, (2017/08/21)
Disclosed is an improved method of synthesis for Treprostinil comprising condensation reaction of compound (4) with a hydroxyl-protected alkynol (5) to give the condensation product, compound (6). Subjecting compound (6) to oxidation, reduction, hydroxyl protection and carbonylation, cyclization reactions gives the tricyclic derivative (10). Further reactions comprising reduction, hydrogenation and deprotection of the phenolic and side-chain hydroxyl groups, wherein the sequence and choice of reagents is governed by protecting groups, give the triol intermediate, compound (14). Cyanoalkylation at phenolic hydroxyl functionality and further hydrolysis yields the prostacyclin compound, Treprostinil (1) and its pharmaceutically acceptable salts with desired purity.
