The present invention relates to a process for the preparation of D-glucitol, 1,5-anhydro-1-C-[4-chloro-3-[[4-[[(3S)-tetrahydro-3-furanyl]oxy]phenyl]methyl] phenyl]-, (1S), which is represented by the following formula-1
D-Glucitol, 1,5-anhydro-1-C-[4-chloro-3-[[4-[[(3S)-tetrahydro-3-furanyl]oxy]phenyl]methyl] phenyl]-, (1S) also known as “Empagliflozin” is sodium-glucose co-transporter 2 (SGLT2) and this drug product indicated as an adjunct to diet and exercise to improve glycemic control in adults with type 2 diabetes mellitus. It is marketed by Boehringer under the trade name Jardiance® and it is available in 10 mg and 25 mg strengths as tablet dosage forms.
U.S. Pat. No. 7,579,449 describes Empagliflozin product and also a process for the preparation thereof comprising reaction of 4-bromo-1-chloro-2-(4-methoxybenzyl)-benzene with tribromoborane in dichloromethane to produce 4-(5-bromo-2-chloro-benzyl)-phenol which is reacted with t-butyl dimethyl silyl chloride in dichloromethane in presence of triethylamine and dimethylaminopyridine to get [4-(5-bromo-2-chloro-benzyl)-phenoxy]-tert-butyldimethyl-silane which is further reacted with n-BuLi in tetrahydrofuran followed by coupling with 2,3,4,6-tetrakis-O-(trimethylsilyl)-D-glucopyranone. The resulting reaction mixture is treated with methanesulfonic acid (MsOH) in methanol followed by reduction with triethylsilylhydride and boron trifluoride etherate and acylated with acetic anhydride/pyridine in dichloromethane followed by treating with KOH in methanol to produce (2S, 3R, 4R, 5S, 6R)-2-(4-chloro-3-(4-hydroxybenzyl)phenyl)-6-(hydroxymethyl) tetrahydro-2H-pyran-3,4,5-triol (pentahydroxy intermediate). This pentahydroxy intermediate is reacted with tetrahydrofuran-3-yl (S)-toluene-4-sulphonate in presence of cesium carbonate (Cs2CO3) in dimethylformamide (DMF) to produce the Empagliflozin of formula-1.
The major disadvantage of the above process is the difficulty in avoiding formation/separation of (R)-isomer of Empagliflozin which is formed on reaction of tetrahydrofuran-3-yl (S)-toluene-4-sulphonate intermediate compound with pentahydroxy intermediate. This is due to use of tetrahydrofuran-3-yl (S)-toluene-4-sulphonate intermediate which is exists as a residue nature the contamination of the R-isomer. Hence, this process requires multiple purification methods to remove the R-isomer of Empagliflozin which led to increasing the cost of the product. Therefore, the above process is not viable for industrial scale preparation.
The above prior art process also produces very low yield of Empagliflozin on reaction of pentahydroxy intermediate with tetrahydrofuran-3-yl (S)-toluene-4-sulphonate. Further, it also involves the use of hazardous BBr3 which reacts violently and decomposes to toxic compounds when it comes in contact with moisture.
U.S. Pat. No. 7,772,191 discloses a process for the preparation of Empagliflozin of formula-1 comprising reaction of 2,3,4,6-tetrakis-O-(trimethylsilyl)-D-glucopyranone with (S)-4-bromo-1-chloro-2-(4-tetrahydrofuran-3-yloxy-benzyl)-benzene in presence of t-BuLi in pentane and methanesulfonic acid (MsOH) in methanol to produce 1-chloro-4-(1-methoxy-D-glucopyranos-1-yl)-2-(4-(S)-tetrahydrofuran-3-yloxy-benzyl)benzene which is reduced with triethylsilane in presence of BF3 etherate and treatment with aceticanhydride to produce the 1-chloro-4-(2,3,4,6-tetra-O-acteyl-D-glucopyranos-1-yl)-2-(4-(S)-tetrahydrofuran-3-yloxy-benzyl)-benzene (tetra acyl protected Empagliflozin) which is further hydrolyzed to produce the Empagliflozin of formula-1.
U.S. Pat. No. 7,772,191 also discloses another process for the preparation of Empagliflozin of formula-1 comprising reaction of 2,3,4,6-tetrakis-O-(trimethylsilyl)-D-glucopyranone with (S)-4-bromo-1-chloro-2-(4-tetrahydrofuran-3-yloxy-benzyl)-benzene in presence of BuMgCl in THF, BuLi in hexane and then reacting with MeSO3H in MeOH and then reduced with triethylsilane in presence of BF3 etherate to produce the Empagliflozin of formula-1.
The major disadvantage with the above prior art process is preparation and isolation of tetra acetyl protected Empagliflozin which requires additional step of hydrolysis of the same to produce the Empagliflozin. Another process in the prior art involves the use of BuMgCl which is extremely inflammable and will cause flash fire or ignite explosively. Hence, the handling of BuMgCl is very dangerous and will not be suitable for industrial scale preparations.
In view of the above facts, there still remains a need to develop an alternate, simple and improved process for the preparation of Empagliflozin of formula-1 with high chemical and enantiomerical purity and also applicable for multi-kilogram production. The process of the present invention is inexpensive, environmental-friendly having straight forward workups, rendering it amenable to the large-scale production of formula-1 with high yield.
The present inventors also worked to reduce the formation of unrequired R-isomer of Empagliflozin in the final coupling reaction to get pure Empagliflozin. For that they conducted several experiments by using different type of protected compounds of formula-2, solvents, but none of them provides the pure Empagliflozin with high yield. Unexpectedly, they controlled the R-isomer within the limits when the coupling reaction carried out with pure solid compound of (R)-tetrahydrofuran-3-yl 4-nitrobenzenesulfonate in a suitable organic solvents. Preferably the suitable organic solvent is n-butanol.
