The present invention relates to the technical field of
organic synthesis, and specifically relates to a method for constructing the
chirality of a
pyran ring in Orforglipron by means of enzymatic
catalysis, the method comprising the following steps: step S1, by using SM1 and SM2 as starting materials, carrying out a reaction under the action of a
palladium catalyst and a ligand to obtain INT-1; step S2, under the
catalysis of Pd / C, subjecting INT-1 to
double bond hydrogenation reduction to obtain INT-2; step S3, in the presence of a
solvent, a buffer salt
system and enzymatic
catalysis, subjecting INT-2 to
hydrolysis and resolution to obtain a chirally pure intermediate INT-3; step S4, subjecting INT-3 to a
Grignard reaction for cyclization, so as to synthesize a
lactone intermediate INT-4; and step S5, subjecting INT-4 to reduction by means of Dibal-H,
quenching same, performing extraction with
dichloromethane,
drying same with
anhydrous sodium sulfate, and then performing reduction by means of
triethylsilane to obtain a compound of general formula A. In the present invention, the
chirality is constructed by means of enzymatic catalysis without the need of SFC resolution for separating isomeric impurities during the construction of the
chirality, thereby reducing losses and improving yield, obtaining the target product at high yield and high
chiral selectivity, and further saving expenses and reducing costs.
