Purpose of the present invention: the method that existing document route adopts is first synthetic intermediate VIII, and hydrolysis obtains IX again.And easily participating in later reaction simultaneously, two active H in the structure of IX make product complicated.Adopt methods such as protection, deprotection base that a lot of side reactions are also arranged, the purpose of this invention is to provide a kind of new synthesis method that can overcome the candesartan Cilexetil of above-mentioned shortcoming, and can carry out scale operation.
The present invention has found the synthetic route preferably of a preparation candesartan Cilexetil, has solved the problems referred to above effectively.Existing preparation route be earlier with the hydrolysis again of intermediate compound IV elder generation's tetrazoleization, go up protecting group, become ester, deprotection.We find, if earlier IV hydrolysis, one-tenth ester are gone up the tetrazole ring again, then can avoid two active H among the IX to participate in reaction simultaneously, and intermediate V also has only a kind of esterification products with the ester reaction that becomes of carbonic acid 1-iodine ethyl cyclohexyl ester.This route has saved N-protected and the deprotection reaction on the tetrazole ring; the problem that neither has selective protection; also avoided in the protective reaction might by product generation; more there is not the problem that candesartan Cilexetil is decomposed in the deprotection reaction; thereby saved the post lock out operation; also make the corresponding raising of yield and quality product, be suitable for scale operation.
