Abstract
A method for preparing a fumarate salt of a compound represented by Formula (II):
(see formula I) (wherein R1 represents a hydrogen atom or a lower alkyl group, and R2 represents a lower alkyl group), which comprises carbamating a compound represented by Formula (I) :
(see formula II) (wherein R1 represents a hydrogen atom or a lower alkyl group), removing all carbamate groups from this compound, alkylating the nitrogen atom at the 3'-position of the desosamine ring in the resulting compound to give the compound represented by Formula (II), and converting this compound into a fumarate salt, wherein the compound represented by Formula (I) is carbamated in the presence of a cyclic ether or a carboxylic ester. This method enables efficient preparation of high-quality erythromycin derivatives.

Chem. Lett., vol. 4(11), 1347 (1994). This publication discloses a method in which a compound corresponding to Compound 5 of the present invention is carbamated in the presence of toluene to prepare a compound corresponding to Compound 6 of the present invention. It also discloses a method in which a compound corresponding to Compound 6 of the present invention is catalytically hydrogenated under a hydrogen atmosphere using a palladium-carbon catalyst to prepare a compound corresponding to Compound 7 of the present invention. Further, it discloses a method in which a compound corresponding to Compound 8 of the present invention is dissolved in methanol together with fumarate and then crystallized by addition of isopropanol to prepare crystals of a fumarate salt of Compound 8 according to the present invention. Furthermore, it discloses a method in which crystals of a fumarate salt of Compound 8 according to the present invention are dissolved in methanol, followed by addition of isopropanol to prepare purified crystals of a fumarate salt of Compound 8 according to the present invention.

Starting with a compound corresponding to Compound 5 of the present invention, carbamation in the solvent described in JP 9-100291 A involves a problem of slow reaction and extended time for completion of the reaction and also involves a problem of complicated and inefficient procedures because the solvent should be replaced by a water-immiscible solvent such as ethyl acetate to extract a reaction product, i.e., a compound corresponding to Compound 6 of the present invention. Likewise, in a case where a compound corresponding to Compound 6 of the present invention is catalytically hydrogenated under a hydrogen atmosphere using a palladium-carbon catalyst, this method involves a problem that the reaction product may be decomposed because the reaction mixture becomes acidic during the reaction. Further, in a case where a compound corresponding to Compound 8 of the present invention is dissolved in methanol together with fumarate and then crystallized by addition of isopropanol, this method involves a problem that the resulting crystals are difficult to dry and highly impure. Furthermore, in a case where crystals of a fumarate salt of a compound corresponding to Compound 8 of the present invention are dissolved in methanol, followed by addition of isopropanol to prepare crystals of a fumarate salt of a compound corresponding to Compound 8 of the present invention, this method involves a problem that the resulting crystals are difficult to dry and highly impure.
The present invention was made in view of the problems stated above and aims to provide an efficient method for preparing erythromycin derivatives. It also aims to provide a method for preparing erythromycin derivatives of high quality.
