     FIELD OF INVENTION 
     The present invention relates to an improved method for manufacturing dipeptidyl peptidase-IV inhibitor and an intermediate. 
     BACKGROUND OF INVENTION 
     DPP-IV is an enzyme functioned as a cleavage of N-terminal dipeptide of peptide having a terminal sequence of H-Xaa-Pro-Y (or H-Xaa-Ala-Y, where Xaa is any lipophilic amino acid, Pro is proline, and Ala is alanine) (Heins J et al.  Biophys Acta  1988; 161), and also called DP-IV, DP-4, or DAP-IV. After finding out that DPP-IV degrades glucagon-like protein-1 (hereinafter, called as to GLP-1) that is known to have a powerful effect on a control function of insulin to blood glucose contents after dinner (Mentlein R et al.  Eur J Biochem  1993:829-35), a possibility as very powerful therapeutic agent for Type II diabetes is presented, and then a study for developing DPP-IV inhibitor has become faster. 
     Merck Company developed triazolo piperazine compound with beta-amino acid structure, sitagliptin, during an investigation about DPP-IV inhibitor. The compound is the first DPP-IV inhibitor for treating Type II diabetes and has now become commercially available under a trademark, Januvia™, around the world after obtaining the new medicine approval from U.S. FDA in 2006. On this matter, Korean Patent Publication No. 2008-0094604 discloses that when triazolo piperazine part of sitagliptin is substituted with piperazinone containing hetero atom, it has an excellent DPP-IV inhibition activity, and also a significantly improved bioavailability as compared to that of the conventional DPP-IV inhibitor; and provides a heterocyclic compound containing new beta-amino group represented by the following Chemical Formula 1, or pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, a method for manufacturing the same, and a pharmaceutical composition, which contains the same as an effective component, for preventing and treating diabetes or obesity. 
     
       
                 
         
             
             
         
      
     
     As shown in the following Reaction Formula A, Korean Patent Publication No. 2008-0094604 discloses a method for manufacturing heterocyclic compound represented by Chemical Formula 1 with beta-amino group, the method comprising I) preparing a compound represented by Chemical Formula 4 bonded with peptide bond by reacting a compound with beta-amino group represented by Chemical Formula 2 and a substituted heterocyclic compound represented by Chemical Formula 3 using 1-hydroxybenzotriazol (HOBT), 1-ethyl-3-(3-dimethylaminopropyl)carbodiimide (EDC), and tertiary amine; and II) reacting the compound represented by Chemical Formula 4 under an acid condition: 
     
       
                 
         
             
             
         
      
     
     (In the above Reaction Formula A, PG is a protecting group.) 
     At this time, the compound with beta-amino group represented by Chemical Formula 2 in the above Reaction Formula A may be used for manufacturing various DPP-IV inhibitors as disclosed in International Laying-Open Gazettes WO03/000181, WO03/004498, WO03/082817, WO04/007468, WO04/032836, WO05/011581, WO06/097175, WO07/077,508, WO07/063,928, WO08/028,662, WO08/087,560, and the like, besides the production of DPP-IV inhibitor represented by the above Chemical Formula 1, and may be produced through various methods. 
     For example, the compound represented by the above Chemical Formula 2 may be produced by using the method as disclosed in  J. Med. Chem.  2005; 141 and Synthesis 1997; 873 as shown in the following Reaction Formula: 
     
       
                 
         
             
             
         
      
     
     Specifically, ester compound is obtained through an amine-protecting reaction after reacting (2S)-(+)-2,5-dihydro-3,6-dimethoxy-2-isopropylpirazine with 2,4,5-trifluorobenzyl bromide and acid-treating. The ester compound may be again hydrolyzed to obtain 3-(2,4,5-trifluorophenyl)-2-aminopropionic acid; then diazoketone may be formed by using isobutyl chloroformate, tertiary amine such as triethyl amine or diisopropylethyl amine, and diazomethane; and the compound represented by Chemical Formula 2 may be produced by reacting the diazoketone with silver benzoate. However, the reaction as mentioned above has problems that it should be performed at low temperature (−78° C.), or should use an expensive alpha-amino acid and highly risky diazomethane. 
     Other method for manufacturing the compound represented by the above Chemical Formula 2 is also known in  Tetrahedron: Asymmetry  2006; 205 or similarly  Bioorganic  &amp;  Medicinal Chemistry Letters  2007; 2622, as shown in the following Reaction Formula: 
     
       
                 
         
             
             
         
      
     
     That is, 2,4,5-trifluorophenyl acetic acid is activated using 1,1′-carbonylimidazole, and then reacted with mono-methyl potassium malonate to produce beta-keto ester compound. The beta-keto ester compound is reacted with ammonium acetate and ammonium aqueous solution to produce enamine ester, and the ester compound is then reacted with chloro(1,5-cyclooctadiene)rhodium (I) dimer and chiral ferroceny ligand I through a high-pressure hydrogen reaction to produce the compound that is a beta-amino ester having chiral primary amine only. And then, the compound may be hydrolyzed to produce the compound represented by Chemical Formula 2. However, the above-described method has problem that the high-pressure hydrogen reaction should be performed by using an expensive metal catalyst. 
     In addition, the method for manufacturing the compound represented by Chemical Formula 2 is also disclosed in International Patent Publication No. WO 04/87650. 
     
       
                 
         
             
             
         
      
     
     Specifically, 2,4,5-trifluorophenyl acetic acid is reacted with 2,2-dimethyl-1,3-dioxane-4,6-dione and oxalyl chloride that are an acid activation reagent and then the resulting product is refluxed in methanol to produce a compound corresponding thereto. The corresponding compound is reacted with (s)-BINAP-RuCl 2  that is a reduction reagent with enantioselectivity through a hydrogen reaction to produce a compound with (S)-coordination, and then the resulting compound is again hydrolyzed and then is coupling-reacted with O-benzylhydroxyamine to produce an intermediate. The intermediate produced as mentioned above may be subjected to a ring condensation reaction in the presence of triphenylphosphine and diisopropylazodicarboxylate and treated with lithium hydroxide aqueous solution to produce the compound represented by Chemical Formula 2 with (R)-coordination also in which an amine group is protected with O-benzyl. However, the above method has a problem that an overall process is long and tedious so that the yield of reaction is low and the reaction should be performed for a long period. 
     As mentioned above, the conventionally known method for manufacturing the compound represented by Chemical Formula 2 has several problems such as use of an expensive reagent, long synthesizing time, and low yield, and thus it is not sufficient for a commercial mass-production. 
     Furthermore, the compound represented by Chemical Formula 3 may be produced by using the following Reaction Formula as disclosed in Korean Patent Publication No. 2008-0094604: 
     
       
                 
         
             
             
         
      
     
     Specifically, D-serine methyl ester compound, which is a starting material, is substituted with trityl chloride; then hydroxyl group is again substituted with mesyl group, and then refluxed to convert to aziridine compound. 
     The trityl group is removed from the aziridine compound by using trifluoroacetic acid; then the aziridine compound is protected with benzyloxycarbonyl (Cbz), and then is reacted with t-buthanol; and Cbz is de-protected to obtain methyl 2-amino-3-substituted carbonate. The intermediate may be produced by using the compound produced by protecting the secondary amine of the compound produced through reacting N-butyloxycarbonyl-2-amino acetaldehyde with a reduction reagent (sodiumcyanoborohydride, sodiumtriacetoxyborohydride, sodiumborohydride, and the like) and the compound, of which secondary amine is protected with benzyloxycarbonyl (Cbz), and the compound of which butyloxycarbonyl (Boc) is de-protected. The compound produced as mentioned above is subjected to a cyclization with trimethyl aluminum (or diisopropylethylamine/ethanol, sodium hydrogen carbonate/methanol, and the like) to de-protect Cbz so that the compound represented by Chemical Formula 3 may be obtained. 
     However, the above method has a problem that it also uses an expensive reagent, the time for synthesizing is long, and the yield is low so that it is not suitable for a commercial mass-production. 
     Furthermore, since 1-hydroxybenzotriazol (HOBT) and 1-ethyl-3-(3-dimethylaminopropyl)carbodiimide (EDC) used for producing the conventional compound represented by Chemical Formula 1 are an expensive reagent, the cost for reaction is high so that it is not suitable for a commercial mass-production. 
     For this reason, the present inventors completed the present invention by confirming that the compound represented by Chemical Formula 1 can be economically produced with high yield by using the new method for manufacturing the compounds represented by Chemical Formula 2 and Chemical Formula 3 during the study for a manufacturing method suitable for a commercial mass-production, in which the method uses cheaper reagents; is an economical method; and improves a yield.

     (In the above Reaction Formula 1, X is a halogen and PG is a protecting group.) 
     Specifically, a compound of Chemical Formula 6, which has been subjected to ring-opening of epoxide ring, is prepared by reacting the compound represented by Chemical Formula 5 in Step a with a 2,4,5-trifluorophenyl magnesium bromide reagent in the presence of a copper (I) iodide catalyst.

Next, triphenylphosphine is used in the compound represented by Chemical Formula 7 in Step c to prepare an aziridine ring compound, and then an amine-protecting group is introduced to prepare a compound represented by Chemical Formula 8. Then, butoxycarbonyl (Boc), benzyloxycarbonyl (Cbz), 9-fluorenylmethoxycarbonyl (Fmoc), acetyl, benzoyl, or tosyl may be used as the amine-protecting group. Subsequently, a compound represented by Chemical Formula 9 is prepared by reacting the compound represented by Chemical Formula 8 with a cyanogen-based reagent such as sodium cyanide, potassium cyanide, etc. under 18-crown-6 and ammonium chloride in Step d. Finally, a compound represented by Chemical Formula 2 is prepared by hydrolyzing the compound represented by Chemical Formula 9 with a base, and sodium hydroxide, potassium hydroxide, lithium hydroxide, etc. may be used as a preferable base.

     (In the above Chemical Formulas 8 and 9, PG is a protecting group.) 
     Furthermore, the present invention, as shown in the following Reaction Formula 2, provides a new method for preparing an intermediate of dipeptidyl peptidase-IV inhibitor represented by Chemical Formula 3, the method comprising: 
     (Step a′) preparing a compound represented by Chemical Formula 11 by introducing t-butoxy group to hydroxyl group of a compound represented by Chemical Formula 10; and (Step b′) preparing a compound represented by Chemical Formula 3 by inducing a cyclization by reacting the compound represented by Chemical Formula 11 with ethylene diamine. 
     
       
                 
         
             
             
         
      
     
     Specifically, a compound represented by Chemical Formula 11, in which a hydroxyl group is substituted with a t-butyl group, is prepared by reacting a compound represented by Chemical Formula 10 with isobutyrene gas under an acid catalyst in Step a′. Then, the compound represented by Chemical Formula 10 is commercially available or may be prepared by methods known in the art, and may be obtained by using sodium nitrite and potassium bromide from L-serine to replace an amine group with a bromine group, for example, by a method described in Tetrahedron Letter Asymmetry 1994; 2517, and then reacting the resulting product with methanol under an acid catalyst such as thionyl chloride. Next, a compound represented by Chemical Formula 3 is prepared by inducing a cyclization by reacting the compound represented by Chemical Formula 11 with ethylene diamine in the presence of a base in Step b′, and then sodium hydrogen carbonate, sodium carbonate, potassium carbonate, potassium carbonate, pyridine, triethylamine, etc. may be used as a preferable base. 
     In addition, the present invention, as shown in the following Reaction Formula 3, provides an improved method for preparing dipeptidyl peptidase-IV inhibitor represented by Chemical Formula 1, the method comprising: (Step 1) preparing a compound represented by Chemical Formula 4 by bonding a compound represented by Chemical Formula 2 and a compound represented by Chemical Formula 3 with peptide bond by reacting them using triphenylphosphine, bis(2,2′-benzothiazolyl)disulfide, and a base in the presence of a reaction solvent; and 
     (Step 2) preparing a compound represented by Chemical Formula 1 by removing an amine-protecting group of the compound represented by Chemical Formula 4 produced in the above Step 1. 
     
       
                 
         
             
             
         
      
     
     (In the above Reaction Formula 3, PG is a protecting group.) 
     First, Step 1 is a step of preparing a compound represented by Chemical Formula 4 by bonding a compound represented by Chemical Formula 2 and a compound represented by Chemical Formula 3 with peptide bond by reacting them using triphenylphosphine, bis(2,2′-benzothiazolyl)disulfide, and a base in the presence of a reaction solvent. 
     In the present invention, toluene, tetrahydrofuran, methylene chloride, acetonitrile, N,N-dimethylformamide, etc. may be used as the reaction solvent. 
     In the present invention, more than one selected from a tertiary amine, such as N-methyl morpholine, isopropylethylamine, triethylamine, pyridine, etc. may be used as the base. 
     In the present invention, the compound represented by Chemical Formula 2 or 3 is commercially available or may be prepared by using a known method or the method described in Reaction Formula 1 or 2. 
     In the present invention, it is preferred that the reaction of the above Step 1 is performed at −20° C. to 80° C., and there is a problem that the yield is reduced due to difficulties in performing the reaction when the temperature is out of the range. 
     Next, Step 2 is a step of preparing a compound represented by Chemical Formula 1 by removing an amine-protecting group of the compound represented by Chemical Formula 4 produced in the above Step 1. 
     The removal of the protecting group in the Step 2 may be conducted under the acidic condition or through a hydrogen reaction. Specifically, when the amine-protecting group is butoxy carbonyl (Boc), the protecting group may be removed under the acidic condition, such as trifluoroacetic acid/dichloromethane, ethyl acetate/hydrogen chloride, diethyl ether/hydrogen chloride, hydrogen chloride/dichloromethane, or methanol/hydrogen chloride, and when the amine-protecting group is benzyloxycarbonyl (Cbz), the protecting group may be removed through a hydrogen reaction in the presence of palladium/carbon. 
     The dipeptidyl peptidase-IV inhibitor of the present invention, represented by Chemical Formula 1, may be used in the form of a pharmaceutically acceptable salt, and an acid addition salt formed by a pharmaceutically acceptable free acid is useful as a salt. Inorganic and organic acids may be used as the free acid, hydrochloric acid, bromic acid, sulfuric acid, phosphoric acid, etc. may be used as the inorganic acid, and citric acid, acetic acid, lactic acid, maleic acid, fumaric acid, gluconic acid, methanesulfonic acid, acetic acid, glycolic acid, succinic acid, tartaric acid, 4-toluenesulfonic acid, galacturonic acid, embonic acid, glutamic acid, or aspartic acid may be used as the organic acid. Preferably, hydrochloric acid may be used as the inorganic acid, and tartric acid may be used as the organic acid. 
     The acid addition salt according to the present invention may be prepared by a typical method, and may be prepared, for example, by dissolving a compound represented by Chemical Formula 1 in a water-miscible organic solvent, for example, acetone, methanol, ethanol, or acetonitrile and adding an excess of an organic acid thereto, or by adding an acid aqueous solution of an inorganic acid thereto and then precipitating or crystallizing it. Subsequently, a preparation may be performed by evaporating the solvent or an excess of the acid from this mixture and then drying it to obtain an addition salt or suction-filtrate a precipitated salt. 
     After compounds represented by Chemical Formula 1 to 3 prepared according to the present invention or intermediates thereof are prepared, their structures may be identified by infrared spectrometry, nuclear magnetic spectrum, mass spectrometry, liquid chromatography, X-ray structural crystallography, polarimetry, and comparison of calculated values and actually measured values in the element analysis of representative compounds. 
     Accordingly, a preparation method according to the present invention may reduce costs in preparing a compound of Chemical Formula 1 by using low-priced bis(2,2′-benzothiazolyl)disulfide, and may be useful for mass production due to an increase in its yield.
