Background
Dofetilide (formula I) is a new highly selective class III antiarrhythmic drug that can be administered intravenously or orally, with the chemical name N- [4- (2- {2- [4- (methanesulfonamido) phenoxy ] -N-methylethylamino } ethyl) phenyl ] -methanesulfonamide, and its molecular structure is as follows:
dofetilide is a methane sulfonamide derivative structurally similar to the antiarrhythmic drug sotalol. The pharmacological action mechanism is through inhibiting rapid potassium current (Ik)r) Increase action potential duration (QT interval) and exert the effect of III antiarrhythmic drugs. Approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in 1999 and first marketed in the united states in 5 months in 2000. Big (a)Clinical studies show that dofetilide can be used for treating and preventing atrial dysrhythmia and paroxysmal supraventricular tachycardia, and the curative effect on the repeated newly occurred atrial fibrillation and atrial flutter is better than that of other antiarrhythmic drugs. And can be used for preventing ventricular tachycardia and relieving heart failure. Has the advantages of obvious curative effect, relatively small adverse reaction and the like, and is an antiarrhythmic drug with strong effect and good selectivity.
At present, many documents disclose methods for preparing dofetilide. The existing reported synthetic route of dofetilide can be mainly divided into two routes according to different starting materials: one route is to prepare dofetilide by taking N-methyl-2- (4-nitrophenyl) ethylamine as a starting material through condensation, reduction and mesylation reactions (U.S. Pat. No. 4,989,366,CN 1019801, J.Med. chem.,1990,33(4): 1151-; the other route is to prepare the dofetilide by taking 2- (4-nitrophenyl) ethylamine as a starting material and carrying out condensation, methylation, reduction and mesylation reactions (EP0245997, CN1019801 and the like). In both routes, the reduction reaction of N-methyl-N- [2- (4-nitrophenoxy) ethyl ] -4-nitrophenylethylamine (formula III) is involved to generate a key intermediate N-methyl-N- [2- (4-aminophenoxy) ethyl ] -4-aminophenylethylamine (formula II), and the compound of the formula II is subjected to mesylation to generate the target compound dofetilide.
CN1146537, journal of the university of Jinan (Nature science edition), Jun.2005, Vol.19, No.2, Qilu Pharmaceutical affars, 2005, Vol.24, No.9 and other documents report the reduction reaction of N-methyl-N- [2- (4-nitrophenoxy) ethyl ] -4-nitrophenylethylamine. Although the yield is high, experiments prove that the purity of the obtained product is very poor, the maximum purity is only about 84%, the obtained product continuously participates in the preparation of finished products, the purification cost of the finished products is greatly increased, the reaction time of the step is long, and the raw materials can be completely reacted within at least 16 hours.
In the method disclosed in patent CN1146537, a large amount of toluene is used for the post-treatment, which is harmful to human body and environment. If the method is used for enlarging the production scale, a large amount of material waste and production cost increase are caused, and the method is not suitable for industrial mass production.
The reduction reaction of N-methyl-N- [2- (4-nitrophenoxy) ethyl ] -4-nitrophenylethylamine is reported in the literatures of Chinese medicine Journal of Pharmaceuticals 2003,34(4), CN1453267A, CN87103300A, J.Med.chem.,1990,33(4):1151-1155, etc., and the post-treatment in the literatures adopts recrystallization for purification. However, experiments prove that although the recrystallization mode in the literature can improve the purity of the product, the purification effect is not obvious, the highest purity can reach about 92%, and the intermediate with the purity is not beneficial to the preparation of the finished product and can increase the difficulty of the purification of the finished product. In addition, the reduction reaction time in the literature is long, at least more than 16 hours, and the time cost is undoubtedly increased for the industrial mass production.
Therefore, a preparation method of the dofetilide intermediate which has high product purity, is economical, environment-friendly and safe and is suitable for industrial mass production needs to be explored.
