The preparation method of intermediate for halofuginone
Technical field
The present invention relates to the preparation method of intermediate for halofuginone.
Background technology
Halofuginone hydrobromide (Halofuginone, Hal) is a kind of quinazoline ketones alkaloid, and it is the halo derivatives of febrifugin(e), generally its hydrobromate commonly used.Halofuginone hydrobromide has strong insecticidal activity, and multiple chicken coccidia is all had stronger inhibitory or killing effect.The halofuginone hydrobromide that adds 3ppm concentration in the feed can effectively be controlled 6 kinds of chicken Eimerias, can obviously control the coccidiosis clinical symptom after the medication, and suppresses egg capsule fully and discharge, and makes environment no longer contaminated, thereby reduces the possibility that infects again.(referring to J.Johnson, et al, Exp parasitol, 1970,28:30; J.Grant, etel.Parasitology Research, 1991,77:595)
Along with going deep into for halofuginone hydrobromide drug effect and pharmacological research, it is found that it can be suppressed to the synthetic type i collagen fiber of fibrocyte different in naturely, a kind of novel type i collagen synthetic inhibitor (referring to G.Spira, et al.J.Hepatol.2002,37:331).Halofuginone hydrobromide also can be used as the treatment research that medicine is used for the cancers such as bladder, prostate gland, mammary gland, skin, lung (referring to Z.Garish, et al.Prostate, 2002,51:73).
Halofuginone hydrobromide synthetic has several different methods, and wherein two kinds of methods commonly used are as follows:
Method 1:
Wherein, compd B
1Middle R is methyl or benzyl.
Method 2:
Wherein, compd B
1And B
2All can prepare by Compound D:
Wherein, compd B
1Middle R is methyl or benzyl.
Therefore, Compound D has important using value as the key intermediate of synthetic halofuginone hydrobromide.
The people such as Takeuchi have delivered the preparation method of Compound D and C at Synthesis among 1999, the 10:1814, its synthetic route is as follows:
Specifically comprise the following steps:
Step (1) splashes into Benzyl Chloride in the toluene solution of 3-pyridone, reflux 1 hour, and cooling is filtered, and the gained solid obtains compound G with ethyl acetate and ether washing, and yield is more than 90%;
Step (2) is dissolved in methyl alcohol with compound G and allyl bromide 98, adds sodium hydride in batches, reflux 4 hours.Be chilled to about 0 ℃, add NaBH in batches
4, stirred 0.5 hour under the room temperature.Reaction solution with 10% hcl acidifying, is used saturated KHCO again
3The solution alkalization through ethyl acetate extraction, drying, filtration, concentrated, purification by silica gel column chromatography, obtains compound F 17-hydroxy-corticosterone, and yield is more than 60%;
Step (3) under 0 ℃, is added drop-wise to 5~6eq. chloroformic acid benzyl ester in tetrahydrofuran (THF) (THF) solution of compound F 17-hydroxy-corticosterone, stirs 1 hour under room temperature after adding.Pour reaction solution into saturated KHCO
3In the solution, ethyl acetate extraction, drying, filtration, concentrated, purification by silica gel column chromatography [eluent: normal hexane: ethyl acetate=(0~30): (1~5)] obtain compd E, yield 90%.This is called Van Braun reaction by the reaction of benzyl on the carbalkoxy substituted nitrogen atom;
Step (4) under the argon shield, is dissolved in acetonitrile with compd E, under the room temperature, drips BF
3OEt
2Solution keeps stirring at room that the Claisen rearrangement reaction namely occured in 1.5 hours.Reaction finishes, and pours reaction solution into saturated KHCO
3In the solution, ethyl acetate extraction, purification by silica gel column chromatography (eluent: normal hexane: ethyl acetate=3: 1), obtain Compound D, yield 73%;
Step (5) is dissolved in methyl alcohol with Compound D, adds NaBH in batches
4Reduction obtains Compound C through aftertreatment, yield 97%.
There is following defective in above-mentioned preparation method:
A. in the step (3), the chloroformic acid benzyl ester amount that Van Braun reacts used is very large, is about 6 times of compound F 17-hydroxy-corticosterone amount of substance, and nonetheless, raw material also can't complete reaction.The existence of excessive chloroformic acid benzyl ester brings very large difficulty for the column chromatography for separation of product, need to use long chromatography column, carries out long gradient elution and just can be separated to sterling, and the repeatability of reaction is also poor;
B. in the step (3), the used excessive chloroformic acid benzyl ester of Van Braun reaction does not reclaim, and this reagent price is more expensive, increased the cost of reaction, and the toxicity of chloroformic acid benzyl ester large, have irritating smell, when preparing compd E in a large number, can cause detrimentally affect to environment;
C. in the step (4), the solvent acetonitrile toxicity of Claisen rearrangement reaction is larger, and reclaims, and in the pollution that has aggravated environment, has also increased reaction cost.
Summary of the invention
Technical problem to be solved by this invention is that to have overcome the consumption of the chloroformic acid benzyl ester that exists among the preparation method of existing intermediate for halofuginone too much, reaction is difficult to carry out fully, the aftertreatment difficulty, yield is not high, need to use the larger solvent of toxicity, cost is higher, seriously polluted, the defective that is unfavorable for extensive preparation, and provide a kind of preparation method of new intermediate for halofuginone, the method is so that Van Braun reaction can be carried out complete, reduced simultaneously the consumption of chloroformic acid benzyl ester, improved the efficient of reaction, and can in Claisen rearrangement reaction subsequently, optionally obtain the product of 2-position.In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, simplified operating process by one kettle way, reduced the consumption of solvent, improved selectivity, reduced the cost of reaction, reduced the pollution to environment, for good condition has been created in the scale operation of halofuginone hydrobromide.
