Method for preparing celecoxib by one-pot method
Technical Field
The invention relates to a preparation method of celecoxib, and belongs to the technical field of medicines.
Background
Celecoxib, chemical name: 4- [5- (4-methylphenyl) -3- (trifluoromethyl) -1H-pyrazol-1-yl ] benzenesulfonamide; the structural formula is as follows. Celecoxib is a new-generation non-steroidal anti-inflammatory analgesic, and achieves the effects of resisting inflammation and relieving pain by selectively inhibiting cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) to inhibit the generation of prostaglandin. Since celecoxib does not inhibit cyclooxygenase-1 (COX-1), a physiological enzyme with gastrointestinal tract protection, the risk of gastrointestinal adverse reactions of the celecoxib is obviously lower than that of the traditional non-steroidal anti-inflammatory analgesics.
The celecoxib preparation method is mainly characterized by that p-methylacetophenone and trifluoroacetate are undergone the process of Claisen condensation to obtain β -diketone intermediate, then said intermediate and p-hydrazino benzenesulfonyl amine hydrochloride are cyclized to obtain celecoxib, and its chemical reaction formula is shown in the specification, for example, the preparation method of celecoxib reported in the document [ J Med Chem, 1997,40 (9): 1347-1365] adopts said method, and said method has the defects of low yield, long reaction time, and its impurity content is large, and its intermediate has no need of separation and purification, and has the complex steps of distillation, extraction, washing and drying, etc., and its recrystallization step and mixed solution are expensive and difficult to recover.
Chinese patent CN103570622A discloses a method for preparing celecoxib, which uses N, N-dimethylformamide as a solvent, wherein methyl acetophenone and ethyl trifluoroacetate react to generate a β -diketone intermediate under the action of sodium methoxide, and the intermediate reacts with p-hydrazino benzene sulfonamide hydrochloride in the N, N-dimethylformamide to form celecoxib, wherein the chemical equation is shown as follows.
