Description

Racemization method of optically pure isobutyl succinonitrile
(I) technical field
The invention relates to a racemization method of optically pure isobutyl succinonitrile.
(II) background of the invention
Pregabalin (Pregabalin), chemically known as (S) -3-aminomethyl-5-methylhexanoic acid, is a structural analog of gamma-aminobutyric acid developed by Pfizer, inc. Pregabalin is one of the best global prescription drugs, and is widely used for treating diseases such as postherpetic neuralgia, paroxysmal epilepsy and anxiety.
The nitrilase method resolution process route is one of the most competitive routes for synthesizing pregabalin, and has the advantages of easily obtained raw materials, high atom economy, less three-waste emission and the like (ZL 201810136409.4). When different selective nitrilases split isobutyl succinonitrile to synthesize optically pure 3-cyano-5-methylhexanoic acid, (R) -or (S) -isobutyl succinonitrile can be obtained, wherein the (S) -3-cyano-5-methylhexanoic acid can be further hydrogenated to synthesize pregabalin.
Figure BDA0003198766830000011
(S) -or (R) -isobutyl succinonitrile as an ineffective isomer, if the (S) -or (R) -isobutyl succinonitrile cannot be effectively recycled, the production cost and the environmental protection pressure are greatly increased. In order to further improve the utilization rate of raw materials, the development of the racemization technology of (S) -and (R) -isobutyl butanedinitrile is of great significance.
Figure BDA0003198766830000021
At present, the method for catalyzing racemization of (R) -isobutyl succinonitrile by using a homogeneous catalyst is reported at home and abroad. The company pfeiffe reports that (R) -isobutyl succinonitrile, 1, 8-diazabicyclo [5.4.0] undec-7-ene (DBU) and toluene were mixed, refluxed at high temperature for 2 hours, added with water, and the resulting mixture was extracted with ethyl acetate. The organic extract was washed with 5% HCl and saturated sodium chloride, and racemic isobutyl succinonitrile (CN1942587B) was dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate. In addition, patent US2005283023 also reports a method for racemizing ethyl (R) -3-cyano-2-carbethoxy-5-methylhexanoate by using sodium ethoxide as a catalyst. Zhangqin et al reported a racemization method of (R) -isobutyl succinonitrile, mixing 20% sodium ethoxide with (R) -isobutyl succinonitrile, heating and refluxing at 45 ℃ for 4h, and rectifying after extraction to obtain racemic isobutyl succinonitrile (Organic Process Research & Development,2019,23, 2042-. However, the homogeneous catalysis racemization method has more defects: the catalyst is difficult to recover, and after racemization, isobutyl succinonitrile needs to be separated and purified through multiple steps of extraction, acid washing, filtration, concentration and the like, so that a large amount of waste acid and waste water are generated. Therefore, there is a need to develop a green, efficient and optically pure racemization method of isobutylsuccinonitrile.
