Description

Method for synthesizing beraprost
Technical Field
The field belongs to the field of compound preparation, and particularly relates to a synthetic method of beraprost.
Technical Field
Beraprost sodium (trade name Dorner) belongs to prostacyclin derivatives, and is an antiplatelet drug developed by Toray, eastern corporation of japan. Beraprost (Beraprost) was approved in japan as a drug for chronic arterial occlusion in 1992 and is marketed in japan. Beraprost in the form of racemate has been approved by FDA in the united states for the treatment of Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension (PAH) into phase ii clinical, and beraprost sodium sustained-release tablets (carreoad LA) of eastern corporation (Toray) and anstai corporation (Astellas, formerly Yamanouchi) were approved in japan for the treatment of PAH as the 1 st sustained-release agent in prostacyclin-based drugs in 2007.
Figure BDA0002285843600000011
The synthesis process of the beraprost bulk drug relates to 9-10 steps of synthesis steps, and the total yield is less than 1%. Particularly, beraprost has 6 chiral centers, the research and control of chiral impurities have great difficulty, and only raw material medicines imported from Japan and Hungary are in China due to high research technical barriers, so that no enterprise is produced in China. Therefore, the research and development of the effective preparation method of the beraprost and the intermediate thereof have very important significance and value.
Patents EP463162a1, US5202447 and the literature heterocyles, 2000,53,1085-; tetrahedron,1999,55,2449-2474 reported synthetic methods for the preparation of beraprost and its intermediates, the synthetic route is shown in scheme 1. The method takes an intermediate I (3a,8 b-cis-dihydro-3H-5, 7-dibromocyclopentadien [ b ] benzofuran) as a raw material, primary hydroxyl groups are protected by trityl or tert-butyldimethylsilane, secondary hydroxyl acetyl groups are protected by secondary hydroxyl groups, trityl protection is removed by HCl/MeOH, and the intermediate II is obtained by three-step continuous reaction. And (3) carrying out oxidation and Witting reactions on the intermediate II to obtain an intermediate III, and carrying out reduction, resolution and deprotection to obtain an intermediate IV. Finally, hydrolyzing the ester group of the intermediate IV to obtain the beraprost.
Figure BDA0002285843600000021
The synthetic route has the following defects: the synthetic route involves multiple operations of protecting group application and protecting group removal, and the operation is complicated. The process produces a large amount of waste liquid, for example, acetyl needs to be removed after reduction, and acetic acid is used for quenching after the reaction is finished to produce more acetate waste. DCC (dicyclohexylcarbodiimide) used in the oxidation reaction is highly toxic, and a urea derivative produced as a by-product of the reaction is difficult to remove from the system. In addition, the total yield is low, and the production cost is high.
Patent CN100347265C reports another way to synthesize beraprost sodium, as shown in the way 2, the way uses intermediate I as the starting material, protects hydroxyl group by triethylchlorosilane, selectively oxidizes primary hydroxyl group by Swern oxidation under oxalyl chloride and DMSO, then makes Witting reaction with side chain, removes hydroxyl protecting group under the action of concentrated hydrochloric acid, reduces carbonyl group under the action of diisobutylaluminum hydride (DIBAH) and 2, 6-di-tert-butyl-p-cresol (BHT), hydrolyzes under alkaline environment, and gets beraprost.
Figure BDA0002285843600000031
The reaction route has the following disadvantages: the protecting group on the secondary hydroxyl is removed before reduction, and the two steps of reactions of Swern oxidation and reduction need ultralow temperature reaction at-60 to-80 ℃. Diisobutylaluminum hydride (DIBAH) is used in the reduction step, and the reagent reacts violently in water to generate flammable and explosive hydrogen and isobutane, so that great potential safety hazard exists. In addition, the route involves anhydrous and anaerobic operation in many places, and the requirement on equipment conditions is high. The industrial production is difficult to realize.
