Background technology
17 α-acetoxyl group-11 β-[4-(N, N-dimethylamino)-phenyl]-19-norpregna-4,9-diene-3, CDB-2914 general by name or the ulipristal acetate of 20-diketone, its structural formula is as follows:
This compound is the medicine for emergency contraception and treatment hysteromyoma by the exploitation of French Laboratoire HRA Pharma company.This medicine goes on the market in 2009 Nian European Union, obtains U.S. food and drug administration (FDA) approval listing in August, 2010, and its commodity are called Ella.
At present by 11 β-[4-(N, N-dimethylamino)-phenyl]-17 Alpha-hydroxies-19-norpregna-4,9-diene-3,20-diketone is that raw material obtains 17 α-acetoxyl group-11 β-[4-(N through acetylize, N-dimethylamino)-phenyl]-19-norpregna-4,9-diene-3, the method for 20-diketone mainly contains two kinds: (1) is used the method for acetic acid, trifluoroacetic anhydride and tosic acid; (2) use the method for diacetyl oxide and perchloric acid.The disclosed preparation method of U5929262, WO2007144674 and WO2004078709 for example.Owing to all will using excessive acid in the building-up reactions of above-mentioned two kinds of methods, so in last handling process, need to use a large amount of alkali to neutralize.And because the synthetic product of gained is ester compound, generally believe and adopt highly basic can destroy product, therefore, be all generally to use in weak base and excessive acid.
U5929262 and CN201210383263.6 disclose and have used in wet chemical and superacid method; WO2004078709 discloses and has used in ammoniacal liquor and sodium bicarbonate aqueous solution and superacid method; CN201010552779.X discloses and has used in sodium carbonate and superacid method; WO2007144674 and CN201010253176.X disclose and have used in sodium acetate and superacid method.
In above-mentioned patent documentation, alkali major part used is weakly alkaline carbonate, because its solubleness in water is less thereby need to use a large amount of water, and then produces in process of production a large amount of waste water, and produces a large amount of carbon dioxides.And reaction process needs larger reaction vessel, has increased product cost.
Summary of the invention
The object of this invention is to provide a kind of 17 α-acetoxyl group-11 β-[4-(N, N-dimethylamino)-phenyl]-19-norpregna-4,9-diene-3, the preparation method of 20-diketone.The method has been abandoned and has all been adopted weak base neutralization by 11 β-[4-(N in the past, N-dimethylamino)-phenyl]-17 Alpha-hydroxies-19-norpregna-4, 9-diene-3, 20-diketone is that raw material obtains 17 α-acetoxyl group-11 β-[4-(N through acetylize, N-dimethylamino)-phenyl]-19-norpregna-4, 9-diene-3, excessive sour technology prejudice in the reaction of 20-diketone, use highly basic to neutralize the excess acid in this reaction process, reduced thus the volume of reaction vessel in industrial production, reduce product cost, reduce discharge of wastewater and Carbon emission, more be conducive to suitability for industrialized production, lab scale and scale-up have all been verified the stability of aforesaid method.
Above-mentioned purpose of the present invention is achieved through the following technical solutions:
A kind of 17 α-acetoxyl group-11 β-[4-(N; N-dimethylamino)-phenyl]-19-norpregna-4; 9-diene-3; the preparation method of 20-diketone; this preparation method comprises by 11 β-[4-(N; N-dimethylamino)-phenyl]-17 Alpha-hydroxies-19-norpregna-4; 9-diene-3; 20-diketone is that raw material obtains 17 α-acetoxyl group-11 β-[4-(N through acetylization reaction; N-dimethylamino)-phenyl]-19-norpregna-4,9-diene-3,20-diketone; it is characterized in that, this preparation method also comprises excessive sour step in use highly basic and in described reaction process.
Wherein, preferably, described highly basic is strong alkali aqueous solution, and for example sodium hydroxide and/or potassium hydroxide aqueous solution, be preferably aqueous sodium hydroxide solution.More preferably, described strong alkali aqueous solution is lower concentration strong alkali aqueous solution or saturated strong alkali aqueous solution.Further preferably, the concentration of described strong alkali aqueous solution is 0~20mol/L, is preferably 6mol/L.
Wherein, preferably, described acid is selected from one or more in acetic acid, trifluoroacetic acid, diacetyl oxide, trifluoroacetic anhydride, perchloric acid or tosic acid, more preferably perchloric acid and/or diacetyl oxide.
The present invention has verified above-mentioned preparation method's stability by lab scale and scale-up, use the excessive acid in highly basic neutralization reaction process, guarantees that sintetics is not hydrolyzed by a strong alkali, and product purity is reached more than 99%; In employing highly basic, with the volume that can reduce reaction vessel, reduce product cost, reduce discharge of wastewater and Carbon emission, be more conducive to suitability for industrialized production.This product of production 1kg of take is example, and the volume contrast of waste water, CO2 emissions and the reaction vessel forming by the excess acid in highly basic and weak base neutralization reaction is as shown in the table:
