Description

Riociguat synthesis method
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the field of chemical synthesis, relates to a preparation method of an sGC (partial gas chromatography) stimulant, and particularly relates to a preparation method of a compound 4, 6-diamino-2- [1- (2-fluorobenzyl) -1H-pyrazolo [3, 4-b ] pyridine-3-yl ] -5-pyrimidinyl-N-methyl carbamate (riociguat).
Background
4, 6-diamino-2- [1- (2-fluorobenzyl) -1H-pyrazolo [3, 4-b]Pyridin-3-yl]-5-pyrimidinyl-N-methylcarbamate is a novel soluble guanylate cyclase stimulator for cardiovascular diseases and pulmonary hypertension, and has the formula C20H19FN8O2Has a structure shown in formula I:
Figure BSA0000243637900000011
CN1665811A, US7173037B2 discloses a method for synthesizing riociguat, which comprises the following steps: the material 3 directly reacts with methyl chloroformate in an alkaline environment to obtain an intermediate 2, and the intermediate is subjected to hydrogen extraction by using sodium hydride or lithium hexamethyldisilazide and then reacts with methyl iodide to obtain riociguat. The synthetic route is as follows:
Figure BSA0000243637900000012
however, the following problems are found in the actual synthesis process: 1) pyridine is used as a solvent in the first step of reaction, and has high toxicity, and the odor of the pyridine is unbearable to operators; 2) the post-treatment is difficult, and the method is not suitable for industrial production; 3) sodium hydride or hexamethyldisilazane lithium amide is used as a dehydrogenating agent in the second step reaction, so that the price is high, the operation is unsafe, the generated impurities are many, and the product is required to be recrystallized for many times when the single impurity content is controlled to be below 0.1 percent, so that the loss is large. The literature uses column chromatography to improve the purity of the target product, and is not suitable for mass preparation.
The patent CN106831760A discloses a method for preparing riociguat, which takes a compound 2 as a raw material to react with a methylation reagent Me-X in the presence of alkali to prepare the riociguat.
Figure BSA0000243637900000021
In the preparation method, potassium carbonate is used as an alkaline catalyst, methyl iodide is used as a methylation reagent, and organic solvents such as N-methyl pyrrolidone and the like are used as reaction solvents. Although the synthesis process is greatly improved, the following problems still exist: the synthesized intermediate compound 2 is free alkali, the stability is not as good as that of hydrochloride thereof, especially, methyl ester of the intermediate compound is easy to perform cyclization reaction with ortho-amino in the reaction process to generate two impurities with the content of more than 5 percent, so that the generation amount of the product is reduced, and the two impurities are difficult to remove in the post-treatment and purification processes, and finally, the medical grade riociguat is difficult to obtain.
Thus, if the prior patented method is adopted to prepare the pharmaceutical grade riociguat product with the purity of more than 99 percent and the single impurity of less than 0.05 percent, the production cost is very high, and the problems of production safety, environmental damage and the like exist. After a large amount of process design and experimental optimization research, the inventor creatively overcomes the original technical problem, obtains a new Riociguat synthesis process, has the remarkable advantages of simple and convenient operation, easy purification, environmental protection, safe and efficient synthesis, high total yield, low production cost and the like, and is very suitable for industrialized production of Riociguat.
