Description

Preparation method of telmisartan intermediate
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the field of pharmaceutical chemicals, relates to a preparation method of a telmisartan intermediate, and in particular relates to a preparation method of a telmisartan intermediate 2-n-propyl-4-methyl-6- (1' -methylbenzimidazole-2-yl) benzimidazole (abbreviated as bisimidazole).
Background
Telmisartan is a novel antihypertensive drug, is a specific angiotensin II receptor (AT I type) antagonist, is used for treating primary hypertension, and can be used alone or in combination with other antihypertensive drugs. Telmisartan was developed by the company Boehringer Ingelheim (Boringer John) in Germany, first marketed in the United states in 1999, in Australia, belgium, england in 2000, and in our country in 2002.
Telmisartan (TELMISARTAN), trade name Micardis, chemical name: 4'- [ (1, 4' -dimethyl-2 '-propyl [2,6' -di-1H-benzoimidazole ] -1 '-yl) methyl ] - [1,1' -biphenyl ] -2-carboxylic acid, CAS number: 144701-48-4. Telmisartan has the structural formula:
Currently, the main process for preparing telmisartan is prepared by condensing and hydrolyzing 2-n-propyl-4-methyl-6- (1 '-methylbenzimidazol-2-yl) benzimidazole (i.e. bisimidazole) and 4' -bromomethyl biphenyl-2-carboxylate (r=ch 3、C2H5), or by condensing and hydrolyzing 2-n-propyl-4-methyl-6- (1 '-methylbenzimidazol-2-yl) benzimidazole (abbreviated as bisimidazole) and 2-cyano-4' -bromomethyl biphenyl. The 4 '-bromomethyl biphenyl-2-carboxylate and the 2-cyano-4' -bromomethyl biphenyl are easy to obtain, and the cost is relatively low and the process is simple; and the synthesis process of the bisimidazole is relatively difficult. At present, the synthetic route of 2-n-propyl-4-methyl-6-carboxyl benzimidazole (short: monoimidazole) surrounding bisimidazole or an intermediate for preparing bisimidazole is more, and mainly comprises the following methods:
The key intermediate bisimidazole of telmisartan is prepared by butyrylating, chloromethylating, sommelet reacting, cyclizing, nitrifying and reducing cyclizing by taking o-methylaniline as a raw material according to the paper published by Xu Jiang and the like, wherein the total yield of 7 steps of the reaction is 27.5% (calculated by o-methylaniline). The method has long route and low total molar yield, the process involves nitration and reduction reactions, has large environmental pollution, is not suitable for industrial production, and has no market competitiveness when used for preparing the bisimidazole.
Patent CN109320461A discloses a preparation method of 2-n-propyl-4-methyl-6-carboxyl benzimidazole, namely, in a hydrochloric acid and ethanol system at the temperature of 0-35 ℃, butyronitrile is prepared to obtain a mixture of an intermediate V and an intermediate IV under the action of anhydrous hydrogen chloride gas; in the presence of a base, converting the intermediate V into an intermediate IV, and reacting the intermediate IV with 3-methyl-4-aminobenzoic acid (a compound III) to prepare an intermediate II; and reacting the intermediate II with sodium hypochlorite solution to obtain 2-n-propyl-4-methyl-6-carboxyl benzimidazole (monoimidazole). In the route, hydrogen chloride gas is adopted in the preparation process of the intermediate V, so that the corrosiveness to equipment is extremely strong, and the hydrogen chloride gas is difficult to purchase and transport and is not suitable for industrial production. In addition, the experiments prove that the intermediate IV imidate is extremely unstable and easy to deteriorate, and is difficult to control in production.
The patent application CN104610161A takes 3-methyl-4-nitro-benzoic acid as a raw material, and is subjected to esterification, reduction, acylation, nitration, reduction and cyclization in sequence to obtain 2-N-propyl-4-methyl-6-carboxyl benzimidazole, and then is condensed with N-methyl o-phenylenediamine hydrochloride under the action of polyphosphoric acid to obtain 2-N-propyl-4-methyl-6- [ 1-methyl benzimidazole-2-yl ] benzimidazole. The route has eight steps, the reaction route is too long, the total molar yield is 34.6%, and the yield is low. The reaction involves ionic liquid 1-n-butyl-3-methylimidazole tetrafluoroborate [ bmim ] BF4, has strong irritation, has potential safety hazard in use, and is not suitable for industrial production.
In summary, the main characteristics of the existing bisimidazole preparation process are as follows:
(1) The preparation method is long in route, complex in operation and long in preparation period;
(2) The process has the advantages of long route, low total molar yield and high cost;
(3) Materials which are difficult to purchase or transport are involved in the reaction, and production is difficult to realize;
(4) The reaction involves compounds with high three wastes and great pollution, so that the three wastes in the production are treated with high cost, the total cost is high, and the market competitiveness is not realized;
(5) The process route relates to an intermediate which has poor stability and is difficult to store, the process is difficult to control, and industrial production cannot be realized.
Therefore, a preparation method of telmisartan intermediate bisimidazole, which is simple to operate, high in yield, low in cost and more suitable for industrial production, is needed in the field.
