Description

Novel method for preparing 16 a-hydroxy prednisolone
Technical Field
The invention belongs to a preparation process technology of a steroid hormone drug intermediate, and particularly relates to a production process technology for synthesizing 16 a-hydroxy prednisolone by taking prednisolone acetate as a raw material.
Background
17 a-prednisolone dehydroxyacetate (molecular formula C)23H26O6) The chemical name of the compound is 11b, 21-dihydroxypregna-1, 4, 16-triene-3, 20-diketone-21-acetate, which is a key intermediate for producing the deflazacort and nede steroid adrenocortical hormone medicaments, and the deflazacort can be synthesized by 3 steps of reaction by taking the deflazacort as a raw material, and the desonide and the budesonide can be prepared by 3 steps of reaction. Deflazacort is a third-generation steroid glucocorticoid medicine, is mainly used for clinically treating primary and secondary renal epithelial hypofunction, rheumatism, collagenous diseases, skin diseases, explosive and disseminated tuberculosis, diseases of a hematopoietic system, ulcerative colitis, nausea and tumors of the hematopoietic system and other diseases, and has low side effect and good effect; the nednide steroid adrenocortical hormone medicine is a strong local anti-inflammatory agent, such as budesonide, which is mainly used for clinically treating various diseases such as rhinitis, acute bronchitis and chronic bronchitis, and has low side effect and good effect, so the 17 a-prednisolone dehydroxyacetate is developed and produced, and the market prospect is wide. 1The traditional production method of 7 a-dehydroxyacetic acid prednisone is characterized by using prednisolone acetate as raw material and making it undergo the processes of 17-position esterification and 17-position ester elimination reaction so as to obtain the invented product. The method for synthesizing the 17 a-dehydroxyacetic acid prednisolone has low total synthesis yield and is mainly caused by the following steps: on one hand, when 17-position hydroxyl is esterified by acetic anhydride, 11-position hydroxyl in molecules can be partially esterified to generate an impurity with the 11-position hydroxyl esterified, so that the purification is difficult, and the reaction yield of the esterification step is low; on the other hand, the second step 17 a-prednisolone acetate-17-acetate, when the elimination reaction is carried out at high temperature by the catalysis of a base such as sodium hydroxide or lithium carbonate, causes the elimination reaction in which the hydroxyl group at the 11-position in the molecule is also dehydrated to form two impurities, which are also difficult to remove, resulting in a low yield of the second elimination reaction. Therefore, the production cost of the 17 a-dehydroxyacetic acid prednisolone is very high, so that the production cost of deflazacort and budesonide drugs is also high, the market price of the deflazacort and budesonide drugs is greatly increased, and the medication cost of patients in treatment is greatly increased.
