t mpound XVIII,
(XVIII).
This compound, which also known as Telaprevir, could be prepared in higher yields and with higher efficiency than any previously disclosed processes. Furthermore, the chiral information used for the preparation was derived from readily available simple building blocks, making the process a highly effective approach to such prolyl dipeptides and similar peptidomimetics.
EXAMPLE 22
(5)-Methyl 2-cyclohexyl-2-(pyrazine-2-carboxamido)acetate (9).
Pyrazinecarboxylic acid (2.72 g, 21.9 mmol) was added to a solution of L- cyclohexylglycine methyl ester (4.13 g, 19.9 mmol) in CH2CI2 (100 ml) at room temperature under N2, forming a white suspension. Triethylamine (6.33 ml, 4.62 g, 45.8 mmol) was added, followed by benzotriazol-l-yloxy-tris-(dimethylamino)- phosphonium hexafluorophosphate (BOP; 9.69 g, 21.9 mmol), which turned the reaction mixture from purple to an orange solution. After two days of stirring at room temperature the reaction mixture was washed two times with 50 ml saturated Na2CC>3, followed by the washing of the aqueous layers with CH2CI2 (2 χ 50 ml). The organic layers were collected and dried with MgSC , followed by concentration in vacuo. Purification by silica gel flash chromatography (c-Hex:EtOAc = 2: 1 with 0.5% triethylamine) afforded 9 (5.28 g, 19.03 mmol, 96%) as a yellow oil that solidified upon standing to give a white solid.

telaprevir according to Formula 1
http://www.google.im/patents/WO2013135870A1?cl=en
Telaprevir is a protease inhibitor that can be used as antiviral drug. By way of example, telaprevir inhibits the hepatitis C virus NS3-4A serine protease.
Although some processes for the synthesis of telaprevir or its pharmaceutical acceptable salts are available, it is an object of the present invention to provide an alternative process, in particular an enhanced process that overcomes at least one of the problems of the prior art processes.
Y. Yip et al. Bioorg. Med. Chem. Lett., 2004, 14, 5007 discloses the preparation of a 1 :1 mixture of isomers defined by Formula 5a (see Scheme 1 ) which isomers appear to have a stereochemical configuration other than that of telaprevir. WO 2007/022459 A2 discloses a process for preparing telaprevir, wherein in a first coupling step, a bicyclic pyrrolidine derivative is reacted with a protected amino acid, followed by a stepwise extension of the chain of the amino acid to provide a tripeptide as shown in Formula 2. Subsequently, a β-amino acid is added to the carbon chain-end opposite to said previously built chain. Finally, telaprevir is obtained in an oxidation step. Turner et al. (Chemical Communications 2010, 46(42), 7918) discloses a process for the preparation of teiaprevir by applying an Ugi reaction type process which reacts a compound of Formula 2
a chiral imine, namely (3aS,6aR)-1 ,3a,4,5,6,6a-hexahydrocyclopenta[c]pyrrole, which is obtained by enzyme technology and is thus difficult to prepare and is instabile and a relatively unstable isonitrile derivative of formula 4.
Summary of the invention The known processes for the preparation of teiaprevir are based on long linear sequences or require the use of labile, highly reactive agents and specific enzymes. The process described herein may for example allow to avoid the use of said labile, highly reactive reactants and specific enzymes. It was surprisingly found within the context of the present invention that teiaprevir may be prepared in a smaller number of process steps in a convergent manner by using stabile precursors (see an example process in Figure 1 ). The present invention may also contribute to preserving the desired stereochemical configuration during the process of preparing teiaprevir. In particular, it has been found that the desired stereochemical configuration may be preserved during the process of peptide bond formation in the compound according to Formula 5 when using the coupling agents described herein, in particular when using 2, 4,6-tripropyl-1 ,3,5,2,4,6- trioxatriphosphorinane-2,4,6-trioxide (T3P) or related compounds in dichloromethane. It is also possible to use a combination of a diimide coupling reagent, including but not being limited to dicyclohexylcarbodiimide (DCC), diispropylcarbodiimide (DIC) and 1-ethyl-3-(3- dimethy!aminopropyl)carbodiimide hydrochloride (EDC), with 1-hydroxy-benzotriazole (HOBt) or 1-hydroxy-7-aza-benzotriazole (HOAt) or related reagents for preparing teiaprevir. It has been found that the coupling agents are particularly effective when used in the presence of a lewis acid such as a copper salt. It was also unexpectedly found that the choice of solvent for carrying out the coupling reaction may further enhance the preservation of the stereochemical configuration during peptide bond formation in the compound according to Formula 5.
Furthermore, the expensive compound according to Formula 3
3
is used at a later stage of the process compared to the process of WO 2007/022459 A2, namely for coupling to the compound according to Formula 2 which already represents a dipeptide. Considering the yields of the single process steps, a smaller amount of the compound according to Formula 3 is required according to the invention, and, thus, the process may be less costly. Compared to the above method of Turner et al., it is not required to use a toxic and instable isonitrile compound. It has also been found that the process for preparing telaprevir may provide an advantage since fewer impurities such as epimeric forms and other byproducts may be formed.
