Technical Field
[1] The present invention relates to a novel synthetic intermediate that is used to prepare pyrrolylheptanoic acid derivatives including
(3R,5R)-7-[2-(4-fluorphenyl)-5-isopropyl-3-phenyl-4-(phenylcarbamoyl)-lH-pyrrol-l- yl]-3,5-dihydroxyheptanoic acid, which show their therapeutic effect to treat hyper- lipidemia, and a process for preparing pyrrolylheptanoic acid derivatives therefrom.
[2]
Background Art
[3] The derivative,
(3R,5R)-7-[2-(4-fluorphenyl)-5-isopropyl-3-phenyl-4-(phenylcarbamoyl)-lH-pyrrol-l- yl]-3,5-dihydroxyheptanoic acid, (hereinafter, referred to as 'Formula 1 derivative') is disclosed in US Patent Nos. 4,681,893 and 5,273,995, and has been widely used to treat hyperlipidemia since it has effects to suppress functions of HMG-CoA reductase and acyl-coenzyme A: cholesterol acyltransferase (ACAT). Also, the derivative is a medicine that has been commercially available in the form of calcium salt that has a chemical structure represented by the following Formula 1.
[4] [5] <Formula 1>
Figure imgf000002_0001
[7] [8] The process for preparing the Formula 1 derivative is disclosed in many patents and documents such as US Patent Nos. 4,681,893, 5,124,482 and 5,216,174, and Korean Patent Publication No. 2006-8015, etc. In general, an intermediate, (4R-cis)-l,l-dimethylethyl-6-[2-[2-(4-fluorphenyl)-5-(l-methylethyl)-3-phenyl-4-[(ph enylamino)carbonyl]-lH-pyrrol-l-yl]ethyl]-2,2-dimethyl-l,3-dioxane-4-acetate, was prepared by the pyrolization between the derivatives, 4-(4-fluorphenyl)-2-isobutylyl-3-phenyl-4-oxo-N-phenyl-butylamide and (4R-cis)- 1 , 1 -dimethylethyl-6-(2-aminoethyl)-2,2-dimethyl- 1 ,3-dioxane-4-acetate, and then deesterified, and reacted with calcium acetate monohydrate to prepare the Formula 1 derivative, as shown in the following Scheme 1.
[9] <Scheme 1>
Figure imgf000003_0001
[H] [12] In the Scheme 1, a derivative,
4-(4-fluorphenyl)-2-isobutylyl-3-phenyl-4-oxo-N-phenyl-butylamide, used as a starting material to prepare the Formula 1 derivative may be synthesized according to the following Scheme 2.
[13] <Scheme 2>
Figure imgf000003_0002
[15] [16] However, the preparation process has problems in that the final product may be produced in a low yield and a large amount of by-products may also be produced since it is necessary to conduct the reaction under the anhydrous condition, the chemical reactions in the preparation process should be carried out for a long-term period, for example, for 24 hours or more, and it is very difficult to prepare a pharmaceutical composition since it is necessary to use very expensive catalysts such as 3-ethyl-5-(2-hydroxyethyl)-4-methylthiazonium bromide.
[17] [18] Also, another process for preparing a derivative
4-(4-fluorphenyl)-2-isobutylyl-3-phenyl-4-oxo-N-phenyl-butylamide derivative used as a starting material to prepare the Formula 1 derivative, as shown in the Scheme 1, is disclosed in International Publication No. 03/004457 and Korean Patent Publication No. 2004-1435, and presented by the following Scheme 3.
[19] <Scheme 3>
Figure imgf000004_0001
[21] [22] In the Scheme 3, a derivative, 2-bromo-l-(4-fluorphenyl)-2-phenylethan-l-one, is used as a reactant to prepare a starting material,
4-(4-fluorphenyl)-2-isobutylyl-3-phenyl-4-oxo-N-phenyl-butylamide, which is used to prepare the Formula 1 derivative as shown in the Scheme 1. However, the 2-bromo-l-(4-fluorphenyl)-2-phenylethan-l-one derivative used as the reactant has problems in that it is difficult to be mass-produced since its preparation process is carried out for a long-term period, for example, for 24 hours or more, and the use of toxic bromine may be detrimental to the environment as well as workers.
[23] [24] As described above, the conventional processes for preparing an intermediate, 4-(4-fluorphenyl)-2-isobutylyl-3-phenyl-4-oxo-N-phenyl-butylamide, that has been used to prepare the Formula 1 derivative have problems in that the intermediate is produced in a low yield and the by-products are also produced in a large amount. Also, the conventional processes have problems in that it is necessary to conduct the reaction for a long-term period, many complicated reaction processes should be carried out under the anhydrous condition, and it is difficult to makes them commercially available since they are detrimental to the environment.
[25] [26] Therefore, in order to solve the problems associated with the
4-(4-fluorphenyl)-2-isobutylyl-3-phenyl-4-oxo-N-phenyl-butylamide intermediate used to prepare the known Formula 1 derivative, there have been demands for a preparation process using new intermediates that may be used to prepare the pyrrolylheptanoic acid derivatives.
[27] [28] Accordingly, the present inventors have found that a novel intermediate used to prepare pyrrolylheptanoic acid derivatives was developed to solve the problems associated with the
4-(4-fluorphenyl)-2-isobutylyl-3-phenyl-4-oxo-N-phenyl-butylamide intermediate used to prepare the known Formula 1 derivative, for example, the problems associated with the production of the intermediate in a low yield and a large amount of by-products and the demand for the fastidious reaction conditions such as the anhydrous condition, and the pyrrolylheptanoic acid derivatives were prepared from the intermediate.
Therefore, the present invention was completed on the basis of the above facts. [29]
