Analysis of the Key Intermediates for the Regioselectivity Control in the Methylation of the Manufacture of Clarithromycin by Reversed-Phase High Performance Liquid Chromatography

2',4'-O-Bis(trimethylsilyl)erythromycin A-9-O-(1-isopropoxycyclohexyl)oxime (2',4'-TMS-EMIPCH) and 2',4'-O-bis(trimethylsilyl)-6-O-methylerythromycin A-9-O-(1-isopropoxycyclohexyl)oxime (2',4"-TMS-IPCH) are the key intermediates for manufacturing clarithromycin. A qualitative and quantitative method for baseline separation of E- and Z-isomers and related process substances has been established. A DIKMA-Inertsil ODS-3 column (150 mm x 4.6 mm i.d., 5 microm) was used. The column temperature was maintained at 40 degrees C. The mobile phase was CH3CN-H2O (95:5, v/v). The flow rate was 1.5 mL/min and the detection wavelength was UV 205 nm. Good linearities for E-2',4'-TMS-EMIPCH and E-2',4'-TMS-IPCH were obtained in the ranges of 6-60 microg (r = 0.9994) and 6-72 microg (r = 0.9998), respectively. The method described has also been demonstrated to work equally well on other 2',4'-O-bis(trimethylsilyl)erythromycin 9-oxime hydroxyl derivatives, which provided the criterion for optimizing the protective groups at 9-oxime hydroxyl position and the study of regioselectivity of methylation at the 6-OH position.
