Popis: Different synthetic routes to the enantiomerically pure octahydrobenzo[g]quinoline derivative JNZ092 were evaluated for their suitability to rapidly prepare a first clinical batch on a kilogram scale. On the basis of the experience of previous octahydrobenzo[g]quinoline projects a new linear synthesis of JNZ092 was established and scaled up successfully. The overall yield was increased by a factor 10 and the preparation time shortened significantly as compared to those of the medicinal chemistry route. As the key strategy all atoms of the octahydrobenzo[g]quinoline skeleton were introduced early by the reaction of the 6-lithiated 1,7-dimethoxynaphthalene with ethyl-2-cyano-3-ethoxyacrylate. As a valuable technological refinement the practicability of a chromatographic technique with repetitive feed injection for the problematic separation of the enantiomers was demonstrated.
