european patent EP0454436 discloses two processes for the preparation of olanzapine:
the method comprises the following steps:
the organic solvent used in the process may be anisole, toluene, dimethylformamide or methyl sulfoxide, and the reaction is preferably carried out at a temperature of from 100 to 150 ℃.
The second method comprises the following steps:
the starting material for this process is obtained from ethyl cyanoacetate through a series of laborious steps requiring special complex reaction conditions, reactants and reducing agents, and solvents with high boiling points that are difficult to remove, such as toluene, DMF, DMSO, etc.
Both of these methods have poor yields and generate a large amount of impurities, which require repeated crystallization to remove, which adversely affects the process efficiency.
PCT patent WO200400847 discloses a process for the preparation of olanzapine starting from N-demethylolanzapine, the reaction formula is as follows:
the reaction of N-demethylolanzapine with ethyl formate to prepare N-demethyl-N-formyl olanzapine, followed by reduction with sodium borohydride, has the disadvantages of low yield and poor product quality.
PCT patent WO2005090359 also discloses a process for the preparation of olanzapine starting from N-demethylolanzapine, of the formula:
the method is characterized in that virulent methyl iodide is used as a methylating agent, more impurities are generated, and a purification means is used for obtaining pure olanzapine, for example, olanzapine alkali is formed into a salt, and the salt is converted into the pure olanzapine, so that the cost is increased and the yield is reduced.
