Background
Pyrazoles have a wide range of biological activities, and many pyrazoles have been developed and used as fungicides, herbicides, and insecticides, for example: tebufenpyrad (MK-239). In the biological and pharmaceutical fields, representative pyrazole drugs are: celecoxib, sildenafil, rimonabant, and the drug Darolutamide approved by the U.S. FDA for the treatment of prostate cancer (NMCRPC) in 7 months of 2019, which is an oral nonsteroidal androgen receptor antagonist. In addition, the pyrazole compounds are widely concerned as N-heterocyclic carbene precursors and metal ligands, so that the development of a new and effective synthetic method suitable for industrial production has very important significance and application prospect.
5-acetyl-1H-pyrazole-3-carboxylic acid (V) as a molecular fragment can be used for synthesizing various heterocyclic compounds, and derivatives thereof also have good biological activity, such as derivatives of 5-substituted-1H-pyrazole-3-carboxylic acid as nicotinic acid receptor RUP25 agonists for treating dyslipidemia and related diseases. 5-acetyl-1H-pyrazole-3-carboxylic acid and its derivative 5- (1- (tert-butyldimethylsilyloxy) ethyl) -1H-pyrazole-3-carboxylic acid are important fragments for the synthesis of Darolutamide (WO 2011051540, WO2016162604, WO 2016120530)
The synthesis of 5-acetyl-1H-pyrazole-3-carboxylic acid is reported in related patents and literatures. For example, WO2004032928 discloses the use of diethyl oxalate in refluxing reaction with 3, 3-dimethoxybutan-2-one in an ethanolic solvent to give intermediate 4, followed by the addition of hydrazine hydrochloride and H 2 And O, obtaining a crude product of the target product 5. The crude product of the target product 5 is purified by a preparation liquid phase, and only 26 percent of separation yield is obtained. Preparation of compound V, WO2004032928 reports the general procedure: after 5-substituted-1H-pyrazole-3-carboxylic ester (2.56 mmol) is hydrolyzed, ethyl acetate (200 vol) is used for extraction, drying and concentration, the whole synthesis route is synthesized, a compound 5 system is disordered, the product is difficult to separate, the yield is low, a large amount of solvents are used, and the method is not suitable for industrial production.
WO2012139930 reports that ethyl diazoacetate is in InCl 3 The pyrazole compound is prepared by reacting with 3-butyne-2-ketone under catalysis, and the process not only uses an explosive reagent ethyl diazoacetate, but also uses toxic and flammable 3-butyne-2-ketone. In addition, a transition metal catalyst InCl was used 3 Industrial sewage is generated, and a large amount of cost is increased by post-treatment. In the last hydrolysis reaction, the dosage reported by the patent is only 50mg, and the method has no reference to industrial production. We have found that compound V after hydrolysis is readily soluble in water and difficult to isolate by extraction.
WO201808130 reports that compound V is synthesized from ethyl diazoacetate, an explosive reagent, as a raw material through two diazo intermediates 11 and 12. It is well known that diazo compounds are unstable and are very susceptible to decomposition or even explosion when exposed to heat. The process has great safety risk when being used for industrial production. The two-step reaction of the route needs to be carried out at a low temperature (-78 ℃), needs low-temperature equipment and generates great energy consumption, and is not beneficial to the control of the production cost.
Tetrahedron Letters, 2018, 59(51), 4462-. The reaction is only carried out on a 1mmol scale, and the oxidizing reagent Oxone is used, and the use of diazo compounds cannot be avoided. The other substrate ethyl acrylate belongs to 2B carcinogens, and the acrylate compounds are inflammable, explosive and easy to polymerize. Therefore, the method is not suitable for industrial production.
The reported preparation method of the compound V has the defects of flammable, explosive and toxic reagents, harsh process conditions, low product yield, difficulty in purifying the product and the like. The invention aims to provide a simple, safe and low-cost synthetic process for preparing a compound V, which is suitable for industrial production.
