Two Routes to 4-Fluorobenzisoxazol-3-one in the Synthesis of a 5-HT4 Partial Agonist
ORGANIC PROCESS RESEARCH & DEVELOPMENT(2016)
Abstract
A potent 5-HT4 partial agonist, 1 (PF-04995274), targeted for the treatment of Alzheimer's disease and cognitive impairment, has been prepared on a multi-kilogram scale. The initial synthetic route, that proceeded through a 4-substituted 3-hydroxybenzisoxazole core, gave an undesired benzoxazolinone through a Lossen-type rearrangement. Route scouting led to two new robust routes to the desired 4-substituted core. Process development led to the efficient assembly of the API on a pilot plant scale under process-friendly conditions with enhanced throughput. In addition, crystallization of a hemicitrate salt of the API with pharmaceutically beneficial properties was developed to enable progression of clinical studies.
