The company is also conducting a phase I clinical study for the treatment of advanced or metastatic solid tumors.erse biological processes including cell growth, survival, differentiation, organ formation, morphogenesis, neovascularization, tissue repair, and regeneration, among others. Protein kinases also play specialized roles in a host of human diseases including cancer. Cytokines, low-molecular weight polypeptides or glycoproteins, regulate many pathways involved in the host
inflammatory response to sepsis. Cytokines influence cell differentiation,
proliferation and activation, and can modulate both pro-inflammatory and antiinflammatory responses to allow the host to react appropriately to pathogens.
Signaling of a wide range of cytokines involves the Janus kinase family (JAKs) of protein tyrosine kinases and Signal Transducers and Activators of Transcription
(STATs). There are four known mammalian JAKs: JAK1 (Janus kinase-1), JAK2, JAK3 (also known as Janus kinase, leukocyte; JAKL; and L-JAK), and TYK2
(protein-tyros ine kinase 2).
Cytokine-stimulated immune and inflammatory responses contribute to pathogenesis of diseases: pathologies such as severe combined immunodeficiency (SCID) arise from suppression of the immune system, while a hyperactive or inappropriate immune/inflammatory response contributes to the pathology of autoimmune diseases (e.g., asthma, systemic lupus erythematosus, thyroiditis, 20443-0253WO1 (INCY0124-WO1) PATENT myocarditis), and illnesses such as scleroderma and osteoarthritis (Ortmann, R. A., T. Cheng, et al. (2000) Arthritis Res 2(1): 16-32).
Deficiencies in expression of JAKs are associated with many disease states. For example, Jakl-/- mice are runted at birth, fail to nurse, and die perinatally (Rodig, S. J., M. A. Meraz, et al. (1998) Cell 93(3): 373-83). Jak2-/- mouse embryos are anemic and die around day 12.5 postcoitum due to the absence of definitive
erythropoiesis.
The JAK/STAT pathway, and in particular all four JAKs, are believed to play a role in the pathogenesis of asthmatic response, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, bronchitis, and other related inflammatory diseases of the lower respiratory tract. Multiple cytokines that signal through JAKs have been linked to inflammatory diseases/conditions of the upper respiratory tract, such as those affecting the nose and sinuses (e.g., rhinitis and sinusitis) whether classically allergic reactions or not. The JAK/STAT pathway has also been implicated in inflammatory diseases/conditions of the eye and chronic allergic responses.
Activation of JAK/STAT in cancers may occur by cytokine stimulation (e.g. IL-6 or GM-CSF) or by a reduction in the endogenous suppressors of JAK signaling such as SOCS (suppressor or cytokine signaling) or PIAS (protein inhibitor of activated STAT) (Boudny, V., and Kovarik, J., Neoplasm. 49:349-355, 2002).
Activation of STAT signaling, as well as other pathways downstream of JAKs (e.g., Akt), has been correlated with poor prognosis in many cancer types (Bowman, T., et al. Oncogene 19:2474-2488, 2000). Elevated levels of circulating cytokines that signal through JAK/STAT play a causal role in cachexia and/or chronic fatigue. As such, JAK inhibition may be beneficial to cancer patients for reasons that extend beyond potential anti-tumor activity.
JAK2 tyrosine kinase can be beneficial for patients with myeloproliferative disorders, e.g., polycythemia vera (PV), essential thrombocythemia (ET), myeloid metaplasia with myelofibrosis (MMM) (Levin, et al, Cancer Cell, vol. 7, 2005: 387- 397). Inhibition of the JAK2V617F kinase decreases proliferation of hematopoietic cells, suggesting JAK2 as a potential target for pharmacologic inhibition in patients with PV, ET, and MMM. 20443-0253WO1 (INCY0124-WO1) PATENT
Inhibition of the JAKs may benefit patients suffering from skin immune disorders such as psoriasis, and skin sensitization. The maintenance of psoriasis is believed to depend on a number of inflammatory cytokines in addition to various chemokines and growth factors (JCI, 1 13 : 1664-1675), many of which signal through JAKs (Adv Pharmacol. 2000;47: 113-74).
JAKl plays a central role in a number of cytokine and growth factor signaling pathways that, when dysregulated, can result in or contribute to disease states. For example, IL-6 levels are elevated in rheumatoid arthritis, a disease in which it has been suggested to have detrimental effects (Fonesca, J.E. et al, Autoimmunity
Reviews, 8:538-42, 2009). Because IL-6 signals, at least in part, through JAKl, antagonizing IL-6 directly or indirectly through JAKl inhibition is expected to provide clinical benefit (Guschin, D., N., et al Embo J 14: 1421, 1995; Smolen, J. S., et al. Lancet 371 :987, 2008). Moreover, in some cancers JAKl is mutated resulting in constitutive undesirable tumor cell growth and survival (Mullighan CG, Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A.106:9414-8, 2009; Flex E., et al.J Exp Med. 205:751-8, 2008). In other autoimmune diseases and cancers elevated systemic levels of inflammatory cytokines that activate JAKl may also contribute to the disease and/or associated symptoms. Therefore, patients with such diseases may benefit from JAKl inhibition. Selective inhibitors of JAKl may be efficacious while avoiding unnecessary and potentially undesirable effects of inhibiting other JAK kinases.
Selective inhibitors of JAKl, relative to other JAK kinases, may have multiple therapeutic advantages over less selective inhibitors. With respect to selectivity against JAK2, a number of important cytokines and growth factors signal through JAK2 including, for example, erythropoietin (Epo) and thrombopoietin (Tpo)
(Parganas E, et al. Cell. 93:385-95, 1998). Epo is a key growth factor for red blood cells production; hence a paucity of Epo-dependent signaling can result in reduced numbers of red blood cells and anemia (Kaushansky K, NEJM 354:2034-45, 2006). Tpo, another example of a JAK2-dependent growth factor, plays a central role in controlling the proliferation and maturation of megakaryocytes – the cells from which platelets are produced (Kaushansky K, NEJM 354:2034-45, 2006). As such, reduced Tpo signaling would decrease megakaryocyte numbers (megakaryocytopenia) and lower circulating platelet counts (thrombocytopenia). This can result in undesirable 20443-0253WO1 (INCY0124-WO1) PATENT and/or uncontrollable bleeding. Reduced inhibition of other JAKs, such as JAK3 and Tyk2, may also be desirable as humans lacking functional version of these kinases have been shown to suffer from numerous maladies such as severe-combined immunodeficiency or hyperimmunoglobulin E syndrome (Minegishi, Y, et al.
Immunity 25:745-55, 2006; Macchi P, et al. Nature. 377:65-8, 1995). Therefore a JAK1 inhibitor with reduced affinity for other JAKs would have significant
advantages over a less-selective inhibitor with respect to reduced side effects involving immune suppression, anemia and thrombocytopenia.

Step A: tert-Butyl 3-Oxoazetidine-1-carboxylate
To a mixture of tert-butyl 3-hydroxyazetidine-1-carboxylate (10.0 g, 57.7 mmol), dimethyl sulfoxide (24.0 mL, 338 mmol), triethylamine (40 mL, 300 mmol) and methylene chloride (2.0 mL) was added sulfur trioxide-pyridine complex (40 g, 200 mmol) portionwise at 0° C. The mixture was stirred for 3 hours, quenched with brine, and extracted with methylene chloride. The combined extracts were dried over anhydrous Na2SO4, filtered, and concentrated under reduced pressure. The residue was purified by silica gel column (0-6% ethyl acetate (EtOAc) in hexanes) to give tert-butyl 3-oxoazetidine-1-carboxylate (5.1 g, 52% yield).
Step B: tert-Butyl 3-(Cyanomethylene)azetidine-1-carboxylate
An oven-dried 1 L 4-neck round bottom flask fitted with stir bar, septa, nitrogen inlet, 250 ml addition funnel and thermocouple was charged with sodium hydride (5.6 g, 0.14 mol) and tetrahydrofuran (THF) (140 mL) under a nitrogen atmosphere. The mixture was chilled to 3° C., and then charged with diethyl cyanomethylphosphonate (22.4 mL, 0.138 mol) dropwise via a syringe over 20 minutes. The solution became a light yellow slurry. The reaction was then stirred for 75 minutes while warming to 18.2° C. A solution of tert-butyl 3-oxoazetidine-1-carboxylate (20 g, 0.1 mol) in tetrahydrofuran (280 mL) was prepared in an oven-dried round bottom, charged to the addition funnel via canula, then added to the reaction mixture dropwise over 25 minutes. The reaction solution became red in color. The reaction was allowed to stir overnight. The reaction was checked after 24 hours by TLC (70% hexane/EtOAc) and found to be complete. The reaction was diluted with 200 mL of 20% brine and 250 mL of EtOAc. The solution was partitioned and the aqueous phase was extracted with 250 mL of EtOAc. The combined organic phase was dried over MgSO4 and filtered, evaporated under reduced pressure, and purified by flash chromatography (0% to 20% EtOAc/hexanes, 150 g flash column) to give the desired product, tert-butyl 3-(cyanomethylene)azetidine-1-carboxylate (15 g, 66.1% yield).

To a suspension of sodium hydride (36.141 g, 903.62 mmol) in N,N-dimethylacetamide (118 mL) at −5° C. (ice/salt bath) was added a dark solution of 4-chloropyrrolo[2,3-d]pyrimidine (119.37 g, 777.30 mmol) in N,N-dimethylacetamide (237 mL) slowly. The flask and addition funnel were rinsed with N,N-dimethylacetamide (30 mL). A large amount of gas was evolved immediately. The mixture became a slightly cloudy orange mixture. The mixture was stirred at 0° C. for 60 min to give a light brown turbid mixture. To the mixture was slowly added [2-(trimethylsilyl)ethoxy]methyl chloride (152.40 g, 914.11 mmol) and the reaction was stirred at 0° C. for 1 h. The reaction was quenched by addition of 12 mL of H2O slowly. More water (120 mL) was added followed by methyl tert-butyl ether (MTBE) (120 mL). The mixture was stirred for 10 min. The organic layer was separated. The aqueous layer was extracted with another portion of MTBE (120 mL). The organic extracts were combined, washed with brine (120 mL×2) and concentrated under reduced pressure to give the crude product 4-chloro-7-{[2-(trimethylsilyl)ethoxy]methyl}-7H-pyrrolo[2,3-d]pyrimidine as a dark oil.

This solution was degased 4 times, filling with nitrogen each time. To the solution was added tetrakis(triphenylphosphine)palladium(0) (4.071 g, 3.523 mmol). The solution was degased 4 times, filling with nitrogen each time. The mixture was stirred overnight at 100° C. After being cooled to room temperature, the mixture was filtered through a bed of celite and the celite was rinsed with ethyl acetate (42 mL). The filtrate was combined, and the organic layer was separated. The aqueous layer was extracted with ethyl acetate. The organic extracts were combined and concentrated under vacuum with a bath temperature of 30-70° C. to give the final compound 4-(1H-pyrazol-4-yl)-7-{[2-(trimethylsilyl)ethoxy]methyl}-7H-pyrrolo[2,3-d]pyrimidine.

The resulting solution was heterogeneous. To the solution was added 1,8-diazabicyclo[5.4.0]undec-7-ene (8.48 mL, 0.0567 mol) portionwise via syringe over 3 min at room temperature. The solution slowly became homogeneous and yellow in color. The reaction was allowed to stir at room temperature for 3 h. The reaction was complete by HPLC and LC/MS and was concentrated by rotary evaporation to remove acetonitrile (˜150 mL). EtOAc (100 mL) was added followed by 100 ml of 20% brine. The two phases were partitioned. The aqueous phase was extracted with 150 mL of EtOAC. The combine organic phases were dried over MgSO4, filtered and concentrated to yield an orange oil. Purification by flash chromatography (150 grams silica, 60% EtOAc/hexanes, loaded with CH2Cl2) yielded the title compound tert-butyl 3-(cyanomethyl)-3-[4-(7-{[2-(trimethylsilyl)ethoxy]methyl}-7H-pyrrolo[2,3-d]pyrimidin-4-yl)-1H-pyrazol-1-yl]azetidine-1-carboxylate as a yellow oil (21.1 g, 88% yield).

Example 1Synthesis of 4-(1H-pyrazol-4-yl)-7-((2-(trimethylsilyl)ethoxy)methyl)-7H-pyrrolo[2,3-d]pyrimidine (5)
Step 1. 4-Chloro-7-((2-(trimethylsilyl)ethoxy)methyl)-7H-pyrrolo[2,3-d]pyrimidine (3)
To a flask equipped with a nitrogen inlet, an addition funnel, a thermowell, and the mechanical stirrer was added 4-chloro-7H-pyrrolo[2,3-d]pyrimidine (1, 600 g, 3.91 mol) and N,N-dimethylacetimide (DMAC, 9.6 L) at room temperature. The mixture was cooled to 0-5° C. in an ice/brine bath before solid sodium hydride (NaH, 60 wt %, 174 g, 4.35 mol, 1.1 equiv) was added in portions at 0-5° C. The reaction mixture turned into a dark solution after 15 minutes. Trimethylsilylethoxymethyl chloride (2, SEM-Cl, 763 mL, 4.31 mol, 1.1 equiv) was then added slowly via an addition funnel at a rate that the internal reaction temperature did not exceed 5° C. The reaction mixture was then stirred at 0-5° C. for 30 minutes. When the reaction was deemed complete determined by TLC and HPLC, the reaction mixture was quenched by water (1 L). The mixture was then diluted with water (12 L) and methyl tert-butyl ether (MTBE) (8 L). The two layers were separated and the aqueous layer was extracted with MTBE (8 L). The combined organic layers were washed with water (2×4 L) and brine (4 L) and solvent switched to 1-butanol. The solution of crude product (3) in 1-butanol was used in the subsequent Suzuki coupling reaction without further purification. Alternatively, the organic solution of the crude product (3) in MTBE was dried over sodium sulfate (Na2SO4). The solvents were removed under reduced pressure. The residue was then dissolved in heptane (2 L), filtered and loaded onto a silica gel (SiO2, 3.5 Kg) column eluting with heptane (6 L), 95% heptane/ethyl acetate (12 L), 90% heptane/ethyl acetate (10 L), and finally 80% heptane/ethyl acetate (10 L). The fractions containing the pure desired product were combined and concentrated under reduced pressure to give 4-chloro-7-((2-(trimethylsilyl)ethoxy)methyl)-7H-pyrrolo[2,3-d]pyrimidine (3, 987 g, 1109.8 g theoretical, 88.9% yield) as a pale yellow oil which partially solidified to an oily solid on standing at room temperature.

To a reactor equipped with the overhead stirrer, a condenser, a thermowell, and a nitrogen inlet was charged water (H2O, 9.0 L), solid potassium carbonate (K2CO3, 4461 g, 32.28 mol, 2.42 equiv), 4-chloro-7-((2-(trimethylsilyl)ethoxy)methyl)-7H-pyrrolo[2,3-d]pyrimidine (3, 3597 g, 12.67 mol), 1-(1-ethoxyethyl)-4-(4,4,5,5-tetramethyl-1,3,2-dioxaborolan-2-yl)-1H-pyrazole (4, 3550 g, 13.34 mol, 1.05 equiv), and 1-butanol (27 L) at room temperature. The resulting reaction mixture was degassed three timed backfilling with nitrogen each time before being treated with tetrakis(triphenylphosphine)palladium(0) (Pd(PPh3)4, 46 g, 0.040 mol, 0.003 equiv) at room temperature. The resulting reaction mixture was heated to gentle reflux (about 90° C.) for 1-4 hours. When the reaction was deemed complete determined by HPLC, the reaction mixture was gradually cooled down to room temperature before being filtered through a Celite bed. The Celite bed was washed with ethyl acetate (2×2 L) before the filtrates and washing solution were combined. The two layers were separated, and the aqueous layer was extracted with ethyl acetate (12 L). The combined organic layers were concentrated under reduced pressure to remove solvents, and the crude 4-(1-(1-ethoxyethyl)-1H-pyrazol-4-yl)-7-((2-(trimethylsilyl)ethoxy)methyl)-7H-pyrrolo[2,3-d]pyrimidine (6) was directly charged back to the reactor with tetrahydrofuran (THF, 4.2 L) for the subsequent acid-promoted de-protection reaction without further purification.
To a suspension of crude 4-(1-(1-ethoxyethyl)-1H-pyrazol-4-yl)-7-((2-(trimethylsilyl)ethoxy)methyl)-7H-pyrrolo[2,3-d]pyrimidine (6), made as described above, in tetrahydrofuran (THF, 4.2 L) in the reactor was charged water (H2O, 20.8 L), and a 10% aqueous HCl solution (16.2 L, 45.89 mol, 3.44 equiv) at room temperature. The resulting reaction mixture was stirred at 16-30° C. for 2-5 hours. When the reaction was deemed complete by HPLC analysis, the reaction mixture was treated with a 30% aqueous sodium hydroxide (NaOH) solution (4 L, 50.42 mol, 3.78 equiv) at room temperature. The resulting reaction mixture was stirred at room temperature for 1-2 hours. The solids were collected by filtration and washed with water (2×5 L). The wet cake was charged back to the reactor with acetonitrile (21.6 L), and resulting suspension was heated to gentle reflux for 1-2 hours. The clear solution was then gradually cooled down to room temperature with stirring, and solids were precipitated out from the solution with cooling. The mixture was stirred at room temperature for an additional 1-2 hours. The solids were collected by filtration, washed with acetonitrile (2×3.5 L), and dried in oven under reduced pressure at 45-55° C. to constant weight to afford 4-(1H-pyrazol-4-yl)-7-(2-(trimethylsilyl)ethoxy)methyl)-7H-pyrrolo[2,3-d]pyrimidine (5, 3281.7 g, 3996.8 g theoretical, 82.1% yield) as white crystalline solids (99.5 area % by HPLC).

Example 2tert-Butyl 3-(cyanomethylene)azetidine-1-carboxylate (13)
Step 1. 1-Benzhydrylazetidin-3-ol hydrochloride (9)
A solution of diphenylmethanamine (7, 2737 g, 15.0 mol, 1.04 equiv) in methanol (MeOH, 6 L) was treated with 2-(chloromethyl)oxirane (8, 1330 g, 14.5 mol) from an addition funnel at room temperature. During the initial addition a slight endotherm was noticed. The resulting reaction mixture was stirred at room temperature for 3 days before being warmed to reflux for an additional 3 days. When TLC showed that the reaction was deemed complete, the reaction mixture was first cooled down to room temperature and then to 0-5° C. in an ice bath. The solids were collected by filtration and washed with acetone (4 L) to give the first crop of the crude desired product (9, 1516 g). The filtrate was concentrated under reduced pressure and the resulting semisolid was diluted with acetone (1 L). This solid was then collected by filtration to give the second crop of the crude desired product (9, 221 g). The crude product, 1-benzhydrylazetidin-3-ol hydrochloride (9, 1737 g, 3998.7 g theoretical, 43.4% yield), was found to be sufficiently pure to be used in the subsequent reaction without further purification. For 9: 1H NMR (DMSO-d6, 300 MHz), δ 12.28 (br. d, 1H), 7.7 (m, 5H), 7.49 (m, 5H), 6.38 (d, 1H), 4.72 (br. s, 1H), 4.46 (m, 1H), 4.12 (m, 2H), 3.85 (m, 2H) ppm; C16H18ClNO (free base of 9, C16K7NO MW, 239.31), LCMS (EI) m/e 240 (M++H).
Step 2. tert-Butyl 3-hydroxyazetidine-1-carboxylate (10)
A suspension of 1-benzhydrylazetidin-3-ol hydrochloride (9, 625 g, 2.27 mol) in a 10% solution of aqueous sodium carbonate (Na2CO3, 5 L) and dichloromethane (CH2Cl2, 5 L) was stirred at room temperature until all solids were dissolved. The two layers were separated, and the aqueous layer was extracted with dichloromethane (CH2Cl2, 2 L). The combined organics extracts were dried over sodium sulfate (Na2SO4) and concentrated under reduced pressure. This resulting crude free base of 9 was then dissolved in THF (6 L) and the solution was placed into a large Parr bomb. Di-tert-butyl dicarbonate (BOC2O, 545 g, 2.5 mol, 1.1 equiv) and 20% palladium (Pd) on carbon (125 g, 50% wet) were added to the Parr bomb. The vessel was charged to 30 psi with hydrogen gas (H2) and stirred under steady hydrogen atmosphere (vessel was recharged three times to maintain the pressure at 30 psi) at room temperature for 18 h. When HPLC showed that the reaction was complete (when no more hydrogen was taken up), the reaction mixture was filtered through a Celite pad and the Celite pad was washed with THF (4 L). The filtrates were concentrated under reduced pressure to remove the solvent and the residue was loaded onto a Biotage 150 column with a minimum amount of dichloromethane (CH2Cl2). The column was eluted with 20-50% ethyl acetate in heptane and the fractions containing the pure desired product (10) were collected and combined. The solvents were removed under reduced pressure to afford tert-butyl 3-hydroxyazetidine-1-carboxylate (10, 357 g, 393.2 g theoretical, 90.8% yield) as colorless oil, which solidified upon standing at room temperature in vacuum. For 10: 1HNMR (CDCl3, 300 MHz), δ 4.56 (m 1H), 4.13 (m, 2H), 3.81 (m, 2H), 1.43 (s, 9H) ppm.
Step 3. tert-Butyl 3-oxoazetidine-1-carboxylate (11)
A solution of tert-butyl 3-hydroxyazetidine-1-carboxylate (10, 50 g, 289 mmol) in ethyl acetate (400 mL) was cooled to 0° C. The resulting solution was then treated with solid TEMPO (0.5 g, 3.2 mmol, 0.011 equiv) and a solution of potassium bromide (KBr, 3.9 g, 33.2 mmol, 0.115 equiv) in water (60 mL) at 0-5° C. While keeping the reaction temperature between 0-5° C. a solution of saturated aqueous sodium bicarbonate (NaHCO3, 450 mL) and an aqueous sodium hypochlorite solution (NaClO, 10-13% available chlorine, 450 mL) were added. Once the solution of sodium hypochlorite was added, the color of the reaction mixture was changed immediately. When additional amount of sodium hypochlorite solution was added, the color of the reaction mixture was gradually faded. When TLC showed that all of the starting material was consumed, the color of the reaction mixture was no longer changed. The reaction mixture was then diluted with ethyl acetate (EtOAc, 500 mL) and two layers were separated. The organic layer was washed with water (500 mL) and the saturated aqueous sodium chloride solution (500 mL) and dried over sodium sulfate (Na2SO4). The solvent was then removed under reduced pressure to give the crude product, tert-butyl 3-oxoazetidine-1-carboxylate (11, 48 g, 49.47 g theoretical, 97% yield), which was found to be sufficiently pure and was used directly in the subsequent reaction without further purification. For crude 11: 1HNMR (CDCl3, 300 MHz), δ 4.65 (s, 4H), 1.42 (s, 9H) ppm.
Step 4. tert-Butyl 3-(cyanomethylene)azetidine-1-carboxylate (13)
Diethyl cyanomethyl phosphate (12, 745 g, 4.20 mol, 1.20 equiv) and anhydrous tetrahydrofuran (THF, 9 L) was added to a four-neck flask equipped with a thermowell, an addition funnel and the nitrogen protection tube at room temperature. The solution was cooled with an ice-methanol bath to −14° C. and a 1.0 M solution of potassium tert-butoxide (t-BuOK) in anhydrous tetrahydrofuran (THF, 3.85 L, 3.85 mol, 1.1 equiv) was added over 20 minutes keeping the reaction temperature below −5° C. The resulting reaction mixture was stirred for 3 hours at −10° C. and a solution of 1-tert-butoxycarbonyl-3-azetidinone (11, 600 g, 3.50 mol) in anhydrous tetrahydrofuran (THF, 2 L) was added over 2 h keeping the internal temperature below −5° C. The reaction mixture was stirred at −5 to −10° C. over 1 hour and then slowly warmed up to room temperature and stirred at room temperature for overnight. The reaction mixture was then diluted with water (4.5 L) and saturated aqueous sodium chloride solution (NaCl, 4.5 L) and extracted with ethyl acetate (EtOAc, 2×9 L). The combined organic layers were washed with brine (6 L) and dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate (Na2SO4). The organic solvent was removed under reduced pressure and the residue was diluted with dichloromethane (CH2Cl2, 4 L) before being absorbed onto silica gel (SiO2, 1.5 Kg). The crude product, which was absorbed on silica gel, was purified by flash column chromatography (SiO2, 3.5 Kg, 0-25% EtOAc/hexanes gradient elution) to afford tert-butyl 3-(cyanomethylene)azetidine-1-carboxylate (13, 414.7 g, 679.8 g theoretical, 61% yield) as white solid. For 13: 1H NMR (CDCl3, 300 MHz), δ 5.40 (m, 1H), 4.70 (m, 2H), 4.61 (m, 2H), 1.46 (s, 9H) ppm; C10H14N2O2 (MW, 194.23), LCMS (EI) m/e 217 (M′+Na).

To a 30 L reactor equipped with a mechanic stirrer, an addition funnel and a septum was charged sodium hydroxide (NaOH, 1.4 kg, 35 mol) and water (7 L, 3.13 kg, 17.43 mol). To the solution thus obtained was added 1,4-dioxa-8-azaspiro[4.5]decane hydrochloric acid (14, 3.13 kg, 17.43 mol). The mixture was stirred at 25° C. for 30 minutes. Then the solution was saturated with sodium chloride (1.3 kg) and extracted with 2-methyl-tetrahydrofuran (3×7 L). The combined organic layer was dried with anhydrous sodium sulfate (1.3 kg), filtered and concentrated under reduced pressure (70 mmHg) at 50° C. The yellow oil thus obtained was distilled under reduced pressure (80 mmHg, bp: 115° C. to 120° C.) to give compound 15 (2.34 kg, 16.36 mol, 93.8%) as a clear oil, which was used directly in the subsequent coupling reaction.

To the resulting solution was added 1,4-dioxa-8-azaspiro[4.5]decane (15, 2.34 kg, 16.36 mol, 1.14 equiv) with stirring over 20 minutes. Triethylamine (Et3N, 4 L, 28.67 mol, 2.00 equiv) was then added over 1 hour. The temperature was kept between 5° C. and 10° C. during the additions. The dark brown solution thus obtained was stirred for 12 hours at 20° C. and then chilled to 10° C. With vigorous stirring, 18 L of saturated sodium bicarbonate solution and 36 L of water were sequentially added and the temperature was kept under 15° C. The precipitation (filter cake) thus obtained was collected by filtration. The aqueous phase was then saturated with 12 kg of solid sodium chloride and extracted with EtOAc (2×18 L). The combined organic layer was washed with saturated sodium bicarbonate solution (18 L), and water (2×18 L) in sequence. The filter cake from the previous filtration was dissolved back in the organic phase. The dark brown solution thus obtained was washed twice with 18 L of water each and then concentrated under reduced pressure (40-50° C., 30 mm Hg) to give 5.0 kg of the crude product as viscous brown oil. The crude product 17 obtained above was dissolved in EtOH (8.15 L) at 50° C. Water (16.3 L) was added over 30 minutes. The brown solution was seeded, cooled to 20° C. over 3 hours with stirring and stirred at 20° C. for 12 h.

To the reaction mixture was added 6.0 N aqueous hydrochloric acid (HCl, 450 mL, 2.70 mol, 9.0 equiv), while the internal temperature was kept below 10° C. The resulting reaction mixture was then warmed to room temperature and an additional amount of 6.0 N aqueous hydrochloric acid (HCl, 1050 mL, 6.30 mol, 21.0 equiv) was slowly introduced to the reaction mixture at room temperature in 8 hours via the addition funnel. The reaction mixture was then cooled to 0° C. before being treated with 30% aqueous sodium hydroxide (NaOH, 860 mL, 8.57 mmol, 28.6 equiv) while the internal temperature was kept at below 10° C. The resulting reaction mixture was subsequently warmed to room temperature prior to addition of solid sodium bicarbonate (NaHCO3, 85.0 g, 1.01 mol, 3.37 equiv) in 1 hour. The mixture was then extracted with EtOAc (2×1.2 L), and the combined organic phase was washed with 16% aqueous sodium chloride solution (2×800 mL) and concentrated to approximately 1.0 L by vacuum distillation. Heptane (2.1 L) was added to the residue, and the resulting mixture was concentrated to 1.0 L by vacuum distillation. To the concentrated mixture was added heptane (2.1 L).

The resulting reaction mixture was warmed to 20±5° C., and kept stirring at room temperature for an additional 5 hours. The reaction mixture was then cooled to 0-5° C. before water (12.17 mL, 0.676 mol, 50 equiv) was added. The internal temperature was kept at below 5.0° C. during addition of water. The resultant mixture was warmed to 20±5° C. and kept stirring at room temperature for 2 hours. The reaction mixture was then cooled to 0-5° C. and aqueous ammonium hydroxide (NH4OH, 5 N, 121.7 mmol, 9.0 equiv) was added. During addition of aqueous ammonium hydroxide solution, the internal temperature was kept at below 5.0° C.

EtOAc (120 mL) was added to the residue, and the resulting solution was stirred at 20±5° C. for 30 minutes. The solution was then washed with 7% aqueous sodium bicarbonate solution (2×46 mL) and 13% aqueous sodium bicarbonate solution (46 mL). The resultant organic phase was diluted with EtOAc (46 mL) and treated with water (64 mL) at 50±5° C. for 30 minutes. The mixture was cooled to 20±5° C. and the two phases were separated. The organic phase was treated with water (64 mL) at 50±5° C. for 30 minutes for the second time. The mixture was cooled to 20±5° C. and the two phases were separated.

The compound obtained by this synthetic approach is identical in every comparable aspect to the compound 8 manufactured by the synthetic method as described above inExample 1.
