Description

Method for synthesizing cholesterol by taking BA as raw material
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the technical field of organic chemical synthesis, and relates to a method for synthesizing cholesterol by using a plant source raw material 21-hydroxy-20-methyl pregn-4-ene-3-ketone (also called as di-noralcohol or BA (Bisnoralgolhol)) as a raw material.
Background
Cholesterol, also known as cholesterol, is widely found in animals, most notably in brain tissue. Cholesterol is an essential substance of animal tissue cells, is not only involved in the formation of cell membranes, but also is a raw material for synthesizing bile acid and steroid hormone, in particular a raw material for synthesizing vitamin D3, and is used as a pharmaceutical adjuvant (injection grade) and a food, feed additive and the like. Currently, cholesterol is commercially available from the brain and spinal cord of animals such as pigs, sheep, cattle, etc. or from lanolin. Researches find that the source of a plurality of diseases is animals, and particularly, as infection events such as mad cow disease, streptococcus suis and avian influenza occur, people pay more and more attention to the safety of cholesterol. If the upstream raw material for producing vitamin D3 is cholesterol, the European and American countries do not allow the use of brainstem cholesterol as the raw material for a long time because of epidemic risks, and China also limits the use of the brainstem cholesterol raw material from 7 months and 1 day in 2020. Therefore, there is an urgent need to develop a plant-derived, safe, green method for cholesterol synthesis.
The chemical synthesis of cholesterol has been reported mainly as follows:
(1) cholesterol (CN 1772760A, shown in Scheme 1) was synthesized in a total yield of 61% by 6 steps of reaction using diosgenin as a raw material. The route has relatively high raw material price, complicated steps, and large toxicity and pollution of used reagents, and is not suitable for industrial production.
Figure BDA0003384687190000011
(2) The stigmasterol degradation product is used as a raw material, and the cholesterol is synthesized with the total yield of 67 percent through 5 steps of reaction, (CN105218610A, shown in the Scheme 2). However, the applicant of the present invention has experimentally shown that the following problems exist in the route: in the first step of the reaction, triethyl orthoformate is adopted to carry out etherification protection on the C-3 carbonyl group, so that the selectivity is poor, and the side chain aldehyde group is easy to react to form an acetal compound (see the 'comparative example I' in the summary of the invention). Thus, the feasibility of this route presents serious problems.
Figure BDA0003384687190000021
(3) The pregnenolone is used as a raw material, and the total yield of the pregnenolone is 72% to synthesize the cholesterol through 4 steps of reaction, (CN 105218609A, shown in a Scheme 3), the route uses a noble metal rhodium catalyst and a chiral phosphine ligand, and is expensive and not suitable for large-scale industrial production.
Figure BDA0003384687190000022
(4) Pregnenolone is used as a raw material, cholesterol is synthesized with the total yield of 80% through 2-step reaction, (CN 104961788A, shown in a Scheme 4), the route also uses a noble metal rhodium catalyst and a chiral phosphine ligand, and the cost is high, so that the method is not suitable for large-scale industrial production.
Figure BDA0003384687190000031
(5) Using stigmasterol as raw material, synthesizing cholesterol with total yield of 68% (CN 105237603A, shown in Scheme 5) by 5-step reaction, wherein O is used in the synthesis process3Higher requirements are put on monitoring reaction and equipment, and the economy and the safety are not good enough.
Figure BDA0003384687190000032
(6) Using stigmasterol as raw material, synthesizing cholesterol with total yield of 70% by 4-step reaction, (CN 106632565A, shown in Scheme 6), the route also uses O3The process difficulty is increased, higher requirements are put on monitoring reaction and equipment, and the economy and the safety are poor.
Figure BDA0003384687190000041
The currently reported synthetic routes of cholesterol have the defects of complicated operation, high pollution, expensive price of used catalysts or problems in some operation steps, and the like, so the reported synthetic routes are not suitable for industrial production. Meanwhile, due to the occurrence of diseases such as mad cow disease, streptococcus suis infection and the like, people pay more and more attention to the safe production of cholesterol, so that the research and development of the efficient, green and economic cholesterol synthesis method based on plant source raw materials has important significance and industrial value.

According to the experimental method provided by the patent document, the ethanol is used as a solvent, the compound 02 is used as a substrate, the reaction is carried out for 4 hours at 40 ℃ under the catalysis of p-toluenesulfonic acid and triethyl orthoformate, the TLC detects that the raw materials are completely reacted (as shown in figure 1), and the compound 03' (shown in a reaction formula II) is obtained by post-treatment according to the method of the patent document (CN105218610A), which is different from the compound described in the patent document. In the present invention, it was also attempted to reduce the amount of triethyl orthoformate, and the TLC detection showed that the starting material reaction was complete (as shown in fig. 2), but the result of the reaction formula one as described in patent document (CN105218610A) was not obtained, but the result of the reaction formula three as shown below was obtained. It is described that when the carbonyl group at the 3-position of compound 02 is protected according to the method reported in patent document CN105218610A, the aldehyde group at the C-22 position is preferentially protected to form acetal, and compounds 03 'and 03' represented by the reaction formula II or III are formed, and the compound 03 described in patent document (CN105218610A) cannot be obtained, and it is obvious that the compounds 03 'and 03' represented by the reaction formula II or III cannot undergo the subsequent Wittig reaction.
