This report discloses an industrially feasible and cost efficient process for the preparation of the compound [(3R, 4R)-3-(3,4-dimethyl-4-piperidinyl)- phenol] (1), which is used as the key intermediate for preparation of the opioid drug Alvimopan. The overall yield in this process is increased from 15 to 30%, mainly due to the improvement in yield from 26 to 53% for intermediate 7.

Page/Page column 17; 19-20, (2010/11/26)
Compositions containing opioid antagonists are disclosed, particularly alvimopan and its active metabolite in solid dosage forms, where the drug is uniformly distributed, achieves the desired bioavailability, and is stable. Methods of preparing and using the compositions containing opioid antagonists are also disclosed. The results are achieved by a combination of processing techniques and component selection.

Improved syntheses of two trans-3,4-dimethyl-4-(3-hydroxyphenyl)piperidine opioid antagonists from 1,3-dimethyl-4-piperidinone are described. The 1,3-dimethyl-4-arylpiperidinol 23 was selectively dehydrated in a two step process to the 1,3-dimethyl-4-aryl-1,2,3,6-tetrahydropyridine 26 by the cis-thermal elimination of the corresponding alkyl carbonate derivative at 190°C. In the presence of a basic nitrogen, the success of the elimination was found to be critically dependent upon the nature of the carbonate alkyl group, with Et, i-Bu, and i-Pr being preferred (90% yield). Alkylation of the metalloenamine, formed by deprotonation of 26 with n-BuLi, proceeded regio- and stereospecifically to give the trans-3,4-dimethyl-4-aryl-1,2,3,4-tetrahydropyridine 27, which was converted in three steps to the common intermediate, (3R,4R)-3,4-dimethyl-4-(3-hydroxyphenyl)piperidine. LY255582, a centrally-active opioid antagonist, and LY246736-dihydrate, a peripherally-active opioid antagonist, were prepared from 1,3-dimethyl-4-piperidinone in 11.8% yield (8 steps) and 6.2% yield (12 steps), respectively.
