EXAMPLE 1 pretreatment of the reaction solution to give crude Compound I
In the embodiment, the method for obtaining the crude product of the compound I with higher purity and good recovery rate is searched through researching the solvent consumption of the reaction, the water consumption in the pretreatment process and the consumption proportion of the solvent and the water.
The reaction for preparing compound I was carried out by dissolving SN38 (1.0 equivalent) in methylene chloride (mass 10 to 25 times the mass of SN 38), then adding N, N-diisopropylethylamine (3.0 equivalent) and t-butyldimethylchlorosilane (2.4 equivalent), and stirring the resulting mixture at room temperature for 2.0 hours, and monitoring the reaction end point by TLC.
After the reaction, the obtained reaction solution was pretreated by the following steps:
step1, adding purified water with the mass of 10-25 times of the SN38 reaction feeding amount into the reaction liquid obtained according to the operation steps, stirring for 1h at 25 ℃, and standing for layering to obtain an organic layer and a water layer;
And step 2, drying the separated organic layer by using anhydrous sodium sulfate, and concentrating in vacuum at the concentration temperature of 35-45 ℃ to obtain a pretreated crude solid.
The solvent amount and the water amount in the pretreatment process of the above reaction, and the purity and recovery rate of the pretreated crude product obtained after the pretreatment are shown in Table 2.
TABLE 2 influence of the amount of solvent used on the purity and recovery of the pretreated crude product
The method can obtain the crude product of the compound I with better purity (87.5%) with better recovery rate (> 80%) under the conditions that the dosage (mass) of the reaction solvent methylene dichloride is 10-15 times of the dosage of the SN38 and the dosage (mass) of water in the pretreatment process is 10-15 times of the dosage of the SN 38.
Examples 2-1 to 2-8 and comparative examples 2-1 to 2-5 selection of the kind of solvent for further purification of crude pretreatment of Compound I
In this example, a solvent composition suitable for further purification by beating the solid obtained by pretreatment was found on the basis of pretreatment of the reaction solution with the solvent ratio obtained in example 1. The method comprises the following specific steps:
Step 1, pretreating the reaction solution obtained according to the method of the example 1 according to the method of the pretreatment step 1 of the example 1 to obtain a layered two-phase system (the solvent consumption of the reaction and the water consumption in the pretreatment process are the same as those of the numbers 1-2 of the example 1);
Step 2, washing the organic layer obtained by liquid separation with purified water or saturated saline water with the mass which is 15 times of the feeding amount of SN38 for 3 times, drying the organic layer by anhydrous sodium sulfate, and concentrating the organic layer in vacuum at the concentration temperature of 40 ℃ to obtain a light yellow solid crude product (the purity is 89.90 percent);
And 3, adding an organic solvent with a component B into the light yellow solid crude product obtained in the step 2 to enable the light yellow solid crude product to be completely dissolved (wherein the mass ratio of the light yellow solid crude product to the component B is 1:3), then adding the organic solvent with a component A into the obtained solution under the stirring condition, continuously stirring for 2 hours, filtering, and treating the obtained filter cake under reduced pressure to remove solvent residues to obtain a purified compound I product. Wherein the component A is one or more of petroleum ether, n-heptane, n-pentane, n-hexane, acetonitrile, ethyl acetate and butyl acetate. The component B is one or more of diethyl ether, isopropyl ether, methyl tertiary butyl ether, methanol, isopropanol and dichloromethane.
Step 3 of this example by fixing the mixing ratio of the organic solvent component a and component B (component a: component b=50:1), mixed solvent conditions of optimal purity and optimal yield are obtained and thus a compound I product of high purity is obtained. The specific solvent selections and corresponding purity and recovery results of the product obtained in step 3 of this example are shown in Table 3.
TABLE 3 solvent selection and purity and recovery of the resulting product
It can be seen that when the component A of the organic solvent is one or more of petroleum ether, n-heptane, n-pentane and n-hexane, and the component B of the organic solvent is one or more of diethyl ether, isopropyl ether and methyl tert-butyl ether, a compound I sample with purity of 99% or more can be obtained with a recovery rate of 95% or more. In particular, when the organic solvent A component is n-heptane, petroleum ether or n-pentane and the organic solvent B component is methyl tert-butyl ether, a compound I sample having a purity of 99.5% or more can be obtained at a recovery rate of 95% or more.
EXAMPLE 3 solvent ratio selection for further purification of crude Compound I pretreatment
This example further investigated the effect of solvent ratio on compound I purity and recovery based on the preferred solvent combination of example 2. The method comprises the following specific steps:
Step 1. The reaction solution obtained according to the method of example 1 is pretreated according to the method of the pretreatment step 1 of example 1 to obtain a layered two-phase system (the solvent amount of the reaction and the water amount in the pretreatment process are the same as those of the numbers 1-2 in the table 2 of example 1);
Step 2, treating the organic phase obtained in the step 1 according to the method of the step 2 of the embodiment 2 to obtain a light yellow solid crude product;
Step 3. Further processing of the crude compound of formula I according to the procedure of step 3, example 2, table 3, solvent combinations numbered 2-3/4/5;
In the embodiment, the mixing proportion of the component A and the component B methyl tertiary butyl ether of different types of organic solvents is adjusted, and the proportion condition of the best purity and the best yield is obtained through screening, so that the camptothecin derivative product with high purity is obtained. The mixing ratio of the solvents studied in this example ranges from component a to component b=100:1 to 5:1, tables 4 and 5 being specific.
TABLE 4 influence of solvent ratio on purity and recovery of Compound I
TABLE 5 influence of other solvent ratios on the purity and recovery of Compound I
From the results (see Table 4 and Table 5), it was found that when the organic solvent component A was petroleum ether, n-heptane or n-pentane and the component B was methyl t-butyl ether and the mixing ratio was 75:1 to 5:1, a compound I having a purity of 98% or more was obtained, and when the organic solvent component A was petroleum ether, n-heptane or n-pentane and the component B was methyl t-butyl ether and the mixing ratio was 60:1 to 30:1, a compound I having a purity of 99.5% or more and an optimal recovery (> 95%) was obtained.
