Background
Flibanserin (flibanserin), a drug used for increasing female sexual desire, reduces the 5-hydroxytryptamine inhibiting sexual desire to increase the level of dopamine stimulating sexual desire. Burlinger Inveheim, Germany, published results of a three-phase clinical trial of flibanserin at the European conference of sexuality on day 11, 16, 2009, which was said to show good efficacy and tolerability in pre-menopausal women with low libido (HSDD). The most key intermediate flibanserin hydrochloride has great potential in market prospect and economic benefit.
The synthesis route of flibanserin is reported in literature reported by literature [ TURCONI M, BIETTI G, GIRALDO E, et al, Benzimidazo-lonederivatives as 5-HT1A and 5-HT2 antagonists:1993003016[ P ]. 1993-02-18 ], wherein 1- (1-phenylalkenyl) -1, 3-dihydrobenzimidazolone is used as a raw material, and an intermediate 2, 2 and 1- (3-trifluoromethylphenyl) piperazine hydrochloride are condensed to obtain the intermediate flibanserin hydrochloride through alkylation and deprotection reactions. The raw material 1- (1-phenylalkenyl) -1, 3-dihydrobenzimidazolone is a commodity which is difficult to obtain in the market and expensive, and has certain limitation on the industrial production of flibanserin hydrochloride.
Currently, there is no commercially available and low-cost method for the preparation of flibanserin hydrochloride in the prior art.
