Various synthetic routes to 2-isopropyl-4-methoxyphenol 3, the phenol core of Gefapixant citrate (MK-7264), are described, which provide better alternatives to the initial four-step supply route. These new routes include a coumarin fragmentation approach in flow, a rhenium-catalyzed isopropylation of mequinol, and a bromination/methoxylation of 2-isopropylphenol. After exploring several approaches, a robust two-step process for the preparation of 3 from the commodity starting material 2-isopropylphenol was developed. The optimized route employs a highly regioselective bromination. After isolating the bromophenol DABCO cocrystal, a copper-catalyzed methoxylation delivers 3 in high yield. This route is successfully demonstrated at the plant scale with low process mass intensity and cost.

柠檬酸Gefapixant(MK-7264)的绿色可持续制造工艺开发,第2部分:苯酚合成的稳健工艺开发

描述了各种合成2-异丙基-4-甲氧基苯酚3(Gefapixant柠檬酸盐(MK-7264)的苯酚核心)的合成路线,为最初的四步供应路线提供了更好的替代方法。这些新途径包括流动中的香豆素裂解方法,me催化的喹喔啉异丙基化以及2-异丙基苯酚的溴化/甲氧基化。在探索了几种方法之后,开发了一种稳健的两步法,用于从商品起始原料2-异丙基苯酚制备3。优化的路线采用了高度区域选择性的溴化方法。分离出溴酚DABCO共晶体后,铜催化的甲氧基化反应生成3高产。该方法已在工厂规模成功证明,工艺质量强度和成本低。
