  • General Description Ramelteon is a selective melatonin MT1/MT2 receptor agonist developed by Takeda Pharmaceuticals North America, primarily used to treat circadian rhythm sleep disorders and insomnia. It is known by various names, including TAK-375 and Rozerem. The drug's synthesis has been optimized through enantioselective methods, such as asymmetric Michael addition, achieving high yields and enantiomeric purity. Alternative synthetic routes have also been developed, improving efficiency by consolidating multiple steps and avoiding costly reagents, thereby enhancing overall yield and practicality for large-scale production. These advancements support its therapeutic application and potential derivative modifications.

Stereoselective synthesis of melatonin receptor agonist ramelteon via asymmetric michael addition

10.3987/COM-11-12366

The study presents a highly enantioselective asymmetric Michael addition approach for synthesizing ramelteon and its analogues. Ramelteon, developed by Takeda Pharmaceuticals North America, is a selective agonist for the melatonin MT1/MT2 receptors, used for treating circadian rhythm sleep disorders. The study aims to develop an efficient synthetic method with high enantiomeric excess (ee) value. Key chemicals involved include α,β-unsaturated aldehydes and malonates, which are used in the asymmetric Michael addition to form chiral carbon-carbon bonds. The researchers optimized reaction conditions, finding that dimethyl malonate with a molar ratio of 2:1 to the aldehyde, a reaction temperature of 0-5 oC, and a 20% catalyst concentration over 48 hours yielded the best results, achieving a 94% yield and 96% ee for the intermediate compound 12. This optimized method was then applied to synthesize ramelteon and its analogues, demonstrating high efficiency and enantioselectivity, with the final product ramelteon achieving an enantiomeric ratio of 92%. The study concludes that this new synthetic approach is valuable for future medicinal modifications of ramelteon derivatives.

A novel and practical synthesis of ramelteon

10.1021/op500386g

The study outlines an efficient and practical synthesis process for ramelteon, a sedative-hypnotic drug used for treating insomnia. The novel synthesis involves the use of acetonitrile as a nucleophilic reagent to add to 4,5-dibromo-1,2,6,7-tetrahydro-8H-indeno[5,4b]furan-8-one, followed by a catalytic hydrogenation step that合并了debromination, dehydration, olefin reduction, and cyano reduction into one operation, resulting in the ethylamine compound. The process utilizes dibenzoyl-L-tartaric acid for salt formation and as a resolution agent, leading to the target compound ramelteon with an overall yield nearly double that of existing methods. The study emphasizes the avoidance of the traditional Wittig-Horner reaction, simplifying the synthesis with cost-effective reagents and reduced reaction steps.
