Syntheses of enantiomerically pure (R)- and (S)-bicalutamide
摘要:
The racemic antiandrogen bicalutamide is the leading antiandrogen used for the treatment of prostate cancer. The (R)-isomer possesses virtually all of the activity, but both isomers are metabolized by the liver. A convenient synthetic route to the active enantiomer would be an attractive option for patients who are hepatically impaired. We now demonstrate a rather short synthesis of (R)-bicalutamide, starting with a naturally occurring, chiral precursor. (C) 2002 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved.

The present invention relates to a new process for the synthesis of racemic and optically active bicalutamide starting from ethyl pyruvate and methyl methacrylate. The present invention discloses processes of preparing bicalutamide intermediates including ethyl-[2-{4-fluorophenyl sulfone}]-2-hydroxy propionate, 1,2-epoxy-2-methyl propionate and 2-hydrox-2-methyl-3-(4-fluorophenylthio) propionic acid. The present invention further discloses micronized rac-bicalutamide and the preparation thereof. The present invention further discloses a new process for the isolation and purification of racemic and optically active bicalutamide.
