Process development of a six-stage synthesis of upadacitinib, a JAK1 inhibitor, is described. It is highlighted by an enantioselective and diastereoselective hydrogenation of a tetrasubstituted olefin to set the two pyrrolidine stereocenters. Preparation of the main fragments and strategies to link them together, optimization of the imidazole cyclization, and in-depth understanding of the formation of the urea moiety at the final stage are discussed.

Aspects of the present application relate to process for the preparation of Pyrrolidine derivatives useful as key intermediates for active ingredients. Specific aspects relate to alternate process for the preparation of Upadacitinib intermediate, 4-ethylpyrrolidine-3-carboxylic acid, its ester or a salt thereof. Processes disclosed here in are cost effective and industrially viable as compared to known processes.

Upadacitinib tartrate (ABT-494) is a potent and selective tyrosine-protein kinase JAK1 inhibitor being developed for the treatment of systemic autoimmune inflammatory diseases, including rheumatoid arthritis (RA), Crohn's disease, ulcerative colitis and psoriatic arthritis. In vitro, upadacitinib demonstrated higher selectivity for inhibiting JAK1 over JAK2 and JAK3, suggesting a potentially improved therapeutic profile in treating patients with inflammatory diseases compared to nonselective JAK inhibitors. Upadacitinib has demonstrated safety and efficacy in phase II trials in patients with RA and inflammatory bowel disease, and is currently in phase III development for these indications.
