AR-15512 (formerly known as AVX-012 and WS-12) is a TRPM8 receptor agonist currently in phase 2b clinical trials for the treatment of dry eye. This bioactive compound with menthol-like cooling activity has three stereogenic centers, and its final structure and absolute configuration, (1R,2S,5R), have been previously solved by cryo-electron microscopy. The route of synthesis of AR-15512 has also been reported, revealing that epimerization processes at the C-1 can occur at specific stages of the synthesis. In order to confirm that the desired configuration of AR-15512 does not change throughout the process and to discard the presence of the enantiomer in the final product due to possible contamination of the initial starting material, both the enantiomer of AR-15512 and the diastereomer at the C-1 were synthesized and fully characterized. In addition, the absolute configuration of the (1S,2S,5R)-diastereomer was determined by X-ray crystallographic analysis, and new HPLC methods were designed and developed for the identification of the two stereoisomers and their comparison with the clinical candidate AR-15512.

Paragraph 0007; 0048-0051, (2020/07/21)
The invention discloses an ester ammonolysis reaction catalyst composition and a preparation method of L-menthane carboxamide. The ester ammonolysis reaction catalyst comprises a catalyst and a ligand, wherein the catalyst is cuprous salt CuX, the ligand is a (R)-N, N, N, N-tetraalkyl binaphthylamine compound shown as the specification, wherein R1, R2, R3 and R4 are independently selected from thegroups shown as the specification. Menthyl chloride is used as the starting raw material in the method to react with metal magnesium to prepare menthyl magnesium chloride, then reaction with chloroformate with different substituent groups is carried out to obtain menthyl formate, and then ammonolysis under the catalysis of an ester ammonolysis catalyst composition is conducted to obtain the L-menthane carboxamide. The yield is improved, the production cost is reduced, the optical purity is high, and environmental protection and no wastewater discharge are realized.

Menthyl Grignard reagent 1 from either menthyl chloride (2) or neomenthyl chloride (3) consists of menthylmagnesium chloride (1a), neomenthylmagnesium chloride (1b), trans-p-menthane (4), 2-menthene (8), 3-menthene (9), and Wurtz coupling products including symmetrical bimenthyl 13. The diastereomeric ratio 1a/1b was determined in situ by 13C NMR or after D2O quenching by 2H NMR analysis. Hydrolysis of the C-Mg bond proceeds with retention of configuration at C-1. The kinetic ratio 1a/1b from Grignard reagent generation (dr 59:41 at 50 °C in THF) is close to the thermodynamic ratio (56:44 at 50 °C in THF). Carboxylation of 1 at -78 °C separates diastereomers 1a/b to give the anion of menthanecarboxylic acid (19) from 1a, which combines with unreactive 1b to give neomenthylmagnesium menthanecarboxylate (1bI). The kinetics of epimerization for the menthyl/neomenthylmagnesium system was analyzed (ΔH? = 98.5 kJ/mol, ΔS? = -113 J/mol·K for 1bI → 1aI). Reactions of 1 with phosphorus electrophiles proceed stereoconvergently at C-1 of 1a/b to give predominantly menthyl-configured substitution products: PCl3 and 2 equiv of 1 give Men2PCl (6), which hydrolyzes to dimenthylphosphine P-oxide (7), whereas Ph2PCl with 1 equiv of 1 gave P-menthyldiphenylphosphine oxide (27) after workup in air.
