- PROCESSES FOR PREPARING INTERMEDIATE COMPOUNDS USEFUL FOR THE PREPARATION OF EZETIMIBE
-
The invention relates, in general, to an improved process for the preparation of the compounds (3R,4S)-4-(4-(benzyloxy)phenyl)-1-(4-fluorophenyl)-3-[3-(4-fluorophenyl)-3-oxopropyl]azetidin-2-one and (3R,4S)-1-(4-fluorophenyl)-3-[3-(4-fluorophenyl)-3-oxopropyl]-4-(4-hydroxyphenyl)-azetidin-2-one, which are key intermediates for the synthesis of ezetimibe, as well as the use of these intermediates for the preparation of ezetimibe.

- METHOD OF MANUFACTURING (3R, 4S) -1- (4-FLUOROPHENYL) -3- [ (3S) -3- (4 -FLUOROPHENYL) -3-HYDROXYPROPYL) ] -4- (4-HYD ROXYPHENYL) -2-AZETIDINONE
-
A method of manufacturing (3R,4S)-l-(4-fluorophenyl)-3-[(3S)-3-(4-fluorophenyl)-3- hydroxypropyl)]-4-(4-hydroxyphenyl)-2-azetidinone (Ezetimibe) of formula I, starting from the optically active (S)-N-acyl-oxazolidide of formula II, which is reacted with an alkyleneglycol of general formula III, (stage 1), and the obtained acetal-oxazolidide of general formula IV, is subjected to reaction with a silyl-imine of general formula V the produced amino-oxazolidide of general formula VI, (stage 3), and the obtained silylated azetidinone of general formula VII, is desilylated (stage 4), and the ketal of general formula VIII produced this way, is deketalized formula IX is finally reduced.
