(S)-Pregabalin, (S)-(+)-3-(aminomethyl)-5-methylhexanoic acid, a compound having the chemical structure,<\/p>\n
$\"Figure$ <\/a><\/div>\n
is also known as \u03b3-amino butyric acid or (S)-3-isobutyl GABA. (S)-Pregabalin, marketed under the name LYRICA^{\u00ae<\/sup>, has been found to activate GAD (L-glutamic acid decarboxylase). (S)-Pregabalin has a dose dependent protective effect on-seizure, and is a CNS-active compound. (S)-Pregabalin is useful in anticonvulsant therapy, due to its activation of GAD, promoting the production of GABA, one of the brain’s major inhibitory neurotransmitters, which is released at 30 percent of the brains synapses. (S)-Pregabalin has analgesic, anticonvulsant, and anxiolytic activity.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/li>\n}
\n
[0003]<\/div>\n
Several processes for the synthesis of (S)-Pregabalin are known. For example, see\u00a0DRUGS OF THE FUTURE, 24 (8), 862-870 (1999). One such process is illustrated in scheme 1.<\/p>\n
$\"Figure$ <\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/li>\n
\n
[0004]<\/div>\n
In Scheme 1, 3-isobutyl glutaric acid, compound 2, is converted into the corresponding anhydride, compound 3, by treatment with refluxing acetic anhydride. The reaction of the anhydride with NH_{4<\/sub>OH produces the glutaric acid mono-amide, compound 4, which is resolved with (R)-1-phenylethylamine, yielding the (R)-phenylethylamine salt of (R)-3-(carbamoylmethyl)-5-methylhexanoic acid, compound 5. Combining the salt with an acid liberates the R enantiomer, compound 6. Finally, a Hoffmann degradation with Br_{2<\/sub>\/NaOH provides (S)-Pregabalin. A disadvantage of this method is that it requires separating the two enantiomers, thereby resulting in the loss of half the product, such that the process cost is high.<\/div>\n<\/li>\n}}
\n
[0005]<\/div>\n
Several stereoselective processes for the synthesis of (S)-Pregabalin have been disclosed. For example,\u00a0 U.S. Patent No. 5,599,973\u00a0<\/a>discloses the preparation of (S)-Pregabalin using stoichiometric (+)-4-methyl-5-phenyl-2-oxazolidinone as a chiral auxiliary that may be recycled. In general, however, that route is of limited use for scale-up, principally due to the low temperature required for the reactions, the use of pyrophoric reagent, such as, butyl lithium, to side reactions, and due to a low overall yield.<\/div>\n<\/li>\n
\n
[0006]<\/div>\n
Another process is disclosed in U.S. Patent Application Publication No. 2003\/0212290\u00a0<\/a>, which discloses asymmetric hydrogenation of a cyano-substituted olefin, compound 7, to produce a cyano precursor of (S)-3-(aminomethyl)-5-methyl hexanoic acid, compound 8, as seen in scheme 2.<\/p>\n
$\"Figure$ <\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/li>\n
\n
[0007]<\/div>\n
Subsequent reduction of the nitrile in compound 8 by catalytic hydrogenation produces (S)-Pregabalin. The cyano hexenoate starting material, compound 7, is prepared from 2-methyl propanal and acrylonitrile (Yamamoto et al, Bull. Chem. Soc. Jap., 58, 3397 (1985)). However, the disclosed method requires carbon monoxide under high pressure, raising serious problems in adapting this scheme for production scale processes.<\/div>\n<\/li>\n
\n
[0008]<\/div>\n
A process published by\u00a0G.M. Sammis, et al., J. Am. Chem. Soc., 125(15), 4442-43 (2003), takes advantage of the asymmetric catalysis of cyanide conjugate addition reactions. The method discloses the application of aluminum salen catalysts to the conjugate addition of hydrogen cyanide to \u03b1,\u03b2-unsaturated imides as shown in scheme 3. Reportedly, TMSCN is a useful source of cyanide that can be used in the place of HCN. Although the reaction is highly selective, this process is not practicable for large scale production due to the use of highly poisonous reagents. Moreover, the last reductive step requires high pressure hydrogen, which only adds to the difficulties required for adapting this scheme for a production scale process.<\/p>\n

In 1989, Silverman reported a convenient synthesis of 3-alkyl-4-amino acids compounds in\u00a0SYNTHESIS, Vol. 12, 953-944 (1989). Using 2-alkenoic esters as a substrate, a series of GABA analogs were produced by Michael addition of nitromethane to \u03b1,\u03b2-unsaturated compounds, followed by hydrogenation at atmospheric pressure of the nitro compound to amine moiety as depicted in scheme 4.<\/p>\n

\n
[0010]<\/div>\n
Further resolution of compound 14 may be employed to resolve Pregabalin. This, of course, results in the loss of 50 percent of the product, a serious disadvantage. However, the disclosed methodology reveals that the nitro compound can serve as an intermediate for the synthesis of 3-alkyl-4-amino acids.<\/div>\n<\/li>\n
\n
[0011]<\/div>\n
Recent studies have indicated that cinchona alkaloids are broadly effective in chiral organic chemistry. A range of nitroalkenes were reportedly treated with dimethyl or diethyl malonate in THF in the presence of cinchona alkaloids to provide high enantiomeric selectivity of compound 15,<\/p>\n

and its analogues. For example, see\u00a0H. Li, et al., J. Am. Chem. Soc, 126(32), 9906-07 (2004). These catalysts are easily accessible from either quinine or quinidine, and are reportedly highly efficient for a synthetically C-C bond forming asymmetric conjugate addition as shown in scheme 5.<\/p>\n

R_{3<\/sub>\u00a0represents several alkyl and aryl groups. The scope of the reaction has been extended to other nitroolefins and applied to prepare ABT-546 employing bis(oxazoline)Mg(OTf)_{2<\/sub>. See, for example,\u00a0D.M. Barnes, et al., J. Am. Chem. Soc., 124(44), 13097-13105 (2002).<\/div>\n<\/li>\n}}

Other groups have investigated a new class of bifunctional catalysts bearing a thiourea moiety and an amino group on a chiral scaffold.\u00a0See<\/i>T. Okino, et al., J. Am. Chem. Soc., 127(1), 119-125 (2005). On the basis of a catalytic Michael addition to the nitroolefin with enantiomeric selectivity, they were able to prepare a series of analogues of compound 15.<\/div>\n<\/li>\n
\n
[0014]<\/div>\n
Thus, there is a need in the art for new processes for the preparation of (S)-Pregabalin that does not suffer from the disadvantages mentioned above. Chemical Abstracts, database accession no. 2005:236589 refers to a process for the synthesis of pregabalin using methyl cyanoacetate, by condensation, addition, cyclization, aminolysis, Hoffmann rearrangement and resolution with (S)-mandelic acid.
\nKarenewsky, D. S., et al., J. Org. Chem., 1991, 56, 3744-3747, discloses reaction of a glutaric acid anhydride with (S)-1-phenyethylamine to prepare the corresponding amide, which is subsequently used to prepare \u03b2-ketophosphonate derivatives.
\nVerma, R., et al., J. Chem. Soc. Perkin Trans. I, 1999, 257-264, discloses desymmetrization of prochiral anhydrides with Evans’ oxazolidinones to prepare homochiral glutaric and adipic acid derivatives.
\nShintani, R. et al., Angew. Chem. Int. Ed. 2002, 41 (6), 1057-1059, discloses the desymmetrization of various glutaric acid anhydrides using Grignard reagents in the presence of (-)-sparteine<\/div>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

Pregabalin (Lyrica\u00ae) is a lipophilic GABA analogue that is prescribed for the treatment of epilepsy. This short, small-scale synthesis of pregabalin features a highly enantioselective asymmetric conjugate addition of the alkenyl tri\u00adfluoroborate\u00a0B\u00a0to the \u03b1,\u03b2-unsaturated lactam\u00a0A\u00a0catalyzed by a rhodium complex incorporating the chiral bicyclo[3.3.0]octa-2,5-diene ligand\u00a0L.<\/div>\n
A further 17 examples of this new variant of the Hayashi\u2013Miyaura asymmetric conjugate addition reaction are reported using six \u03b1,\u03b2-un\u00adsaturated carbonyl substrates and ten alkenyl tri\u00adfluoroborates. The asymmetric conjugate addition was also applied to the synthesis of the potent neuroexcitatory agent \u03b1-kainic acid (seven steps, 40%\u00a0overall yield). $\"\"$ <\/p>\n

The collected fruits are peach (Prunus<\/em>\u00a0persica<\/em>), Himalayan wild cherry (Prunus<\/em>\u00a0avium<\/em>), Red Indian plum (Prunus<\/em>domestica<\/em>), Himalayan plum (Prunus<\/em>\u00a0americana<\/em>), apricot (Prunus<\/em>\u00a0armeniaca<\/em>) and shakarpara (white apricot, a hybrid cultivar of normal apricot found in Nepal and India). All the six newly found HNLs are\u00a0R<\/em>-selective, i.e., they yield\u00a0R<\/em>-mandelonitrile from benzaldehyde bySi<\/em>-facial attack of the cyanide anion. The enantioselectivity obtained for the formation of mandelonitriles by all the six HNLs are in the range of 60-93%. The best results are obtained with\u00a0PavHNL<\/em>\u00a0and\u00a0ParsHNL<\/em>\u00a0(both provide 93% ee), where as\u00a0PpHNL<\/em>\u00a0is the least enantioselective (provides 60% ee for\u00a0R<\/em>-mandelonitrile formation). The main object of the project proposal will be the development of efficient biocatalytic route for various value added products such as Pregablin, Baclofen and Pril drugs<\/p>\n
