Purification method of faviravir intermediate hydroxyl
Technical Field
The invention relates to the field of medicament purification, in particular to a purification method of a medicament intermediate, and particularly relates to a purification method of a faviravir intermediate hydroxyl compound (formula II).
Background
Faviravir (formula i), chemically named 6-fluoro-3-hydroxypyrazine-2-carboxamide, is a novel broad-spectrum antiviral drug developed by fushan chemical pharmaceuticals, japan to target RNA-dependent RNA polymerase (RdRp), approved for marketing in 3 months 2014 in japan for the treatment of new and recurrent influenza. The action mechanism of the Faviravir (formula I) is mainly that after entering the body, the Faviravir generates a nucleoside analogue triphosphate form under the action of a series of cellular phosphokinases, so that the replication and transcription of the virus are interfered. Researches find that the Vilarvir (formula I) has good inhibitory activity to various RNA viruses in vitro or in vivo, is expected to be developed and applied to treatment of various virus infections, and has good market prospect.
6-fluoro-3-hydroxy-2-cyanopyrazine (hydroxyl substance for short, formula II) is a high-grade intermediate for synthesizing bulk drug Vilarvir (formula I), and can be converted into Vilarvir (formula I) through one-step hydrolysis reaction, and the chemical reaction equation is as follows:
if the purity of the hydroxyl compound (formula II) is low, the difficulty of impurity removal of the finished product of the Lavir (formula I) is increased undoubtedly; meanwhile, the hydroxyl compound (formula II) is not easy to solidify and is easy to become oily, and the coating of the solvent can cause inaccurate feeding, thereby causing instability of the chemical reaction process. Therefore, it is difficult to obtain high purity solid hydroxy compound (formula II).
The Fuji film Fushan chemical company, published patent CN201510024656.1, identified in the art as a well-recognized problem, namely, "6-fluoro-3-hydroxy-2-cyanopyrazine (formula II) is soluble in water and various organic solvents and thus is not easily separated from the reaction mixture in high yield by simple operations", and thus it was selected to obtain the hydroxy organic amine salt (formula III) by salifying the hydroxy compound (formula II) with an organic amine. The treatment process can obtain hydroxyl organic ammonium salt (formula III) (the patent does not describe specific purity data), but the hydrolysis process related to the subsequent preparation method Vilarvir (formula I) needs to try to remove the added organic amine to obtain free hydroxyl (formula II), so that the unnecessary production cost of the Favilavir (formula I) is increased, the organic amine is expensive due to the use of the organic amine in a molar equivalent, and the cost of wastewater treatment is increased due to the use of the organic amine.
Fushan chemical industry Co., Ltd discloses patent CN201180053816.5, which adopts a new chemical reaction to prepare hydroxyl compound (formula II), but the precursor compound (formula IV) has a complex structure and needs a plurality of chemical reactions to prepare the hydroxyl compound, and the preparation method needs to use ion exchange resin DOWEX to pass through a column for purification treatment, thereby limiting the industrialization amplification of the technology.
