Process development and the multikilogram synthesis of a novel azetidinyl ketolide antibiotic is described. Starting with clarithromycin, the eight-step synthesis features several telescoped operations and direct isolations, which results in a significant improvement in throughput and a major reduction in solvent usage and waste stream volume over the first scale-up campaign. Particular highlights of this effort include the development of an efficient synthesis of 3-hydroxy-1,5-naphthyridine-4-carbaldehyde via a Skraup process and engineering a robust final API synthesis. We also discovered a crystalline monotosylate salt that addressed significant formulation and degradation issues experienced when using the noncrystalline freebase.
