This multiauthor review article aims to bring readers up to date with some of the current trends in the field of process analytical technology (PAT) by summarizing each aspect of the subject (sensor development, PAT based process monitoring and control methods) and presenting applications both in industrial laboratories and in manufacture e.g. at GSK, AstraZeneca and Roche. Furthermore, the paper discusses the PAT paradigm from the regulatory science perspective. Given the multidisciplinary nature of PAT, such an endeavour would be almost impossible for a single author, so the concept of a multiauthor review was born. Each section of the multiauthor review has been written by a single expert or group of experts with the aim to report on its own research results. This paper also serves as a comprehensive source of information on PAT topics for the novice reader.
Over the past decade, the scientific community has witnessed a dramatic increase in the number of catalytic transformations promoted by palladium complexes. [1] At the same time, continued improvements to both new and existing Pdcatalyzed reactions have resulted in milder conditions and greater substrate generality. These developments in Pd catalysis can be largely attributed to an increased understanding of the individual steps involved in catalytic reactions, particularly oxidative addition, [2] transmetalation, [3] and reductive elimination. [4] Because these elementary processes factor prominently in most catalytic cycles, improvements to palladium-catalyzed reactions have mainly focused on altering the electronic and steric properties of ligands coordinated to the Pd center to accelerate one or more of these steps. [5] However, a key step that remains poorly understood, yet directly impacts the overall rate and performance of a Pd 0catalyzed transformation, is the catalyst activation step. This step involves the reduction of a stable Pd II precursor to an active, zero-valent palladium catalyst and must occur prior to entering the catalytic cycle (Scheme 1). Despite the obvious implications of catalyst activation on a palladium-catalyzed reaction, there is a scarcity of detailed studies concerning the mechanism and efficiency of this reduction process. [6] Herein, we present studies that provide an in depth understanding of the in situ generation of {L n Pd 0 } (n = 1 or 2) catalysts under the standard conditions of a common Pd-catalyzed transformation, the Miyaura borylation [Eq. (1)]. Two pathways for catalyst activation were identified, which provide distinct {L n Pd 0 } complexes: (1) a bisphosphine Pd 0 species resulting from the diboron-mediated reduction of {L 2 Pd II } and (2) a monophosphine Pd 0 species resulting from the basepromoted reduction of {L 2 Pd II } by a ligated phosphine. Direct comparison of the catalytic activity of the resulting {L n Pd} species reveals the impact that catalyst activation has on both the identity and reactivity of a palladium catalyst.We began our studies by determining the reagent(s) responsible for the reduction of a Pd II precatalyst to an active Pd 0 species during the Miyaura borylation. The air-stable catalyst precursor [(Cy 3 P) 2 Pd(OAc) 2 ] (1), [7] which is readily formed from the combination of Pd(OAc) 2 and 2.0 equiv PCy 3 , was chosen for these investigations owing to its widespread application in the borylation of aryl halides. [8] A series of stoichiometric reactions were conducted between 1 and the typical reagents utilized in the borylation reaction to determine the effectiveness of each reagent towards the reduction of 1 (Table 1).The intramolecular reduction of the related complex [(Ph 3 P) 2 Pd(OAc) 2 ] to form an anionic Pd 0 species and triphenylphosphine oxide has been reported by Amatore [9] and others. [10] However, we found that prolonged heating of 1 at 70 8C in toluene, [11] either alone or with added PCy 3 , gave no observable formation o...
This manuscript details the process research and development of a convergent and safe approach to 1 on a multikilo scale. Specific highlights of the process development efforts will be described, including the development of a dehydrogenation method for dihydropyrimidines and a thermochemically safe synthesis of a 1,2,4-aminotriazole fragment. A key feature of the synthesis is the use and optimization of a modified Julia-Kocienski olefination reaction. Specifically, we report an unprecedented dependence of the product olefin geometry on reaction temperature, where an E:Z ratio as high as 200:1 can be obtained. Initial insights into the mechanistic rationale for this observation are also provided. Finally, a purity upgrade sequence via an intermediate crystalline form is highlighted as a method of controlling the final API quality.
