Background technology
Tolvaptan is the non-peptide class of a kind of oral selectivity Novel arginine vassopressin V by the exploitation of Japan large tomb company
2Receptor antagonist.FDA approval listing in 2009 is used for the treatment of recycle system Q volume of blood normally or the hyponatremia (blood sodium<125mg/L, perhaps symptom is slight) of Hypervolemia, 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, as 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 in 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 with platinum dioxide catalytic reduction carbonyl high cost, and multistep relates to column chromatography purification, is unsuitable for suitability for industrialized production.In addition, due to starting raw material 7-chloro-1,2,3,4-tetrahydro benzo azepine
-5-ketone price is relatively high, and itself and 2-methyl cheap and easy to get-4-nitrobenzoyl chloride condensation are prepared end product through the reactions of four step yields lower (30%~50%), causes the tolvaptan cost to increase.
Alejandro Cordero-Vargas etc. are at Bioorg Med Chem, 2006,14 (18): the synthetic method that discloses another kind of tolvaptan in 6165-6173, take 4-chloroacetophenone base xanthate as 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 technique 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 in 6455-6458, route is as follows:
This route raw material is easy to get, step is short, although yield can reach 75%, but the palladium and the triphenylphosphine that relate in reaction are difficult to remove, cause product to need column chromatography purification, and introduce carboxyl with carbon monoxide, although have feasibility in operation, but performance difficulty is not adopted in production usually.
Therefore, the novel process of the tolvaptan of a kind of real adaptation suitability for industrialized production of exploitation is of crucial importance.
