The present invention relates to a process for producing aminoacetyl pyrrolidine carbonitrile derivatives that act as dipeptidyl peptidase IV (DPP-IV) inhibitors and are thus useful for the prevention and treatment of type II diabetes and other DPP-IV-related diseases. The present invention also relates to intermediates for the production of aminoacetyl pyrrolidine carbonitrile derivatives.
Dipeptidyl peptidase IV (DPP-IV) inhibitors have recently attracted much attention as a treatment for diabetes (especially type II diabetes) and numerous derivatives have been reported as DPP-IV inhibitors. Of these derivatives, aminoacetyl pyrrolidine carbonitrile derivatives have been shown to exhibit hypoglycemic activity. Several of these compounds are reported to be promising antidiabetic agents (Non-Patent Documents 1 and 2, Patent Documents 1 through 16). The present applicant previously disclosed aminoacetyl pyrrolidine carbonitrile derivatives represented by the following structural formula (4):
(wherein X is CH2, CHF or CF2; R3 is a substituted or unsubstituted C1-C6 alkyl group, a substituted or unsubstituted C3-C6 cycloalkyl group, a tetrahydropyranyl group, a substituted or unsubstituted arylmethyl group, a substituted or unsubstituted arylethyl group, a substituted or unsubstituted aromatic hydrocarbon, a substituted or unsubstituted aromatic heterocyclic ring or a substituted or unsubstituted aliphatic heterocyclic ring; and n is 1 or 2.) (Patent Document 9)
The derivatives of the formula (4) are produced by reacting a 1-(2-chloroacetyl)pyrrolidine-2-carbonitrile derivative or a 1-(2-bromoacetyl)pyrrolidine-2-carbonitrile derivative with a corresponding amine in the presence of a base (Patent Document 9). The 1-(2-chloroacetyl)pyrrolidine-2-carbonitrile derivative or the 1-(2-bromoacetyl)pyrrolidine-2-carbonitrile derivative used as the starting material is produced by reacting bromoacetyl chloride or chloroacetyl chloride with a pyrrolidine derivative (Patent Documents 1 through 9).
An alternative synthesis technique that uses neither bromoacetyl chloride nor chloroacetyl chloride is a method via a sulfonyloxyacetyl pyrrolidine derivative. Sulfonyloxyacetyl pyrrolidine derivatives are known as a general idea (Patent Documents 14 through 17). The use of 1-(2-methanesulfonyloxyacetyl)pyrrolidine-2-carbonitrile derivatives or 1-(2-toluenesulfonyloxyacetyl)pyrrolidine-2-carbonitrile derivatives is also described (Patent Documents 10 through 13). However, none of these articles specifically describes techniques for producing sulfonyloxyacetyl pyrrolidine derivatives, or the use or physical and chemical properties of these compounds, nor is it clear whether these disclosures are useful in the production of aminoacetyl pyrrolidine carbonitrile derivatives.

The following summarizes a process for producing an aminoacetyl pyrrolidine carbonitrile derivative of the formula (4) (where X and R3 are as defined above) via a 1-(2-benzenesulfonyloxyacetyl)pyrrolidine derivative (Scheme 1).
(Chemical Formula 15)
In Steps 1 and 2, a benzenesulfonyl group is introduced into a 1-(2-hydroxyacetyl)pyrrolidine carboxamide derivative of the formula (5) (where X is as defined above) to form a 1-(2-benzenesulfonyloxyacetyl)pyrrolidine carboxamide derivative of the formula (6) (where X is as defined above), which in turn is dehydrated to form a 1-(2-benzenesulfonyloxyacetyl)pyrrolidine carbonitrile derivative of the formula (7) (where X is as defined above).
The benzenesulfonylating agent used in the benzensulufonylation reaction of Step 1 is preferably benzenesulfonyl chloride or a benzenesulfonic anhydride.
When a base is used in the reaction of Step 1, it may be an alkali carbonate, such as sodium bicarbonate and potassium carbonate, or a tertiary amine, such as triethylamine, diisopropylethylamine, N-methylmorpholine, N,N,N′,N′-tetramethylethylenediamine, N,N,N′,N′-tetramethyl-1,3-propanediamine, diazabicyclo[5.4.0]-7-undecene, pyridine, 4-dimethylaminopyridine and 1,8-bis(dimethylamino)naphthalene. The base is preferably triethylamine, N,N,N′,N′-tetramethyl-1,3-propanediamine or a mixture thereof. Trimethylamine hydrochloride may be added to the reaction mixture.
The dehydrating agent used in the dehydration reaction of Step 2 may be phosphorus pentoxide, phosphorus pentachloride, phosphorus oxychloride, thionyl chloride, oxalyl chloride, p-toluenenesulfonyl chloride, methanesulfonyl chloride, chlorosulfonyl isocyanate, N,N′-dicyclohexylcarbodiimide or trifluoroacetic anhydride. The dehydrating agent is preferably oxalyl chloride or trifluoroacetic anhydride. These dehydrating agents may be added as they are or as a solution in a proper solvent. When a base is used in the dehydration reaction, it may be an alkali carbonate, such as sodium bicarbonate and potassium carbonate, or a tertiary amine, such as triethylamine, diisopropylethylamine, N-methylmorpholine, N,N,N′,N′-tetramethylethylenediamine, N,N,N′,N′-tetramethyl-1,3-propanediamine, diazabicyclo[5.4.0]-7-undecene, pyridine, 4-dimethylaminopyridine and 1,8-bis(dimethylamino)naphthalene.
The solvents used in each reaction are inactive solvents that are not involved in the reaction. Examples of such solvents include tetrahydrofuran, dioxane, ethylether, dimethoxyethane, acetonitrile, ethyl acetate, toluene, xylene, dichloromethane, chloroform, 1,2-dichloroethane, N,N-dimethylformamide, N,N-dimethylacetamide, N-methyl-2-pyrrolidone and dimethylsulfoxide. Of these, tetrahydrofuran, dichloromethane and acetonitrile are preferred. Each reaction is carried out at −78� C. to 150� C., preferably at −40� C. to 25� C., and more preferably at −20� C. to −5� C.
In carrying out Steps 1 and 2, the 1-(2-benzenesulfonyloxyacetyl)pyrrolidine carboxamide derivative of the formula (6) (where X is as defined above) produced in Step 1 may not be isolated prior to Step 2.
In Step 3, the 1-(2-benzenesulfonyloxyacetyl)pyrrolidine carbonitrile derivative of the formula (7) (where X is as defined above) is reacted with an amine derivative of the formula (3) (where R3 is as defined above) in the presence or absence of a base to form an aminoacetyl pyrrolidine carbonitrile derivative of the formula (4) (where X and R3 are as defined above).
When a base is used in this reaction, it may be an alkali carbonate, such as sodium bicarbonate, potassium carbonate and cesium carbonate, or a tertiary amine, such as triethylamine, diisopropylethylamine, N-methylmorpholine, diazabicyclo[5.4.0]-7-undecene, pyridine, 4-dimethylaminopyridine, 1,8-bis(dimethylamino)naphthalene, phosphazene base and pentaisopropylguanidine. The base is preferably potassium carbonate. When a catalyst is used in the reaction, it may be a phase-transfer catalyst or an inorganic base, such as tetrabutylammonium bromide, tetrabutylammonium iodide, benzyltriethylammonium bromide, lithium bromide, lithium iodide, sodium iodide, potassium bromide, potassium iodide, cesium bromide and cesium iodide. The catalyst is preferably potassium iodide. The solvents used in the reaction are inactive solvents that are not involved in the reaction. Examples of such solvents include acetone, ethanol, tetrahydrofuran, dioxane, ethylether, dimethoxyethane, acetonitrile, ethyl acetate, toluene, xylene, dichloromethane, chloroform, 1,2-dichloroethane, N,N-dimethylformamide, N,N-dimethylacetamide, N-methyl-2-pyrrolidone and dimethylsulfoxide. Of these, N,N-dimethylformamide is preferred. The condensation reaction is carried out at −30� C. to 150� C., and preferably at 0� C. to 80� C.
Other sulfonyloxyacetyl pyrrolidine carbonitrile derivatives can also be synthesized as in Steps 1 and 2 by using corresponding sulfonylating agents. Such sulfonyloxyacetyl pyrrolidine carbonitrile derivatives can be subjected to Step 3 to produce aminoacetyl pyrrolidine carbonitrile derivatives.
Alternatively, aminoacetyl pyrrolidine carbonitrile derivatives of the formula (4) (where X and R3 are as defined above) can be produced by the following process (Scheme 2).
(Chemical Formula 16)
A 1-(2-benzenesulfonyloxyacetyl)pyrrolidine carboxamide derivative of the formula (6) (where X is as defined above) is first produced according to Scheme 1 (Step 1). The product is then reacted with an amine derivative of the formula (3) (where R3 is as defined above) to form an aminoacetyl pyrrolidine carboxamide derivative of the formula (8) (where X and R3 are as defined above) (Step 4), which in turn is dehydrated to form an aminoacetyl pyrrolidine carbonitrile derivative of the formula (4) (where X and R3 are as defined above) (Step 5).
Step 4 in this process can be carried out in a similar manner to Step 3, and Step 5 can be carried out in a similar manner to Step 2. Other sulfonyloxyacetyl pyrrolidine carbonitrile derivatives can also be synthesized as in Step 1 by using corresponding sulfonylating agents. Such sulfonyloxyacetyl pyrrolidine carbonitrile derivatives can be subjected to Step 4 to produce aminoacetyl pyrrolidine carboxamide derivatives of the formula (8) (where X and R3 are as defined above).
The corrosive liquid reagents, such as bromoacetyl chloride and chloroacetyl chloride, are difficult to handle and not suitable for industrial use. Furthermore, these compounds are unstable and react vigorously with water to produce hydrogen chloride and other corrosive gases. In addition, these compounds are highly toxic: they cause burns when coming into contact with the skin and cause pulmonary edema if inhaled. Since the process of the present invention uses 1-(2-benzenesulfonyloxyacetyl)pyrrolidine derivatives as reaction intermediates and thus requires neither bromoacetyl chloride nor chloroacetyl chloride, it can produce aminoacetyl pyrrolidine carbonitrile derivatives, effective DPP-IV inhibitors, in a safer manner than ever before.
Although the 1-(2-benzenesulfonyloxyacetyl)pyrrolidine carbonitrile derivatives disclosed by the present invention exhibit high reactivity with different amines, they react with bicycloester amine derivatives to give particularly high yields and are therefore particularly useful in the production of DPP-IV inhibitors in the form of bicycloester derivatives represented by the formula (4).
The present invention will now be described with reference to examples, which are not intended to limit the scope of the invention in any way. Production processes of starting materials used in Examples are also presented as Reference Examples.
Synthesis of (2S,4S)-4-fluoro-1-(2-hydroxyacetyl)pyrrolidine-2-carboxamide
Process A: Methyl (2S,4S)-4-fluoropyrrolidine-2-carboxylate hydrochloride (18.4 g) was suspended in dehydrated acetonitrile (370 mL). While the suspension was cooled in an ice bath, diisopropylethylamine (18.3 mL) was added dropwise and the mixture was stirred for 15 minutes. Subsequently, 1-hydroxybenzotriazole (4.59 g), glycolic acid (8.37 g) and 3-ethyl-1-(3-dimethylaminopropyl)carbodiimide hydrochloride (23.0 g) were added and the reaction mixture was stirred at room temperature for 6 hours and left overnight. The reaction mixture was then concentrated under reduced pressure and the resulting residue was purified on a silica gel column (eluant=ethyl acetate:methanol=10:1). The eluted yellow oil was dissolved in dehydrated methanol (50 mL). While being cooled in an ice bath, the solution was added to methanol (250 mL) saturated with ammonia. The mixture was stirred at room temperature for 3 hours. The resulting crystal was collected by filtration, washed with methanol, and dried under reduced pressure to give (2S,4S)-4-fluoro-1-(2-hydroxyacetyl)pyrrolidine-2-carboxamide as a white crystal (15.6 g, 82% yield).
Process B: Methyl (2S,4S)-4-fluoropyrrolidine-2-carboxylate hydrochloride (1.84 g) was suspended in dehydrated acetonitrile (37 mL). While the suspension was cooled in an ice bath, diisopropylethylamine (1.83 mL) was added dropwise and the mixture was stirred for 15 minutes. Subsequently, 1-hydroxybenzotriazole (0.46 g), acetoxyacetic acid (1.30 g) and 3-ethyl-1-(3-dimethylaminopropyl)carbodiimide hydrochloride (2.30 g) were added and the mixture was stirred at room temperature for 4 hours and left overnight. The reaction mixture was then concentrated under reduced pressure and the resulting residue was dissolved in ethyl acetate (150 mL). The solution was washed successively with water (20 mL), a saturated aqueous sodium bicarbonate solution (20 mL) and saturated brine (20 mL). The washes were combined and sodium chloride was added to saturation. The resulting mixture was extracted with ethyl acetate (100 mL�2). The ethyl acetate extracts were combined, dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate, and concentrated under reduced pressure.

(1) Advantageous Effects in the Production of Aminoacetyl Pyrrolidine Derivatives
We now discuss the usefulness of 1-(2-benzenesulfonyloxyacetyl)pyrrolidine carbonitrile derivatives in the production (Step 3 in the above-described Scheme) of aminoacetylcyano pyrrolidine derivatives of the formula (4). According to the production process described in Patent Document 9, a 1-(2-chloroacetyl)pyrrolidine-2-carbonitrile derivative or a 1-(2-bromoacetyl)pyrrolidine-2-carbonitrile derivative is reacted with a corresponding amine. This process produces trialkylated by-products, resulting in a decreased yield of the desired product and a reduced purification efficiency. The ratios of trialkylated forms in the reaction products are shown in Table 1 for 1-(2-bromoacetyl)pyrrolidine-2-carbonitrile derivative (Comparative Example 1), 1-(2-chloroacetyl)pyrrolidine-2-carbonitrile derivative (Comparative Example 2) and 1-(2-benzenesulfonyloxyacetyl)pyrrolidine carbonitrile derivative (Reference Example 6). In each of Reference Example 6 and Comparative Examples 1 and 2, the ratio of the trialkylated form was determined as follows: each test compound (2.00 mmol) was added to a suspension of ethyl 4-aminobicyclo[2.2.2]octane-1-carboxylate (514 mg, 2.20 mmol) and potassium carbonate (608 mg, 4.40 mmol) in N,N-dimethylformamide (4 mL). The mixture was stirred in a heat bath at 30� C. and the reaction was monitored by HPLC. Once the disappearance of the test compound was confirmed, the reaction mixture was concentrated under reduced pressure and the ratio of the peak intensity of the trialkylated form to that of the dialkylated form in the reaction product was measured in HPLC. Since the UV absorption intensity of each trialkylated form is higher than the corresponding dialkylated form (weight ratio), the measurements were corrected by multiplying the peak intensity of each trialkylated form by a correction factor of 0.577.

The results in Table 1 demonstrate that the use of the compound of the present invention results in a significantly less amount of trialkylated by-product produced as compared to each of the compounds of Comparative Examples. The same results are observed when 1-(2-benzenesulfonyloxyacetyl)pyrrolidine carboxamide derivatives were used.
(2) Advantageous Effects in the Production of Sulfonyloxyacetyl Pyrrolidine Derivatives
Efficiency of the production process was significantly increased by using benzenesulfonyloxyacetyl pyrrolidine carboxamide derivatives.
We used different sulfonyloxy groups in the production of sulfonyloxyacetyl pyrrolidine carboxamides and observed differences. Table 2 shows the yields of a methanesulfonyloxy derivative and a toluenesulfonyloxy derivative described in Patent Documents 10 through 13, along with the yield of a benzenesulfonyloxy derivative disclosed by the present invention. Comparative Examples 3 and 4 were carried out using the same conditions as in Example 1, except that methane sulfonyl chloride and toluenesulfonyl chloride were used instead of benzenesulfonyl chloride.
4-CH3—C6H4 48
When methanesulfonyl chloride was used as the sulfonyloxy-introducing agent (Comparative Example 3), the desired compound was hardly isolated. The yield was low when toluenesulfonyl chloride was used as the sulfonyloxy-introducing agent (Comparative Example 4). The use of benzenesulfonyl chloride significantly improved the efficiency of sulfonylation (Example 1).
When a commercially available proline ester derivative is used to synthesize a sulfonyloxyacetyl pyrrolidine carbonitrile derivative, the number of steps involved can be minimized and the efficiency of the process can be improved by carrying out the process so that it proceeds via a sulfonyloxyacetyl pyrrolidine carboxamide and the conversion to nitrile group is carried out during the final step. When methanesulfonyl chloride (Comparative Example 3) or toluenesulfonyl chloride (Comparative Example 4) was used, the yield of the corresponding carbonitrile derivative decreased consequently. In comparison, the efficiency of sulfonylation was improved by the use of benzenesulfonyl chloride (Example 1), as was the yield of the corresponding 1-(2-benzenesulfonyloxyacetyl)pyrrolidine carbonitrile derivative. The yield was improved even more when the 1-(2-benzenesulfonyloxyacetyl)pyrrolidine carboxamide derivative was not isolated prior to the subsequent dehydration step (Examples 4 and 5). These results indicate that the process of the present invention is particularly efficient when benzenesulfonyloxyacetyl pyrrolidine carbonitrile derivatives are used.
The present invention relates to benzenesulfonyloxy pyrrolidine derivatives, novel intermediates for the production of aminoacetylcyano pyrrolidine derivatives of the formula (4), as well as to a production method thereof. The process of the present invention does not require chloroacetyl chloride and so on and thus ensures the safe and efficient production of aminoacetylcyano pyrrolidine derivatives of the formula (4). The present invention, therefore, is of significant industrial importance.
