Definitions
- the present invention relates to a process for converting an N-formyl-protected aminonitrile compound to the corresponding N-formyl-protected amino alcohol or amino alcohol compound or mixtures thereof by reductive hydrolysis in the presence of water, hydrogen and a homogeneous transition metal catalyst, which is a coordination complex composed of one or more Ru coordination centers and at least one tri-dentate ligand having 3 phosphine functions but no other heteroatoms, and which is brought into contact with a chloride source.
- the homogeneous transition metal catalyst exhibits a particular good stability, activity, selectivity and long lifetime.
- the present invention also relates to a homogeneous transition metal catalyst which is a coordination complex composed of one or more Ru coordination centers, at least one chloride ligand and at least one 1 , 1 , 1 -T ri s(b is (3 , 5- dimethylphenyl)phosphinomethyl)ethane ligand, a tri-dentate ligand having 3 phosphine functions but no other heteroatoms.
- the nitration step of this synthesis route is not very selective, and it is associated with safety issues as some nitroalkanes are shock-sensitive and can explode when not treated properly.
- WO 2020/094454 A recently suggested a synthesis route which is based on the reductive nitrile hydrolysis of the corresponding nitrile compound.
- Central step of this approach is the reductive hydrolysis of the nitrile group of the starting compound.
- the nitrile is hydrogenated in the presence of a homogeneous transition metal catalyst and water to form the corresponding alcohol and ammonia as a byproduct.
- an N-formyl-protected aminonitrile is employed as starting compound and such N-formyl-aminonitrile is converted either (i) directly in a one-step process to the desired amino alcohol or (ii) in a two-step process with the formation of the corresponding N-formyl-amino alcohol as intermediate which is deprotected to the desired amino alcohol in a separate second step, as shown below.
- the reductive hydrolysis of the nitrile group for the formation of the corresponding alcohol group in the one-step process or the first step of the two-step process is carried out in the presence of hydrogen, water and preferably with a ruthenium (Ru) based complex as homogeneous transition metal catalyst.

Dans un tel procédé, le catalyseur de métal de transition homogène présente une bonne stabilité, une bonne activité, une bonne sélectivité et une longue durée de vie. Par conséquent, la présente invention concerne également un catalyseur de métal de transition homogène qui est un complexe de coordination composé d'un ou de plusieurs centres de coordination de Ru, d'au moins un ligand de chlorure et d'au moins un ligand de 1,1,1-Tris(bis(3,5-diméthylphényl)phosphinométhyl)éthane, d'un ligand tridenté ayant 3 fonctions phosphine mais pas d'autres hétéroatomes.
