The present invention relates to an improved, efficient and enantio-selective process for the synthesis of (4R, 6S)-4-hydroxy-6-hydroxymethyl tetrahydropyran-2-one, employing the Sharpless asymmetric dihydroxylation and regiospecific nucleophilic hydride opening of the cyclic sulfite/sulfate as the key steps. The invention also resides in the intermediates used in the process.
摘要:
(Meth)acrylic acid is reacted with a fatty acid anhydride and the resultant reaction mixture is neutralized and washed with an aqueous alkaline solution having a pH of 7.5 to 13.5. Thus, high-purity (meth)acrylic anhydride can be industrially advantageously produced while avoiding polymerization. This (meth)acrylic anhydride is reacted with a secondary or tertiary alcohol in the presence of a basic compound which in 25° C. water has an acidity (pKa) of 11 or lower. Thus, a high-purity (meth)acrylic ester can be produced in high yield.

摘要:
Simvastatin is produced from lovastatin in high yield and in pharmaceutical purity by forming an amide of lovastatin and protecting the free hydroxyl groups of the lovastatin amide with hexamethyidisilazane (HMDS) to form a protected lovastatin amide. The &agr;-carbon of the 2-methylbutyrate secondary chain of the protected lovastatin amide may be methylated to form a protected simvastatin amide. The protecting groups may be removed therefrom by quenching the methylation reaction with water. The simvastatin amide which is obtained may be hydrolyzed to form simvastatin acid, followed by forming a simvastatin ammonium salt, lactonizing the salt to form simvastatin, and recrystallizing the thus formed crude Simvastatin to a high degree of purity. The HMDS protecting agent for the lactone hydroxyl groups of Lovastatin is selected so as to result in a reaction that does not produce acid so that a base, such as imidazole, is not required to neutralize the acidity of the reaction medium. Another advantage of using HMDS as a protecting agent is that the removal of the protecting agent after the methylation reaction is carried out simply, for example, by water quenching. The lactonization reaction of the present invention may be carried out using a low boiling point solvent, such as methylene chloride, in the presence of inorganic acids such as sulfuric, hydrochloric, methanesulfonic or phosphoric acid as catalyst.

摘要:
The present invention relates to an improved process for preparing simvastatin and more particularly, the improved process for preparing simvastatin expressed by formula 1 with high yield and high purity by performing the following sequential processes comprising: (i) hydrolysis of lovastatin as starting material with potassium t-butoxide in an organic solvent and small amount of water under a mild reaction condition, followed by lactonization of the obtained solid intermediate with preventing from formation of by-products; (ii) protection of an alcohol group with t-butyldimethylsilyl group which can be easily removed with concentrated hydrochloric acid without the formation of by-products; (iii) acylation of the obtained protected intermediate with acyloxytriphenyl phosphonium salt as an acylating agent under a mild reaction condition; and (iv) removal of the silyl protective group with a concentrated hydrochloric acid. The present invention is to provide the improved process of preparing simvastatin expressed by formula 1 environmentally sound, economically efficient, and industrially useful.
