Preparation of Ixazomib Citrate
The compound of Formula II (30 g) and dichloromethane (600 mL) were added into a flask at 25° C. to obtain a reaction mixture. The reaction mixture was cooled to 0° C. to 5° C. under stirring, and the compound of Formula III (51.91 g) it was added, followed by addition of EDC.HCl (52.59 g). Diisopropylethylamine (54 g) was dissolved in dichloromethane (150 mL) and added to the reaction mixture drop-wise in about 120 minutes at 0° C. to 5° C. with stirring. Deionized water (720 mL) was then added into reaction mixture and stirred for about 15 minutes. The reaction mixture was then separated into two layers. The organic layer was washed with potassium carbonate solution (400 mL, 2% v/v potassium carbonate in water) followed by washing with orthophosphoric acid (400 mL, 1% w/v orthophosphoric acid in water) and finally washed with sodium chloride solution (400 mL, 10% w/v sodium chloride in water). The solvents from the reaction mixture were distilled out under reduced pressure to obtain an oily concentrate.
Methanol (600 mL) was added into the oily concentrate (80 g), followed by the addition of hexane (600 mL) at 25° C. with stirring to obtain a reaction mixture. 1N HCl solution (245 mL) was added into the reaction mixture at 10° C. to 15° C., followed by the addition of (2-methylpropyl)boronic acid (36.99 g). The reaction mixture was heated to 25° C. and stirred for 24 hours. The reaction mixture was allowed to settle and separate into two layers. The aqueous layer containing product was washed with hexane (200 mL). Dichloromethane (300 mL) was added to the aqueous layer, followed by the addition of deionized water (900 mL) to obtain a reaction mixture. Sodium hydroxide solution (90 mL, 20% w/v sodium hydroxide in water) was added into the reaction mixture and stirred for 15 minutes. The reaction mixture was allowed to settle and separated into two layers. The aqueous layer was again washed with dichloromethane (200 mL). The aqueous layer was heated to 35° C. and citric acid monohydrate (160 g) was added into it and stirred for 3 hours at 25° C. The reaction mass was filtered and solid obtained was washed with deionized water (60 mL) to obtain the title product.
