Abstract:
A method for producing a (2-methylpyrimidin-5-yl)boronic acid derivative (3) includes the step of decarboxylating a 5-bromopyrimidine derivative (1) to synthesize 5-bromo-2-methylpyrimidine (2). The method enables efficient production of 5-bromo-2-methylpyrimidine (2) with less environmental impact, leading to efficient production of (2-methylpyrimidin-5-yl)boronic acid derivative (3) which is useful as a pharmaceutical intermediate.
Abstract:
A tri-carbobenzoxy-arginine represented by the following formula (2): is produced by carbobenzoxylating the arginine or arginine derivative (1) represented by the following formula (1), or a salt thereof: by adding carbobenzoxy chloride and a base in a water/organic solvent bilayer system to an arginine or arginine derivative (1) represented by the formula (1), or a salt thereof.
Abstract:
The present invention provides a simple industrial process for producing an L- or D-optically active α-methylcysteine derivative or its salt, which is a useful pharmaceutical intermediate, from readily available, inexpensive raw materials. In a process for producing an L- or D-optically active α-methylcysteine derivative or its salt, a racemic N-carbamoyl-α-methylcysteine derivative or its salt is D-selectively cyclized with hydantoinase to produce a D-5-methyl-5-thiomethylhydantoin derivative or its salt and an N-carbamoyl-α-methyl-L-cysteine derivative or its salt, which are then subjected to deprotection of the amino group and the sulfur atom, and hydrolysis.
