Abstract
This invention pertains to an improved process for preparing chiral or racemic phenylalaninol (PAO) by hydrogenation of L(+)- or racemic 2-amino-1-phenyl-1,3-propanediol (APPD) in the presence of a strong volatile acid. Furthermore, a more valuable form of PAO such like N-blocked PAO was found to be directly produceable from the hydrogenation mixture without isolation of PAO, when a volatile acid was used as the medium of the hydrogenation reaction.

930525 RV5 1 UKNG3.0-001 BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a convenient method for preparing optically 5 active or racemic phenylalaninols and their derivatives. More specifically theinvention pertains to a method for producing those compounds by hydrogenation of 2-amino-1-phenyl-1,3-propanediol (APPD) in the presence of a strong volatile acid .
Optically pure phenylalaninols are interesting compounds useful as optical-resolution agents (Japanese Patent 5959651), renin inhibitors (Biochem. Biophys.Res. Commun. 143,44 (1987)), and C-terminal protecting group in peptide synthesis (J. Chem. Soc. Perkin Trans. l, 535 (1988)).
The classical method of preparing phenylalaninol is the reduction of a phenylalanine derivative by lithium aluminium or borane hydrides. However, this is a rather expensive process and dependent on the availability of L- or D-phenylalanine. Another approach to prepare D-phenylalaninol is starting from L( + )-2-amino-1 -phenyl-1,3-propanediol (APPD), which can be obtained as the by-20 product from chloramphenicol or thiamphenicol synthesis.
There are many possible methods for hydrogenating the hydroxyl group at benzyl position of APPD. For example, US patent 3084099 issued to Hays et al.
describes a method of preparing 1-benzyl-iso-propyl amine from 1-phenyl-2-25 methyl-2-amino-propanol by hydrogenation in 57% hydriodic acid with red phosphorous. However, the strongly acidic condition of this system may induce iodination of other hydroxyl groups. In fact, the hydrogenation of APPD in the above conditions produced 1-phenyl-2-amino-3-iodopropane instead of phenylalaninol, as disclosed in Japanese Patent 3910914. Other approaches were 30 made by two independent groups. Boerner et al. prepared D-phenylalaninol fromL( + )-APPD by 4 steps with a total yield of 31 % (Pharmazie 45, 531 (1990)). Onthe other hand, the hydrogenation of L( + )-APPD in the presence of sulfuric acid a, 30~9(~
930525 RV5 2 UKNG3.0-001 was found to give D-phenylalaninol (D-PAO) in 73-85% yield (Hashizume, Japanese Patent 63255254). It is obvious that the latter is quite cost-effective.
However, in this process, it is necessary to use excess amounts of base to neutralize the reaction mixture for the recovery of D-PAO because an excess 5 amount of sulfuric acid is used. When the pH of the reaction mixture is adjusted to above 11, large amounts of salts are produced and some of them, including small amount of D-PAO, are precipitated. This phenomenon makes the work-up process very complicated. Furthermore, it makes it impossible to derivatize phenylalaninol into desired forms such as N-terminal blocked phenylalaninols 10 without isolation of phenylalaninol.
In order to overcome these disadvantages, it would be desirable to provide an improved process for preparing optically active phenylalaninol or their derivatives, and for preparing N-blocked phenylalaninols without isolation of 15 phenylalaninol or their derivatives.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
The present invention is directed to the hydrogenation of chiral or racemic 20 2-amino-1-phenyl-1,3-propanediols (APPD) in a strong volatile acid, suitably trifluoroacetic acid ITFA) to produce corresponding phenylalaninols. The presentinvention affords higher reactivity than the prior art (JP 63255254), with no side reactions or need to remove by-products. In another embodiment, the invention is directed to the direct derivatization of D-PAO without its prior isolation.
L( + )-2-amino-1 -phenyl-1,3-propanediol or its ring substituted derivatives can be converted into the corresponding phenylalaninols by hydrogenation in the presence of acid.

wherein R is H, alkyl of C, - C7, or halogen, suitably bromine, chlorine, fluorine, and iodine.
Among many organic or inorganic acids investigated, TFA gave the best 15 result in a viewpoint of reactivity, lack of side reactions, and ease of work-up process. The reactions were carried out both under high pressure and merely by bubbling in hydrogen gas.
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
Various experiments were carried out in which APPD of general formula (1 ) was dissolved in a variety of strong acids, volatile and otherwise, such as sulfuric acid, hydrochloric acid, hydriodic acid, p-toluenesulfuric acid, phosphoric acid, acetic acid, trichloroacetic acid (TCA) or TFA.
The reactions were carried out with or without the addition of a suitable solvent, for example water or ethanol. The catalyst (Pd/C or Pt/C) was then added. The catalyst is then added, and the reaction carried out under high pressure of up to 5 atmospheres or merely by bubbling in the hydrogen gas at a 30 certain temperature, suitably between about 25 and 100 C. After a certain time, say about 12 to about 36, suitably about 24 hours, the conversion was determined by HPLC. Then, volatile acid, where present, such as acetic acid, 930525 RV5 4 UKNG3.0-001 TCA or TFA was removed by evaporation and recovered by condensation. The reaction mixture was diluted with water and catalyst is filtered off. The pH of the filtrate was adjusted to over 13. The isolation of PAO of general formula (2), was carried out by recrystallization or distillation.
Direct derivatization was carried out in the reaction mixture. This was cooled at 4 C, and a suitable derivatizing agent, for example benzyl chloroformate was added dropwise, whereby the N-blocked phenylalaninol was precipitated.
After filtration, white crystals were obtained by recrystallization in water/methanol 10 (1:1).
The following examples are illustrative embodiments of this invention.
However, these examples are for illustrative purposes only and should not be construed as limitations upon the invention.
EXAMPLE 1:
1 ml of concentrated sulfuric acid was slowly added to 15 ml of water, and 75 mg of 5% Pd/C and 19 of L( + )-2-amino-1 -phenyl-1 ,3-propanediol ((L + )-APPD) added thereto. The reactions were carried out under 35 psi hydrogen pressure 20 at 55 C. After 24 hours, the reaction was terminated by filtration to remove the catalyst. The pH of the filtrate was adjusted to ca. 3 by adding 50/O aqueous NaOH, and diluted with water (10 mll and methanol ~10 ml). The conversion was determined by HPLC under the following conditions;
