One-Pot Process for Synthesis of Nalbuphine Hydrochloride and Impurity Control Strategy
摘要:
An improved kilogram-scale process of synthesis of nalbuphine was developed by investigating the critical parameters. Ten process-related impurities were identified, of which the source and control strategy was elucidated. Moreover, tetramethylammonium triacetoxyborohydride (Me4NBH(OAc)(3)) was developed to reduce the imine and ketone in one pot. As a result, 6-beta-epimer was significantly controlled to only 0.08% in the crude nalbuphine. The improved process was robust at kilogram scale in 60.4% overall yield with 99.95% high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) purity.
