Abstract:

The original synthetic route of gamma secretase inhibitors(LY411575) was improved, the yield of 35% was achieved which increased by 16% compared with the traditional process. Meanwhile, key interme-diates were resolved by chiral acid in advance so that the consumption of raw materials in latter three steps of synthetic process was decreased by 50%. The method contributed to decrease the reaction cost and the difficulty of product purification. In addition, the single-factor experiment was conducted for main factors affected the resolving process to study the influence of various factors on the e.e. value and the yield of products. The optimal reaction condition was obtained as follows: D-(+)-2 methyl benzoyl tartaric acid as the resolution agent, methanol as the solvent, heated to reflux for dissolution, the solvent of 12 mL per gram substrate, the time from the initial temperature of reflux to room temperature controlled in 120 min, the resolution yield of 40% and the e.e. value of 99%.
