Description

Process for the preparation of an intermediate product of ivosidenib
Field of the invention The present invention is directed to a process for the preparation of (3,3-difluorocyclo- butyl)isonitrile, an intermediate product in the synthesis of ivosidenib.
Background of the invention The preparation of ivosidenib, IUPAC name /V-[(lri)-l-(2-chlorophenyl)-2-[(3,3-di- fluorocyclobutyl)amino]-2-oxoethyl]-l-(4-cyanopyridin-2-yl)-/V-(5-fluoropyridin-3-yl)- 5-oxo-L-prolinamide, is known from WO 2013/107291. According to WO 2013/107291, the intermediate product (3,3-difluorocyclobutyl)isonitrile is prepared from A -(3 , 3 -di fl uorocy cl ob uty 1 )form a i de in dichloromethane using PPh3 and CCU and TEA (triethylamine) and is subsequently purified by filtration and column chromatography.
The chemical formulae (1), (2), (3), and (4) of A -(3 , 3 -di fl uorocy cl ob uty 1 )form am i de, (3,3-difluorocyclobutyl)isonitrile, A - J 1 -(2-chl orophenyl )-2-[(3 , 3 -di fl uorocy cl o- butyl )amino]-2-oxo-ethyl J-Af-(5-fluoro-3-pyridyl)-(S)-5-oxo-pyrrolidine-2-carboxamide and ivosidenib, respectively, are shown below as well as the process for preparing ivosidenib, as described in WO 2013/107291.

This process for preparing (3,3-difluorocyclobutyl)isonitrile has several disadvantages. Several byproducts are formed so that the (3,3-difluorocyclobutyl)isonitrile needs to be purified by filtration and column chromatography. However, purification by column chromatography is expensive, cumbersome, and not suitable for the purification of an intermediate product in large scale production. Furthermore, PPh3 and CCU are not environmentally friendly and their use causes significant regulatory burden. Furthermore, the use of PPI13 poses several problems. First, PPI13 needs to be added as a solid under N2 atmosphere. Second, PPh3 byproducts are difficult to remove during the purification process.
Therefore, it was an object of the present invention to provide an improved process for preparing (3,3-difluorocyclobutyl)isonitrile that is more cost efficient, requires fewer starting materials, has a higher yield and does not require an additional purification step by filtration and column chromatography.
Summary of the invention
These objects have surprisingly been solved by the process according to the present invention for preparing (3,3-difluorocyclobutyl)isonitrile according to formula (2)

with an aprotic organic solvent (I), and (b) reacting the A -(3 , 3 -di fl uorocy cl ob uty 1 )form am i de according to formula (1) with propylphosphonic acid anhydride (III) in the presence of a tertiary amine base (II).
It has surprisingly been found that the use of propylphosphonic acid anhydride (III) in the presence of a tertiary amine base (II) overcomes the problems associated with the prior art process for preparing (3,3-difluorocyclobutyl)isonitrile. In particular, this new process omits the necessity for an additional purification step after the reaction is completed and the (3,3-difluorocyclobutyl)isonitrile can be used directly in the subsequent step of the synthesis of ivosidenib without purification or isolation. Additionally, the two-component system of solid PPh3 and liquid CCU is replaced by one component, making the process more facile to handle. Even further, the process of the present invention results in improved yields over the prior art process.
In another embodiment, the present invention relates to the use of propylphosphonic acid anhydride (III) for preparing a compound according to formulae (2), (3) and/or (4).
In another embodiment, the present invention relates to a process for preparing the compound of formula (3) comprising the steps
(i) preparing (3,3-difluorocyclobutyl)isonitrile according to formula (2) by the process according to the present invention and
(ii) reacting the (3,3-difluorocyclobutyl)isonitrile according to formula (2) with 2- chlorobenzaldehyde, 3-amino-5-fluoropyridine, and L-pyroglutamic acid to obtain the compound according to formula (3).
In yet another embodiment, the present invention relates to a process for preparing ivosidenib according to formula (4) comprising the step
(i) preparing (3,3-difluorocyclobutyl)isonitrile according to formula (2) by the process according to the present invention.
