Detailed Description
Catalytic hydrogenation is a common method used early to reduce folic acid to tetrahydrofolate. However, the method uses noble metal as a catalyst, has high price, high reaction activation energy and harsh reaction conditions, and meanwhile, the product also needs chiral resolution, so that the application of the method is greatly limited.
In view of the above, the asymmetric reduction method has been developed in recent years as a new method for efficiently constructing chemical bonds such as saturated carbon-carbon bonds and carbon-nitrogen bonds. The chinese patent with publication No. CN113603691a discloses an asymmetric hydrogenation catalytic mode of folic acid, and this synthetic route uses folic acid as raw material, and reduces to generate (6S) -tetrahydrofolic acid under the action of Rh procatalyst and diphosphine ligand system, and the yield of (6S) -tetrahydrofolic acid is 90.0%. Also, this patent discloses a synthetic route for 6S-5-methyltetrahydrofolate, in which (6S) -5, 10-methyltetrahydrofolate is first cyclized under the catalysis of trifluoroacetic acid and then ring-opened to give 6S-5-methyltetrahydrofolate. The catalytic system of the patent has relatively poor stereoselectivity, the diastereoisomer excess value is more than 86 percent, and the chiral resolution is still needed to assist in purifying the target configuration. Meanwhile, the method has complex whole process and multiple steps, and is not beneficial to industrial production.
Chinese patent publication No. CN1781919a discloses a process for preparing optically pure tetrahydropterin and its derivatives, especially optically pure tetrahydrofolate and its derivatives, by stereospecific hydrogenation, in which various ruthenium, rhodium etc. metal complex catalysts and various chiral ligands are disclosed, and examples are given to demonstrate that different catalysts and chiral ligand combinations differ in final yields and purities of the products in asymmetric catalytic hydrogenation reactions. In addition, for the synthesis of the tetrahydrofolic acid with the target configuration, corresponding folic acid ester or folic acid ester salt is synthesized from folic acid, and then the tetrahydrofolic acid with the corresponding configuration is obtained by hydrolysis after asymmetric catalytic hydrogenation, so that the reaction steps are increased, and the risk of generating benzenesulfonate gene toxic impurities is increased.
Based on the above circumstances, the present inventors developed a novel synthesis method of L-5-methyltetrahydrofolate and its calcium salt, using folic acid as a starting material, and adopting catalyst diiodium (p-cymene) ruthenium (II) dimer and chiral ligand (rp, rp) -1, 1-bis [ bis (4-methoxy-3, 5-xylyl) phosphino ] -2, 2-bis [ (R) -alpha- (dimethylamino) benzyl ] ferrocene to perform asymmetric hydrogenation reduction, thereby realizing high stereoselective synthesis of 6S-tetrahydrofolate. In addition, the system has high catalytic efficiency and low cost, and avoids material waste caused by chiral resolution. The crystallization conditions are controlled from two dimensions of crystallization temperature and crystallization mode, and the obtained product has stable crystal form and high purity. In addition, in the synthesis method, the 6S-tetrahydrofolate is reduced into the 6S-5-methyltetrahydrofolate in one step, and cyclization and ring opening are not needed. Meanwhile, the high-purity L-5-methyltetrahydrofolate calcium can be obtained without refining the 6S-5-methyltetrahydrofolate in the synthesis method. The method has the advantages of simple and convenient reaction operation, short steps, high efficiency, low cost and high safety coefficient, and is suitable for industrial production.
