Description

Preparation method of trimethoprim
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the technical field of medicine synthesis, and relates to a preparation method for preparing Trimethoprim (Trimethoprim) serving as a raw material medicine in high yield.
Background
The Trimethoprim (TMP) serving as a dihydrofolate reductase inhibitor can effectively prevent the reduction of dihydrofolate to tetrahydrofolate, stop DNA replication in a folate biosynthesis pathway, and cause cell death in the proliferation process of bacteria and pathogens. Therefore, trimethoprim is widely used in medical and livestock industries as an antibacterial agent and an antibacterial synergist.
Trimethoprim has been used as a classical dihydrofolate reductase inhibitor for over sixty years, and has been loaded in multinational pharmacopoeia and veterinary pharmacopoeia due to its good antibacterial effect and antibacterial synergism. Trimethoprim is an important raw material medicine variety in China, and recently, trimethoprim is expanded from the combined application of sulfonamide to the combined application of antimalarial medicines, antibiotics, antidiarrheal medicines and the like, has a synergistic effect, is widely applied to clinical treatment and livestock breeding industry, and becomes a prop product for the production of raw material medicines in China. The abuse of antibiotics is limited at home and abroad, and the dosage of trimethoprim in clinic and animal husbandry has an increasing trend year by year.
At present, the domestic industrial production route is based on the technological process implemented by patent application CN101575303a (Ji Yafei, mo Huan, square peak, duan Meili, xu Xu, a preparation method of 3-anilino-2- (3, 4, 5-trimethoxybenzyl) acrylonitrile), and the route is as follows:
the production process comprises the steps of preparing 3-dimethylamino-2- (3, 4, 5-trimethoxybenzyl) acrylonitrile (acrylonitrile dimethylamine condensate) by using 3-dimethylamine propionitrile and 3,4, 5-trimethoxybenzaldehyde under the catalysis of potassium hydroxide in a high yield, continuously adding aniline, replacing dimethylamino functional groups in the acrylonitrile dimethylamine condensate with aniline under the controlled acidic condition, and finally preparing a key intermediate 3-anilino-2- (3, 4, 5-trimethoxybenzyl) acrylonitrile (acrylonitrile aniline condensate) in a one-pot manner. In the latter process of production, the key intermediate acrylonitrile aniline condensate is cyclized with guanidine nitrate in sodium methoxide environment to prepare trimethoprim as the material medicine. The existing production process has higher yield of the main raw material 3,4, 5-trimethoxybenzaldehyde, but auxiliary raw materials such as dimethylamine, dimethyl sulfoxide, aniline and the like are needed, so that the energy consumption for recycling the auxiliary raw materials is high. Meanwhile, the key intermediate acrylonitrile aniline condensate needs to be separated and refined, liquid and solid wastes are correspondingly generated, and the process operation is complicated. Particularly, a great amount of carcinogenic chemical raw material aniline is used in the trimethoprim production process, so that the labor protection of workers and the quality control of the trimethoprim are extremely strict, and the process becomes a fatal weakness of the existing production process. Furthermore, the use of guanidine nitrate also presents a safety risk.
In view of this, there is an urgent need in the art for a process for preparing trimethoprim with the least complexity, low cost and high efficiency, which further reduces the consumption of expensive 3,4, 5-trimethoxybenzaldehyde, eliminates the use of auxiliary raw materials such as dimethylamine, dimethylsulfoxide, aniline, etc., reduces environmental pollution, and improves the labor protection and safety production level, so as to meet the needs of industrial departments for producing trimethoprim.

The concentration of the sodium hydroxide solution is 30 to 50%, preferably 40%.
The yield of the trimethoprim to the 3,4, 5-trimethoxybenzaldehyde can reach more than 92%.
The consumption of the glacial acetic acid is 3-6 times of the mass of the 3,4, 5-trimethoxybenzaldehyde.
The temperature for completing Knoevenagel condensation reaction is 0-60 ℃ and the reaction time is 4-24 hours; preferably at 20-35 ℃ for 6-12 hours.
The temperature for completing the cyclization reaction is 50-70 ℃ and the time is 2-6 h.
The deionized water is added and heated to 50-100 ℃ and stirred for dissolution, and the addition amount of the deionized water is 3-10 times, preferably 4 times, the mass of the 3,4, 5-trimethoxybenzaldehyde.
By adopting the technical scheme, the invention has the following advantages and beneficial effects:
the new preparation method of trimethoprim provided by the invention has reasonable design of synthesis process, high yield of main raw material 3,4, 5-trimethoxybenzaldehyde, further reduces consumption of expensive raw material 3,4, 5-trimethoxybenzaldehyde, eliminates use of dimethylamine, high boiling point solvent dimethyl sulfoxide, strong carcinogenic raw material aniline and explosive raw material guanidine nitrate, reduces environmental pollution, avoids separation and refining of reaction intermediates, is a green preparation process of trimethoprim with low cost, simple operation, good safety, high yield, low energy consumption, less environmental pollution and simple operation, improves labor protection and safety production level, and is more convenient for large-scale industrial production so as to meet the needs of industrial departments.
The method has the advantages of simple operation, high yield, good atomic economy, less environmental pollution, no auxiliary raw materials and the like; the method of the invention has the advantages of further reduced production cost, and direct preparation of trimethoprim in a one-pot manner, which can be said to be a green preparation method.
By using the preparation method, under the preferable condition, the yield of trimethoprim to 3,4, 5-trimethoxybenzaldehyde is generally over 92 percent, even can reach 96 percent; whereas the yield of trimethoprim to 3,4, 5-trimethoxybenzaldehyde in the prior art (CN 101575303A (Ji Yafei, mo Huan, square peak, duan Meili, xu Xu, a method for preparing 3-anilino-2- (3, 4, 5-trimethoxybenzyl) acrylonitrile)) was only about 83%.
Using the preparation method of the present invention, only 3,4, 5-trimethoxybenzaldehyde, 3-hydroxypropionitrile, guanidine carbonate and acetic acid are required to prepare trimethoprim; in addition to 3,4, 5-trimethoxybenzaldehyde, 3-dimethylaminopropionitrile, guanidine nitrate and sodium methoxide, the prior art also needs dimethyl sulfoxide and aniline auxiliary raw materials, and has high recovery energy consumption, much pollution and high requirements on labor protection and product quality. 3-hydroxy propionitrile can be prepared from acrylonitrile and water cleanly, while 3-dimethylaminopropionitrile is prepared from acrylonitrile and dimethylamine. The guanidine carbonate releases free guanidine in the reaction smoothly, and inorganic salt pollution is avoided; the use of guanidine nitrate has the potential risk of explosion, and sodium nitrate pollution is generated when free guanidine is released from the reaction system.
By using the preparation method, trimethoprim can be conveniently prepared in a one-pot manner, and the working hours, the energy consumption and the reaction equipment are saved; in the prior art, the prior art needs to prepare, separate and dry the intermediate of the acrylonitrile aniline condensate, and then carry out the cyclization process to prepare the trimethoprim, which is a relatively complicated production process.
