A kind of method of synthesizing 2-hydroxyl-3-alkoxyl propionic ester compounds
Technical field
The present invention relates to medicine intermediate technical field.Particularly, the present invention relates to Endothelin Receptor inhibitor intermediate, particularly a kind of method of synthesizing 2-hydroxyl-3-alkoxyl propionic ester compounds.
Background technology
Endothelin is a kind of peptide be made up of 21 seed amino acids, and it is synthesized by the endothelium of blood vessel and discharges.Endothelin is a kind of effective vasoconstrictor and has very strong effect to antiotasis.Increase or the endothelin of abnormality is released in surrounding blood vessel, Renal vascular and cerebral blood vessel and causes lasting vasoconstriction, this contraction can cause disease.Concerning the endothelin blood plasma level having found the patient of hypertension, memory myocardial infarction, cerebrovascular high pressure, Reynolds syndrome, atherosclerosis and respiratory tract spasm to increase.Therefore, therefore specific suppression endothelin is combined in the material on acceptor should the above-mentioned different endothelin physiologic effect of antagonism be also also valuable medicine.
Now find, 2-hydroxyl-3-alkoxypropan acid derivative is the good inhibitor of endothelin receptor, and 2-hydroxyl-3-alkoxyl propionic ester compounds is as its important intermediate, and the synthesis studying it has great importance.
At present, the existing related introduction to synthesis 2-hydroxyl-3-alkoxyl propionic ester compounds.Such as, Journal of Medicinal Chemistry, discloses a kind of preparation method of 2-hydroxyl-3-alkoxyl propionic ester in 1996, vol.39, #11p.2123 – 2128, and it adopts Lewis acid BF
