These compounds are intermediates in the synthesis of compounds having antithrombotic activity.
Ethyl 4-methyl-2-piporidine carboxylate is described in European Patent 0,008,746 in the form of a racemate and the preparation of the (2R-trans) form is performed by preferential crystallisation using tartaric acid via the corresponding acid (4-methyl-2-piperidinecarbox lic acid).
The process according to the invention consists in a separation of the enantioroers by means of an enzyme which is capable of preferentially hydrolysing the (2S-trans) enantio er, leaving the (2R-trans) onantiomcr intact.
The process according to the invention makes it possible to obtain the optically pure (2R-trans) enantiomer in good yield and with enantiomeric excesses of between 98 and 99%.
The starting compound, in the form of a racemate and of trans configuration, is dissolved in an organic solvent such as, for example, 1, 1-dimethylethyl methyl ether, to which is added an aqueous solution buffered with a 0.01 mixture at pH 7 of sodium hydrogen phosphate and potassium dihydrogen phosphate. The pH of the reaction medium is adjusted to 7.4 and the enzyme is added. The reaction occurs in 4 to 25 hours, depending on the enzyme used, at a temperature of 20 to 37 °C and at a pH of 7.4, which is kept constant by addition of a 1 M sodium hydroxide solution with the aid of a pH-stat. The progress of the reaction is monitored by high performance liquid chromatography on a chiral phase. At the end of the reaction the pH is adjusted to 9, the insoluble material is filtered off, if necessary, and extraction is carried out using an organic solvent such as, for example, diethyl ether.
Preferred enzymes which may be used in the process of the invention in order to preferentially hydrolyse the (2S-trans) enantiomer are lipase AY, lipase N, lipase M Amano 10 (Mucor) or prozyme 6 Aspergillus from the company Amano Pharmaceutical Ltd., protease Aspergillus oryzae (Sigma) , cholesterol esterase (Boehringer) , sheep pancreas acetone powder (Sigma) or porcine type I pancreas acetone powder (Sigma) .
The starting compounds are commercially available or are described in the literature or may be prepared according to methods which are described therein or which are known to a person skilled in the art.
The following examples illustrate the process of the invention. Elemental microanalyses and the IR and N R spectra confirm the structure of the compounds obtained.
Example 1 Ethyl (2R-trans) -4-methyl-2-piperidinecarboxylate Method 1 10 g (58.5 mmol) of the racemate ethyl (trans) -4-methyl-2-piperidinecarboxylate are dissolved in 40 ml of 1, 1-dimethylethyl methyl ether and 150 ml of 0.01 M phosphate buffer (KH2P04 + Na2HP04) at pH 7.
The pH is adjusted to 7.4 with a 1 M hydrochloric acid solution and 8 g of porcine type I pancreas acetone powder (Sigma) are then added. The pH is kept constant during the 4 hours 30 minutes of reaction by addition of a 1 M sodium hydroxide solution with the aid of a pH-stat and the progress of the reaction is followed by high performance liquid chromatography on a chiral phase. After addition of 31 ml of sodium hydroxide, 100 ml of diethyl ether are added, the pH is adjusted to 9 and the mixture is filtered through Celite. The extraction is repeated- 4 times and the organic phases are combined, dried over magnesium sulphate and filtered and the solvent is evaporated off under vacuum. 4.23 g of the expected^compound are obtained in the form of an oil, with an enantiomeric excess of 98 %.
Yield = 42 % [a 22 (C = 2.66 ethanol) Method 2 1.21 g (7.08 mmol) of the racemate ethyl (trans) -4-methyl-2-piperidinecarboxylate are suspended in 30 ml of 0.01 M phosphate buffer ( H2P04 + Na2HP04) at pH 7. The pH is adjusted to 7 with a 1 M hydrochloric acid solution and 1.5 g of Prozyme 6 (Amano) are then added. The pH is kept constant during the 22 hours of reaction by addition of a 1 M sodium hydroxide solution with the aid of a pH-stat and the progress of the reaction is followed by high performance liquid chromatography on a chiral phase. After 22 hours, the pH is adjusted to 9 and the chiral ester is extracted with 4 times 40 ml of diethyl ether. The organic phases are combined, dried over magnesium sulphate and filtered and the solvent is evaporated off under vacuum. 430 mg of the expected compound are obtained in the form of an oil, with an enantiomeric excess of 96 %.
Yield = 35 % Example 2 Ethyl (2R-trans) -4-ethyl-2-piperidinecarboxylate 1 g (5.4 mmol) of the racemate ethyl (trans) -4-ethyl-2-piperidinecarboxylate is dissolved in 58 ml of toluene. 58 ml of 0.01 M phosphate buffer (KH2P04 + Na2HP04) at pH 7 and 1.3 g of porcine type I pancreas acetone powder (Sigma) are added. The progress of the reaction is followed by high performance liquid chromatography on a chiral column and at the end of 4 hours 50 ml of diethyl ether are added, the pH is adjusted to 9 and the solution is filtered through Celite. The extraction is repeated 4 times and the organic phases are combined, dried over magnesium sulphate, filtered and evaporated under vacuum. 500 mg of product are obtained in the form of an oil, with an enantiomeric excess of 99 %.

A compound protected on the nitrogen is obtained, which is saponified with an aqueous sodium hydroxide solution, and the carboxyl functionality is then reduced either by the mixed anhydride method described by Valerio R.M. et al. in Synthesis, 1988, 786 or by the action of borane-dimethyl sulphide in a solvent such as tetrahydrofuran. The amine is then deprotected by the action of trifluoroacetic acid.
