Development of a Practical Manufacturing Process to Relebactam via Thorough Understanding of the Origin and Control of Oligomeric Impurities

Abstract: The development of a robust manufacturing process to relebactam, a potent β-lactamase inhibitor, is described. The origin and control strategy of oligomer impurities formed during hydrogenolysis of benzyl urea intermediate 9 and deprotection of Boc-sulfate intermediate 11 have been thoroughly studied and developed. The optimal manufacturing process has been successfully implemented for commercialization, preparing relebactam (1) in >99% purity with a non-detectable level of oligomers.

“…The optimum reaction conditions required the use of isopropylacetate (IPA) in addition to AcOH and water to This process, although run on a pilot-scale multiple times, encountered a few shortcomings: (1) oligomer formation was observed in the hydroxy intermediate and in the crude relebactam product, (2) heavy slurry formation at the sulfation step made batch agitation cumbersome, and (3) there were difficulties using TMSI on a pilot scale. Therefore, the Merck team underwent the reinvestigation of these problems and published the outcomes in recent results [60]. It was established that the oligomer formation results from the hydroxy product 6 and is activated by the presence of a base during the reaction and by water in the crystalized form of hydroxy urea product.…”

“…The optimum reaction conditions required the use of isopropylacetate (IPA) in addition to AcOH and water to suppress oligomer formation during the reaction process. The thickness of the batch during the sulfation reaction was avoided by replacing the SO 3 -pyridine complex with a SO 3 -Et 3 N complex, and TMSI was replaced with bromotrimethylsilane (TMSBr) for the deprotection of Boc in the final step [60].…”
