Background
Olanzapine (Olanzapine) was the first atypical antipsychotic approved for the treatment of acute bipolar mania, first approved in 1996 year in the united states, originally developed as a gift company and approved for import in 1998 in china. Olanzapine belongs to the group of thiophenebenzodiazepines
The derivative is a dual antagonist of 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT) and Dopamine (DA) receptors.
Compared with the traditional antipsychotic drugs such as clozapine and the like, olanzapine has the advantages of quick response, better curative effect, good safety and tolerance and the like, and has good treatment effect on the negative symptoms of schizophrenia. For example, Wangyoming and Liu (Chinese medicine, 2016,11(20): 279-281) and the research progress of olanzapine for non-schizophrenia treatment and adverse reaction in China; liu zhaopeng, "preparation and quality control of olanzapine bulk drug", [ university of great studios, 2012, master thesis ]; the patent reports of the channel of the formula of tremulin, the preparation process of olanzapine and the quality control research thereof are published in the articles of university of great graduate, 2011, Master thesis and the like.
The key intermediate for preparing olanzapine is to select 2- (2-nitrophenylamino) -5-methylthiophene-3-nitrile as a raw material, reduce the raw material to obtain 2- (2-aminophenylamino) -5-methylthiophene-3-nitrile (I), and then cyclize the 2- (2-aminophenylamino) -5-methylthiophene-3-nitrile to obtain 4-amino-2-methyl-10H-thieno [2,3-b ]][1,5]-benzodiazepines

The chemical synthetic preparation method of the intermediates I and II of olanzapine described above has the following problems:
the method adopting the stannous chloride reducing agent comprises the following steps: stannous chloride is expensive, and a complex which is difficult to separate is easily formed between residual trace stannous chloride and the intermediate II, so that the purity of the intermediate II is influenced.
An iron powder reduction method is adopted: because a large amount of iron powder is used as a reducing agent, a large amount of iron mud is generated, and the environmental pollution is serious: the iron mud has strong environmental destruction by adsorbing the aniline compound I.
Adopting a hydrazine hydrate reduction method: hydrazine hydrate is highly toxic (carcinogenic toxicity); the residual hydrazine hydrate has strong destructiveness to the environment and is difficult to separate, and the hydrazine hydrate has genotoxicity; trace amounts of hydrazine hydrate seriously affect the quality of intermediate I and olanzapine product.
A catalytic hydrogenation method is adopted: the nickel and palladium catalysts form a complex which is difficult to separate with the intermediate I or II, and the purity of the intermediate and the excess of heavy metals in the olanzapine product are influenced.
