Disclosed herein are processes for synthesizing 2-hydroxy-6-((2-(1-isopropyl-1H-pyrazol-5-yl)-pyridin-3-yl)methoxy)benzaldehyde (Compound (I)) and intermediates used in such processes. Compound (I) binds to hemoglobin and increases it oxygen affinity and hence can be useful for the treatment of diseases such as sickle cell disease.
Compound (I) is disclosed in Example 17 of the International Publication No. WO2013/102142. Compound (I) binds to hemoglobin and increases it oxygen affinity and hence can be useful for the treatment of diseases such as sickle cell disease.
In general, for a compound to be suitable as a therapeutic agent or part of a therapeutic agent, the compound synthesis must be amendable to large scale manufacturing and isolation. The large scale manufacturing and isolation should not impact the physical properties and purity of the compound nor should it negatively impact cost or efficacy of a formulated active ingredient. Accordingly, scale up of manufacturing and isolation may require significant efforts to meet these goals.
Compound (I) has been synthesized by certain methods starting with 2,6-dihydroxbenzaldehyde (compound 1) where each hydroxyl moiety is protected with an unbranched, straight-chain alkyl or alkoxyalkyl such as, for example, methyl or methoxymethyl. Following installation of the aldehyde group, various methods of deprotection of the hydroxyl group were employed to synthesize compound (1) used in the synthesis and production of Compound (I). However, the deprotection processes used lead to unwanted polymerization and decomposition reactions of compound (1)—attributed, in part, to the conditions used for deprotection of the hydroxy groups. The undesired byproducts yield complex mixtures, lower yields of Compound (I), and require significant effort to purify Compound (I) to a degree acceptable for use as a part of a therapeutic agent, thus rendering the above processes impractical for commercial scale synthesis of Compound (I).

XRPD Analysis:
XRPD patterns were collected with a PANalytical X'Pert3 X-ray Powder Diffractometer using an incident beam of Cu Kα radiation (Kα1 (Å): 1.540598, Kα2 (Å): 1.544426 Kα2/Kα1 intensity ratio: 0.50, tube setting at 45 kV, 40 mA). A continuous scan mode between 3 and 40 (020) with a scan speed of 50 s per step and a step size of 0.0263 (° 2Θ) in reflection mode was used. The diffractometer was configured using the symmetric Bragg-Brentano geometry. Data collection used Data Collector Version® 4.3.0.161 and Highscore Plus® version 3.0.0.
Step 1:
Tetrahydrofuran (700 mL) was added to resorcinol (170 g, 1.54 mol, 1 eq.) under inert gas protection, followed by addition of pyridinium tosylate (3.9 g, 15.4 mmol, 0.01 eq.), THF 65 mL) and the reaction mixture was cooled down to 0-5° C. Within 1-1.5 h ethylvinyl ether (444 mL, 4.63 mol, 3.0 eq.) was added while maintaining a temperature≤5° C. After the addition was complete the reaction mixture was allowed to reach room temperature within 1.5 h. The reaction was stirred overnight, cooled down to 10-15° C., and 510 mL of ½ sat. NaHCO3 was added while maintaining the reaction solution below 20° C. The phases were separated. The organic phase was washed once with 425 mL of water and once with 425 mL 12.5% NaCl solution and evaporated and azeotroped with THF to give bis-EOE-protected resorcinol (401.2 g, 1.55 mol, 102% uncorrected) as a clear colorless to yellowish oil.
Step 2:
Bis-EOE-protected resorcinol (390 g of, actual: 398.6 g=1.53 mol, 1 eq., corrected to 100% conversion) was added under inert gas protection to a 6 L glass vessel and THF (1170 mL) was added. The reaction mixture was cooled down to −10° C. to −5° C. and n-BuLi (625 mL, 2.7 M in heptane, 1.687 mol, 1.1 eq.) was added. The reaction mixture was agitated at −5° C.-0° C. for 30-40 min and then DMF (153.4 mL, 1.99 mmol, 1.3 eq.) was added starting at −10° C. to −5° C. The reaction mixture was stirred until complete and then quenched with 1N HCl/EtOAc. It was also discovered, inter alia, that protection with the EOE groups not only resulted in less byproducts but appeared to increase the speed of the formylation reaction to provide 2,6-bis(1-ethoxyethoxy)benzaldehyde (compound (2)).
The mixture was worked up, phase separated and the aqueous washed with MTBE. After aqueous wash to remove salts the organic phase was concentrated to the neat oil to obtain the compound (2) as yellow oil (almost quantitative).
A batch preparation was performed using solvent swap and was completed faster than other known methods for synthesizing Compound (I) with better purity and yield. The deprotection sequence allowed in-situ use of compound (2).
Step 3:
To the reaction solution of Step 2 was added 1N HCl (1755 mL) while maintaining the temperature<20° C. The pH was of the solution was adjusted to pH=0.7-0.8 with 6 M HCl. The reaction mixture was stirred for 16 h. After the reaction was complete the organic phase was separated and 1560 mL of methyl tert butyl ether was added. The organic phase was washed once with 1170 mL of 1N HCl, once with 780 mL of ½ sat. NaCl solution and once with 780 mL of water and then concentrated to a volume of ˜280 mL. To the solution was added 780 mL of methyl tert butyl ether and concentrate again to 280 mL [temperature<45° C., vacuo]. To the slurry was added 780 mL of acetonitrile and the solution was concentrated in vacuo at T<45° C. to a final volume of ˜280 mL. The slurry was heated to re-dissolve the solids. The solution was cooled slowly to RT and seeded at 60-65° C. to initiate crystallization of the product. The slurry was cooled down to −20° C. to −15° C. and agitated at this temperature for 1-2 h. The product was isolated by filtration and washed with DCM (pre-cooled to −20° C. to −15° C.) and dried under a stream of nitrogen to give 2,6-dihydroxybenzaldehyde as a yellow solid. Yield: 138.9 g (1.00 mol, 65.6%).
Step 1:
In a suitable reactor under nitrogen, tetrahydrofuran (207 L) was added to resorcinol (46 kg, 0.42 kmol, 1 eq.) followed by addition of pyridinium tosylate (1.05 kg, 4.2 mol, 0.01 eq.), and the reaction mixture was cooled down to 0-5° C. Within 1-1.5 h ethylvinyl ether (90.4 kg, 120.5 L, 125 kmol, 3.0 eq.) was added while maintaining a temperature≤5° C. After the addition was complete the reaction mixture was allowed to reach room temperature within 1.5 h. The reaction was stirred overnight, cooled down to 10-15° C., and 138 L of aqueous 4% NaHCO3 was added while maintaining the reaction solution below 20° C. The phases were separated. The organic phase was washed once with 115 L of water and once with 125.2 kg of a 12.5% NaCl solution. The organic layer was dried by azeotropic distillation with THF to a water content value<0.05% (by weight) to yield bis-EOE-protected resorcinol (106.2 kg, 0.42 kmol) as a solution in THF. An advantage over previously reported protection procedures is that the bis-EOE-protected resorcinol product does not need to be isolated as a neat product. The product-containing THF solution can be used directly in the next reaction step thus increasing throughput and reducing impurity formation.
Step 2:
Bis-EOE-protected resorcinol solution (assumption is 100% conversion) was added under inert gas protection to suitable reactor. The reaction mixture was cooled down to −10° C. to −5° C. and n-BuLi (117.8 kg, 25% in heptane, 1.1 eq.) was added. The reaction mixture was agitated at −5° C.-0° C. for 30-40 min and then DMF (39.7 kg, 0.54 kmol, 1.3 eq.) was added at −10° C. to −5° C. The reaction mixture was stirred until complete and then quenched with aqueous HCl (1M, 488.8 kg) to give 2,6-bis(1-ethoxyethoxy)benzaldehyde. An advantage over previously reported procedures of using EOE protecting group is that the HCl quenched solution can be used directly in the deprotection step, and 2,6-bis(1-ethoxyethoxy)benzaldehyde does not need to be isolated as a neat oil.
Step 3:
The pH of the quenched solution was adjusted to <1 with aqueous HCl (6M, ca 95.9 kg) and the reaction mixture stirred at ambient temperature for 16 h. After the reaction was complete the organic phase was separated and 279.7 kg of methyl tert butyl ether was added. The organic phase was washed once with aqueous 1N HCl (299 kg), once with aqueous 12.5% NaCl (205.8 kg) and once with 189 kg of water and then concentrated to a volume of ca. 69 L. To the slurry was added 164 kg of acetonitrile and the solution was concentrated in vacuo at T<45° C. to a final volume of ca. 69 L. The slurry was heated to re-dissolve the solids. The solution was seeded at 60-65° C. to initiate crystallization of the product and cooled slowly to RT over 8 hrs. The slurry was cooled down to −20° C. to −15° C. and agitated at this temperature for 1-2 h. The product was isolated by filtration and washed with DCM (50.3 kg, pre-cooled to −20° C. to −15° C.) and dried under a stream of nitrogen to yield 2,6-dihydroxybenzaldehyde as a yellow solid. Yield: 37.8 kg (0.27 kmol, 65.4% Yield). The described telescoped approach from deprotection to crystallization increases the throughput and integrity of the product.
Step 1:
An appropriately sized flask was purged with nitrogen and charged with (2-chloropyridin-3-yl)methanol (1.0 equiv), sodium bicarbonate (3.0 equiv), [1, 1′-bis(diphenyl-phosphino)-ferrocene]dichloropalladium (5 mol %), 1-isopropyl-5-(4,4,5,5-tetramethyl-1,3,2-dioxaborolan-2-yl)-1H-pyrazole (1.2 equiv), and a mixture of 2-MeTHF (17.4 vol) and deionized water (5.2 vol). The resulting solution was heated to 70° C. to 75° C. and conversion monitored by HPLC. Once the reaction was complete, the reaction mixture was cooled to room temperature, diluted with deionized water, and the phases were separated. The organic layer was extracted with 2 N HCl (10 vol) and the phases were separated. The aqueous phase was washed with MTBE. The pH of the aqueous phase was adjusted to 8-9 with 6 N NaOH. The product was extracted into EtOAc, treated with Darco G-60 for 30 to 60 min, dried over MgSO4, filtered through Celite®, and concentrated to give (2-(1-isopropyl-1H-pyrazol-5-yl)pyridin-3-yl)methanol as a brown oil.
Step 2:
A suitably equipped reactor was charged with (2-(1-isopropyl-1H-pyrazol-5-yl)pyridin-3-yl)methanol hydrochloride salt (1 equivalent) and purified water. An aqueous sodium bicarbonate solution (8% NaHCO3) was added slowly to maintain the solution temperature between 17° C. to 25° C. After addition was complete, the reaction mixture was stirred at 17° C. to 25° C. and dichloromethane was added and the organic layer was separated. DCM solution was then distilled under atmospheric conditions at approximately 40° C. and the volume was reduced. DCM was added the reactor and the contents of the reactor are stirred at 20° C. to 30° C. until a clear solution is formed. The contents of the reactor were cooled to 0° C. to 50° C. and thionyl chloride was charged to the reactor slowly to maintain a temperature of ≤5° C. The reaction solution was stirred at 17° C. to 25° C. When the reaction was complete, a solution of HCl (g) in 1,4-dioxane (ca. 4 N, 0.8 equiv.) was charged to the reactor slowly to maintain the solution temperature between 17° C. and 25° C. The product 3-(chloromethyl)-2-(1-isopropyl-1H-pyrazol-5-yl)pyridine dihydrochloride salt was filtered washed with dichloromethane and dried.
A suitably equipped reactor was charged with 3-(chloromethyl)-2-(1-isopropyl-1H-pyrazol-5-yl)pyridine dihydrochloride salt (1 equivalent), sodium iodide (0.05 equivalent), sodium bicarbonate (4 equivalent), 1-methyl-2-pyrrolidinone (NMP), and 2,6-dihydroxybenzaldehyde (1 to 1.05 equiv.). The reaction mixture was heated slowly to 40° C. to 50° C. and stirred until the reaction was complete. Water was then added and the reaction mixture was cooled and maintained at 17° C. to 25° C. When the water addition was complete, the reaction mixture was stirred at 17° C. to 25° C. and slowly cooled to 0° C. to 50° C. and the resulting solids were collected by filtration. The solids were washed with a 0° C. to 5° C. 2:1 water/NMP solution, followed by 0° C. to 5° C. water. The solids were filtered and dried to give 2-hydroxy-6-((2-(1-isopropyl-1H-pyrazol-5-yl)-pyridin-3-yl)methoxy)benzaldehyde as Form I or a mixture of 2-hydroxy-6-((2-(1-isopropyl-1H-pyrazol-5-yl)-pyridin-3-yl)methoxy)benzaldehyde as Form I Form I and NMP solvates.
Alternative Synthesis:
A suitably equipped reactor was charged with 3-(chloromethyl)-2-(1-isopropyl-1H-pyrazol-5-yl)pyridine bishydrochloride salt (1 equivalent), sodium iodide (0.05 equivalent), sodium bicarbonate (3 to 4 equivalent), 1-methyl-2-pyrrolidinone (7 equivalent, NMP), and 2,6-dihydoxybenzaldehyde (1.05 equivalent). The reaction mixture was heated to 40° C. to 50° C. and stirred until the reaction was complete. Water (5 equivalent) was then added while maintaining the contents of the reactor at 40° C. to 46° C. and the resulting clear solution seeded with 2-hydroxy-6-((2-(1-isopropyl-1H-pyrazol-5-yl)-pyridin-3-yl)methoxy)benzaldehyde Form I. Additional water (5 equivalent) was added while maintaining the contents of the reactor at 40° C. to 50° C., the reactor contents cooled to 15° C. to 25° C., and the reactor contents stirred for at least 1 hour at 15° C. to 25° C. The solids were collected, washed twice with 1:2 NMP:water and twice with water, and dried to yield 2-hydroxy-6-((2-(1-isopropyl-1H-pyrazol-5-yl)-pyridin-3-yl)methoxy)benzaldehyde Form I devoid of 2-hydroxy-6-((2-(1-isopropyl-1H-pyrazol-5-yl)-pyridin-3-yl)methoxy)benzaldehyde as NMP solvates.
Step 1:
A suitably equipped reactor with an inert atmosphere was charged with crude 2-hydroxy-6-((2-(1-isopropyl-1H-pyrazol-5-yl)-pyridin-3-yl)methoxy)benzaldehyde (from Example 3 above) and MTBE and the contents stirred at 17° C. to 25° C. until dissolution was achieved. The reaction solution was passed through a 0.45 micron filter and MTBE solvent volume reduced using vacuum distillation at approximately 50° C. The concentrated solution was heated to 55° C. to 60° C. to dissolve any crystallized product. When a clear solution was obtained, the solution was cooled to 50° C. to 55° C. and n-heptane was added. 2-Hydroxy-6-((2-(1-isopropyl-1H-pyrazol-5-yl)-pyridin-3-yl)methoxy)benzaldehyde (e.g., Form II) seeds in a slurry of n-heptane were charged and the solution was stirred at 50° C. to 55° C. The solution was cooled to 45° C. to 50° C. and n-heptane was added to the reactor slowly while maintaining a reaction solution temperature of 45° C. to 50° C. The reaction solution are stirred at 45° C. to 50° C. and then slowly cooled to 17° C. to 25° C. A sample was taken for FTIR analysis and the crystallization was considered complete when FTIR analysis confirmed 2-hydroxy-6-((2-(1-isopropyl-1H-pyrazol-5-yl)-pyridin-3-yl)methoxy)-benzaldehyde (Form II). The contents of the reactor were then cooled to 0° C. to 5° C. and the solids were isolated and washed with cold n-heptane and dried.
