The present invention relates to a manufacturing method for a piperidine-3-ylcarbamate compound and an optical resolution method therefor.
As a manufacturing method for a piperidine-3-ylcarbamate compound, there is known a method of bringing a corresponding pyridine-3-ylcarbamate compound and hydrogen into contact in the presence of a rhodium catalyst (See Patent document 1). However, since a rhodium catalyst used in such a method is expensive, development of a further more economical manufacturing method for a piperidine-3-ylcarbamate compound has been demanded.
Further, as a manufacturing method for an optically active 3-aminopiperidine, there is known, for example, a method by optical resolution of 3-aminopiperidine (See Patent document 2). However, such a method has not been industrially satisfactory in terms of the optical purity of the obtained 3-aminopiperidine.

Further, according to the present invention, a piperidine-3-ylcarbamate compound or a salt thereof having a high optical purity can be obtained. The obtained optically active piperidine-3-ylcarbamate compound is subjected to deprotection to give 3-aminopiperidine having a high optical purity, thus it is industrially advantageous.
Hereafter, the present invention will be described in detail.
First, the pyridine-3-ylcarbamate compound shown by the formula (1) (hereafter abbreviated as pyridine-3-ylcarbamate compound (1)) will be described.
In the formula, R represents a benzyl group or an alkyl group having a carbon number of 1 to 8. Examples of the alkyl group having a carbon number of 1 to 8 include methyl, ethyl, propyl, isopropyl, butyl, isobutyl, s-butyl, t-butyl, pentyl, isopentyl, neopentyl, hexyl, isohexyl, heptyl, isoheptyl, octyl and isooctyl. In view of performing the optical resolution described later, an alkyl group having a carbon number of 2 to 4 is preferable, and ethyl, propyl, isopropyl, isobutyl, or t-butyl is more preferable.
Examples of the pyridine-3-ylcarbamate compound (1) include methylpyridine-3-ylcarbamate, ethyl pyridine-3-ylcarbamate, propyl pyridine-3-ylcarbamate, isopropyl pyridine-3-ylcarbamate, butyl pyridine-3-ylcarbamate, isobutyl pyridine-3-ylcarbamate, s-butyl pyridine-3-ylcarbamate, t-butyl pyridine-3-ylcarbamate, pentyl pyridine-3-ylcarbamate, isopentyl pyridine-3-ylcarbamate, neopentyl pyridine-3-ylcarbamate, hexyl pyridine-3-ylcarbamate, isohexyl pyridine-3-ylcarbamate, heptyl pyridine-3-ylcarbamate, isoheptyl pyridine-3-ylcarbamate, octyl pyridine-3-ylcarbamate, isooctyl pyridine-3-ylcarbamate and benzyl pyridine-3-ylcarbamate.
The pyridine-3-ylcarbamate compound (1) can be manufactured typically by a method such as a conversion of the amino group at 3-position of 3-aminopyridine to carbamate by a conventional method or allowing nicotinic acid amide to undergo Hofmann rearrangement in the presence of an alcohol. It is preferable to lead the amino group at 3-position of 3-aminopyridine to carbamate.
The aforesaid carbamation (carbamate formation) is carried out, for example, by using an alkyl halocarbonate such as alkyl chlorocarbonate. Here, the ester moiety in the alkyl halocarbonate corresponds to R in the formula (1). For example, when R is a methyl group, methyl halocarbonate can be used as the alkyl halocarbonate. Further, when R is a t-butyl group, it is possible to carbamate with use of a t-butyl halocarbonate; however, it is general to performing a carbamation with use of a di-t-butyl dicarbonate. Of course, when R is another alkyl group, one may performing a carbamation with use of a corresponding dialkyl dicarbonate. In the following, the alkyl halocarbonate and the dialkyl dicarbonate may be generally referred to as a “carbamation agent”.
Such carbamation is typically carried out in the presence of a solvent. Examples of the solvent include water; an ether solvent such as tetrahydrofuran and t-butyl methyl ether; a nitrile solvent such as acetonitrile; an ester solvent such as ethyl acetate; an aromatic solvent such as toluene; and an alcohol solvent such as methanol, 1-butanol, 2-propanol and 2-methyl-2-propanol. These solvents may be used either alone or as a combination of two or more kinds The amount of use of the solvent is typically 1 to 50 L, preferably 2 to 20 L, relative to 1 kg of 3-aminopyridine.

These bases may be used either alone or as a combination of two or more kinds. The amount of use of the base is typically 1 to 5 times by mol, preferably 1 to 2 times by mol, relative to 3-aminopyridine.

The reaction time is typically 15 minutes to 12 hours, preferably 30 minutes to 5 hours, though it may depend on the reaction temperature, the amount of use of the reaction reagents, and the like. Progress of the reaction can be confirmed by ordinary means such as gas chromatography or high-speed liquid chromatography.
The order of mixing in the carbamation is not particularly limited. A preferable embodiment may be, for example, a mode in which a base and a carbamation agent are added simultaneously in parallel to 3-aminopiperidine or a mode in which a carbamation agent is added into a mixture of 3-aminopiperidine and a base.
The mixture after the reaction is finished contains a pyridine-3-ylcarbamate compound (1), and this may be subjected to contact with hydrogen. Typically, however, the mixture is subjected to contact with hydrogen after being subjected to an ordinary post-treatment such as filtration, extraction, or water-washing. Of course, the mixture after the aforesaid post-treatment may be subjected to contact with hydrogen after being subjected to an ordinary isolation process such as distillation or crystallization, or may be subjected to contact with hydrogen after being subjected to an ordinary purification process such as recrystallization; extraction purification; distillation; adsorption process with activated carbon, silica, alumina, or the like; a chromatography method such as silica gel column chromatography; or the like.
Next, the contact of pyridine-3-ylcarbamate compound (1) and hydrogen carried out in the presence of a palladium catalyst (which may hereafter be referred to as the present reduction reaction) will be described.

The palladium carbon is preferably one in which palladium is carried at 1 to 20% of the total weight on carbon. The palladium carbon may contain water or may be a dry product. The amount of use of the palladium catalyst is an amount within a range such that palladium atoms are contained typically at 0.01 to 10 wt %, preferably 0.1 to 5 wt %, relative to the pyridine-3-ylcarbamate compound (1). When a divalent or tetravalent palladium catalyst is used as the palladium catalyst, it is preferable to use a zerovalent palladium catalyst after reduction by an ordinary method.

The amount of use of the solvent is typically 0.1 to 30 L, preferably 1 to 10 L, relative to 1 kg of the pyridine-3-ylcarbamate compound (1). Further, it is possible to use a carboxylic acid compound or phosphoric acid as a solvent as will be described later. In this case, the aforesaid solvent may be used or may not be used.

Enough is one time by mol of the use of the carboxylic acid compound or the phosphoric acid relative to the pyridine-3-ylcarbamate compound (1). Though an excessive amount can be used so as to serve also as a solvent, the amount is preferably 1.1 to 10 times by mol in consideration of economic property.
When water is used as a solvent, in order to improve the reaction speed or yield, the reaction is preferably carried out under a condition such that the pH value of the water layer within a range from 1 to 7, more preferably within a range from 2 to 6. It is preferable to adjust to such a pH range with use of the aforesaid carboxylic acid compound or phosphoric acid.

The reaction time is typically 1 to 24 hours, though it depends on the reaction temperature, the amount of use of the reaction reagents, and the like. Progress of the reaction can be confirmed by ordinary means such as gas chromatography or high-speed liquid chromatography.
The order of mixing the reaction reagents is not particularly limited. Examples of the method include a method in which a mixture of a pyridine-3-ylcarbamate compound (1) and a solvent is added into a mixture of carboxylic acid compound or phosphoric acid, a palladium catalyst, and a solvent in a hydrogen atmosphere; and a method in which hydrogen is introduced to a mixture of carboxylic acid compound or phosphoric acid, a pyridine-3-ylcarbamate compound (1), a palladium catalyst, and a solvent. The method in which hydrogen is introduced to a mixture of carboxylic acid compound or phosphoric acid, a pyridine-3-ylcarbamate compound (1), a palladium catalyst, and a solvent is preferable.

These solvents may be used either alone or simultaneously as a combination of two or more kinds.
When optically active tartaric acid is used as the optically active organic acid, an alcohol solvent is preferable, and a single solvent or a mixed solvent of alcohols having a carbon number of 1 to 4 is more preferable in view of the optical purity and yield. When R in the above formula (2) is an ethyl group, a mixed solvent of methanol and an alcohol having a carbon number of 2 to 4 or methanol is preferable; a mixed solvent of methanol and 1-butanol or methanol is more preferable; and methanol is still more preferable.

The amount of use of the solvent can be suitably selected in accordance with the solubility of the diastereomer salt. The amount is typically 1 to 50 L, preferably 3 to 30 L, relative to 1 kg of the piperidine-3-ylcarbamate compound (2).
The optical resolution is carried out typically by mixing the piperidine-3-ylcarbamate compound (2) with an optically active organic acid in the presence of a solvent, and the order of mixing is not particularly limited. When a crystal of the diastereomer salt is absent in the obtained mixture, the diastereomer salt may be crystallized by cooling the mixture as it is. When a crystal of the diastereomer salt is present in the obtained mixture, the mixture may be cooled as it is; however, it is preferable to crystallize the diastereomer salt by cooling after the crystal of the diastereomer salt is dissolved by heating the mixture, in view of the chemical purity or optical purity of the later-mentioned optically active piperidine-3-ylcarbamate compound (3), optically active 3-aminopiperidine, or salt thereof. In such crystallization of the diastereomer salt, a seed crystal of the diastereomer salt may be used.
The temperature for mixing the piperidine-3-ylcarbamate compound (2) with an optically active organic acid is not particularly limited, and is typically within a range higher than or equal to 0° C. and lower than or equal to the boiling point of the solvent. When heating is carried out after mixing these, the heating is carried out typically up to a range higher than or equal to 30° C. and lower than or equal to the boiling point of the solvent. The cooling temperature is typically within a range from 0 to 25° C., and it is preferable to cool gradually in view of the chemical purity and the optical purity of the obtained diastereomer salt.
The mixture obtained in this manner may be subjected, for example, to a solid-liquid separation process such as filtration or decantation, whereby the diastereomer salt can be taken out as a solid. Also, the liquid obtained by the above solid-liquid separation process typically contains a piperidine-3-ylcarbamate compound (3) that is rich in the mirror image isomer reverse to that constituting the diastereomer salt, so that an optically active piperidine-3-ylcarbamate compound (3) or a salt thereof can be taken out from the liquid by a conventional method.
The diastereomer salt that has been taken out may be subjected to a washing process or may be further subjected to a drying process. Typically for such a washing process, the same solvent as described above can be used. The condition for the drying process is typically within a range from 20° C. to 80° C. under an ordinary-pressure or reduced-pressure condition.
Typically, when acid or base is allowed to act on the obtained diastereomer salt at 0° C. or higher and below 60° C., the optically active piperidine-3-ylcarbamate compound (3) or a salt thereof is preferentially obtained. When acid or base is allowed to act on the obtained diastereomer salt at 60° C. or above and 150° C. or below, the optically active 3-aminopiperidine or a salt thereof is preferentially obtained.
An RS mixture (racemate) of the piperidine-3-ylcarbamate compound (2) can be manufactured in accordance with an arbitrary known method. For example, it may be manufactured by performing nuclear reduction of ethyl pyridine-3-ylcarbamate or t-butyl pyridine-3-ylcarbamate obtained by ethyl-carbamation or t-butyl-carbamation of the amino group at 3-position of 3-aminopyridine, or by ethyl-carbamation or t-butyl-carbamation of the amino group at 3-position of the RS mixture of 3-aminopiperidine.
Hereafter, a method of performing optical resolution on the RS mixture of the piperidine-3-ylcarbamate compound (2) by using optically active mandelic acid will be described in more detail.
Typically, for the optically active mandelic acid, a commercially available one can be used.

When an S form of the optically active piperidine-3-ylcarbamate compound (3) is desired, it is preferable to use S-mandelic acid as the optically active mandelic acid.

The amount of use of the solvent may be suitably selected in accordance with the solubility of the obtained salt made of optically active piperidine-3-ylcarbamate compound (3) and optically active mandelic acid (which may hereafter be abbreviated as a diastereomer salt).

When a crystal of the diastereomer salt is absent in the obtained mixture, the diastereomer salt may be crystallized by cooling the mixture as it is. When a crystal of the diastereomer salt is present in the mixture obtained by the above contact, the mixture may be cooled as it is; however, it is preferable to crystallize the diastereomer salt by cooling after the crystal of the diastereomer salt is dissolved by heating the mixture, in view of the chemical purity or optical purity of the finally obtained optically active piperidine-3-ylcarbamate compound (3) or a salt thereof.

Such a diastereomer salt is a novel compound. Further, the liquid obtained by the above solid-liquid separation process typically contains a piperidine-3-ylcarbamate compound (3) that is rich in the mirror image isomer reverse to that constituting the diastereomer salt, so that an optically active piperidine-3-ylcarbamate compound (3) or a salt thereof can be taken out from the liquid by a conventional method.
An acid or base may be allowed to act on the diastereomer salt that has been taken out as it is; however, it is preferable to treat with an acid or base after the diastereomer salt is subjected to a washing process, in view of the chemical purity or optical purity of the finally obtained optically active piperidine-3-ylcarbamate compound (3). Typically for such a washing process, the same solvent as described above can be used. Preferably, a drying process is further carried out after the washing. The condition for the drying process is typically within a range from 20° C. to 80° C. under an ordinary-pressure or reduced-pressure condition.

The acid is preferably hydrochloric acid. For such an acid, a commercially available one may be used as it is or as a solution of the later-mentioned solvent.
The amount of use of the acid is not particularly limited as long as the amount is one mol or more relative to one mol of the optically active piperidine-3-ylcarbamate compound (3) constituting the diastereomer salt.

The action time is not particularly limited, and is typically within a range from 1 minute to 24 hours.
When a salt of the optically active piperidine-3-ylcarbamate compound (3) and the acid put to use is deposited in the obtained mixture, the salt can be taken out by subjecting the mixture, for example, to a solid-liquid separation process such as filtration or decantation as it is. Also, when the deposition of the salt is insufficient or when the salt is not deposited, the salt may be crystallized, for example, by concentrating the mixture, mixing the mixture with a solvent that hardly dissolves the salt, heating the mixture, or cooling the mixture, and the salt may be taken out by subjecting the obtained mixture, for example, to a solid-liquid separation process such as filtration or decantation. The obtained salt may be further purified, for example, by ordinary means such as recrystallization, or may be made free in the same manner as in the later-mentioned case of allowing a base to act. Also, the filtrate obtained by the above-described solid-liquid separation process typically contains optically active mandelic acid, and the optically active mandelic acid can be collected from the filtrate by ordinary means so as to be recycled for use in the present invention.
Examples of the base, which is allowed to act on the diastereomer salt, include an alkali metal hydroxide such as potassium hydroxide and sodium hydroxide; an alkali metal carbonate such as sodium carbonate and potassium carbonate; and an alkali metal alcoholate such as sodium methylate, sodium ethylate, potassium methylate, and potassium ethylate. An alkali metal hydroxide is preferable, and sodium hydroxide is more preferable. For these bases, a commercially available one can be used, or these bases can be used as a solution of the later-mentioned solvent.
The amount of use of the base is not particularly limited as long as the amount is one mol or more relative to one mol of the optically active mandelic acid constituting the diastereomer salt.

An alcohol solvent, water, or a mixed solvent of these is preferable, and 1-butanol, water, or a mixed solvent of these is preferable.

The diastereomer salt and the base may be mixed typically at 0° C. to 60° C., preferably at 10° C. to 30° C., and the order of mixing these is not particularly limited.
The action time is not particularly limited, and is typically within a range from 1 minute to 24 hours.
For example, an organic layer containing an optically active piperidine-3-ylcarbamate compound (3) can be obtained by adding a base to a mixture of water and a diastereomer salt, allowing the water layer of the mixture to become basic (typically to a pH value of 8.5 or higher), allowing the resultant to act at a predetermined temperature, thereafter adding an organic solvent having a low compatibility with water to the obtained mixture, and performing a liquid-separation process. When the organic layer is subjected to a concentration process after performing a water-washing process in accordance with the needs, the optically active piperidine-3-ylcarbamate compound (3) can be isolated. Also, when an alkali metal alcoholate is used as the base and an alcohol solvent is used as the solvent, an alkali metal salt of optically active mandelic acid is typically deposited. By separating this by filtration and performing a concentration process on the obtained solution, the optically active piperidine-3-ylcarbamate compound (3) can be isolated. The obtained optically active piperidine-3-ylcarbamate compound (3) can be further purified, for example, by ordinary means such as distillation, recrystallization, or column chromatography. The optically active piperidine-3-ylcarbamate compound (3) can be taken out as an acid-added salt. The water layer obtained by the above-described liquid-separation process contains optically active mandelic acid, and the optically active mandelic acid can be collected from the water layer by conventional means and can be recycled for use in the present invention. Further, the optically active mandelic acid can be collected from the alkali metal salt of the optically active mandelic acid separated by filtration in the above by conventional means and can be recycled for use in the present invention.
The optical purity of the optically active piperidine-3-ylcarbamate compound (3) obtained in this manner is typically 90% ee or higher though this depends on the optical purity of the optically active mandelic acid that has been put to use.

A mixture was obtained by mixing 100 mg (0.5 mmol) of the t-butyl piperidine-3-ylcarbamate obtained by the same method as in Example 27, 0.55 mmol of an optically active acid described in Table 3, and 2 ml of a solvent described in Table 3 at room temperature, so as to manufacture a diastereomer salt of t-butyl piperidine-3-ylcarbamate and the optically active acid. When the diastereomer salt was crystallized, the deposited crystals were collected by filtration, and the diastereomer salt obtained by drying was analyzed by an optical purity analysis method described below. The results are shown in Table 3.
