Abstract

The invention provides a method for synthesizing an anastrozole intermediate-2,2'-(5-methyl-1,3-phenylene)-bis-(2-methyl propionitrile), which comprises the following steps: dissolving a cyanoacetate derivative and 3,5-dihalogenated toluene in a solvent, carrying out decarboxylation cyanomethylation reaction under the action of a palladium catalyst and an organic phosphorus ligand, obtaining a target product, or obtaining 2,2'-(5-methyl-1,3-phenylene)-bis-(acetonitrile), and further being reacted with halogenated methane or methane which is ready to be halogenated in the presence of a strong base hydride, and generating the target product. The method for synthesizing the intermediate can avoid the use of highly toxic cyanide, and has the advantages of cheap price and easy obtainment of raw materials, easy synthesis, no side reactions and high yield.

Example Embodiment

[0055] Example 1:
[0056] (1) Preparation of ethyl 2-cyano-2-methylpropionate
[0057] Add ethyl cyanoacetate (4.52g, 40mmol), DBU (22.07g, 88mmol) and 50mL DMF to a 150ml round bottom flask equipped with a magnet. After stirring in an ice-water bath for 10 minutes, iodomethane (12.49 g, 88 mmol) was slowly added dropwise. After the dropwise addition, the round-bottomed flask was covered with a lid, the ice-water bath was removed, and the reaction was stirred at room temperature for 2 h. After the reaction, the solution in the round bottom flask was transferred to a 250mL separatory funnel, 80mL of ethyl acetate was added, the organic phase was extracted twice with 80mL of water, and once with 80mL of saturated saline. After the extraction, the organic phase was dried with anhydrous magnesium sulfate for 20 minutes, filtered, and the solvent ethyl acetate was removed by a vacuum rotary evaporator, and then separated by a simple chromatographic column to obtain a light yellow liquid with a yield of 85%.
[0058] (2) Preparation of potassium 2-cyano-2-methylpropionate from ethyl 2-cyano-2-methylpropionate
[0059] Potassium hydroxide (1.91g, 34mmol) and 50mL of ethanol were added to a 150mL round bottom flask equipped with a magnet, and ethyl 2-cyano-2-methylpropionate (4.80mL) was added to another 100mL round bottom flask. g, 34mmol) and 30mL ethanol. Add the ethanol solution of ethyl 2-cyano-2-methylpropionate dropwise to the ethanol solution of potassium hydroxide under stirring, and continue to stir for 2 hours after the dropwise addition. After the reaction was completed, the ethanol was removed by a vacuum rotary evaporator, filtered, and washed three times with a small amount of ether to obtain a white solid with a yield of 97%.
[0060] (3) Preparation of 2,2'-(5-methyl-1,3-phenylene)bis(2-methylpropionitrile)
[0061] In an oven-dried 50 mL Schlenk bottle equipped with a magnet, add dipolyallylpalladium chloride (0.0044g, 0.012mmol), XantPhos (0.0208g, 0.036mmol), 3,5-dibromo Toluene (3.00 g, 12 mmol) and potassium 2-cyano-2-methylpropionate (4.35 g, 28.8 mmol). The cover is coated with a vacuum grease grinding plug, connected to the Schrank vacuum line, the air in the container is drained and filled with nitrogen, repeat 3 times, and 12 mL of mesitylene is added under the reverse flow of nitrogen. After the addition, cover with a stopper, put it into a 140°C oil pan after clamping, and stir for 20 hours. After the reaction was completed, it was directly separated by chromatographic column to obtain white crystals with a yield of 88%.
[0062] The resulting product was subjected to nuclear magnetic resonance, figure 1 2,2'-(5-methyl-1,3-phenylene) bis(2-methylpropionitrile) hydrogen nuclear magnetic resonance spectrum, figure 2 It is the carbon nuclear magnetic resonance spectrum of 2,2'-(5-methyl-1,3-phenylene)bis(2-methylpropionitrile).
