An efficient, safe, and cost-effective synthesis of 3-carboxy-(2R)[[hydroxy[(tetradecyl)oxy]phosphinyl]oxy]-N,N,N-trimethyl-1-propanaminium hydroxide inner salt (1, CPI975), a carnitine palmitoyltransferase I inhibitor, is described. The reaction of 1-tetradecanol (2) with stoichiometric amounts Of PCl3 in THF at -15 to -20 degreesC furnished 1-tetradecyl phosphorochloridate (3). Treatment of 3 directly with L-carnitine (7) in THF in the presence of 2,4,6.collidine afforded 8, which was oxidized with bromine to afford a crude aqueous solution of 1. Desalting was done using a cheap, stable, and recyclable resin Amberlite XAD-4. The drug substance was purified by recrystallization from a mixture of ethanol and THE The yield of 1 was 65 % with 99.7% purity. Alternatively, instead of desalting with Amberlite XAD-4 resin, 1 can be isolated by an extraction with 1-decanol, followed by precipitation with acetone and recrystallization from ethanol and THF mixture.
