Description

Method for continuously synthesizing metoprolol and salt thereof
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the technical field of drug synthesis, and particularly relates to a method for continuously synthesizing metoprolol and salt thereof.
Background
Metoprolol (also known as Metoprolol, betamethasone, Metoprolol, etc.) is a commonly used drug for treating various types of hypertension (combined with diuretic and vasodilator) and angina pectoris in clinic. Its chemical name is 1-Isopropylamino-3- [ p- (2-methoxyethyl) phenoxy ] -2-propanol, 1- (Isopropylamino) -3- (4- (2-methoxylethyl) phenoxy) propan-2-ol. Metoprolol is a second generation beta-receptor blocker, can selectively block beta 1 receptors and weaken myocardial damage caused by increase of cardiac adrenergic tension; it also reduces the heart rate, so it can treat irregular heart rate. Metoprolol can also reduce myocardial contractility and hypertension. Metoprolol reduces myocardial oxygen demand by slowing heart rate and myocardial contractile strength. Metoprolol is also helpful in treating sore throats, as it may cause sore throats when oxygen demand exceeds supply.
At present, many documents are reported for synthesizing metoprolol and intermediates, such as patents: us2005107635, us5082969, wo9822426, wo2007141593, cn200810115092.2, cn102503843, cn 102381995. The main synthetic route is as follows:
Figure BDA0002861807780000011
U.S. Pat. No. 5,50829,69 to synthetic II, under the alkaline condition, p-methoxyethylphenol reacts with epichlorohydrin, and the reaction lasts 15-20 hours at low temperature, and the reaction time is too long, and more ring-opening byproducts are generated; wo9822426 reacts with us2005107635 in water, the reaction temperature is increased, the II is purified by distillation, the reaction time is 3-5 hours, and the production reaction operation is inconvenient. In wo2007141593, after the p-methoxyethyl phenol and the alkali form a salt, the p-methoxyethyl phenol reacts at a low temperature for a long time. cn102381995 is improved, and after salifying at high temperature, the reaction time is shortened to 4 hours by reacting with epichlorohydrin at low temperature, but the reaction time is slightly longer. cn200810115092.2 uses phase transfer catalyst, but also uses a large amount of organic solvent such as dichloromethane or isopropanol, which increases the cost and the risk of environmental pollution.
Chinese patent application publication No. CN 105820057 a discloses a method for preparing metoprolol, which comprises reacting p-methoxyethylphenol with epichlorohydrin in a tubular reactor under alkaline conditions, distilling the reaction solution obtained from the tubular reactor under reduced pressure with slight negative pressure to obtain a mixed solution of II and water, and subjecting the mixed solution of II and water and isopropylamine to amination reaction in water to obtain metoprolol. The applicant finds that metoprolol prepared by the method also contains a plurality of byproducts, and the metoprolol can meet the standard requirements of the raw material medicaments only by more purification operations.
Therefore, it would be of great significance to provide a method for synthesizing metoprolol, so as to overcome the defects of the above reaction for synthesizing metoprolol, etc.
Disclosure of Invention
The invention aims to solve the problems in the process for synthesizing metoprolol, and provides a process route which has the advantages of short reaction time, less by-products, simple operation, environmental protection and industrial production.
In order to achieve the above object, the present invention provides a method for continuously synthesizing metoprolol, comprising the steps of:
(1) carrying out reduced pressure rectification on a 1- (2, 3-epoxypropoxy) -4- (2-methoxyethyl) benzene raw material to obtain a pure product with the purity of more than 99%, and preparing into an ethanol solution;
(2) uniformly mixing the ethanol solution obtained in the step (1) with isopropylamine, and then reacting in a pipeline reactor to generate 1-isopropylamino-3- [ (2-methoxyethyl) phenoxy ] -2-propanol reaction liquid;
(3) and (3) directly feeding the reaction liquid obtained in the step (2) into a rectifying tower after pressure reduction to recover the isopropylamine, wherein the tower bottom liquid contains high-purity metoprolol.
The inventor finds that when the p-methoxyethylphenol and the epichlorohydrin are subjected to condensation reaction, the main side reaction is that the epoxy in the molecule of the 1- (2, 3-epoxypropoxy) -4- (2-methoxyethyl) benzene is subjected to ring opening under the alkaline condition to generate a diol byproduct (III) (shown in the following formula). Meanwhile, epichlorohydrin can be hydrolyzed into chloropropanol and the like. Therefore, increasing the purity of II by distillation or rectification is advantageous for the subsequent reaction and for increasing the purity of the final product. The exact boiling point of intermediate II is not reported in the literature, but atmospheric boiling points around 300 ℃ are predicted. The boiling point actually measured by experiments is 130 +/-2 ℃/2mmHg, and the purification can be carried out by reduced pressure distillation or reduced pressure rectification. However, since the crude product contains not only the diol byproduct (III) with a higher boiling point, but also a small amount of 3-chloropropanediol, epichlorohydrin byproduct, solvent and the like, only by reduced pressure distillation, the improvement of the purity of the intermediate II is limited, and rectification and purification are required. Meanwhile, in the experimental process, the intermediate II is also found to have heat sensitivity, and the intermediate II is accompanied with thermal decomposition at the temperature of more than 160 ℃. This rectification process must therefore be carried out under high vacuum conditions and the internal temperature needs to be below 160 ℃. In order to reduce the thermal decomposition of the intermediate II in the rectification process, the intermediate II is purified by adopting a falling film rectification technology, so that the purity of the intermediate II reaches more than 99 percent, and then the intermediate II is put into the next step for use.
Figure BDA0002861807780000031
In the invention, the 1- (2, 3-epoxypropoxy) -4- (2-methoxyethyl) benzene raw material is synthesized by a conventional method, and the content is about 96 percent.
Preferably, in the step (1), the pressure during the vacuum rectification is less than 2mmHg, the temperature of a tower bottom is less than 160 ℃, and the theoretical plate number of the rectification tower is controlled to be 2-5.
Preferably, in the step (1), the concentration of the 1- (2, 3-epoxypropoxy) -4- (2-methoxyethyl) benzene in the ethanol solution is 10-20%.
Preferably, in the step (2), the ethanol solution of the 1- (2, 3-epoxypropoxy) -4- (2-methoxyethyl) benzene is preheated, mixed with preheated isopropylamine through a mixer and then enters a pipeline reactor for reaction.
Further, the ethanol solution of the 1- (2, 3-epoxypropoxy) -4- (2-methoxyethyl) benzene is preheated to 80-95 ℃; preheating the isopropylamine to 50-65 ℃; the reaction temperature of the pipeline reactor is 90-100 ℃.
When II is reacted with isopropylamine, the product I is a secondary amine which can still be reacted with II to form a dimeric by-product IV. The by-product can also form salts with succinic acid or tartaric acid, which affects the quality of the product, and the generation of the by-product needs to be minimized through process optimization. The by-product formation can be reduced to some extent by the amount of isopropylamine used during the reaction, but the reduction ratio is limited. It is also desirable to avoid side reactions of the product with II by increasing the reaction temperature so that isopropylamine reacts rapidly with II in a pipeline reactor at elevated temperatures under plug flow conditions. The using amount of the isopropylamine is increased, and the proportion of a by-product IV is effectively reduced by realizing a plug flow reaction.
Figure BDA0002861807780000041
Preferably, in the step (2), the molar ratio of the 1- (2, 3-epoxypropoxy) -4- (2-methoxyethyl) benzene to the isopropylamine is 1: 5-1: 15.
as a further preference, in the step (3), the excess isopropylamine is recovered by means of atmospheric distillation; the content of isopropylamine in the recovered tower bottom liquid is less than 0.1 percent.
The invention also provides a preparation method of the metoprolol salt, which comprises the following steps:
(A) obtaining metoprolol in ethanol solution according to the method described above;
(B) mixing the ethanol solution of metoprolol with the ethanol solution of succinic acid or tartaric acid to form salt, and then carrying out post-treatment to obtain the metoprolol salt.
The metoprolol salt is metoprolol succinic acid or metoprolol tartaric acid.
Preferably, in step (B), the molar ratio of metoprolol to succinic acid or tartaric acid is 1: 0.49-1: 0.51.
preferably, in step (B), the post-treatment comprises: filtering to remove insoluble substances, and cooling and crystallizing the filtrate to directly obtain metoprolol.
Compared with the prior art, the invention aims to overcome the defects of reaction synthesis of metoprolol, long reaction time, more byproducts and the like in the prior art. The purity of the intermediate II is improved through rectification, and the high-purity, colorless and transparent intermediate II is obtained, so that the steps of decoloring and recrystallizing in the subsequent production process can be avoided, and the production efficiency is improved; by adopting the measures of increasing the dosage of isopropylamine during amination reaction and carrying out plug flow reaction at high temperature, the generation of a by-product IV is effectively reduced, so that the purity of an aminated compound I synthesized by reaction directly reaches more than 98.5 percent, and the purity of a product directly meets the standard requirement of a raw material medicament through a salt-forming crystallization process with succinic acid or tartaric acid. The continuous reaction is carried out at high temperature in a pipeline way, so that the time is greatly shortened, the quality and the yield of the product are improved, and the operation is simple and environment-friendly.
