Description

Preparation method of epinephrine impurity
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of medicinal chemistry, in particular to a preparation method of epinephrine impurities.
Background
Epinephrine (adrenaline or epinephrine), which acts on alpha and beta adrenergic receptors, is the strongest alpha receptor activator. By acting on alpha-adrenergic receptors, epinephrine can minimize vasodilation and increase vascular permeability that occurs during allergic reactions, which can lead to reduced vascular content and hypotension. Epinephrine relaxes smooth muscle of bronchi and iris, a histamine antagonist useful for the treatment of allergic reactions and related diseases. Such drugs also increase blood glucose and increase glycogenolysis in the liver. By acting on the beta-adrenergic receptor, epinephrine causes bronchial smooth muscle relaxation, helping to relieve bronchospasm, wheezing, and dyspnea that may occur during allergic reactions. In addition to the above functions, epinephrine is the primary drug used to reverse cardiac arrest during cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR).
The target compound 2- (benzyl methyl amino) -3',4' -dihydroxyacetophenone is shown as a formula I, is an important intermediate in the synthesis process of epinephrine, is an important impurity of epinephrine, and is recorded in European pharmacopoeia and United states pharmacopoeia.
In performing drug quality testing, high purity impurities are required to be used as controls for controlling the quality of drugs that may contain the impurities. Therefore, known impurity compounds of high purity must be synthesized.
The synthesis and preparation method of the compound has few reports, and only documents [1,2] report at present.
Document one: USRE30241E, WO2009004593A2, DE2015573A1, US3904671A, US4138581A, FR2042295A1. The above six patents all report the preparation of impurity H using N, N-dimethylformamide as the reaction solvent, and the synthetic route is as follows:
Figure BDA0003988095760000021
and II, literature: DE524717C, dalgliesh, charles E.19.The synthesis of beta-phenyl series. Journal of the Chemical Society (Resumed), 1949,0,90-93.Doi:10.1039/JR9490000090. Both documents report a process for preparing impurity H using 2-chloro-3 ',4' -dihydroxyacetophenone as starting material, the synthetic route being as follows:

Among them, 2-chloro-3 ',4' -dihydroxyacetophenone is used as the starting material, and the synthesis conditions are limited because the raw materials are expensive and not easy to purchase.
Therefore, the invention mainly solves the problems related to the synthesis of epinephrine USP impurity H, and therefore, a preparation method of epinephrine impurity is provided.
