Technical Field

Background
Canagliflozin (Canagliflozin) is the first approved drug in sodium-glucose co-transporter 2(SGLT2) inhibitors for the glycemia of adult patients with type 2 diabetes. It acts on the SGLT2 protein in the kidney to help reabsorb glucose, removing more sugar from the patient's urine, and lowering blood glucose levels. The medicine is jointly developed by Mitsubishi corporation and Johnson corporation in Japan, and approved by FDA to be sold in the market in 3 months in 2013. Chemical name of canagliflozin: (1S) -1, 5-dehydro-1- [3- [ [5- (4-fluorophenyl) -2-thienyl ] group]Methyl radical]-4-methylphenyl radical]-D-glucose hemihydrate of formula C24H25FO5S.1/2H2O, molecular weight 453.5, structural formula as follows:
at present, the preparation method disclosed by the canagliflozin comprises the following steps: the preparation methods disclosed by Chinese patent CN102264714A, WO2016128995 and CN10544002A, CN10180137A and CN201510981375A, etc. are summarized as follows:
in the route, 2- (4-fluorophenyl) -5- [ (5-halo-2-methylphenyl) methyl ] thiophene and protected D-gluconolactone are used as starting materials, and are subjected to coupling reaction, reduction reaction and deprotection reaction to obtain canagliflozin. In the preparation process, the second step mostly uses triethylsilane and boron trifluoride diethyl etherate to carry out reduction reaction, and the glycosidic bond has two configurations of alpha-and beta-in which the beta-configuration is a dominant configuration and the alpha-configuration is an isomer impurity.
The disadvantages of the above route in the published literature are as follows: firstly, as in patent CN105440025, the temperature needs to be reduced to-78 ℃ in the first step of reaction, the requirement on equipment is high, and the temperature control is strict; secondly, alpha-configurational isomer impurities are generated in the reduction reaction in the second step, and the disclosed information has no effective purification method, so that the alpha-configurational isomer impurities are completely removed, which may influence the safety of the medicine; the post-treatment operation is complex and is not beneficial to industrial production; the intermediate 1 in patents CN10180137 and CN105541815 has poor stability and is not beneficial to long-term storage.
(2) The preparation methods disclosed in patents CN1829729A, CN102264714A, WO2016016852, US20160228375, WO2016142950 and US20130237487, CN103694230A, CN103936727A are summarized as follows:
in the above route, 2- (4-fluorophenyl) -5- [ (5-halo-2-methylphenyl) methyl ] thiophene, activated with lithium metal, is coupled, methylated and hydrolyzed with 2,3,4, 6-tetra-O- (trimethylsilyl) -D-gluconolactone to give intermediate 1; reducing by triethylsilane and boron trifluoride diethyl etherate to obtain a coarse product of canagliflozin; and (3) obtaining an intermediate 3 through acetylation, purifying the intermediate 3, then performing deprotection to obtain the canagliflozin with higher purity or the canagliflozin crude product and L-proline to form eutectic substance for purification, and then decomposing to obtain the canagliflozin with higher purity. In the preparation route, the second step of reduction reaction generates glycosidic bonds with alpha-configuration and beta-configuration, wherein the beta-configuration is a dominant configuration, and the alpha-configuration is an isomer impurity.
In the literature currently published, the above routes have the following disadvantages: firstly, as in patents CN200480022007, WO2016016852 and WO2016142950, n-butyllithium is used as an activating reagent, the temperature needs to be reduced to below-70 ℃, the requirement on equipment is high, the temperature control is strict and strict, and the requirement on operation safety is high; secondly, isomer impurities with alpha-configuration are generated in the reduction reaction, an intermediate 3-1 is obtained through acetylation, and the intermediate 3-1 is not purified to completely remove the isomer impurities with alpha-configuration; ③ impurities are easy to remain, for example, in patents US20130237487, CN103694230, and CN103936727, it is mentioned that canagliflozin and amino acid form eutectic compound for purification, and then amino acid impurities are easy to remain in the canagliflozin obtained by decomposition and extraction;
(3) the synthetic route mentioned in US20140128595 is as follows:
the above route mainly has the defects that the starting raw material 1, 6-diether-2, 4-OTBDPS-beta-D-glucopyranose is not easy to obtain, formatting reaction and n-butyl lithium are used in the reaction, the requirement on operation safety is high, the synthesis yield is low and the like, and the route is not suitable for industrial production.
Similarly, patent CN105481915 has the problems that L-gulono-gamma-lactone as a starting material is not easily available and expensive, and thus it is difficult to industrially produce.
(4) Patents CN103596944A, CN103980263A and US20110087017 mention the following direct chiral synthesis methods:
in the route, 2,3,4, 6-O-tet pivaloyl-alpha-D-bromo glucopyranose is expensive, high in production cost and long in reaction time, and the single isomer of the intermediate 1 is obtained through column chromatography, so that the method is not suitable for industrial production.
(5) The synthetic route mentioned in WO2015181692 is as follows:
in the synthetic route, (5-iodine-2-methylphenyl) - (5- (4-fluorophenyl) -2-thienyl) ketone is used as an initial raw material, and the reaction is carried out for 3 steps to obtain a crude product of canagliflozin, and the crude product of canagliflozin is crystallized by ethyl acetate, methyl tert-butyl ether and water to obtain the canagliflozin. The synthesis route has the advantages that the temperature required by the reaction of 2 steps is-70 ℃, and the requirement on equipment is high; in addition, n-butyl lithium is used in the second step, so that the operation safety requirement is high; the crystallization and purification steps of the crude product of canagliflozin have the defects of low yield and the like.

taking a 1L reaction bottle, and installing a mechanical stirring device, a thermometer and a constant-pressure low-liquid funnel; adding 480ml of dichloromethane solution of the intermediate 2 into a reaction bottle, cooling to-5 ℃, adding 53.6g (0.53mol) of triethylamine under the stirring condition, and adding 1.28g (0.011mol) of DMAP; maintaining the temperature, slowly and dropwise adding 54.1g (0.53mol) of acetic anhydride; after the completion of the dropwise addition, the reaction was continued for 4 hours.
After the reaction, 215ml of pure water was added dropwise thereto, and the mixture was stirred for 30 minutes. Maintaining the temperature at 30-40 ℃, removing the organic solvent by rotary removal under reduced pressure, and filtering to obtain a white solid. The white solid was added to 650ml of methanol, heated to reflux, stirred for 30 minutes, cooled to room temperature, filtered and dried to give 45.5g of a white solid. Adding the white solid into 423ml ethyl acetate, heating to reflux to obtain a clear solution, slowly adding 280ml n-hexane, slowly cooling to room temperature, and stirring overnight; the solution was filtered and the filter cake was washed with 25ml x 2 n-hexane to give 41.1g of a white solid with a yield of 63.9%. The purity of intermediate 3 was 99.79% by HPLC, and no tetraacetyl alpha-isomer was detected.
4. Preparation of canagliflozin:
taking a 1L reaction bottle, and installing a mechanical stirring device, a thermometer and a constant-pressure low-liquid funnel; 40g (0.065mol) of intermediate 3 was added to a mixed solvent of 200ml of methanol and 200ml of tetrahydrofuran, and stirred to obtain a slurry solution. A pure aqueous solution (90ml) of 8.1g (0.196mol) of lithium hydroxide was slowly added dropwise at room temperature. After the dropwise addition, the reaction was carried out for about 1 hour, the reaction solution became clear, and the reaction was continued for 4 hours. After the reaction, 200ml of purified water was added, the organic solvent was removed under reduced pressure, and a solid was precipitated, filtered under reduced pressure, washed with 30ml of 2ml of purified water, and dried to obtain 27.6g of a white solid. The resulting solid was added to 152ml methanol, dissolved with stirring, activated carbon (1.4g, 5%) was added, heated to reflux for 30 minutes, filtered to remove the activated carbon, purified water (125ml) was added, heated to reflux to give a clear solution, slowly cooled to room temperature, stirred for more than 12 hours, filtered, and dried to give 25.9g of a white solid with a yield of 89.8%. HPLC purity 99.95%, no alpha-isomer impurity detected, single impurity less than 0.02%.
