Background technology
Tolvaptan is the novel arginine vasopressin V of the non-peptide class of a kind of oral selectivity by the exploitation of Japan big tomb company
2Receptor antagonist.FDA in 2009 approval listing is used for the treatment of the hyponatremia (blood sodium<125mg/L, perhaps symptom is slight) of the normal or Hypervolemia of recycle system Q volume of blood, comprises the patient of heart failure, liver cirrhosis and syndrome of inapropriate ADH.Its chemistry N-[4-[(7-chloro-2,3,4 by name, 5-tetrahydrochysene-5-hydroxyl-1H-1-benzo-aza
-1-yl) carbonyl]-the 3-aminomethyl phenyl]-the 2-methyl benzamide, shown in structural formula 1:
Structural formula 1
At present, the preparation technology of tolvaptan has following several:
Kazumi Kondo etc. have reported a kind of preparation technology of tolvaptan at Bioorg Med Chem 1999 among the 7:1743-1754, it is with 7-chloro-1,2,3,4-tetrahydro benzo azepine
-5-ketone is starting raw material, through with 2-methyl-4-nitrobenzoyl chloride acidylate, nitroreduction, with 2-methyl benzoyl chloride acidylate, restore carbonyl and become hydroxyl to obtain target product.Route is as follows:
This route is too high with platinum dioxide catalytic reduction carbonyl cost, and multistep relates to column chromatography purification, is unsuitable for suitability for industrialized production.In addition, since starting raw material 7-chloro-1,2,3,4-tetrahydro benzo azepine
-5-ketone price is higher relatively, through the prepared in reaction end product of four step yields lower (30%~50%), causes the tolvaptan cost to increase itself and 2-methyl-4-nitrobenzoyl chloride condensation cheap and easy to get.
Alejandro Cordero-Vargas etc. are at Bioorg Med Chem, 2006,14 (18): the synthetic method that discloses another kind of tolvaptan among the 6165-6173, with 4-chloroacetophenone base xanthate is starting raw material, after elder generation and the addition of vinyl pivaloyl chloride, obtain 5-pivaloyl oxygen base-7-chloro-1,2 through cyclization, oximate, rearrangement, the reduction of two steps, 3,4-tetrahydro benzo azepine
Again through with 2-methyl-4-nitrobenzoyl chloride acidylate, reduction, obtain target product with 2-methyl benzoyl chloride acidylate, hydrolysis.Route is as follows:
This route starting raw material market supply is minimum, and technology is loaded down with trivial details, and the production cycle is long, and yield is low, is unsuitable for suitability for industrialized production.
Yasuhiro Torisawa etc. are at Bioorg Med Chem, and 2007,17 (23): reported the method for synthetic tolvaptan under palladium catalysis among the 6455-6458, route is as follows:
This route raw material is easy to get, step is short, though yield can reach 75%, but the palladium and the triphenylphosphine that relate in the reaction are difficult to remove, cause product to need column chromatography purification, and introduce carboxyl, though have feasibility in the operation with carbon monoxide, but performance difficulty is not adopted in the production usually.
Therefore, it is of crucial importance to develop a kind of novel process of tolvaptan of real adaptation suitability for industrialized production.
