A practical process for the preparation of remogliflozin etabonate, a prodrug of the selective low-affinity Na+-dependent glucose co-transporter (SGLT2) inhibitor, remogliflozin, is described. We established a chemoselective synthetic route to 1,2-dihydro-4-[(4-isopropoxyphenypmethyl]-1-isopropyl-5-methyl-3H-pyrazol-3-one and an efficient O-glycosylation of this compound with 2,3,4,6-tetra-O-pivaloyl-alpha-D-glucopyranosyl bromide. This synthetic process provided remogliflozin etabonate in a 39% overall yield from commercially available 4-isopropoxybenzaldehyde.
