Process for the preparation of ethyl

The present invention relates to a novel process for the preparation of ethyl 3S-[[4-[[4-(aminoiminomethyl)phenyl]amino]-1,4-dioxobutyl]amino]-4-pentyno ate and pharmaceutically acceptable acid addition salt thereof which comprises treating (trimethylsilyl)acetylene sequentially with n-butyllithium and 4-formylmorpholine followed by acid hydrolysis to give 3-(trimethylsilyl)-2-propynal; treating 3-(trimethylsilyl)-2-propynal with lithium bis(trimethylsilyl)amide to give in situ N,3-bis(trimethylsilyl)-2-propyn-1-imine; condensation of N,3-bis(trimethylsilyl)-2-propyn-1-imine with lithium t-butyl acetate to give (.+-.)1,1-dimethylethyl 3-amino-5-(trimethylsilyl)-4-pentynoate; treating (.+-.)1,1-dimethylethyl 3-amino-5-(trimethylsilyl)-4-pentynoate- with p-toluenesulfonic acid to give (.+-.)1,1-dimethylethyl 3-amino-5-(trimethylsilyl)-4-pentynoate, mono p-toluenesulfonic acid salt, treatment of resulting salt with ethanol in the presence of p-toluenesulfonic acid to give (.+-.)ethyl 3-amino-5-(trimethylsilyl)-4-pentynoate; desilylation of (.+-.)ethyl 3-amino-5-(trimethylsilyl)-4-pentynoate to give in situ (.+-.)ethyl 3-amino-4-pentynoate; resolution of (.+-.)ethyl 3-amino-4-pentynoate using (R)-(-)-mandelic acid and treatment of the resolved product with gaseous hydrochloric acid to give ethyl 3S-amino-4-pentynoate, monohydrochloride; coupling the ethyl 3S-amino-4-pentynoate, monohydrochloride to 4-[[4-(aminoiminomethyl)phenyl]amino]-4-oxobutanoic acid, monohydrochloride in the presence of isobutyl chloroformate and N-methylmorpholine to give ethyl 3S-[[4-[[4-(aminoiminomethyl)phenyl]amino]-1,4-dioxobutyl]amino]-4-pentyno ate, monohydrochloride.

1,4-Dideoxy-1,4-imino-L-arabinitol is chemically synthesized from D-lyxonolactone by formation of the pyrrolidine ring by joining the nitrogen between C-1 and C-4 and inversion of configuration at both C-2 and C-4, with the C-3 and C-5 hydroxyl groups being protected throughout the synthesis sequence by benzylidenation. The product is preferably isolated as the hydrochloride salt and is useful as an inhibitor of .alpha.-glucosidase and human immunodeficiency virus (HIV).
