Background
1H-pyrrolo [3, 2-c ] pyridin-6-ol is one of pyrrolo [3, 2-c ] pyridine compounds, is an important intermediate of renin inhibitors, and can control hypertension and reduce the risk of cardiovascular diseases when acting on a human body; pyrrolo [3, 2-c ] pyridine compounds are also applied to the preparation of medicaments for diseases such as immune system diseases, psoriasis, rheumatoid arthritis, tumors and the like in the pharmaceutical industry. In the prior art, no literature data is reported on the synthesis of 1H-pyrrolo [3, 2-c ] pyridine-6-ol.
For the hydrolysis of halogen at the 2-position of the pyridine ring, two general approaches, basic hydrolysis or acid hydrolysis, are used:
wherein, the group R generally refers to all atoms or atomic groups that can accept an additional electron to form a stable structure, and examples include, but are not limited to, hydrogen atoms, halogen atoms, methyl groups, ethyl groups, amine groups, carboxyl groups, hydroxyl groups, ester groups, and the like.
When alkaline hydrolysis is carried out, the alkali can be selected from sodium hydroxide, potassium hydroxide, etc., tetrahydrofuran or water is used as solvent, and saponification hydrolysis is carried out to obtain the product. When acidic hydrolysis is used, the acid may be hydrochloric acid, sulfuric acid, etc. When 6-chloro-5-azaindole is used as a raw material to synthesize 1H-pyrrolo [3, 2-c ] pyridin-6-ol by the above-mentioned acid or base hydrolysis method, no target product is produced when the 6-chloro-5-azaindole is directly subjected to basic hydrolysis or acidolysis.

The invention provides a synthetic method for preparing a compound 1H-pyrrole [3, 2-c ] pyridine-6-alcohol, which solves the technical problem that no target product is generated when 6-chloro-5-azaindole adopts a 2-halogen alkaline hydrolysis or acidolysis method on a pyridine ring in the prior art, and explores a synthetic route aiming at the problem as follows:
the synthetic route takes 6-chloro-5-azaindole (compound 1) as a raw material, alkali and acid are added to react with benzyl alcohol to generate 6- (benzyloxy) -1H-pyrrolo [3, 2-c ] pyridine (compound 2), and the 1H-pyrrolo [3, 2-c ] pyridine (compound 3) is obtained after hydrogenation debenzylation of the 6- (benzyloxy) -1H-pyrrolo [3, 2-c ] pyridine.
The specific reaction steps comprise that 6-chloro-5-azaindole reacts in an alkaline (I) solution of a first organic solvent in which benzyl alcohol is dissolved, the temperature of the reaction solution is kept at 80-120 ℃, reflux reaction is carried out for 10-20 hours, the reaction solution is cooled to room temperature, filtration is carried out, and filtrate is taken and dried in a spinning mode to obtain 6- (benzyloxy) -1H-pyrrolo [3, 2-c ] pyridine; mixing 6- (benzyloxy) -1H-pyrrolo [3, 2-c ] pyridine and palladium hydroxide or palladium carbon in an alkaline (II) solution of a second organic solvent for reaction, taking the palladium hydroxide or the palladium carbon as a catalyst, mixing and reacting for 10-24H under the conditions of hydrogen environment and room temperature, filtering the reaction solution, taking the filtrate, and spin-drying to obtain the 1H-pyrrolo [3, 2-c ] pyridine-6-ol. Wherein the first organic solvent is tetrahydrofuran, dioxane, toluene, dimethyl sulfoxide or N, N-dimethylformamide, the base (I) is sodium hydrogen, potassium tert-butoxide, sodium tert-butoxide or lithium diisopropylamide, the second organic solvent is methanol, ethanol, ethyl acetate or tetrahydrofuran, and the base (II) is triethylamine, DBU or TEDA.
The present invention is further illustrated by the following examples, which are not intended to limit the scope of the invention. In the invention, potassium tert-butoxide is used as the base (I) for synthesizing the compound 2, and triethylene diamine is used as the base (II) for synthesizing the compound 3. Because the base (I) and the base (II) mainly provide OH in the reaction-Therefore, similar technical effects can be achieved by replacing the alkali in example 1 with the above types of alkali, and thus, the description is omitted.
Example 1
1) Benzyl alcohol (15.95g, 147.5mmol, 1.5eq) was dissolved in 150ml anhydrous dioxane, compound 1(15g, 98.3mmol, 1.0eq) and potassium tert-butoxide (1.68g, 15.0mmol, 0.15eq) were added, the mixed reaction solution was warmed to 100 ℃, reflux reaction was carried out for 16h, the reaction solution was cooled to room temperature, filtration was carried out, the filtrate was taken and spin-dried to give compound 2(19g, 84.7mmol), and the product yield was 86.18%.
2) Compound 2(19g, 84.7mmol, 1.0eq) was dissolved in 200ml of methanol, triethylenediamine (0.48g, 4.2mmol, 0.05eq) and 10% palladium on carbon (1.8g) were added, hydrogen was introduced, reaction was carried out at room temperature for 16 hours, the palladium on carbon was removed by filtration from the reaction solution, and the filtrate was dried by spin-drying to give compound 3(10.45g, 84.7mmol) with a product yield of 91.95%.
The nuclear magnetic hydrogen spectrum of the compound 3 is shown in figure 1,1H-NMR(600MHz,DMSO)δ11.05(s,1H),10.58(s,1H),7.81(s,1H),7.08(dd,J=3.3,2.1Hz,1H),6.26–6.15(m,1H),6.00(s,1H)。
examples 2-5 differ from example 1 in the equivalent ratio of reactants, reaction temperature and reflux reaction time for the synthesis of compound 2, and the reaction conditions of the preamble are unchanged, and the specific reaction conditions are shown in table 1 below.
Among them, examples 2 and 3 are different from example 1 in that potassium tert-butoxide is different in equivalent when compound 2 is synthesized from compound 1. The yield of compound 2 is not greatly affected by further increasing the equivalent of potassium tert-butoxide relative to preferred example 1. The potassium tert-butoxide is used as a catalyst and only needs to be added in a catalytic amount, and the equivalent ratio of the potassium tert-butoxide to the compound is preferably 0.15. Examples 4 and 5 are different from example 1 in the amount of benzyl alcohol equivalent when compound 2 is synthesized from compound 1. When the equivalent ratio of the benzyl alcohol to the compound 1 is increased from 1 to 1.5, the yield of the compound 2 is obviously increased; but as the equivalent ratio of benzyl alcohol to compound 1 continued to rise from 1.5 to 3, the yield of compound 2 increased slightly. In general, the ratio of the equivalent of benzyl alcohol to 1 of the compound is preferably 1.5.
TABLE 1 reaction conditions and product yields for the preparation of Compound 2
Examples 6 to 9 are different from example 1 in the equivalent ratio of reactants, the mass ratio of catalyst, the reaction time of the synthesized compound 3, and the reaction conditions of the preamble, which are shown in table 1 below.
TABLE 2 reaction conditions and product yields for the preparation of Compound 3
Example 6 differs from example 1 only in that during the synthesis of compound 3 from compound 2, no base triethylenediamine was added, and other reaction conditions were unchanged, the yield was 0 and only the by-product 2, 3-dihydro-1H-pyrrolo [3, 2-c ] pyridin-6-ol was excessively reduced.
Example 7, example 8 and example 9 differ from example 1 in that the amount of triethylenediamine equivalent is different when compound 3 is synthesized from compound 2. When the equivalent ratio of the compound 2 to the triethylene diamine is increased from 0.1 to 1, the yield of the compound 2 is not influenced; therefore, the equivalent ratio of triethylenediamine to compound 2 is preferably 0.1.
The embodiments show that the synthetic route for preparing 1H-pyrrolo [3, 2-c ] pyridine-6-ol provided by the invention can really and effectively solve the problem that the existing alkali or acid hydrolysis technology cannot obtain 1H-pyrrolo [3, 2-c ] pyridine-6-ol from 6-chloro-5-azaindole, and the synthetic route is high in product yield, less in by-product and suitable for industrial mass production.
