxo-1,6-diazabicyclo[3.2.1]octane, with the molecular formula C7H. 11 N3O6S has a relative molecular mass of 265.25. In clinical applications, avibactam is often used in its sodium salt form to exert its biological activity. The chemical structure of avibactam sodium is shown below.

[0003]

[0004] Avibactam, a DBO-type compound with two chiral centers, primarily utilizes natural chiral sources to construct its key chiral centers, avoiding issues such as decreased optical purity, redundant steps, and increased costs caused by racemization. However, it can also be synthesized through asymmetric chemical methods. Depending on the starting material, its synthetic routes mainly include: using chiral piperidine ring derivatives as starting materials and using L-pyroglutamic acid or its derivatives as starting materials.

[0005] In 2003, Novexel, the original research company, proposed the first industrial-scale synthetic route for sodium avibactam (patent publication number CN1468242A). This route is lengthy (16 steps in total), has a low overall yield (approximately 9%), low optical purity, and requires chiral starting materials that are difficult to synthesize. The synthetic route is shown in the following formula.

[0006]

[0007]

[0008] Subsequently, AstraZeneca officially acquired Novexel and continued to advance research on the synthetic routes of avibactam sodium. In 2011, a series of synthetic routes for avibactam sodium and its derivatives using L-pyroglutamic acid derivatives as starting materials were reported (Patent No. WO 2012172368A1). The synthetic routes are shown in the following formula.

[0009]

[0010] Subsequently, many scientists conducted related research on the above-mentioned route. For example, in 2021, Wang Shuai proposed an improved strategy based on the AstraZeneca experimental route (Fine Chemicals. 2021, 38(07): 1494-1499). The synthetic route is shown in the following formula.

[0011]

[0012] Based on numerous patents, it has been found that compound 29 and its derivatives, as key intermediates in the synthesis of avibactam sodium, are of great significance for the industrial production of avibactam sodium, whether by optimizing the overall synthetic route or by optimizing specific reaction conditions (such as improving yield, purity, and process stability, or reducing industrial application costs).

[0044] Unless otherwise specified, all solutions of inorganic salts or bases mentioned in the following examples are aqueous solutions.

[0045] Example 1

[0046] S1. Feeding: Add L-pyroglutamic acid (95.0 g) and anhydrous ethanol (950.0 mL, 10 times the volume of the reactants, i.e., 10 V) sequentially to a 2 L three-necked flask and stir. After cooling to -10 ℃, slowly add 61.3 g (0.7 eq) of SOCl2 dropwise over 1–2 h. After the addition is complete, maintain the temperature at -10 ℃ and stir for 30 min. Then, slowly raise the temperature of the reaction system to 0–10 ℃ and continue the reaction for 8 h, monitoring the residual reactants by HPLC. Post-treatment: After the reaction, concentrate the system under reduced pressure at 40–45 ℃ and -0.1 MPa. Add 950.0 mL (10 V) of toluene to the concentrate, maintaining the temperature at 0–5 ℃, and slowly add 52.2 g (0.7 eq) of triethylamine dropwise. After the addition was complete, stirring was continued for 30 min. The mixture was then filtered, and the filter cake was washed with 190.0 mL (2 V) of toluene. The filtrates were combined and concentrated under reduced pressure at 40–45 °C and -0.1 MPa until solvent-free distillation was obtained to yield L-pyroglutamic acid ethyl ester (AVI-SM-1).

[0047] S2. Feeding: First, prepare the Boc anhydride solution by mixing 160.4 g (1.0 eq) of Boc anhydride with 190 mL (2 V) of toluene. Add all of the AVI-SM-1 obtained in the previous batch to 285 mL (3 V) of toluene and 1.8 g (0.02 eq) of DMAP, stir for 10 minutes, and slowly add the above Boc anhydride / toluene solution (containing 160.4 g of Boc anhydride and 190 mL of toluene) dropwise while controlling the temperature at 0–5 °C. After the addition is complete, raise the temperature of the reaction system to 25–30 °C and stir the reaction for 3–5 h, monitoring the process using HPLC. Post-processing: After the reaction was complete, 950 mL (10 V) of 5% sodium bicarbonate solution was added to the system. After stirring for 10 minutes, the mixture was allowed to stand and separate into layers. The organic phase was collected. The organic phase was then washed twice with 475 mL (5 V) of water, and the aqueous phases were combined. Subsequently, the combined aqueous phases were back-extracted with 285 mL (3 V) of toluene. The aqueous phase was discarded after separation (environmentally friendly treatment). The organic phase was dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate and filtered. The filtrate was concentrated under reduced pressure at 40-45 °C and -0.1 MPa to obtain 162.0 g of the product Boc-L-pyroglutamic acid ethyl ester (AVI-SM).

[0048] S3. Feeding: Add 87.31 g (1.1 eq) of potassium tert-butoxide and 136.21 g (1.25 eq) of trimethyl sulfoxide (TMS) sequentially to a 2 L four-necked flask, followed by 567 ml (3.5 V) of THF. Mix and stir at 20–25 °C for 20 minutes, then cool to 0–5 °C. Slowly add dropwise a solution prepared by dissolving 162.0 g of Boc-L-pyroglutamic acid ethyl ester (AVI-SM) in 406 ml (2.5 V) of THF. After the addition is complete, maintain the reaction at 0–5 °C for 1–2 hours, monitoring the reaction progress via HPLC. Post-treatment: After the reaction is deemed satisfactory, maintain the system temperature at 0–5 °C and quench the reaction by adding dropwise a solution prepared by dissolving 11.5 g (0.3 eq) of acetic acid in 81 ml (0.5 V) of THF, adjusting the pH of the system to 7. After adjustment, control the temperature at 0~10 ℃, add 162 g (1 times the volume) of silica gel (type 70-230) to the system, and mix and stir for 30 minutes. Then filter, and wash the filter cake with 324 ml (2V) of THF. The resulting filtrate is the AVI-1 solution, which is used for the next feeding step; the filter cake is then disposed of in an environmentally friendly manner.

[0049] S4. Feeding: Add the THF solution of AVI-1 to a 3 L reaction flask, followed by 100.65 g (1.0 eq) of benzyloxyamine hydrochloride. Heat the system to 60 °C and react for 2 hours, monitoring the reaction progress via HPLC. Post-treatment: After the reaction is deemed satisfactory, cool the system to room temperature (20-25 °C) and filter to remove insoluble matter. Then, concentrate under reduced pressure to recover THF. After concentration, add 1296 ml (8 V) of EA and 810 g (5 V) of 10% sodium chloride solution to the system, mix and stir for 30 minutes, and let stand for 30-60 minutes. After the liquid separates into layers, treat the lower aqueous phase using environmentally friendly methods; the resulting upper organic phase is the AVI-2 solution, used for the next feeding step.

[0050] S5. Feeding 1 (Amine De-Boc Protection): Maintaining the system temperature within the range of 10–20 °C, slowly add 181.5 g (3.0 eq) of methanesulfonic acid dropwise to the EA solution of AVI-2. After the addition is complete, raise the system temperature to 42 °C and react for 2 hours, taking samples for HPLC analysis during this period. Feeding 2 (Catalytic Cyclation): Maintaining the system temperature within the range of 15–20 °C, add a solution prepared by dissolving 315.2 g (5.0 eq) of potassium bicarbonate in 810 g (5 V) of water dropwise to the above reaction system. A large number of bubbles are generated during the dropwise addition, accompanied by a small amount of exothermic reaction. After the dropwise addition is complete, raise the system temperature to 47–52 °C and stir vigorously at this temperature for 2 hours, taking samples for HPLC analysis during this period. Post-treatment: After the reaction passes the test, cool the system to room temperature (20–25 °C) and allow it to stand for phase separation. The organic phase was separated, and 486 g (3 V) of 20% sodium chloride solution was added. The mixture was stirred for 30 minutes and then allowed to stand for 30-60 minutes to allow for complete separation. After a second separation, the upper aqueous phase was treated using environmentally friendly methods, and the lower organic phase was concentrated under reduced pressure at 35-40°C. The concentration was reduced to approximately 972 ml (approximately 6 V based on the amount of Boc-L-pyroglutamic acid ethyl ester added). The resulting AVI-3 solution was used for the next feeding step; the filter cake was treated using environmentally friendly methods.

[0051] S6. Feeding 1 (Preparation of sodium triacetoxyborohydride): At 0–5 °C, 280 g of propionic acid (6.0 eq) was slowly added dropwise to 972 mL of EA (6 V) solution containing 47.5 g of sodium borohydride (2.0 eq). After the addition was complete, the solution was kept at this temperature and stirred for 6 hours. The resulting solution was then set aside. Feeding 2 (Selective Reduction of Oxime): The system temperature was controlled between -10 and 0 °C. 315 g of sulfuric acid (5.0 eq) was slowly added dropwise to the AVI-3 solution. After the addition was complete, the solution was stirred for 15–30 minutes, and the EA solution of sodium triacetoxyborohydride prepared above was slowly added dropwise while maintaining the temperature at -10 °C. After the addition was complete, the solution was kept at this temperature and stirred for 1–2 hours. Post-treatment: After the reaction was deemed satisfactory, 1620 mL of water (10 V) was added dropwise to the system at a temperature below 0 °C. The pH of the system was then adjusted to 8-9 by adding ammonia solution dropwise at a temperature <0 °C, consuming approximately 1412 g (16.0 eq) of 25% ammonia solution. After adjustment, the mixture was stirred for 30 minutes, allowed to stand for 30-60 minutes to separate into layers, and the lower aqueous phase was discarded. 810 g of water (5 V) was added to the upper organic phase, stirred for 30 minutes, allowed to stand for 30-60 minutes to separate into layers, and the aqueous phase was discarded again. The resulting organic phase was heated to 40-45 °C, and 6.48 g of activated carbon (4 wt%) was added for decolorization. After filtration, the filter cake was washed with 162 mL of EA (1 V). The filtrate was concentrated under reduced pressure, and the resulting AVI-4 viscous liquid was used for the next step (a small amount was purified for structural confirmation, and the chromatogram is shown below). Figure 1 (As shown); the filter cake is treated in an environmentally friendly manner.

[0052] S7. Feeding 1 (Oxalate Crystallization Experiment): Mix the viscous AVI-4 solution obtained in the previous step with 324 g of isopropanol (2 V) and heat to 40-45 °C. Slowly add a solution prepared by dissolving 79.37 g of oxalate dihydrate (1.0 eq) in 324 g of isopropanol (2 V). After the addition is complete, continue to add 162 g of water (1.0 V). After the addition is complete, maintain the temperature at 40-45 °C and stir for 30-60 minutes. Then, cool the system to 10-15 °C at a rate of 10 °C / 0.5 hours and continue stirring at this temperature for 1 hour. After the reaction is complete, filter the mixture. Wash the filter cake with 324 g of isopropanol (2 V) to obtain a white, crude AVI-5 product (wet product). Feeding 2 (Oxalate Purification): Add the above crude AVI-5 to 1036.8 g of isopropanol (6.4 V), heat to 70-75 °C, and stir until the solid is completely dissolved to form a clear solution. Then add 389 g of water (2.4 V) dropwise and continue stirring for 10-15 minutes. Afterward, cool the system to 10-15 °C at a rate of 10 °C / 0.5 hours and stir at this temperature for 1 hour. After the reaction is complete, filter the mixture, and wash the filter cake with 324 g of isopropanol (2 V) to obtain 115.5 g of off-white solid AVI-5 wet product. Drying: Place the above wet AVI-5 product in a vacuum drying oven and dry it at 50-52 °C and -0.1 MPa for 10-15 hours. During the drying process, the moisture content of the material needs to be monitored. If the moisture content is ≤0.5%, it is considered qualified; if it is not qualified, samples should be taken every 3 hours for testing until the moisture content meets the standard. The final product obtained was 97.4 g of dried oxalate AVI-5. Figure 2 This is the HPLC chromatogram of the product. Figure 3 The HPLC chiral purity test result for the product shows a purity of 99.88%, an ee value of 99.86%, and a total yield of 42%.

[0053] Example 2

[0054] Under the same conditions, DMAP (0.02 eq) in S2 was replaced with triethylamine (1.00 eq). HPLC monitoring showed that a small amount of raw material remained, which was not treated.

[0055] Example 3

[0056] Under the same conditions, the crystallization solvent in S7 was acetonitrile / water (4:1), and the resulting product had a purity of 99.93% and an overall yield of 41%.
