Description

The method for preparing epiandrosterone as raw material using androstenedione
Technical field
The present invention relates to medicine intermediate synthesis technical fields, and in particular to one kind preparing table by raw material of androstenedione The new method of androsterone.
Background technology
Epiandrosterone can not only be used for synthesizing rocuronium, Vecuronium Bromide etc. high-end as a kind of steroid hormone intermediate Male sex hormone drug, is also used as the additive of beauty product, while having the effects that anticancer, anti-aging, beauty, It industrially has broad prospects, structural formula is as follows:
The prior synthesizing method of epiandrosterone is to obtain vinegar after esterification, cracking, oxidation, hydrolysis using Chinese yam saponin as raw material (II) abbreviation diene is denoted as sour gestation diene alcohol ketone, diene is reset through oximate, backman, hydrolyzed again, obtains dehydroepiandros-sterone (DHEA), DHEA finally obtains epiandrosterone by hydro-reduction, and said synthesis route is as follows:
However the prior synthesizing method there are routes it is long, process is complicated, yield is low the problems such as, and as synthesizing steroid The yellow ginger of hormone raw material is limited by factors such as regional and seasonalities, and is influenced by overdeveloped in recent years, with it As the raw material of synthesizing steroid hormone intermediate, the needs of industrialized production far can not be met.
103102379 B of Chinese patent CN disclose one kind using pregnenolone acetate as raw material, by oximate, The method that backman is reset and hydrolysis prepares epiandrosterone, reaction equation are as follows:
However the increasingly depleted of the raw material yellow ginger due to producing monoene in recent years, lead to the price of pregnenolone acetate It rises steadily, production cost is relatively higher.In addition, the above method will use toxic reagent POCl3, there are higher safety Hidden danger is produced, safe production is unfavorable for.
105801649 A of Chinese patent CN disclose one kind using androstenedione as raw material, with titanium dioxide composite catalyzing The method that agent selective reduction androstenedione obtains epiandrosterone.However due to having 3 and 17 two carbonyls simultaneously in androstenedione structure Base, selective reduction effect is poor, causes the yield of epiandrosterone relatively not high.
105503985 A of Chinese patent CN disclose one kind using androstenedione as raw material, are protected by esterification, ketal Total five steps reaction such as reaction, esterlysis reaction, lithium ammonia reduction reaction, boron hydrogen reduction and hydrolysis is protected, table hero has finally been made Ketone.But have two step reduction reactions in this method reaction process, respectively lithium ammonia reduction reaction and boron hydrogen reduction hydrolysis, Reaction process is complicated, and product yield is relatively low.The specific synthetic route of this method is as follows:
It is an object of the invention to overcome above-mentioned variety of problems existing for existing epiandrosterone synthetic method, urged using palladium carbon Change the existing complicated lithium ammonia of reduction reaction substitution and boron hydrogen reduction reaction, not only optimizes synthetic route, reduce complex process Degree, also improves product yield, reduces production cost, has preferable industrial applications foreground.
