Abstract

This application involves the novel methods that 2 (3 cyano, 4 isobutoxy phenyl) 41,3 thiazole of methyl, 5 formic acid (Febuxostat) is prepared by novel and the formyl basal orientation cyano of high yield conversion.

Description

Prepare the novel method of Febuxostat
Technical field
The present invention relates to prepare 2- (3- cyano -4- isobutyls by novel and the formyl basal orientation cyano of high yield conversion Phenyl) -4- methyl-1s, the novel method of 3- thiazole -5- formic acid (Febuxostat).
Background technology
Febuxostat (Formulas I) is the inhibitor of xanthine oxidase, by Di Ren pharmaceutical Co. Ltds of Japanese firm (Teijin Pharma Ltd) is found and it is indicated for the treatment of antihyperuricemic and chronic gout.Its chemical name It is 2- (3- cyano-4-isobutoxy phenyls) -4- methyl-1s, 3- thiazole -5- formic acid.It with European brand name Adenuric, Japanese brand name Feburic and the U.S. and Canada brand name Uloric are sold.
In EP0513379B1, Febuxostat is prepared by 4- hydroxyl -3- nitrobenzaldehydes according to following scheme.
This specific method has the shortcomings that more.It is not only very long, includes seven from starting material to final product Step, and most significantly, it takes the use of cyanide, and cyanide is extremely toxic reagent.Cyanide salt is possible to generate Hydrocyanide, there are a large amount of risks during commercial scale.
In Japan Patent JP06345724A (JP2706037B), the ethyl ester intermediate of Febuxostat is by cyano nitro Benzene is prepared through three steps.According to the prior art, Febuxostat then can be prepared by alkaline hydrolysis.
Extremely toxic potassium cyanide uses so that this method is not suitable for manufacturing purpose.
In Japan Patent JP3202607B, Febuxostat ethyl ester is carried out according to scheme above via two similar routes It prepares.Route A uses flash column chromatography azanol reaction product, however route B has low-yield and the chlorine for recrystallization Change the use of solvent.In addition, in both cases, reaction dissolvent is formic acid, it can be to artificial at serious skin burn and eye Damage.Formic acid also has corrosivity to the structural material (MOC) based on metal, such as stainless steel and nickel alloy, will select substantially It is limited to glass reactor or container.The required a large amount of formic acid of every a batch are directed to using the shortcomings that this solvent, are hindered Waste processing.
In CN101723915B, focus is the improvement to azanol reaction.Dimethylformamide (DMF) and other solvent generations Formic acid is replaced.But according to widely used organic chemistry textbooks, such as the Advanced Organic Chemistry of March, page 1287, Six editions, M.B.Smith and J.March, ISBN0-471-72091-7, the mechanism of reaction are included in the formation of oxime after azanol effect, It is further dehydrated with the help of suitable reagent, such as formic acid or acetic anhydride to form nitrile.It is not present in such reagent When, it is contemplated that reaction will be caused at least not complete, so as to cause low-yield and undesirable impurity level, that is, Intermediate oxime.The impurity of similar structure that these are generated by the reaction of method and that desired product is presented is generally difficult to using normal It advises industrial technology to remove, such as crystallizes.
In WO2010142653A1, intermediate Febuxostat ethyl ester is prepared by 4- cyanophenols by five-step approach.Non- cloth Sotan can as first example by alkaline hydrolysis by it correspondence ethyl ester prepare.
Method uses the application of palladium catalyst in final step, in addition, reaction carries out 48 hours under high temperature (145 DEG C) It (condition for improving energy expenditure) and is generally difficult to be converted into commercial scale.
Therefore, still need to be suitble to higher yield, show meet country or internal authority standard chemical purity, have The method of commercial viability, convenient and safe method production Febuxostat compound.
