Description

Electron-rich biphosphine ligand, preparation and use thereof TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the field of chemical catalysts, in particular to an electron-rich chiral biphosphine ligand, preparation and use thereof. BACKGROUND

[0002] Mammalian endogenous atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP) also known as atriopeptin (ANF) has diuretic, natriuretic and vasodilatory functions. The natural ANF peptide is inactivated by metabolism, particularly by a degrading enzyme believed to be equivalent to NEP, which also causes the metabolic inactivation of enkephalins.

[0003] Sacubitril (AHU-377) is one of the main components of the anti-heart failure drug LCZ696 (CAS: 936623-90-4) developed by Novartis. The anti-heart failure drug is a supramolecular complex (complex) formed by the non-covalent combination of valsartan and sacubitril (AHU-377), which has the dual effects of angiotensin receptor blockade and neutral endopeptidase inhibition, reduces the risk of cardiovascular disease, and is mainly used for the treatment of heart failure, and can also be used for hypertension.

[0004] Sacubitril (AHU-377) is usually prepared through the key intermediate N-Boc amino alcohol [formula (10-a)], which is chemically named as tert-butyl N-[(1R)-2-[1,1'-biphenyl]-4-yl-1-(hydroxymethyl)ethyl] carbamate (CAS: 1426129-50-1); its structural formula is:

[0005] There are many patent documents in the prior art about the synthesis method of sacubitril intermediate N-Boc amino alcohol, such as patents WO 2013 / 026773 and CN 103764624 disclose a method for preparing sacubitril intermediate amino alcohol by using p-phenylbenzaldehyde as raw material, and the key synthesis steps are as follows:

[0006] The route has the advantage of high yield in synthesizing compound 6a relative to the currently reported path, but in the process, a large amount of asymmetric catalyst is used in the step of synthesizing compound 4a from compound 3a, which leads to high process cost, and the use of lithium aluminum hydride in the process to reduce the ester group and the protecting group Bz increases the risk of operation, so the preparation of the key chiral intermediate N-Boc amino alcohol (10-a) of sacubitril is limited by raw materials, reaction reagents, post-treatment process and the like on the one hand, and the synthetic route is long, the diastereoisomer ratio is low, the environment is not friendly and the like on the other hand, which leads to high production cost and complicated operation, and is not conducive to industrialization. Therefore, it is of great significance to develop a more simple, economical and convenient production route for the key chiral intermediate N-Boc amino alcohol (10-a). SUMMARY
