Background
Voriconazole (Voriconazole), a broad-spectrum antifungal drug developed by pfend, inc, pfzer, inc, usa, and marketed for the first time in america and successively in english and de in 2002. The voriconazole is used as a derivative of the fluconazole, and after 1 methyl is added to a propyl structure of the fluconazole, the affinity of the voriconazole to a target enzyme is increased; the pyrimidine ring also increases antifungal activity; fluorine in position 5 enhances in vitro activity and is used primarily to treat progressive, potentially life-threatening infections in immunodeficient patients. Like other azole drugs, its mechanism of action is through inhibiting the function of cytochrome P450-dependent 14A sterol demethylase, thereby inhibiting the formation of functional fungal membranes and the key step of sterol biosynthesis that maintains fungal growth. Indications include: immunosuppressed patients had severe fungal infections, acute invasive aspergillosis (the most common pathogenic bacteria were aspergillus fumigatus, followed by aspergillus flavus, aspergillus niger and aspergillus terreus), severe invasive infections caused by fluconazole-resistant candida species (including candida krusei), severe infections caused by actinomycete species and fusarium species.
The ethyl 2-fluoro-3-oxopentanoate is an important intermediate in the process of voriconazole production. At present, the production method of 2-fluoro-3-oxopentanoic acid ethyl ester which is applied more in industry is mainly a route taking 2-fluoro-acetic acid ethyl ester and propionyl chloride as raw materials, and the reaction formula is as follows:
in the reaction process, the product ethyl 2-fluoro-3-oxopentanoate is easy to undergo hydrolysis reaction under acidic reaction conditions to generate a byproduct 2-fluoro-3-oxopentanoic acid. And the boiling point of the 2-fluoro-3-oxopentanoic acid is close to that of the main product ethyl 2-fluoro-3-oxopentanoate, and the impurities are difficult to separate from the main product by ordinary rectification. Therefore, the purity of the ethyl 2-fluoro-3-oxopentanoate is difficult to further improve, and certain technical difficulty is brought to the subsequent synthesis of high-purity voriconazole.
