Technical Field
The invention relates to a preparation method of a sitagliptin intermediate, belonging to the technical field of synthesis of drug intermediates.
Background
Sitagliptin is a dipeptidyl peptidase-1V (DPP-1V) inhibitor developed by the company mershato usa, and has the chemical name of (3R) -3-amino-1- [3- (trifluoromethyl) -5,6,7, 8-tetrahydro-1, 2, 4-triazolo [4,3-a ] pyrazin-7-yl ] -4- (2,4, 5-trifluorophenyl) butan-1-one, and the CAS number of 486460-32-6. In 2006, 10 months, sitagliptin was approved by the FDA in the united states for marketing as the first dipeptidyl enzyme-4 (DPP-4) inhibitor type ii diabetes treatment drug.
The 3-trifluoromethyl-5, 6,7, 8-tetrahydro-1, 2, 4-triazolo [4, 3-a ] pyrazine hydrochloride is a key intermediate used in the synthesis of sitagliptin, and the structural formula is shown as follows:
currently, there are several main ways for the synthesis of the sitagliptin intermediate. For example, the synthetic route disclosed in the patent (publication No. WO2004103276A) is that glycine methyl ester and 2- (N-tert-butoxycarbonyl) aminoacetaldehyde are subjected to reductive amination, benzyloxycarbonyl chloride protects a secondary amino group, tert-butoxycarbonyl is removed under acidic conditions, cyclization is performed under the action of trimethylaluminum, and methylation, cyclization and the like are performed after deprotection by hydrogenolysis, and the synthetic route is as follows:
the reaction steps of the route are more and complicated, and expensive methylating reagent (trimethyl oxonium tetrafluoroborate) and palladium carbon are needed.
As reported in the prior literature, the synthetic route of the method is as follows, wherein pyrazine chloride is used as a raw material to be subjected to hydrazinolysis, trifluoroacetic anhydride acylation, polyphosphoric acid cyclization and palladium-carbon catalytic hydrogenation reduction with hydrazine hydrate:
however, the synthesis route also uses expensive palladium-carbon, and the use of hydrogen has certain danger, which is not beneficial to safe production.
As another example, the conventional synthesis route is shown in org.Lett.,2005, (6):1039-1042, which is prepared by hydrazinolysis, phosphorus oxychloride cyclization, ethylenediamine nucleophilic substitution and methanol hydrochloride cyclization from ethyl trifluoroacetate, hydrazine hydrate and chloroacetyl chloride as raw materials, and comprises the following steps:
The synthesis route is mainly adopted in domestic enterprises and has the advantage of short synthesis route, but the reaction conditions during dehydration and cyclization are severe, phosphorus oxychloride with strong corrosivity and high toxicity is used, dehydration and cyclization can be completed only at high temperature, and after-treatment is carried out, the cracking by using ice water is dangerous to a certain extent, a large amount of phosphorus-containing wastewater which is difficult to treat is generated, and the problem of great environmental pollution is solved.
