A practical asymmetric synthesis of sitagliptin phosphate, from 1-3-(trifluoromethyl)-5,6-dihydro-[1,2,4]triazolo-[4,3-a]pyrazin-7(8H)-yl}-4-(2,4,5-trifluorophenyl)butane-1,3-dione, in overall 65.3% yield has been reported. The target compound was synthesized via eneamination, diastereoselective reduction, amine-deprotection, and phosphatization. The key diastereoselective reduction was performed with NaBH4 and ZnCl2, and it gave the product with almost quantitative yield and 68.5% d.e. value after simple work-up and recrystallization with IPA/PE; a high enantiopurity (d.e.% = 99.3%) can also be obtained in 57.1% yield.

磷酸西他列汀,总收率为 65.3%。目标化合物是通过烯化、非对映选择性还原、胺脱保护和
磷酸化合成的。关键的非对映选择性还原是用 NaBH4 和 ZnCl2 进行的,经过简单的加工和用 IPA/PE 重结晶后,产物的收率几乎达到定量,d.e.值为 68.5%;还可以获得高对映体纯度(d.e.% = 99.3%),收率为 57.1%。
