At present, the preparation method is mainly reported as follows:
patent documents US2011257395 and WO2008053221 describe a preparation method of 4-fluoro-5-hydroxy-2-methyl-1H-indole, 2,3, 4-trifluoronitrobenzene is used as a raw material, tert-butyl acetoacetate is used for preparing 2- (2, 3-difluoro-6-nitrophenyl) -3-oxo-N-butyl acid tert-butyl ester in the presence of strong sodium alkoxide, then the tert-butyl ester is reacted with Triton B (N, N-trimethylbenzene ammonium hydroxide) to replace nitro para-fluorine atoms to prepare 2- (2-fluoro-3-hydroxy-6-nitrophenyl) -3-oxo-N-butyl acid tert-butyl ester, and the tert-butyl ester is hydrolyzed and decarboxylated by aqueous solution of sulfuric acid to obtain 1- (2-fluoro-3-hydroxy-6-nitrophenyl) propyl-2 ketone, the preparation of 4-fluoro-5-hydroxy-2-methyl-1H-indole by reductive cyclization of sodium hydrosulfite is reported to have a total yield of 50.3%, and the reaction process is described as the following synthetic scheme 1.
Figure BDA0001629436480000021
Chinese patent document CN102603718A uses 2,3, 4-trifluoronitrobenzene as raw material, and ethyl acetoacetate to prepare 2- (2, 3-difluoro-6-nitrophenyl) -3-oxo-n-butyl ethyl butyrate in the presence of strong alkali sodium ethoxide, then hydrolysis decarboxylation is carried out in mixed acid consisting of concentrated hydrochloric acid and glacial acetic acid to obtain 1- (2, 3-difluoro-6-nitrophenyl) propyl-2 ketone, nitro para-fluorine atom is replaced by benzyl alcohol to prepare 1- (3-benzyloxy-2-fluoro-6-nitrophenyl) propyl-2-ketone, 5-benzyloxy-4-fluoro-2-methyl-1H-indole is obtained by reduction cyclization of sodium hydrosulfite, and 4-fluoro-5-hydroxy-2-methyl-1H-indole is obtained by palladium carbon catalysis, the overall yield is reported to be 44.3% and the reaction procedure is described in scheme 2 below.
