(R)-2-amino-2-ethoxycarbonylsuccinimide (ASI-2) is a key intermediate used in the pharmaceutical industry and is valuable for the industrial synthesis of ranirestat, which is a potent aldose reductase inhibitor. ASI-2 was synthesized in a process combining chemical synthesis and bioconversion. Bioconversion in this study is a key reaction, since optically active carboxylic acid derivative ((R)-1-ethyl hydrogen 3-benzyloxycarbonylamino-3-ethoxycarbonyl-succinate, Z-MME-AE) is synthesized from a prochiral ester, diethyl 2-benzyloxycarbonyla-mino-2-ethoxycarbonylsuccinate, Z-MDE-AE, at a theoretical yield of 100%. Upon screening for microorganisms that asymmetrically hydrolyze Z-MDE-AE, Bacillus thuringiensis NBRC13866 was found. A novel esterase EstBT that produces Z-MME-AE was purified from Bacillus thuringiensis NBRC13866 and was stably produced in Escherichia coli JM109 cells. Using EstBT rather than porcine liver esterase (PLE), ASI-2 was synthesized with a 17% higher total yield by a novel method, suggesting that the esterase EstBT is a PLE substitute enzyme and therefore, may be of interest for future industrial applications.

The process development of ethyl-(R)-3-amino-2,5-dioxopyrrolidine-3-carboxylate (2), the chiral intermediate for the manufacture of AS-3201 (1), is described. A practical and scalable Shibasaki asymmetric amination that generates the chiral quaternary center was developed and demonstrated on kilogram scale. A safe, convenient, and large-scale hydrogenation of the hydrazine intermediate was also developed.

The present invention provides with a process of preparing an optically active succinimide derivative, which is a key intermediate for production of ranirestat. A compound (3) is easily prepared by treating the derivative of succinic acid diester of the formula (2): wherein R1 is an amino group protected with a group removed by hydrogenolysis or a tert-butoxycarbonylamino group and R2 is an ethyl group optionally substituted with one or two methyl group(s) at α-position, provided that R2 is not a tert-butyl group when R1 is a tert-butoxycarbonylamino group; with alkali metal alkoxide and the compound (3) can be an important intermediate for production of ranirestat.
