PF-04191834 works in animal models by inhibiting one of the enzymes, 5-lipoxygenasein which is involved in the pathway that causes inflammation and pain. The purpose of this study is to test how effective, safe and tolerated PF-04191834 is in patients with osteoarthritis of the knee by itself or with naproxen, particularly to test if patients have less pain.

Anhydrous dioxane (2.3 L) was added and the mixture was stirred at room temperature for 1 h. To the mixture was added triisopropylsilane thiol (221 g 1.16 mole) and the resulting mixture was heated to reflux. Reflux was stopped after 1 h and the mixture was allowed to cool to room temperature. The mixture was then poured into ethyl acetate (7 L) which was then washed with H2O (2×4 L) and brine (2 L). The combined aqueous washes were back extracted with ethyl acetate (3 L) which was then washed with H2O (2×2 L) and brine (1 L). The combined organic layers were dried over MgSO4, filtered and concentrated to dryness. Ethyl acetate (0.5 L) was added to the solid and the mixture was stirred on the rotary evaporator to give a fine suspension. Hexanes (1.5 L) was then added and the suspension was allowed to stand for 1 hour. The solid was filtered, washed with 1:1 ethyl acetate-hexanes (1 L) and then hexanes. The resulting brown solid was dried in vacuo to give 334 g (80% yield) of the product in 99% purity. A second crop was obtained from the filtrate which was washed as before and dried to give an additional 15 g product for a total yield of 84%.

  • Migita couplings;
  • one-pot process;
  • triisopropylsilanethiol (TIPS-SH)

Summary

The biggest shortcoming of the medicinal chemistry route is the introduction of the sulfur source for the first of two Migita couplings. The authors felt that the initial Migita coupling was a better candidate for a kinetic study on the formation of impurity, as it was harder to maintain a constant concentration of active Pd for the second coupling with two sources of Pd/ligand in this step. As depicted in the mechanism of the Migita coupling, the catalytic cycle is composed of three steps: oxidative addition, transmetalation, and reductive elimination. This chapter develops a three-step, one-pot process for the synthesis of 5-lipoxygenase inhibitor via a sequence of two Migita couplings. This strategy employed cheap, odorless, and readily available isooctyl 3-mercaptopropionate as the sulfur source for the initial Migita coupling as a general alternative to the popular triisopropylsilanethiol (TIPS-SH) for the formation of diaryl thioethers.

 A de novo three-step-one-pot process for the formation of PF-04191834 was developed. This methodology employed inexpensive, odorless, and readily available commodity chemical iso-octyl-3-mercaptopropionate as a sulfur source, which could be a general alternative to the popular TIPS-SH in the formation of diarylthioethers via Migita coupling. A kinetic study revealed that, at high temperature, reductive elimination could be the rate-limiting step in the catalytic cycle, which opens pathways for the generation of undesired impurities. By proper control of the reaction conditions, the desired API was synthesized in >70% crude yield and in 55% isolated yield after vigorous purifications. This process was successfully demonstrated on a 20 kg scale.
