3 β, 5-dihydroxyl-6 β, 7 β; The preparation method of 15 β, 16 β-dimethylene-5 β-androstane-17-ketone
Technical field
The present invention relates to a kind of preparation method of medicine intermediate, be specifically related to a kind of drospirenone intermediate 3 beta, 5-dihydroxy-6 β, 7 β; The preparation method of 15 β, 16 β-dimethylene-5 β-androstane-17-ketone.
Background technology
The chemical name of drospirenone (Drospirenone) is 6 β, 7 β; 15 β, 16 β-dimethylene-3-oxo-17 α-pregnant steroid-4-alkene-21,17-carboxylic lactone, it is a kind of efficient, low toxicity, the steroid contraceptive bian of new generation that has no side effect.
3 β, 5-dihydroxyl-6 β, 7 β; 15 β, 16 β-dimethylene-5 β-androstane-17-ketone is then the important intermediate preparing drospirenone.
Chinese patent literature CN102887934A discloses a kind of preparation method of drospirenone, and wherein namely the first step adopts 3 β, and 5-dihydroxyl-15 β, 16 β-methylene radical-5 β-androstane-6 alkene-17-ketone and methylene iodide are obtained by reacting 3 β, 5-dihydroxyl-6 β, 7 β, 15 β, 16 β-dimethylene-5 β-androstane-17-ketone, concrete grammar is: by the THF of 220 ~ 230mL, the cuprous chloride of 13 ~ 17g and the zinc powder of 58 ~ 62g add in reaction flask, be heated to 65 ~ 75 DEG C and keep back flow reaction 3 ~ 4h(namely to prepare Zn-Cu reagent), 3 β of 14.5 ~ 15.5g are added again after being cooled to room temperature, 5-dihydroxyl-15 β, 16 β-methylene radical-5 β-androstane-6 alkene-17-ketone, then in reactor, 63 ~ 65g methylene iodide is dripped, controlling rate of addition makes temperature of reaction maintain room temperature, methylene iodide dropwises rear insulation reaction to the completely dissolve of TLC detection display substrate point, drip 60 ~ 65g, mass concentration is the acetum of 33 ~ 36%, collect the solid of separating out, namely 3 β are obtained after drying, 5-dihydroxyl-6 β, 7 β, 15 β, 16 β-dimethylene-5 β-androstane-17-ketone, it is 90.34% that molar product yield is up to 86.5%(weight yield).The deficiency of the method is: (1) Zn-Cu reagent needs in situ preparation and uses as early as possible, and its activity affects comparatively large by zinc powder quality and preparation condition, and Zn-Cu reagent dosage is comparatively large, requires high to the stirring system of conversion unit.(2), after reaction terminates, have a large amount of unreacted Zn-Cu reagent and remain, and have zinc salt solid to produce, like this difficulty is caused to post-processing operation, product yield and purity on the low side.
In addition, american documentation literature US4435327A and Chinese patent literature CN101343306A all discloses the method for a kind of synthesis 6,7-methylene sterides, also namely 3 β are prepared by 3 β, 5-dihydroxyl-15 β, 16 β-methylene radical-5 β-androstane-6 alkene-17-ketone, 5-dihydroxyl-6 β, 7 β; The method of 15 β, 16 β-dimethylene-5 β-androstane-17-ketone, and all adopt Zn-Cu reagent as catalyzer.The methylene iodide that wherein american documentation literature US4435327A employing price is higher is as methylating reagent, and large usage quantity, cause cost higher, and molar yield only has 60.00%(weight yield to be 62.69%).Chinese patent literature CN101343306A is then initiator with iodine, and with relatively cheap methylene bromide as methylating reagent, it is 76% that molar yield has brought up to 73%(weight yield), HPLC purity can reach 91%.Still there is the defect that Chinese patent literature CN102887934A adopts Zn-Cu reagent in these two sections of documents.
