Technical Field
The invention belongs to the technical field of industrial synthesis production of Iguratimod, and particularly relates to a method suitable for industrial production of Iguratimod.
Background

currently, four main synthetic routes for Iguratimod are described in detail in chemistry select2020,5,13916-13918 for route one, route two and route three mentioned in this invention:
the synthesis route I is as follows:
taking 4-chloro-3-nitroanisole as shown in formula 2 as a starting material, taking sodium hydride as alkali, and nucleophilic substitution of a product generated by the reaction of phenol and 4-chloro-3-nitroanisole to generate 4-phenoxy-3-nitroanisole; reducing into 4-phenoxy-3-aminoanisole in a reaction system of iron powder and hydrochloric acid; then reacting with methanesulfonyl chloride to generate 4-phenoxy-3-methanesulfonylaminoanisole shown in formula 3; under the catalysis of anhydrous aluminum trichloride, 4-phenoxy-3-methanesulfonamido anisole shown in the formula 3 in the previous step reacts with aminoacetonitrile hydrochloride to generate N- [4- (2-aminoacetyl) -5-methoxy-2-phenoxyphenyl ] methanesulfonamide hydrochloride shown in the formula 4; formylating with mixed anhydride in weak alkaline system to form N- [4- (2-formylaminoacetyl) -5-methoxy-2-phenoxyphenyl ] methanesulfonamide shown in the formula 5; selectively demethylating in an anhydrous aluminum trichloride, sodium iodide and acetonitrile system to produce N- [4- (2-formamidoacetyl) -5-phenolic hydroxy-2-phenoxyphenyl ] methanesulfonamide shown in formula 6; finally, the Iguratimod is reacted with DMFDMA to produce the final product Iguratimod shown in the formula 1. The whole process comprises 7 chemical reactions in total, namely nucleophilic substitution reaction, nitro reduction, methanesulfonylation, houben-Hoesch reaction, formylation, methoxy demethylation and cyclization, and has more reaction steps and long product period.
The synthesis route II is as follows:
carrying out Friedel-crafts acylation reaction on 4-phenoxy-3-methanesulfonamido anisole shown in a formula 3 and acetyl chloride under the catalysis of anhydrous aluminum trichloride, and heating to 110 ℃ after the reaction is finished to carry out demethylation to obtain an intermediate acetyl product shown in a formula 7; at room temperature, 70% HClO was used 4 Treating a stirred suspension of an acetyl product in triethyl orthoformate, and filtering and washing a crystal precipitate generated by the reaction by using diethyl ether to obtain an intermediate pyrone of a formula 8; the intermediate pyrone of the formula 8 is hydrogenated and reduced into the intermediate cyclic ketone of the formula 9 under the catalysis of palladium carbon; intermediate 9Cyclic ketones and Br 2 Bromination reaction is carried out, and product solid is recrystallized through toluene to obtain intermediate bromide in the formula 10; intermediate bromide and NaN 3 Amination is carried out in DMF to obtain an amination product of formula 11, and the obtained amination product of formula 11 is reacted with formylating agent to obtain the target product Iguratimod of formula 1. The whole process is subjected to 6 steps of reactions, more impurities are generated by bromination, the catalyst required by hydrogenation is expensive, and the middle process also uses inflammable and explosive substances sodium azide, so that the method is not beneficial to industrial production and safety of operators.
The synthesis route III:
4-phenoxy-3-methanesulfonamido anisole shown in the formula 3 and N-methyl formanilide are subjected to Wilsmeier-Hake reaction formylation in phosphorus oxychloride to generate a compound shown in the formula 16, the compound shown in the formula 16 is subjected to demethylation under the action of boron tribromide to obtain a compound shown in the formula 17, the compound shown in the formula 17 and bromoacetonitrile are subjected to condensation reaction to obtain a compound shown in the formula 18, the compound shown in the formula 18 is subjected to cyclization reaction under the action of DBU to obtain a compound shown in the formula 19, and the compound shown in the formula 19 is subjected to formylation to obtain the Iguratimod shown in the formula 1 as a final product. The route has 5 steps of reactions, the intermediate process uses low-temperature conditions (-20 ℃), and the utilization rate of the adopted chemical reagent is not high, which is not beneficial to industrial production.
The synthesis route is four:
acetylate an intermediate of formula 7 and Br 2 Reacting the intermediate bromide of the formula 12 with urotropine in methylene dichloride at room temperature for 15h to form salt, dissolving the intermediate product of the formula 12 into 30% concentrated hydrochloric acid and absolute ethyl alcohol mixed solution, and continuously reacting at room temperature for 72h to obtain the intermediate amino hydrochloride of the formula 14. The remaining two steps are the same as in scheme one, and are first formylated to give formula 15And (3) cyclizing the intermediate compound shown in the formula 15 with DMFDMA to obtain the target product Iguratimod. The route is 6 steps of reactions, the reaction route is longer, the bromination side reaction is more and is not easy to purify, and the two steps of reactions in the route have too long reaction time and low yield, so that the method is not suitable for industrial production.
