Description

Synthesis method of citalopram intermediate
Technical Field
The invention relates to the field of synthesis of pharmaceutical intermediates, in particular to a preparation method of a citalopram intermediate 4- (4- (dimethylamino) -1- (4-fluorophenyl) -1-hydroxybutyl) -3- (hydroxymethyl) benzonitrile. The information provided is intended only to aid the reader in understanding. Neither the information provided nor the references cited are admissions of prior art for the invention. Each reference cited is incorporated herein in its entirety and can be used for any purpose.
Background
Citalopram (Citalopram) was developed by LUNDBECK, denmark as a selective 5-hydroxytryptamine reuptake inhibitor (SSRI) that selectively inhibits the 5-HT transporter, blocks the reuptake of 5-HT by the presynaptic membrane, prolongs and increases the effects of 5-HT, and thus produces antidepressant effects.
4- (4- (dimethylamino) -1- (4-fluorophenyl) -1-hydroxybutyl) -3- (hydroxymethyl) benzonitrile is an important intermediate for preparing citalopram bulk drug, and the synthetic route thereof is reported at home and abroad, and is summarized as follows:
bogeso et al (US4650884) use 5-cyanophthalide as starting material, and perform Grignard reaction with p-fluorophenyl magnesium bromide and 3, 3-dimethylaminopropyl magnesium chloride twice, and then hydrolyze to obtain 4- (4- (dimethylamino) -1- (4-fluorophenyl) -1-hydroxybutyl) -3- (hydroxymethyl) benzonitrile according to the following synthetic route:
Figure GDA0002570325710000011
the method has short route, but the starting raw materials are expensive and not easy to obtain, and the synthesis pollution is large. In addition, the reaction needs twice lattice reagents, and the reaction is harsh; in addition, the used format reagent is not a common reagent and is expensive; and secondly, the reaction selectivity is poor, the yield is low, and the finishing cost is high.
Similar methods have been reported in other documents and patents, and the main purpose is to solve the problem of 5-cyanophthalide as a starting material, and the main difference is that the substituent at the 5-position is different, and the cyano group is constructed by coupling or amide dehydration or the like at the later stage.
The document (J.Am.chem.Soc.2016,138,3294-3297) reports a novel process for the synthesis of 4- (4- (dimethylamino) -1- (4-fluorophenyl) -1-hydroxybutyl) -3- (hydroxymethyl) benzonitrile by the following route:
Figure GDA0002570325710000021
the method comprises the steps of constructing a cyano group by oxidizing m-xylene which is cheap and is used as a starting material, converting methyl into hydroxymethyl through 3 steps of reaction, and reacting with ketone under the action of tert-butyl lithium to generate a target intermediate. The intermediate uses a class of solvents of carbon tetrachloride and heavy metal of silver nitrate, and the final step uses extremely dangerous tert-butyl lithium, and the yield is low, and the intermediate is purified by column chromatography, so the total cost is high, and the industrial production is not facilitated.
Aiming at the defects of the process route, the invention provides a synthetic route of a citalopram intermediate 4- (4- (dimethylamino) -1- (4-fluorophenyl) -1-hydroxybutyl) -3- (hydroxymethyl) benzonitrile and a preparation method thereof. The method has the advantages of short route, easily obtained raw materials, low cost, simple and convenient operation, convenient separation and purification in each step, high yield and good product quality, and can be used for large-scale industrial preparation of citalopram intermediate and raw material medicines.
