Process research and development for a synthesis of the chiral carboxylic acid (R)-2 as a key intermediate of the glucokinase activator (R)-1 is described. The construction of the stereocenter at the α-carbon is a key point for the synthesis of (R)-2. The proposed process utilizes desymmetrization of a ketene in situ generated from the corresponding racemic carboxylic acid Rac-2 with (R)-pantolactone as a chiral auxiliary followed by hydrolysis of the resulting ester. This key step has been successfully scaled up to 20 kg, which demonstrates that this synthetic approach is comparable with a previously reported approach via enantioselective hydrogenation.
