Description

Preparation method of R-lipoic acid
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the technical field of drug synthesis, and relates to a preparation method of R-lipoic acid.
Background
Alpha-lipoic acid is a compound which can eliminate free radicals for accelerating aging and pathopoiesia and is similar to vitamins, has the characteristics of water solubility and fat solubility, can assist coenzyme to perform physiological metabolism which is beneficial to organism immunity, and is a universal antioxidant drug. The alpha-lipoic acid has certain effects on treating liver diseases, diabetes, HIV virus, tumor, nervous system degeneration, radiation injury, arsenic, mercury, cadmium and other heavy metal poisoning and other diseases, for example, the alpha-lipoic acid can assist in treating type II diabetes to improve glucose metabolism of islet function, protect nerve cells, prevent cataract, prevent muscle injury and the like.
As shown in the following chemical formula, in the molecular structure of alpha-lipoic acid, one chiral carbon is present in position 3 of dithiolane, and has optical rotation, and the corresponding dextro (R) enantiomer and levo (S) enantiomer are generated. Studies have shown that these two enantiomers of alpha-lipoic acid exhibit different biological and pharmacological properties, wherein the R-form is far more bioactive than the S-form, and the S-form is essentially inactive, but is also free of toxic side effects, probably due to the fact that during metabolism of lipoic acid, a significant amount of R-lipoic acid can be reduced to dihydrolipoic acid through the cell membrane and mitochondrial membrane into cells and mitochondria, while only a small amount of S-form is reduced into cells. Dihydrolipoic acid has stronger antioxidant capacity than lipoic acid, and both the regeneration of endogenous antioxidants and the repair of oxidative damage can be realized through the form of dihydrolipoic acid. R-lipoic acid is a natural form of lipoic acid in human body, has better curative effect than racemic alpha-lipoic acid as a vitamin medicament, has more activity in treating type II diabetes mellitus, promoting skeletal muscle to absorb glucose, reducing plasma insulin and free fatty acid level, improving glycogen synthesis under the action of insulin, glucose oxidation, increasing oxygen content of blood flow of animals and the like, has wider prospect in preventing and treating heart diseases, diabetes mellitus, liver diseases, senile dementia and other diseases, and finally can completely replace the racemic alpha-lipoic acid, thereby becoming a commonly used medicament and nutritional supplement.
The synthesis method of R-lipoic acid is many, but the following three types are mainly adopted: firstly, the current industrial production method of R-lipoic acid uses 6, 8-dichloro ethyl octanoate as initial raw material, and adopts the processes of thio-reaction, cyclization and hydrolysis to obtain racemic alpha-lipoic acid, then uses resolving agent to make multiple resolution and refining so as to obtain the R-lipoic acid, and its yield is less than 50%. Although the racemization method of S-lipoic acid has been developed, the conversion of S-lipoic acid into mixed lipoic acid has severe requirements on actual production conditions, has corrosiveness on equipment, and has low yield, so that the production cost is high; secondly, 6, 8-dihydroxyoctanoic acid methyl ester or 6-hydroxy-8-chlorooctanoic acid methyl ester is used as a starting material to prepare methanesulfonic acid ester, and then R-lipoic acid is prepared by stereoselectivity, so that the process is complex, and particularly, pure products are not easy to obtain; thirdly, the racemized ethyl 6, 8-dichloro octoate is hydrolyzed into (+/-) dichloro octoate, and then the (+/-) dichloro octoate is sequentially split, re-thio-ed and cyclized by a splitting agent, so that the method can save the cost to a certain extent, but the cost is higher because about 50 percent of S- (-) -6, 8-dichloro octoate is still not utilized.
The prior art methods for synthesizing R-lipoic acid, including the three methods, have the defects of high cost, low yield and high raw material consumption, can not meet the requirement of industrial scale-up production, and have the defect of being not in line with the requirement of green environment-friendly production due to high waste emission.
In view of the above-described prior art, there is a need to continue to explore a method for synthesizing R-lipoic acid that overcomes the above-described deficiencies.
