ABSTRACT An efficient synthesis of avibactam starting from commercially available ethyl-5-hydroxypicolinate was completed in ten steps and 23.9% overall yield. The synthesis features a novel lipase-catalyzed resolution, in the preparation of (2S,5S)-5-hydroxypiperidine-2-carboxylate acid, which are valuable precusors of the key intermediate ethyl (2S,5R)- 5-((benzyloxy)amino) piperidine-2-carboxylate. An optimized one-pot debenzylation / sulfation reaction, followed by cation exchange, gave the avibactam sodium salt on a 400.0 gram scale.

INTRODUCTION Avibactam (1, Figure 1), sodium (2S,5R)-2-carbamoyl-7-oxo-1,6-diazabicyclo [3.2.1]octan-6-yl
sulfonate,
containing
a
diazabicyclo[3.2.1]octane
(DBO)
heterocyclic core structure, is a novel diazabicyclooctane non-β-lactama β-lactamase inhibitor
1-4
. It has a unique mechanism of inhibition among β-lactamase inhibitors,
which is able to bind reversibly and covalently to β-lactamase
2,5
. As a new drug
featured with bacterial resistance, avibactam has been widely used in clinic and its combination with Ceftazidime (Zavicefta) has recently been approved by EMA and FDA for treatment of complicated intra-abdominal infectious (CIAI), complicated urinary tract infectious (CUTI), hospital acquired pneumonia (HAP) and etc
6,7
.
Moreover, compared with the three known β-lactamase inhibitors named clavulanic acid, sulbactam and tazobactam, the efficiency of avibactam is stronger and its spectrum is also broader: avibactam is active against class A including Class A Klebsiella pneumoniae carbapenemase (KPCs) and ESBLs, class C, and some class D β-lactamases 8,9 .
Figure 1 The Structure of Avibactam Sodium (1)
In the past decades, antibiotics containing highly active β-lactam ring systems, such as Penicillium, Cephalosporins and others, have been widely used to treat bacterial infections in worldwide. Resistance to the β-lactam antibacterials is an increasing serious problem, as is the case for all antibacterials 10,11. Avibactam alone has no useful intrinsic antibacterial activity, but its combination with antibiotics can be used to avoid bacterial resistance and enhance the effect 5, 12, 13. The concept of avibactam has its origins in research from Hoechst Marion 4

Roussel, who proposed that DBO might act to acylate nucleophilic enzymes in a manner analogous to β-lactams 14. It has been proved that avibactam has excellent antibacterial activity and plays an irreplaceable role in the treatment of infection with drug-resistant bacteria. Substantial effort has been devoted to the preparation of avibactam 14-26 (Scheme 1). Initially, the Aventis infection division in Romainville (France) disclosed route A for its synthesis in the early stage of drug discovered 17, 19. In this process, double-chiral piperidine derivatives were used as starting material to provide avibactam via inversion
of
configuration,
deprotection,
urea-cyclization,
deprotection
and
sulfonation with about 9.0 % total yields. Miller S·P etal also prepared avibactam based on route A 23. This route suffers from a long synthetic procedure, low yield, and heavy laborious workups. Besides, the raw materials (double-chiral piperidine derivatives) is expensive and a number of environmentally undesirable reagents and solvents are required in this route. The Wockhardt developed route B to obtain avibactam from L-glutamate acid or L-pyroglutamic acid 18. In this route , the skeleton of the target molecular diazabicyclo[3.2.1]octane heterocyclic core structure (DBO) was constructed through the steps of ring-opening, ring-closing, deoxygenization, and then by deprotection, sulfonation and other steps to obtain avibactam with total yield of about 11.0%. This method, producing small scale avibactam in a single batch, has some drawbacks limiting the large-scale synthesis: (a) a long synthetic procedure, (b) complicated purification process , (c) the employment of excessive environmentally unfriendly reagents such as diphosgene. Recently, AstraZeneca and Forest Laboratories
have
optimized
the
process:
from
commercially
available
Boc-benzylglutamate in only 5 isolated steps with an overall yield of 35.0 %( without including the construction of DBO) 26. Another route is based on the olefin metathesis reaction to construct DBO skeleton 24 (Route C). However, the decomposition of olefins generally leads to lower yield, substrate instability, the need for chiral ligand participation , less stereoselectivity and other issues. These methods mentioned above are usually restrictive, and difficult to implement industrial production.

Scheme 2. Our Route to Synthesize Avibactam
New approach to 7 from 2. In our new route (route D), an efficient synthesis of intermediate 7 is crucial to the viability
of
the
project.
Starting
from
commercially
available
ethyl-5-hydroxypicolinate (2) (Scheme 3), compound 3 was obtained with a stereoisomer ratio of 97 : 3 (cis / trans) through the catalytic hydrogenation reaction. Without further purification, the crude 3 underwent the lipase (Lipozyme CALB 21
)-catalyzed resolution to successfully give compound 4 as a single enantiomer with
d.r. ≥ 99 : 1, along with a small amount of the side-product 4' 15b. Subsequently, a mixture of (Boc)2O and TEA was added dropwise to the aqueous solution of 4 and 4’ and the mixture was stirred at room temperature for 18 hours to give (2S,5S)-1-tert-butyl-2-ethyl-5-hydroxy-piperidine-1,2-dicarboxy-late by-product 5'

and

. Compound5' is water-soluble and was removed by liquid
separation so that pure product 5 was easily obtained. Chemical catalytic methods to prepare 5 directly from compound 3 were also tried, but the stereoselectivity is relatively poor (d.r. ≈ 1 : 1). Overall, compound 5 was obtained using relatively environmental friendly methods and the total yield for the above three steps is up to 42.9%. Next, compound 5 was dissolved in CH3CN and stirred at -30 oC for 30 min. 2,6-Dimethylpyridine and trifluoromethanesulfonic anhydride were successively added to the reaction solution followed by the addition of a solution of NH2OBn in 2,6-dimethylpyridine. The mixture was stirred at room temperature for 12 hours to give compound 6. The key intermediate 7 was afforded by removing the protecting 7

New approach to obtain 10 from 7. An efficient synthesis of pure compound 7 offered new approaches to the synthesis of 10, avoiding the selective hydrolysis of the trans benzyl ester of 8 (Scheme 4). At first, we tried a synthetic route including the urea-unit formation (7 to 8) and the ester to amide conversion (8 to 10). However, the yield was always low for each step. So an alternative strategy was used by reversing the sequence of reaction steps, that is, amide formation first followed by the formation of urea-subunit. Fortunately, when compound 7 was subjected to a solution of NH3 / MeOH/toluene, the amide 9 was obtained with 96.5% yield. Much efforts were devoted to introduce the fragile urea bond in compound 10 (Scheme 4). Initially, we tried the direct urea-unit formation using triphosgene,
but
proved to be unsuccessful. Use of alternative phosgenating agents (such as CDI and various chloroformates) also failed, but these experiments clearly revealed that the two nitrogens in the molecule can be selectivily reacted, which are consistent with report by Matthew Ball et al
26
). Inspired by earlier reports[16,18-20,23,25,26], we
predict that the introduction of Boc or FMOC protecting groups on the nitrogen might 8

favor the formation of 10 directly from 9. Due to the much milder deprotection conditions required to remove the FMOC group , the FMOC approach was selected for further studies. Solvent had a significant effect on the outcome of the reaction. Many solvents were screened and chlorobenzene was found to be suitable and facilitate the operable processing. Under the optimized reaction conditions, compound 10 with high quality was successfully prepared with 89% yield. The total yield for the preparation of 10 starting from compound 7 is up to 90%.

Synthesis of 13 by one pot Deprotection and Sulfation Significant progress has been made in optimizing the process to synthesize 13 from 10 (scheme 5). Typically, the simultaneous catalytical deprotection of the Bn group with Pd/C as catalyst and sulfation gave the intermediate 12. Without further purification, compound 12 were subjected to a cation exchange reaction to give compound 13. It is worth noting that nucleophilic

Another advantage of the transformation is that a more environmentally friendly water/isopropyl alcohol (1 : 1) system was used to replace other organic solvents. Thus, an efficient synthesis of avibactam was completed in ten steps and 23.9% overall yield.

CONCLUSION In summary, we have developed an alternative scalable process for the synthesis of avibactam (1) from commercial available and affordable ethyl 5-hydroxypicolinate(2), validated on a 400.0 g scale. The lipase-catalyzed resolution (Lipozyme CALB) was used to construct the two chiral carbon centers and excellent stereoselectivity was achieved. The efficiency and operability of the formation of the urea-unit of avibactam (1) was greatly improved by introduction of a protecting group strategy. Moreover, the simultaneous debenzylation-sulfation in a one-pot has reduced cost and improved efficiency. Lastly, we chose environmental friendly solvents and reagents, and increased the process efficiency by reducing extractions and easy of purification operation.
EXPERIMENTAL SECTION General. Unless otherwise mentioned, all commercial reagents and solvents were used directly as purchased. Flash chromatography was performed on silica gel with petroleum ether/ethyl acetate or dichloromethane/methanol as the eluent. Melting points were uncorrected. Optical rotations were measured with a sodium lamp. NMR

Chemical shifts (δ) are reported in parts per million and referenced to the residual solvent peak, and J values are given in hertz (Hz). Preparation of ethyl 5-hydroxypiperidine-2-carboxylate (3) Rh/C (25.0 g, 10%) was added to a mixture of ethyl-5-hydroxypicolinate (2) (250.0 g, 1.496 mol) and ethanol (1500.0 mL) in a vessel. The reaction mixture was stirred under the atmosphere of hydrogen (200.0 psi) at room temperature for 12h until completion of the reaction (by TLC analysis). Then, the mixture was filtered and the solvent was removed under reduced pressure to obtain the crude ethyl 5-hydroxypiperidine-2-carboxylate (3) (253.0 g). The crude 3 was directly used in the next step without further purification. Preparation of ethyl (2S, 5S)-5-hydroxypiperidine-2-carboxylate (4) The crude 3 (253.0 g, 1.460 mol) was dissolved in a potassium phosphate buffer solution (8.53 L, 0.1 M, pH = 8). The pH of the solution was adjusted to 7.5 with dipotassium hydrogen phosphate followed by the addition of Lipozyme CALB (253.0 g, 5000 LU/g ) . The reaction mixture was stirred at room temperature for 12 h until completion of the reaction (by TLC analysis). The aqueous solution of 4 (8.53 L) was obtained by filtration and directly used for the next step. Preparation of (2S, 5S)-1-tert-butyl-2-ethyl-5-hydroxypiperidine-1,2-dicarboxylate (5) Triethylamine (407 mL, 2.92 mol) was added to a mixture of the aqueous solution of 4 (8.53 L)
and THF (8 L) at room temperature. Then (Boc)2O (101.0 g, 1.752 mol)
was added dropwise to the mixture at 0 oC. The reaction mixture was stirred at room temperature for 18 h until completion of the reaction (by TLC analysis). Then, the reaction mixture was extracted three times with ethyl acetate (3 L × 3). The by-product 5' is water-soluble and remained in the aqueous solution. The combined organic layers were dried over anhydrous MgSO4. Evaporation of the solvent under vacuum, followed by flash column chromatography on silica gel (petroleum ether/ethyl acetate = 4/1), gave the corresponding product 5, as a pale yellow liquid 11
