Development of a Manufacturing Process for a Key (S)-5-(2,2-Dimethyltetrahydro-2H-pyran-4-yl)-1H-indole Intermediate for Orforglipron. Part II. Development of a CSTR Process for Evans Auxiliary-Assisted Asymmetric 1,4-Addition
A scalable 8-step route incorporating Evans auxiliary-assisted asymmetric 1,4-addition was developed for a key (S)-5-(2,2-dimethyltetrahydro-2H-pyran-4-yl)-1H-indole intermediate of orforglipron. The main challenges of the batch process included the copper complex’s stability, the high exothermicity of the reaction, and the control of a key diastereomeric impurity. These challenges were addressed by developing a CSTR process to prepare the copper complex, enabling “on-demand” preparation and improved heat transfer to control the reaction temperature. A simple slurry purification was devised to isolate a metastable polymorph that effectively reduced the diastereomeric impurity to acceptable levels. The optimized process was successfully scaled up to >400 kg, demonstrating its robustness.
期刊介绍:
The journal Organic Process Research & Development serves as a communication tool between industrial chemists and chemists working in universities and research institutes. As such, it reports original work from the broad field of industrial process chemistry but also presents academic results that are relevant, or potentially relevant, to industrial applications. Process chemistry is the science that enables the safe, environmentally benign and ultimately economical manufacturing of organic compounds that are required in larger amounts to help address the needs of society. Consequently, the Journal encompasses every aspect of organic chemistry, including all aspects of catalysis, synthetic methodology development and synthetic strategy exploration, but also includes aspects from analytical and solid-state chemistry and chemical engineering, such as work-up tools,process safety, or flow-chemistry. The goal of development and optimization of chemical reactions and processes is their transfer to a larger scale; original work describing such studies and the actual implementation on scale is highly relevant to the journal. However, studies on new developments from either industry, research institutes or academia that have not yet been demonstrated on scale, but where an industrial utility can be expected and where the study has addressed important prerequisites for a scale-up and has given confidence into the reliability and practicality of the chemistry, also serve the mission of OPR&D as a communication tool between the different contributors to the field.
