Description

Preparation method of gefitinib
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of organic chemistry and medicines, in particular to a preparation method of gefitinib.
Background
Gefitinib (Gefitinib, irykur, iressa) is an oral epidermal growth factor receptor tyrosine kinase (EGFR-TK) inhibitor (a small molecule compound) developed by asikang, marketed in japan in 2002 for the treatment of advanced non-small cell lung cancer, and marketed in china under the trade name iressa in 2005 for the treatment of locally advanced or metastatic non-small cell cancer that has previously received chemotherapy. Inhibition of EGFR-TK may block tumor growth, metastasis and angiogenesis, and increase apoptosis of tumor cells. Gefitinib (CAS number: 184475-35-2, molecular formula: C) 22 H 24 ClFN 4 O 3 Molecular weight: 446.90) has the following structure, chemical name: n- (3-chloro-4-fluorophenyl) -7-methoxy-6- (3-morpholine-4-propoxy) quinazolin-4-amine.
Figure BDA0001449867270000011
Currently, there are many researches on the preparation of gefitinib, and there are the following methods for preparing gefitinib:
gibson (Zeneca limited) reports a gefitinib intermediate synthesis method (US5770599), and the synthesis route is as follows:
Figure BDA0001449867270000012
the method comprises the steps of taking 6, 7-dimethoxy quinazoline-4 (3H) ketone as a raw material, selectively demethylating by methanesulfonic acid and L-methionine to obtain 6-hydroxy-7-methoxy-3, 4-dihydro quinazoline-4-ketone, then acetylating on phenolic hydroxy to obtain a key intermediate 3, 4-dihydro-7-methoxy-4-oxo quinazoline-6-alcohol acetate, and then chlorinating, phenylating, deacetylating and etherifying a morpholine ring side chain to obtain a target product gefitinib. In the method, the selective demethylation of methanesulfonic acid and L-methionine is adopted, so that the yield is low, a large amount of methanesulfonic acid and L-methionine which are difficult to recover are used, the environmental pollution is large, the total yield of the route is low, and the industrial production is limited. 6, 7-dimethoxy quinazoline-4 (3H) ketone is not a general chemical raw material, and CN1150948 reports that 4, 5-dimethoxy-2-nitrobenzoic acid is required to be prepared through three steps of esterification, reduction and cyclization.
Another synthetic route for preparing gefitinib is reported by gilday (astrazeneca pharmaceuticals) in patent WO2004024703 as follows:
Figure BDA0001449867270000021
according to the method, 3-hydroxy-4-methoxybenzaldehyde is used as a starting material, aldehyde groups are converted into cyano groups, and then etherification, nitration, reduction, hydrolysis, cyclization and chloro-and aromatic amine substitution are carried out to obtain gefitinib through eight steps of reaction, although the defect that a large amount of methanesulfonic acid and L-methionine are used for demethylation is overcome, the starting material 3-hydroxy-4-methoxybenzaldehyde is expensive, is more than 20 times of 3, 4-dimethoxybenzaldehyde, and the yield of certain steps is low, so that the production cost is relatively high.
Chinese patent CN1733738 reports that gefitinib is synthesized by using 3, 4-dimethoxybenzoic acid as a raw material, and the route is as follows:
Figure BDA0001449867270000022
according to the method, 3, 4-dimethoxybenzoic acid is used as a raw material, and the gefitinib is obtained by nitration, demethylation, reduction, cyclization, chlorination and aromatic amine substitution and morpholine N-alkyl side chain introduction. In the fourth step of cyclization reaction, 2-amino-4-methoxy-5-hydroxybenzoic acid is directly cyclized with formamide to construct 4-carbonyl quinazoline parent ring, the reaction temperature is preferably 170-180 ℃, the reaction temperature is high, byproducts are more, and the yield is low. In addition, because of the existence of active group hydroxyl, side reaction is easy to occur in the next step of aromatic amine substitution reaction because the hydroxyl is not protected.
In addition, chinese patent publication nos. CN103130729A and CN105693630A report the preparation method of the chlorination reaction step of the intermediate 3, 4-dihydro-7-methoxy-4-oxoquinazolin-6-ol acetate as a raw material, and do not relate to the preparation method of the intermediate.
