AI Technical Summary
Existing methods for synthesizing (1R,2S,5R)-1-amino-5-[2-(dihydroxyboranyl)ethyl]-2-[(dimethylamino)methyl]cyclohexane-1-carboxylic acid are inefficient, require multiple chromatographic purifications, use large amounts of solvent, are time-consuming, and involve heavy metal-based catalysts, making them unsuitable for large-scale production and potentially contaminating the final product with iridium residues.
A method is developed that involves a scalable synthesis avoiding heavy metal catalysts, using only one silica gel column chromatography, and includes specific temperature-controlled reactions to minimize impurities, resulting in a reproducible, high-purity crystalline form of the compound.
The method achieves a reproducible, high-purity, anhydrous crystalline form of the compound, suitable for pharmaceutical use, with improved yield and scalability, eliminating the need for heavy metal catalysts and reducing impurities.

[Background technology]
[0003] The (1R,2S,5R)-1-amino-5-[2-(dihydroxyboranyl)ethyl]-2-[(dimethylamino)methyl]-cyclohexane-1-carboxylic acid of structural formula 1 is described in International Publication No. 2017 / 191130, U.S. Patent No. 10,391,077, and Example 38 of U.S. Patent No. 10,912,755. All of these documents claim priority to Polish Patent Application No. P-417066 filed on May 4, 2016, U.S. Provisional Patent Application No. 62 / 331,550 filed on May 4, 2016, and U.S. Provisional Patent Application No. 62 / 444,669 filed on January 10, 2017. The disclosures of these documents are incorporated herein by reference in their entirety.
[0004] JPEG2026513909000001.jpg3151
[0005] The compound of formula 1 is a dual inhibitor of both the ARG1 and ARG2 enzymes. Such compounds can be used to treat disorders associated with the overexpression of these enzymes. Associated disorders include, for example, colorectal cancer, ovarian cancer, renal cell carcinoma, pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma, and acute myeloid leukemia.
[0006] Further treatable disorders, diseases, or conditions include cardiovascular disorders, sexual disorders, wound healing disorders, gastrointestinal disorders, autoimmune disorders, immune disorders, human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection, hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection, hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection, Helicobacter pylori infection, lung disorders, hemolytic disorders, and neoplasms.
[0007] Neoplasms are cancers selected from the group consisting of gastric cancer, colorectal cancer, pancreatic cancer, liver cancer, breast cancer, lung cancer, renal cell carcinoma, prostate cancer, multiple myeloma, acute and chronic leukemia, T-cell, B-cell, and NK-cell lymphoma, brain tumors, head and neck squamous cell carcinoma, and melanoma.
[0008] The aforementioned international publications and US patent documents describe the synthesis of the compound of formula 1 from ethyl(4R)-2-hydroxy-4-vinylcyclohexa-1-ene-1-carboxylate of formula 2. This synthesis is outlined in Scheme 1 below.
[0009] JPEG2026513909000002.jpg5697
[0010] The compound of formula 2 is reacted with ammonium acetate and tert-butyl isocyanide in 2,2,2-trifluoroethanol at ambient temperature. After stirring overnight, crude product 3 and its diastereoisomers are isolated by extraction, and the main diastereoisomer 3 is purified by column chromatography. Then, pure ethyl (1R,2R,4R)-2-acetamido-2-(tert-butylcarbamoyl)-4-vinylcyclohexane-1-carboxylate 3 is reacted with 1M DIBAL-H in DCM, glacial acetic acid, a 2M solution of dimethylamine in THF, and sodium triacetoxyborohydride to obtain crude (1R,2S,5R)-1-acetamido-N-(tert-butyl)-2-[(dimethylamino)methyl]-5-vinylcyclohexane-carboxamide of formula 4. The crude product is purified by column chromatography to obtain the corresponding product as a single diastereoisomer. In the next synthetic step, pure 4 is converted to (1R,2S,5R)-1-acetamido-N-(tert-butyl)-2-[(dimethylamino)methyl]-5-(2-(4,4,5,5-tetramethyl-1,3,2-dioxaborolan-2-yl)ethyl)cyclohexane-1-carboxamide of formula 5 using 1,2-bis(diphenylphosphin)ethane, bis(1,5-cyclooctadiene)diiridium(I) dichloride, and 4,4,5,5-tetramethyl-1,3,2-dioxaborolan-2-yl)ethyl)cyclohexane-1-carboxamide of formula 5. Purification by column chromatography yields pure product 5. Finally, the compound of formula 5 is subjected to deprotection reactions of the amine, carboxylic acid, and boronic acid moieties. In this step, 6M HCl and reflux are applied, and the crude product obtained as hydrochloride is then desalted using DOWEX® 50WX8 with 0.1M ammonia in water as the eluent. The desired product 1 is obtained as a white solid.
[0011] The synthesis of the compound of formula 1 presented above requires at least three chromatographic purifications. This isolation method requires a large amount of solvent, takes time, and cannot be considered suitable for large-scale production. Furthermore, in the penultimate step, bis(1,5-cyclooctadiene)diiridium(I) dichloride, a heavy metal-based catalyst, is used, which may cause the problem of iridium residue in the final substance. There is no information regarding whether product 1 can be obtained in a crystalline form. The above characteristics suggest that the presented method cannot be considered efficient and scalable.

[Modes for carrying out the invention]
[0020] This specification provides an efficient and scalable synthesis of methyl(1R,2R,4R)-2-acetamido-2-(tert-butylcarbamoyl)-4-(2-(4,4,5,5-tetramethyl-1,3,2-dioxaborolan-2-yl)-ethyl)cyclohexane-1-carboxylate of formula 11. This compound has not yet been isolated or described at all.
[0021] The compound of formula 6 was prepared according to the protocol in the literature (Jiricek, J.; Blechert, S. Enantioselective Synthesis of (-)-Gilbertine via a Cationic Cascade Cyclization. J.Am.Chem.Soc. 2004, Vol. 126, pp. 3534-3538). Compound 6 was reacted with bromine and triphenylphosphine at room temperature in a solvent, preferably in the presence of an organic base in DCM, preferably pyridine. Imidazole can also be used as the organic base. After complete conversion of the substrates, the reaction was quenched by adding an alcohol, preferably methanol. Crude compound 7 was washed with water, followed by washing with a weak base, preferably NaHCO3 and Na2S2O3, and isolated by precipitation of triphenylphosphine using a nonpolar solvent, preferably an alkane, more preferably n-hexane. After evaporation of the solvent, crude compound 7 was used in the next step without any further purification.
[0022] The resulting substance of formula 7 is dissolved in a solvent, preferably acetonitrile, and an aqueous HCl solution is added at ambient temperature. After complete conversion of the substrate, the solvent is removed under vacuum, and the aqueous phase is extracted with a solvent, preferably ether, more preferably MTBE. The organic phase is washed with a weak base, preferably a saturated aqueous NaHCO3 solution, and brine. After evaporating the solvent, the crude compound 8 is used in the next step without any further purification.
[0023] In the next step, crude compound 8 in a solvent, preferably DMF, is added at ambient temperature to a mixture of Ph3P, B2(pin)2, CuI, and MeOLi suspended in a solvent, preferably DMF. The reaction was carried out at a high temperature, preferably 40°C. Once complete conversion of the substrate was obtained, the solution was filtered through a Celite pad and a solvent, preferably ether, more preferably MTBE, and 1M HCl were added. After phase separation, the aqueous phase was extracted with a solvent, preferably ether, more preferably MTBE, and the organic phase was washed with brine. After evaporation of the solvent, triphenylphosphine was precipitated using a nonpolar solvent, preferably an alkane, more preferably n-hexane. After filtration and solvent evaporation, crude compound 9 was purified by distillation under reduced pressure.
[0024] The compound of formula 9 is reacted with dimethyl carbonate at a high temperature, preferably 75°C, in a solvent, preferably in the presence of a strong base in DMF, preferably sodium hydride (mineral oil-free). Maintaining the aforementioned temperature is crucial, as higher temperatures will cause a decrease in the overall purity of the product. Once the substrate is completely converted, the reaction is quenched with a saturated aqueous NH4Cl solution at ambient temperature. This step is highly exothermic, so the quenching is carried out slowly. The crude compound of formula 10 is isolated by extraction with a solvent, preferably MTBE, and the organic phase is washed with water. After evaporating the solvent, the crude compound 10 is used in the next step without any further purification.
[0025] JPEG2026513909000003.jpg39100
[0026] The substance of formula 10 obtained is dissolved in a solvent, preferably 2,2,2-trifluoroethanol, and ammonium acetate is added at ambient temperature. After the ammonium acetate is completely dissolved, the reaction mixture is cooled to a lower temperature, preferably 0°C, and tert-butyl isocyanide is added. After complete conversion is achieved, the reaction mixture is concentrated under vacuum and evaporated with a nonpolar solvent, preferably an alkane, more preferably n-hexane or n-heptane. To remove excess ammonium acetate and promote crystallization, the resulting suspension is filtered through a short silica gel column. The desired compound is eluted with a solvent, preferably an MTBE / DCM mixture. The fraction containing the product of formula 11 is evaporated to obtain crude compound 11. To remove impurities generated in this step, the crude product is crystallized from a solvent, preferably ether, more preferably i-Pr2O. The main impurities are diastereomers 12, 13, 14, and the diastereomer product of general formula 15 due to Passerini side reactions. To improve the overall yield of this step, the mother liquor may be evaporated and purified by silica gel column chromatography. The obtained substance may be further purified by crystallization in the same manner as described above.
[0027] JPEG2026513909000004.jpg4195
[0028] The present invention further provides a method for synthesizing (1R,2S,5R)-1-amino-5-[2-(dihydroxyboranyl)ethyl]-2-[(dimethylamino)methyl]cyclohexane-1-carboxylic acid of formula 1 in anhydrous form A, which is in a solid crystalline state. Compared to the original method outlined in Scheme 1 in the "Background Art" section, various modifications have been introduced to the synthetic procedure to improve yield and purity and enable scaling up.
[0029] Intermediate compound 5 can be prepared by reacting methyl(1R,2R,4R)-2-acetamido-2-(tert-butylcarbamoyl)-4-(2-(4,4,5,5-tetramethyl-1,3,2-dioxaborolan-2-yl)ethyl)-cyclohexane-1-carboxylate of formula 11 with DIBAL-H (in DCM) at a low temperature, preferably -75°C. Low temperature is important to reduce the amount of excess reduction product of formula 16. In this step, reduction of the carbonyl portion of the amide group also occurs, generating the impurity of formula 17. The reaction mixture is quenched with an organic acid, preferably acetic acid (AcOH). In this step, if AcOH is added directly to the reaction mixture, a large amount of foam is generated. If the addition method is reversed, quenching becomes very fast, and as a result, the amount of impurity of formula 18 generated is reduced. The crude mixture is further reacted with dimethylamine at a low temperature, preferably -75°C. Next, the reaction mixture is slowly heated, preferably to -20°C, and a reducing agent, preferably sodium triacetoxyborohydride, is added. The mixture is quenched with a saturated aqueous sodium carbonate solution and extracted with a solvent, preferably DCM, to obtain the crude (1R,2S,5R)-1-acetamido-N-(tert-butyl)-2-[(dimethylamino)methyl]-5-(2-(4,4,5,5-tetramethyl-1,3,2-dioxaborolan-2-yl)ethyl)cyclohexane-1-carboxamide of formula 5.
[0030] The above conversion can also be carried out under flow conditions. To do so, a reducing agent, preferably sodium triacetoxyborohydride, is suspended in a solvent, preferably DCM, and cooled to a lower temperature, preferably -75°C. A flow of mixed reagent-11, dimethylamine (in THF), an organic acid, preferably acetic acid, and DIBAL-H (in DCM), cooled to a lower temperature, preferably 0°C, is supplied to the resulting suspension. The reaction mixture is preferably heated to ambient temperature. Quenched with saturated aqueous sodium carbonate solution, filtered through Celite, and extracted with a solvent, preferably DCM, the crude (1R,2S,5R)-1-acetamido-N-(tert-butyl)-2-[(dimethylamino)methyl]-5-(2-(4,4,5,5-tetramethyl-1,3,2-dioxaborolan-2-yl)ethyl)cyclohexane-1-carboxamide of formula 5 is obtained.
[0031] JPEG2026513909000005.jpg3891
[0032] The reduction amination of the compound of formula 11 generates various impurities. Before the next step, the crude product mixture containing 5 is dissolved in a solvent, preferably ether, more preferably MTBE, and the compound containing the amino moiety is extracted together with the compound of formula 25 into an aqueous layer using 0.5 M HCl. This process results in the formation of the hydrochloride salt 19 from the amino compound 5. Simultaneously, partial deprotection of the boronic acid ester occurs, leading to the formation of deprotected derivatives such as 20, 22, 24, and 25. Significant impurities, such as unreacted substrate 11 and the alcohol of formula 16 (formed as a product of excessive reduction of the carboxylic acid ester moiety), are removed by this extraction.
[0033] JPEG2026513909000006.jpg10093
[0034] In the next step, 12 M HCl is added to the combined aqueous layer from the extraction described above to obtain a final concentration of 6 M HCl. The mixture is then stirred under reflux until (1R,2S,5R)-1-acetamido-N-(tert-butyl)-2-[(dimethylamino)-methyl]-5-(2-(4,4,5,5-tetramethyl-1,3,2-dioxaborolan-2-yl)ethyl)cyclohexane-1-carboxamide hydrochloride of formula 19 is completely converted to the deprotection target compound 1 in the form of its hydrochloride. Under these conditions, the impurities generated in the previous step are hydrolyzed, yielding new compounds such as 26, 27, and 28. The deprotection alcohol of formula 25 is converted to lactone 29. The reaction mixture is cooled to a lower temperature, preferably ambient temperature, and evaporated under vacuum. The resulting crude mixture containing product 1 in the form of hydrochloride salt is dissolved in H2O and loaded onto an ion-exchange resin column, preferably prepared from DOWEX® 50WX8 and regenerated with 1M HCl. The column is eluted with water until pH=7 is achieved. The product is then eluted with 1M aqueous ammonia. The fractions containing 1 are combined and evaporated to obtain the crude product.
[0035] JPEG2026513909000007.jpg6786
[0036] After the desalting step, the crude mixture is purified by crystallization. For this purpose, the crude mixture is dissolved in a solvent, preferably water, at a high temperature, preferably 50°C. Then, a reverse solvent, preferably acetone, is added at a high temperature, preferably 50°C. The resulting suspension is then cooled to a lower temperature, preferably 0°C. The suspension is filtered, washed with a solvent, preferably acetone, and dried to obtain a white solid with a purity of >97% by HPLC.
[0037] To further improve the purity of this substance, recrystallization is used. For this purpose, the crude product is dissolved in a mixture of solvents, preferably methanol and water, at a high temperature, preferably 65°C. The mixture is then concentrated at a high temperature, preferably 85°C, to about half of the initial volume, and the allocated solvent, preferably acetone, is added. The mixture is concentrated again to half of the initial volume, the allocated solvent, preferably acetone, is added, and this entire operation is repeated one more time. A new allocated solvent, preferably acetone, is added to the resulting mixture, and the resulting suspension is then concentrated to 9 / 10 of the initial volume. The addition of acetone allows the mixture to cool to ambient temperature. The resulting suspension is then cooled to a lower temperature, preferably 0°C. The crystals are filtered and washed with a solvent, preferably acetone. The crystals are collected and dried to obtain the final product of formula 1 as white crystals with a purity of >99% by HPLC.
[0038] During the synthesis of the compound of formula 1, oxidative deboration occurs, thereby producing the alcohol compound (1R,2S,5R)-1-amino-2-[(dimethylamino)methyl]-5-(2-hydroxyethyl)cyclohexane-1-carboxylic acid of formula 30, which is largely removed during the crystallization process described above.
