Abstract

1472396 2-Deutero-3-fluoroalanine MERCK & CO Inc 28 July 1975 [31 July 1974] 31488/75 Heading C2C A process for resolving a DL-mixture of a 2- deutero-3-fluoro-DL-alanine salt, comprises preparing a saturated C 1-6 alkanolic solution of said DL-mixture in a solution zone; transforming the said solution into a supersaturated solution of the DL-mixture; contacting the supersaturated solution with crystals of one of the corresponding individual isomers, thereby crystallizing the said isomer from the said solution ; and recovering the other individual isomer from the resulting mother liquor.

Description

The invention is concerned with the preparation of 2-deutero 3-fluoro-D-alkanine, which is a potent antibacterial, agent valuable in inhibiting the growth of. pathogenic bacteria of both the gram-positive and gram-negative types. in accordance with the present invention, a BL-mixture of 2-deutoro-3-fluoro-DL-alanine salt such as an organic sul 1’onate salt, e.g. 2-deutoro-3-fluoiO-DL-alanine benzene sulfonate, 2- deutcro-3-fluoro-DL-alanine p-toluensulfonate; ox- 2-deutero3- fluoro-DL-alanine 2-naphthalene-sulfonate, is resolved by preparing a saturated alkanolic solution of said DLmixfcure in a solution zone; transforming the said .solution into a supersaturated solution ol' the DL-mixture; contacting the supersaturated solution with crystals of one of the corresponding individual isomers, thereby crystallizing the said isomer from said solution; and recovering the other individual isomer from the resulting mother liqor. The alkanol used is preferably ethanol or propanol. The supersaturated solution is conveniently formed by raising the temperature in the solution zone to about 30°C. and maintaining approximately a 5°C. differential between the temperature in the dissolver and that in the crystallizer. In accordance with a preferred embodiment of this procedure, a solution of 2-deutero-3-fluoro-B£-alanine benzene sulfonate in propanol, prepared in a dissolver, is 1 transformed into a supersaturated propanolic solution, the latter is then contacted with crystalline seed of 2-deutcro3-fluoro-L-alanine benzene sulfonate, and the mother liquor is separated from the crystalline material that separates.
It is ordinarily preferred <1498 to first crystallize the unwanted L-isomer, since greater chance of contamination occurs in this initial crystallizing step. The said mother liquor, with or without increase in supersaturation, is then contacted with crystalline seed of 2-deutero-3-fluoro-B~alanine benzene sulfonate, and the crystalline D-isomer,which precipitates,is separated from the mother liquor; the propanolic mother liquor from this second crystallization is returned to the dissolver. In the continuous operation of this process, the mother liquor from the second crystallization (i.e. of the D-isomer) is recycled into the dissolver, and the crystallized D- and L-isomers are withdrawn from each crystallizer continuously or intermittently.
Similarly, a solution of the 2-deutero~3-fluoro-DL15 alanine benzene sulfonate in ethanol, prepared in the dissolver, is transformed into a supersatured ethanol solution, the latter is then contacted with crystalline seed of 2-deutero-3-fluoro-L-alanine benzene sulfonate, the mother liquor is separated from the crystalline material which separates, and is then contacted with crystalline seed of 2-deutero-3-fluoro-D-alanine benzene sulfonate; the crystalline D-isomer which precipitates,is separated, and the ethanolic mother liquor from this second crystallization is returned to the dissolver.
Although it is preferred to conduct the continuous process as a series operation, it can be carried out in parallel if desired, i.e. by dividing the solution from the dissolver into two equal parts, forming a supersaturated solution with each part, contacting one part _ with seed of D^isomer and contacting the other with seed 44488 of L-isomer, and recycling both mother liquors to the dissolver, Lhe crystallized P- and L-isomern being isolated from their respective slurries continuously or intermittently.
Alternatively, this continuous direct resolution may be carried out in a process involving only two steps, i.e. a solution step and a crystallization step. In a preferred embodiment of this two-step method, a saturated propanolic solution of 2-deutero-3-fluoro10 . DL-alanine benzene sulfonate is prepared in the dissolver, and the solution is transferred to a crystallization 2one where the solution is rendered supersaturated, preferably by reducing i.ts temperature . The supersaturated propanol solution of 2-deutero-3-fluoro-DL15 alanine benzene sulfonate is seeded with crystals of the corresponding D-isomcr, thereby effecting selective crystallization of the said D-isomer in substantially pure form, and this crystalline 2-deutero-3-fluoro-D-alanine benzene sulfonate is then recovered by filtration or centrifugation. The mother liquors are then returned to the dissolver and the temperature is elevated to the temperature of the original solution in the dissolver.
The resulting solution is then contacted with additional 2-deutero-3-fluoro-d3L-alanine benzene sulfonate, thereby selectively dissolving the P-isomer. leaving the _Lr isomer undissolved in substantially pure form, thus continuously effecting selective separation of one of the enantiomorphs constituting the DL-mixture in the solution zone (i.e. the L-isomer), and effecting separation of tiie other enantiomorph (i.e. the. D-isomer) in the crystallization 41488 zone, said D- and L-isomers being removed from the crystallization and solution zones in a continuous or intermittent fashion as they are formed.
As noted hereinabove, the 2-deutero-3-fluoro-D5 alanine is a potent and useful antibacterial agent, and is useful in inhibiting the growth of pathogenic bacteria of both gram-positive and gram-negative genera.
The following examples illustrate methods of carrying out the present invention, but it is to be understood that these examples are given for purposes of illustration and not of limitation.
Example 1 An apparatus .consisting of three vessels, each equipped with a stirrer and a means of temperature control, which are connected in a circle by delivery lines, each of which begins in an internal filter and passes through a pump to the next vessel. Additional filters are also inserted after each pump. The first vessel in the circuit, the dissolver, is further equipped f°v the addition of solid 2-deutero-3-fluoro-DL-alanine benzenesulfonate and solvent. The other two vessels are the D and L crystallizers, respectively. The operation of the equipment is a follows.
Two liters of propanol is charged to the dissolver 25 and 400 grams of 2-deutero-3-fluoro-DL-alanine benzenesulfonate is added. The slurry is equilibrated at 25°C for one hour and then pumping is started to the L-crystallizer.
When the volume in the L-crystallizer reaches 500 ml., the pump between the L- and D-crystallizers is started, and the rate is adjusted to maintain the 500 ml volume in the L-crystallizer. When lhe volume in l.iie D-crystallizer reaches 500 ml, the pump between the D-crystallizer and the dissolver is started, and the rate is adjusted to maintain the volume constant. An additional one liter of propanol and 170 grams of 2-deutero-3-fluoroDL-alanine benzene sulfonate are added to the dissolver, and the system equilibrated at 25°C. by pumping from vessel to vessel. grams of 2-deutero-3-fluoro-L-alanine benzenesulfonate is added to the L-crystallizer and grams of 2-deutero-3-fluoro-D-alanine benzenesulfonate is added to the D-crystallizer.
Tho temperature is then raised in the dissolver to 30°C which develops a supersaturation in the crystallizers, which are maintained at 25°C. Additional solid 2-deuter'o-3-fluoro-DL-alanine benzenesulfonate is added to the dissolver to maintain a solid phase.
The solid phase in each of the crystallizers is maintained approximately constant by occasionally 2θ removing some of the crystalline slurry from each crystallizer. Filtration of the propanol slurry from the L-crystallizer gives substantially pure 2-deutero-3• fluoro-L-alanine benzenesulfonate; filtration of slurry from the D-crystallizer gives substantially pure 2-deutero-3-fluoro-D-alanine benzenesulfonate. The filtrates are returned to the dissolver.
Productivity can be increased by raising the temperature of the dissolver and maintenance of solid phase. However, the risk of contamination and production ,.. of less pure 2-deutero-3-fluoro-IP-&lanine benzenesulfonate 41438 increases with higher supersaturation. In the event of contamination, the product can be purified by a simple batchwise recrystallization from aqueous isopropanol.
The 2-deutero-3-fluoro-D~alanine benzenesulfonate is converted to 2-deutero-3-fluoro~D-alanine by dissolving the salt in water and adsorbing the amino 4* acid on a sulfonic acid (H cycle) resin. The column is washed with water and then eluted with dilute aqueous ammonia solution. The eluate is concentrated to a small volume and the 2-deutero-3-fluoro-D-alanine crystallized by addition of isopropanol.
Example 2 In a manner analogous to that described in Example 1, 7 liters of n-propanol is charged to ) an eight liter kinetic resolution system, equipped with a dissolver, an L-column, a D-column and appropriate temperature controllers and pumps. To the dissolver are added 1200 grams of 2-deutero-3-fluoro-DL-alanine benzenesulfonate, and the system is saturated at 27°C ' for one hour. The D- and L-columns are adjusted to 25°C., and 100 grams of appropriate seed of 100-120 mesh (U.S. Standard) is- added to each column. The column temperatures are adjusted to 22°C, while the dissolver is maintained at 27°C. A flow rate of 300-600 ml./minute is maintained through each column for an eight hour period.
The flow rate is such as to maintain the maximum fluidized bed height throughout the run. After eight hours, the contents of the D-columns are filtered, the crystalline material is washed with two 400 ml. portions of n-propanol and four 400 ml. portions of n-hexane, and air-dried to give 400 grams of 2-deutero-3-fluoro-D-alanine 61698 benzenesulfonate of 100% optical purity. The crystalline 2-deutero-3-fli oro-L-alanine benzenesulfonate is recovered from the L-column in a similar manner. grams of 2-deutcro-3-fluoro-D-alaninc benzenesulfonate is dissolved with stirring in 30 ml. of 50% aqueous lsopropanol at room temperature. The clear colorless solution is coo I cd with stirring to about 0MC.,and 3.H grams of triethyLamine is added dropwise to this solution; crystallization occurs fi flowing addition of the first drops of triethylamine. The crystalline slurry is stirred at 0°C. for a period of half an hour and filtered. The recovered crystalline material is washed with 50 ml. of cold 90% aqueous isopropanol, 50 ml. isopropanol, then with licxane, and air-dried at room temperature to give about 3-9 grains of 2-deutero-3-fluoro-D-alanine.
