Description

Method for preparing BOC- (R) -3-amino-4- (2,4, 5-trifluorophenyl) butyric acid

Technical Field

The invention relates to the technical field of organic synthetic drugs, and particularly relates to a method for preparing high-purity BOC- (R) -3-amino-4- (2,4, 5-trifluorophenyl) butyric acid.

Background

Sitagliptin phosphate (Sitagliptin phosphate) developed by Merck company in the United states, the first dipeptidyl peptidase (DPP-IV) inhibitor approved by FDA to be on the market in 2006 and 10 months is mainly used for treating type II diabetes, and the single use or the combination with metformin has obvious hypoglycemic effect compared with the combination of glitazone, and the Sitagliptin phosphate is safe to take, good in tolerance and less in adverse reaction. The drug for treating type II diabetes by sitagliptin phosphate is one of hot drugs, and is expensive in market at present. BOC- (R) -3-amino-4- (2,4, 5-trifluorophenyl) butanoic acid is a key intermediate of sitagliptin phosphate. The structure is as follows:

the synthetic route of sitagliptin is as follows:

the condensation impurity A is inevitably generated in the process of synthesizing the BOC- (R) -3-amino-4- (2,4, 5-trifluorophenyl) butyric acid, and the generation and the content of the impurity directly influence the quality of the BOC- (R) -3-amino-4- (2,4, 5-trifluorophenyl) butyric acid and the quality of the synthesized sitagliptin phosphate. The condensed impurity A has the following structure:

the condensation impurities undergo a series of reactions to produce impurity B in the finished sitagliptin product as follows:

if the content of the condensed impurity A in liquid phase detection is more than 0.20%, the single known impurity of BOC- (R) -3-amino-4- (2,4, 5-trifluorophenyl) butyric acid is high, and the impurity B generated in the subsequent synthesis of sitagliptin exceeds the standard, so that the product quality of the sitagliptin is unqualified. It is difficult to remove the condensed impurities by recrystallization, resulting in a decrease in yield and an increase in cost, which is not favorable for industrial production.

Patent CN109824546A discloses the structure and preparation method of the condensation impurity A and the influence on the quality of the raw material drug sitagliptin phosphate. Patent CN102199102B mentions that the preparation of BOC- (R) -3-amino-4- (2,4, 5-trifluorophenyl) butyric acid by using dichloromethane as a solvent has the disadvantages of large generated condensed impurity A, purification by column chromatography, high cost and difficult industrial production. In patent CN105331651A, the condensation impurity A generated by the method is still large when tetrahydrofuran is used as a solvent to prepare BOC- (R) -3-amino-4- (2,4, 5-trifluorophenyl) butyric acid.

In view of this, the application provides a method for preparing high-purity BOC- (R) -3-amino-4- (2,4, 5-trifluorophenyl) butanoic acid, which has the advantages of simple preparation process, high product purity and low impurity content, effectively solves the above problems in the prior art, and is suitable for industrial production.
