Synthesis method of intermediate of balusavir mefene
Technical Field
The invention relates to a synthesis method of a medical intermediate, in particular to a newly discovered method for 'one-pot autocatalytic cycle' reaction and preparation of a balosulfamate intermediate.
Background
Influenza is an acute respiratory infectious disease caused by influenza virus, and the world health organization predicts about 300 to 500 ten thousand influenza cases per year, causing about 25 to 50 ten thousand deaths. Barrosavirtup ester is a novel anti-influenza drug developed by salt Yeyi company, is approved to be marketed in Japan in 2018, 2 and 23 months, and is used for treating influenza A and B of adults and children. Barrosavirtup is the first anti-influenza drug with a novel action mechanism in recent 20 years, and transcription and replication of the influenza virus are inhibited by inhibiting cap-dependent endonuclease of the influenza virus. The action mechanism of the existing anti-influenza drugs is to prevent the virus from spreading in vivo by targeting Neuraminidase (Neuraminidase). Compared with the medicines, the Barrosavirtude targeting acts on the earlier stage of the virus replication cycle, and the effect is quicker. The balusavir acetate is used as a new generation anti-influenza drug and has great research and development significance and market prospect.
At present, the synthesis method of the balosulfamate is mainly formed by connecting an upper fragment and a lower fragment of a compound parent nucleus structure.
Patent CN109311911A discloses a method for preparing the lower fragment intermediate 8-difluorodibenzo [ b, e ] thiaheptacyclo-11 (6H) -ol (i.e. compound 19 in the following scheme).
In the operation process of step 1 in CN109311911A, the diisopropylamine steam has large irritation to respiratory tract, eyes and skin; in addition, diisopropylamine is flammable and its vapors mixed with air can form explosive mixtures. In the step, 2 times of low-temperature sensitive reactions are involved, and reagents, solvents and the like are strictly removed of water, so that diisopropylamine needs to be re-steamed, a large amount of steam is exposed, and potential hazards exist. In addition, the method also relates to the timing problem of adding the methanol, otherwise, byproducts and the like are generated, and the control in the production is not easy. This step is not suitable for industrial production. Step 2, using a reagent thiophenol which is malodorous and has extremely high toxicity when inhaled, and is listed in a list of controlled chemicals, namely highly toxic chemicals, the purchase and the use of which are limited, thereby putting higher requirements on the construction of production plants and being not suitable for commercial production.
CN109134428A discloses a method for synthesizing a lower fragment intermediate 8-difluorodibenzo [ b, e ] thiaheptacyclo-11 (6H) -alcohol.
In the route, 2-bromomethyl-3, 4-difluorophenylacetonitrile is used as a raw material, on one hand, cyano preparation relates to virulent tube products such as potassium cyanide and sodium cyanide, and on the other hand, the cyano preparation route by using amide is longer, and the raw material price is very high. In industrial production, the raw materials are difficult to obtain due to control and the cost is high.
CN109504721A discloses a method for preparing Barosavirenz ester, which comprises the following steps
In the method, the carboxyl is on a thiophenol ring, and Friedel-crafts reaction is difficult to perform with difluorobenzene, and the yield is difficult to control.
CN109721585A discloses 7, 8-difluoro-6, 11-dihydrodibenzo [ b, e]A method for preparing thiazepin-11-one, which comprises 4 steps of reaction. Firstly, 2, 3-difluoro-6-halogenated benzyl alcohol as an initial material undergoes nucleophilic substitution reaction to generate 2, 3-difluoro-6-halogenated benzyl halide, then undergoes nucleophilic substitution reaction with diphenyl disulfide in the presence of sodium borohydride and sodium hydroxide to generate 2, 3-difluoro-6-halogenated benzyl sulfide, and finally undergoes Grignard reaction to synthesize 3, 4-difluoro-2- ((phenylsulfanyl) methylBasic) benzoic acid, finally performing Friedel-crafts acylation reaction to obtain 7, 8-difluoro-6, 11-dihydrodibenzo [ b, e ]]Thiazepin-11-one. In the step 1, 40% hydrobromic acid is adopted for bromination reaction in the reaction, and the hydrobromic acid is strong in acid and strong in corrosivity, so that equipment is easily damaged, and the environmental protection problem needs to be paid attention to; phosphorus tribromide is adopted for bromination reaction in the step 3, so that the yield is low, and the Grignard reagent has high requirements on anhydrous and oxygen-free reaction and is not suitable for industrial production; in addition, a large amount of CO is used in the production2Special equipment is required. In addition, the total yield calculated according to the highest yield of the reaction in each step of the example is only 35.7%, the production cost is greatly increased, and the method is not suitable for industrial mass production.
In conclusion, the existing synthetic routes of fragment intermediates under the balosulfate are few, and the problems exist, so that a new synthetic method needs to be developed.
