A combined high-throughput screening and reaction profiling approach to the telescoping of two reductions in the synthesis of Salbutamol is described. Optimization studies revealed the beneficial effect of mildly acidic conditions, and the use of water as a cosolvent. Persistent formation of deoxygenated impurities using a Pd/C catalyst led to the initiation of reaction profiling studies, which revealed that the ketone intermediate formed after rapid debenzylation is the sole source of deoxygenated impurities, indicating that more rapid ketone hydrogenation should minimize this deoxygenation. A dual catalyst approach based on these insights has been developed, with both Pd/Pt and Ru/Pt catalyst systems as more selective than Pd-only systems. Based on reaction profiles that indicate the deoxygenation side reaction is first-order in the concentration of debenzylated ketone intermediate, Pt catalysts for rapid and selective ketone hydrogenation were paired with Pd and Ru catalysts known to perform selective debenzylation. Optimization of these dual catalyst processes led to conditions that were demonstrated on 20 g scale to prepare Salbutamol in 49% isolated yield after recrystallization.

A practical two-stage one-pot synthesis of N-substituted β-amino alcohols using aldehydes and isocyanides as starting materials has been developed. This method features mild reaction conditions, broad scope, and general tolerance of functional groups. Based on a less common central carbon-carbon bond disconnection, this protocol complements traditional approaches that involve amines and various carbon electrophiles (epoxides, α-halo ketones, β-halohydrins). Medicinally relevant products can be prepared in a concise and efficient way from simple building blocks, as demonstrated in the synthesis of the antiasthma drug salbutamol. Upgrading the synthesis to an enantioselective variant is also feasible.
Chemoenzymatic dynamic kinetic resolution as a key step in the enantioselective synthesis of (S)-salbutamol
Traeff, Annika,Solarte, Carmen E.,Baeckvall, Jan-E.
experimental part, p. 919 - 927 (2012/02/01)
The synthesis of (S)-salbutamol is described. By utilizing DKR in the enantiodetermining step, employing Burkholderia cepacia lipase (PS-IM), (S)-acetate ((S)-6) was obtained in excellent enantiomeric excess (98%). The subsequent transformations yielded t
