Synthesis of 6-[bis(tert-butoxycarbonyl)amino]-5-[(1R)-1-(2,6-dichloro-3-fluoro-phenyl)ethoxy]pyridazine-3-carboxylic acid (B)


Synthesis of 6-[bis(tert-butoxycarbonyl)amino]-5-[(1S)-1-(2,6-dichloro-3-fluoro-phenyl)ethoxy]pyridazine-3-carboxylic acid (C)

Step 1: To a solution of A5 (41.8 g, 200 mmol) in 1,2-dichloroethane (800 mL) was added Boc-L-Pro (26.9 g, 125 mmol) followed by EDCI (31.1 g, 163 mmol) and DMAP (4.12 g, 33.8 mmol) at 0° C. The resulting mixture was stirred at r.t. overnight and then water (350 mL) was added and separated, the water phase was extracted with DCM(150 mL×3), dried over MgSO 4, concentrated and purified by column chromatography to (PE:EA=30:1) to give C1 (13.72 g, yield: 65.6%). |
Step 2: The procedure from C1 to C was similar to that of B1 to B (9.46 g, yield: 26.4% from C1). |

Medical uses
Ensartinib is indicated for the treatment of adults with anaplastic lymphoma kinase (ALK)-positive locally advanced or metastatic non-small cell lung cancer who have not previously received an ALK-inhibitor.[1][2]
History
Efficacy was evaluated in eXALT3 (NCT02767804), an open-label, randomized, active-controlled, multicenter trial in 290 participants with locally advanced or metastatic ALK-positive non-small cell lung cancer who had not previously received an ALK-targeted therapy.[2] Participants were randomized 1:1 to receive ensartinib or crizotinib.[2]
