The present invention provides a method for preparing a
sacubitril intermediate, which relates to the technical field of pharmaceutical
chemical synthesis. Using compound 4 as a
raw material and chiral substituted
glycine as a
chiral auxiliary, a method for synthesizing the key material of
sacubitril is carried out through steps such as cyclization, deprotection, ring opening, and amidation. In view of the current situation that it is difficult to obtain the chiral
raw material 8, the present invention designs a new
route from compound 1 to compound 8. This
route involves a total of 7 chemical reactions, and the average yield of each
chemical reaction is 84%. The target product is successfully obtained, and the
chemical purity of the product is over 99%. It solves the problems existing in the existing process
route, such as low optical purity of the product, expensive and difficult-to-obtain materials, dangerous chemical reactions not suitable for scale-up production, and cryogenic reactions not meeting the requirements of
green chemistry. And the key steps of this route are optimized in detail, and the optimal
process conditions for each step of the reaction are determined.
