Description

Preparation method of brivaracetam and intermediate compound
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the technical field of compound synthesis, and particularly relates to a preparation method of brivaracetam and an intermediate compound.
Background
Brivaracetam (Brivaracetam) is a third generation antiepileptic drug, belongs to a novel synaptic vesicle protein 2A (SV 2A) high affinity ligand, and has a certain inhibition effect on voltage-dependent sodium ion channels. In 2016, brivaracetam was FDA approved for the treatment of seizures, which had a better therapeutic effect on systemic seizures.
The structural formula of brivaracetam is as follows:
the prior art discloses a plurality of brivaracetam synthesis methods, and the flow is summarized as follows:
1. technical route one: patent CN1882535a discloses a synthetic preparation method of brivaracetam, the synthetic route is as follows:
after the brivaracetam racemate is synthesized by the route, the brivaracetam racemate is purified and separated by utilizing a chromatographic column, so that the optical pure brivaracetam is obtained. Disadvantages of this route are: at least half of diastereoisomers need to be discarded, the atom economy is poor, and because the chromatographic column is high in price and limited in sample injection amount, the physical properties of all optical isomers are similar, so that the separation and purification effect is poor by adopting the chromatographic column, the batch processing capacity is small, the industrial amplification cost is high, and the low-cost mass production is difficult to realize.
2. Technical route II: benoit M. (J.Med. Chem.2004,47, 530-549) reported another synthetic method of brivaracetam, which was technically routed as follows:
this route also requires optical isomer resolution using chiral chromatography columns. Disadvantages of this route are: at least half of the diastereoisomers need to be discarded, the atom economy is poor, the purity of the brivaracetam racemate obtained by synthesis is low, the brivaracetam racemate can be recrystallized after coarse separation by silica gel, so that the brivaracetam racemate with high purity can be obtained, and then the brivaracetam racemate can be separated by chromatography of a chromatographic column. Similar to the first technical route, the second technical route has small batch processing capacity and high industrial amplification cost, and is difficult to realize low-cost mass production due to high price of the chromatographic column and limited separation effect.
3. Technical route three: the Shuoshi paper of China institute of pharmaceutical industry Zhou Chao, the synthesis research of antiepileptic drug brivaracetam, discloses a method for synthesizing and preparing brivaracetam, which comprises the following synthetic route:
however, this route has the following disadvantages: 1) The steps are complicated; the oxazolidone is used as chiral induction group, which has higher price and higher economic cost, and the oxazolidone is subjected to assembly and removal steps; 2) The second step requires reaction conditions of-70 ℃, the reaction conditions are severe, and large-scale production is difficult to realize; 3) Thirdly, hydrogen peroxide is used as peroxide, so that explosion risk exists; 4) And in the fourth step, dimethyl sulfide borane is used, so that the explosion risk exists, the pungent smell exists, and the safety and environmental protection risks exist.
As above, the prior art synthetic methods for preparing brivaracetam have the following general drawbacks:
1) After the racemate is synthesized, column chromatography separation is needed: this route requires discarding at least half of the diastereoisomers, with poor atomic economy; the separation difficulty of column chromatography is high, and the industrial scale-up production cost is high.
2) Oxazolidinone is used as chiral induction group: complicated steps and harsh reaction conditions; oxazolidinones are expensive and undergo assembly and removal steps at high cost.
3) The enzyme catalysis method is adopted: the chiral purity of the prepared final product is too low to meet the requirement of medicine.
4) The reaction conditions are harsh, and the safety is low.
Therefore, the development of the preparation method of the brivaracetam, which has the advantages of simple route, simple and convenient operation, low cost, safety and high purity of the prepared product, has important significance.
