Description

Preparation method of sevoflurane
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the technical field of pharmaceutical chemistry, and particularly relates to an improved preparation method of sevoflurane.
Background
Sevoflurane (fluoromethyl-2, 2, 2-trifluoro-1- (trifluoromethyl) ethyl ether) is used as an inhalation general anesthetic, is colorless and transparent liquid, has the characteristics of quick unconsciousness and quick recovery, and is a clinical common anesthetic.
At present, the preparation methods of sevoflurane are reported, but the mature preparation methods all involve the use of strong-corrosion virulent gas hydrogen fluoride or strong acid with strong corrosion, have certain potential safety hazards to equipment and operators, and are not beneficial to large-scale industrial production. For example, U.S. patent No. 4469824, which produces sevoflurane by heating a mixture of concentrated sulfuric acid, hydrogen fluoride, paraformaldehyde and hexafluoroisopropanol; chinese patent CN1074759C, by heating concentrated sulfuric acid, hydrogen fluoride and (CF)3)2CHOCH2OCH3To prepare sevoflurane. The above patents all use hydrogen fluoride gas directly.
Chinese patent CN101337863A reports an optimized process for the preparation of sevoflurane by reacting hexafluoroisopropanol with dimethoxymethane in the presence of a catalyst and reacting the resulting intermediate methoxymethylene hexafluoroisopropyl ether with metal fluorides or other fluoride salts normally present in solid form in the presence of strong acid, which avoids the direct use of highly corrosive and virulent hydrogen fluoride gas, compared to the above process. However, the strong acid used in the reaction still has strong corrosiveness, for example, fuming sulfuric acid has the characteristics of being easy to cause explosion when meeting water, organic matters and oxidizing agents, and the like, and the reaction route is as follows:
Figure BDA0002857989300000011
in addition, chinese patent CN101314560A reports another sevoflurane preparation method, which does not use strong corrosive acid in the fluorination step of intermediate halomethyl-2, 2, 2-trifluoro-1- (trifluoromethyl) ethyl ether, but still uses strong acid such as sulfuric acid, hydrochloric acid, etc. in the preparation of the intermediate.
Figure BDA0002857989300000012
Although, chinese patent CN1431987A reports a method for preparing sevoflurane without strong acid, in which halogenated alcohol and dihalomethane are refluxed under alkaline condition to obtain intermediate, and then fluorinated under fluorinating agent condition to obtain sevoflurane, the dihalomethane used in the method has the same halogen atom, which is easy to form bis (1,1,1,3,3, 3-hexafluoroisopropoxy) methane, and the intermediate is difficult to be fluorinated to obtain sevoflurane, thus resulting in low yield and crude sevoflurane with high impurity content.
Although there are patents reporting sevoflurane obtained by directly using chloromethyl-2, 2, 2-trifluoro-1- (trifluoromethyl) ethyl ether as a raw material and performing fluorination reaction; although the reaction conditions are relatively mild and have relatively ideal reaction effects when a polyhydroxy compound such as diethylene glycol, triethylene glycol or ethylene glycol is used as a reaction activator and is reacted with a salt such as potassium fluoride or sodium fluoride in a solvent or non-solvent state, the amount of diethylene glycol and triethylene glycol used is large, and such a solvent containing a hydroxyl group is easily reacted with chloromethyl-2, 2, 2-trifluoro-1- (trifluoromethyl) ethyl ether, so that a large amount of impurity byproducts are generated, thereby affecting the yield and the quality of the product.
