Benefits of technology

"The present invention provides a process for preparing oxazolidine protected aminodiol compounds of Formula V and Formula XII. These compounds have various uses and can be easily prepared using specific starting materials. The process involves reacting an ester precursor to the aminodiol free base compound with an oxazolidine forming reagent to form a compound of Formula VIII, which is then reacted with a first N-acylating agent to form a compound of Formula V. The compound of Formula VIII can also be reacted with a second N-acylating agent to form a compound of Formula XII. The process also includes steps of fluorinating the compound of Formula VIII with a fluorinating agent, selectively hydrolyzing the compound of Formula VIII with an acid or base catalyst, and purifying the compound of Formula VIII. The use of specific esters as starting materials eliminates the need for isolation of the difficult to isolate compound. Overall, the process provides a more efficient and cost-effective way to prepare these compounds."

Problems solved by technology

A major drawback of the process disclosed in 2005 / 0075506 A1 is the use of the aminodiol starting material of Formula III.
The aminodiol compound of Formula III is expensive.
It is also difficult to isolate and handle due to its amphoteric nature.

Preparation of (4R,5R)-3-acetyl-2,2-dimethyl-4-hydroxymethyl-5-[4-(methylsulfonyl)phenyl]-1,3-oxazolidine (Compound II)

[0130] (2S,3R)-Ethyl-2-amino-3-[4-(methylsulfonyl)phenyl]-3-hydroxy-propanoate (Compound IV) (100 g, 0.3480 moles) in 500 mL of methanol reacts with potassium borohydride (28.2 g, 0.5220 moles) over 4-8 hours at 50-60° C. to quantitatively yield (1R,2R)-2-amino-1-[4-(methylsulfonyl)phenyl]-1,3-propandiol (Compound VII: R1 is methylsulfonyl) (85.36 g, 0.3480 moles) in solution. Toluene (500 mL) and acetone (500 mL) replace methanol which distills off. Addition of potassium carbonate (6.9 g, 0.0696 moles) with heating at 75-85° C. for 12-18 hours yields (4R,5R)-2,2-dimethyl-4-hydroxymethyl-5-[4-(methylsulfonyl)phenyl]-1,3-oxazolidine (Compound VIII: R1 is methylsulfonyl and R2 and R3 are methyl). Addition of potassium carbonate (19.0 g, 0.1914 moles) and acetyl chloride (30.0 g, 0.3828 moles) at 20-25° C. for 2-4 hours then addition of water (500 mL) precipitates the...

[0131] (2S,3R)-Ethyl-2-amino-3-[4-(methylsulfonyl)phenyl]-3-hydroxy-propanoate (Compound IV) (100 g, 0.3480 moles) in methanol (450 mL) reacts with potassium borohydride (28.2 g, 0.5220 moles) over 4-8 hours at 50-60° C. to quantitatively yield (1R,2R)-2-amino-1-[4-(methylsulfonyl)phenyl]-1,3-propandiol (Compound VII: R1 is methylsulfonyl) (85.4 g, 0.3480 moles) in solution. Toluene (450 mL) and acetone (450 mL) replace methanol which distills off. Addition of triethylamine (8.8 g, 0.0870 moles) with heating at 70-80° C. for 12-18 hours yields (4R,5R)-2,2-dimethyl-4-hydroxymethyl-5-[4-(methylsulfonyl)phenyl]-1,3-oxazolidine (Compound VIII: R1 is methylsulfonyl and R2 and R3 are methyl). Addition of triethylamine (44.5 g, 0.4402 moles) and acetyl chloride (30.0 g, 0.3828 moles) at 20-25° C. for 2-4 hours then addition of water (500 mL) precipitates the crude product...
