Synthesis of (S)-3-(N-Methylamino)-1-(2-thienyl)propan-1-ol:  Revisiting Eli Lilly's Resolution−Racemization−Recycle Synthesis of Duloxetine for Its Robust Processes

Abstract: 3-(N,N-Dimethylamino)-1-(2-thienyl)propan-1-ol (6), prepared from 2-acetylthiophene (4) in a two-step overall yield of 79%, is resolved into (S)-6 of 93% ee as its diastereomeric salt (8) with (S)-mandelic acid (7) according to Eli Lilly's procedures developed for the resolution-racemization-recycle (RRR) synthesis of duloxetine (2) with some modifications in terms of practicality. On its liberation from 8, (S)-6 undergoes Ndemethylative ethyl carbamate formation in two discrete but successive steps in an over… Show more

“…2 Occasionally, the undesired isomer can be racemized so that it can be recycled. 3 However, this crystallization-based method is typically labor intensive, and suffers frequently from unreliable reproductivity. 4 Hence, new, high-yielding, low-cost chiral separation methods are a major target in current research.…”

“…(9) and (13) and that will result in non-zero enantioselectivities of forward and backward reactions. It is then interesting that some of the well-known catalysts for chiral separation, asymmetric synthesis, or even ligation (Fujima et al 2006;Sczepanski and Joyce 2014) have more stereo centers of opposite chirality in comparison to the substances on which they operate.…”

“…However, catalytic systems developed by synthetic chemists only yield the product with moderate enantiomeric excesses (ee) of 80-88%, and additionally carry the risk of metal contamination [13,14,17,18]. Therefore, the predominant approach to date is via the resolution-racemization-recycle synthesis from racemic N,Ndimethyl-3-hydroxy-3-(2-thienyl)-1-propanamine (DHTP, 2b) or N-methyl-3-hydroxy-3-(2-thienyl)-1-propanamine (MHTP, 1b) to form the corresponding (S)-enantiomer, which involves multiple reaction steps and stoichiometric amount of (S)-mandelic acid as the resolution reagent [19].…”
