Description

Method for preparing 6-chloro-5-nitro-1-hydro-indazole
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the field of drug synthesis, and particularly relates to a method for preparing 6-chloro-5-nitro-1-hydro-indazole.
Background
Coronaviruses (coronavirus) belong to the genus coronaviruses of the family coronaviridae in a systematic classification, and mature coronaviruses are coronal or coronal under an electron microscope, and are named coronaviruses, which are likely to cause central nervous system diseases, common cold, lower respiratory tract infection and diarrhea. Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus type 2 (SARS-CoV-2) is a highly pathogenic, large-scale epidemic of zoonosis. The novel coronavirus pneumonia caused by SARS-CoV-2 (COVID-19) in the global pandemic, variants such as the Deltay and Oromkronn variants (Omicron) continue to emerge, leading to diminished or even ineffective protection of the new corona vaccine.
Symptoms of SARS-CoV-2 virus infection range from asymptomatic disease to moderate and severe pneumonia, as well as life-threatening complications including hypoxic respiratory failure, acute respiratory distress syndrome, multiple system organ failure, and ultimately death. At present, the prevention and cure of virus mainly depend on vaccine and medicine. The vaccine itself has certain limitations: the immunization rate is low, and effective group immunity is difficult to generate; the immunity hardly generates effective immunity for high risk people, such as the elderly and people with immunodeficiency; due to the lack of post-translational correction mechanisms of viral RNA polymerase, development of new vaccines is continually ongoing in the face of continuous viral mutations, and it is difficult to generate sufficient amounts of new vaccines in a short time at the early stage of rapid epidemic. Therefore, antiviral drug research remains a hot topic in the field of antiviral research.
The non-covalent Mpro small molecule inhibitor S-217662 (CAS: 2647530-73-0) reported by Nippon salt Yeyi pharmaceutical Co, which currently has reported some positive clinical findings, is currently in clinical stage 2/3. The compound can obviously inhibit various SARS-CoV-2 variant strains including alpha, beta, gamma, omicron and the like, and shows that the compound has wide application potential as a therapeutic agent for treating new crowns. And S-217622 showed broad antiviral activity against a range of coronaviruses. The large-scale synthesis of S-217662 with high yield, high purity and low cost is of great significance.

Chinese patent application No. 202210418619.9 discloses a method for synthesizing 6-chloro-5-nitro-1-hydro-indazole, the route of which is shown below. The method takes a compound 1 as a starting material, the compound 1 is suspended in water (80 mL) and concentrated hydrochloric acid (25mL, 0.3 mol), naNO is added at 0 DEG C 2 Aqueous solution (6.9 g, 0.1mol) was added dropwise to the above solution, followed by stirring for 20min, filtration, pre-cooled NaBF 4 An aqueous solution (40 mL) (12.G, 0.1 mol) was added to the above filtrate, and the mixture was stirred for 40min. Stirring was stopped, filtration was carried out, the filter cake was washed with cold ethanol and diethyl ether, the filter cake was collected and dried to obtain a diazonium salt (11.5g, 0.05mol). Dissolving the diazonium salt in CHCl 3 (100 mL), KOAc (8.15g, 0.78mol) was added to the solution, and the mixture was stirred at room temperature for 2 hours to complete the reaction, and the stirring was stopped. The reaction was quenched with water (50 mL), extracted with DCM (50 mL. Times.3), the organic phases combined, washed with brine, anhydrous Na 2 SO 4 Drying, filtering, concentrating, and recrystallizing to obtain compound 2, namely 6-chloro-5-nitro-1-hydro-indazole.
