Description

Method for preparing 16a, 21-diacetyl oxygen prednisolone
Technical Field
The invention belongs to a preparation process technology of a steroid hormone drug intermediate, and particularly relates to a method for preparing 16a, 21-diacetyl oxygen prednisolone.
Background
16 a-hydroxy prednisolone (molecular formula C)21H28O6) The chemical name is 11b, 16a, 17a, 21-tetrahydroxy-pregna-1, 4-diene-3, 20-diketone, which is a key intermediate for producing a nedesteroid adrenocortical hormone medicament, the nedeyne is prepared by taking the nedeyne as a raw material and carrying out one-step condensation reaction with acetone, and the nedeyne is prepared by carrying out one-step condensation with n-butyl aldehyde. The traditional production method of 16 a-hydroxy prednisolone takes prednisolone as raw material, and is prepared by four steps of reaction of 17, 21-position double esterification, 17-position ester elimination, 16, 17-position double bond oxidation, 21-position ester hydrolysis and the like, the 16a hydroxy prednisolone synthesized by the method has low total synthesis yield, and the main reason is that: on one hand, when 16, 17-bit double bonds are oxidized by potassium permanganate, 11-bit hydroxyl in molecules can be oxidized due to the oxidizing property of 6a hydroxyl prednisolone of potassium permanganate, and 16-bit hydroxyl in the molecules of the product 16a hydroxyl prednisolone acetate can be oxidized, so that more impurities are generated, the purification is difficult, and the yield of the oxidation step is low; on the other hand, the fourth step 16 a-prednisolone glycolate after hydrolysis with strong alkali such as sodium hydroxide or sodium carbonate or strong acid such as hydrochloric acid or sulfuric acid will produce ring-opening rearrangement and ring-expansion reaction of D ring in the molecule to produce two very large impurities, which are difficult to remove, resulting in low yield of the fourth step hydrolysis reaction. Therefore, the production cost of the 16 a-hydroxy prednisolone by the method is high, so thatGreatly improves the production cost and the market price of the budesonide medicaments, and greatly increases the medication cost of patients in treatment.
Patents such as chinese patent applications CN201610060609, CN201410455522, and CN201010106918 all use potassium permanganate oxidation to produce 16a hydroxyprednisolone.
In addition, patent CN201010205878 provides a method for synthesizing 16 α -hydroxyprednisolone, which comprises the following steps: taking prednisolone with a structure shown as a formula (I) as a raw material, performing dehydration reaction in an acidic ionic liquid with a structure shown as a formula (II) to generate double bonds, adding hydrogen peroxide water solution for reaction, adding water for further hydrolysis after full reaction, and finally obtaining the 16 alpha-hydroxy prednisolone; the synthesis method utilizes the property of the acidic ionic liquid serving as both a reaction medium and a catalyst, achieves the purposes of reducing cost, saving energy and reducing emission by changing the process conditions such as reaction time, reaction temperature and the like, and is suitable for industrial production. And patent CN201210364257 also provides a synthetic method of 16 α -hydroxy prednisolone. The method comprises the steps of taking prednisolone with a structure shown in a formula (I) as a raw material, carrying out dehydration reaction under the action of a gemini surfactant shown in a formula (II) to generate a double-bond compound, then adding aqueous hydrogen peroxide for further reaction, adding water for hydrolysis after the reaction is finished, and obtaining the target product 16 alpha-hydroxy prednisolone, wherein the gemini surfactant is a diphenylmethane gemini surfactant. The gemini surfactant is simultaneously used as a reaction medium and a catalyst, can be recycled and reused after the reaction is finished, and has the advantages of simple process, convenient post-treatment, high yield of the obtained product, good efficiency, less three wastes, high yield up to more than 85 percent, repeated use of the gemini surfactant, economy, practicability, environmental protection and suitability for popularization and application.
However, in the above patent, although the use of a strong oxidizing agent such as potassium permanganate is avoided, prednisolone is used as a raw material, and dehydration is performed to generate a double bond-containing substance, if the double bond-containing substance is 17-dehydroxy prednisolone, the process of preparing 16 α -hydroxy prednisolone by using 17-dehydroxy prednisolone as a raw material, oxidizing with hydrogen peroxide, and then hydrolyzing with water is difficult to implement and repeat. It is not indicated in these two patents what the intermediate formed during the reaction is, and it is therefore not clear what route and route the inventors of these two patents specifically obtained 16 α -hydroxy prednisolone, but it can be seen that acetic acid was not used in these two patents, and thus the process of acetic acid ring opening is not involved at all.
Therefore, in general, no technology which can avoid using potassium permanganate and other strong oxidants and can efficiently, environmentally and cheaply prepare 16 alpha-hydroxy prednisolone exists in the prior art. There is a need in the art to develop a new method for preparing 16 alpha-hydroxy prednisolone and its intermediates.
