Two methods for the preparation of sitagliptin phosphate <i>via</i> chemical resolution and asymmetric hydrogenation

Abstract

-toluoyl-l-tartaric acid to resolve racemates in 11% yield overall. The route successfully avoids the use of expensive noble metal as catalysts compared with traditional synthesis methods, resulting in greatly reduced costs and simplified synthetic routes. Other alternative asymmetric hydrogenation of β-ketomide routes for the synthesis of sitagliptin were found, two of the intermediates were synthesized for the first time.
