Abstract
The process development of a nicotine analog or hapten (1) for conjugation to a protein as an antigen is described. The original process in early development used an Ir-catalyzed borylation reaction to enable rapid derivatization of nicotine with the desired regiocontrol. While the process was very efficient, it required chromatography to meet purity targets. A related process was later developed that possessed crystalline intermediates to better control levels of process-related impurities and heavy metals in 1. This control strategy for 1 was essential due to the strict purity requirements for conjugation of 1 when forming an antigen. In addition, the Ir-catalyzed borylation was studied to enable robust manufacture via this methodology which led to an efficient process for the preparation of 1.
