Popis: | An efficient process was developed for the manufacture of MSA100, a serotonin receptor antagonist, via a five-step synthetic route furnishing a high quality of active pharmaceutical ingredient. Highlights of this synthesis include: (1) replacing carcinogenic methyl iodide with methyl p-toluenesulfonate as the methylating reagent; (2) a hydrogenation protocol with optimized temperature, pressure, and mass-transfer conditions that avoided one side product and reduced the other one effectively; (3) chemical resolution employing D-camphoric acid in a mixed-solvent system; (4) amidation under anhydrous conditions for controlling a Michael adduct impurity; and (5) plausible mechanisms for the formation of side products. |
