Problems solved by technology

However, most of the above synthetic methods use sodium azide as a reactant, because the reactant is toxic and may cause explosion instability, so it is hardly considered to be used in industrial production.

Embodiment

[0073] Synthesize the final product (1S, 2R)-milnacipran hydrochloride with a total weight of 41kg according to the following scheme and operation process:

[0074]

[0075] Steps 1 to 4:

[0076] 28 kg of sodium amide (682 moles) was suspended in 400 L of toluene, then 85.5 kg of phenylacetonitrile (729.5 moles) diluted in 10 L of toluene was poured into the above mixture at a temperature ranging from 0°C to 5°C under vigorous stirring. The reaction medium is stirred at 10° C. for at least 1 h. Maintaining the reaction temperature at 10°C, 27 kg of chiral epichlorohydrin (292 moles) dissolved in 20 L of toluene was added. After pouring is complete, the medium is stirred for at least 2 h. Maintain the reaction temperature between 5°C and 40°C, pour the reaction medium into 240L aqueous solution to carry out the hydrolysis reaction. After the resulting solution was concentrated, 115 kg of 30% sodium carbonate was added to the medium, followed by heating to 95° C. to hyd...

Abstract

The present invention relates to the method for synthesizing the pharmaceutically acceptable acid addition salt of (1S,2R)-milnacipran, it comprises following successive steps: (a) phenylacetonitrile and (R)-epichlorohydrin Reaction under the condition that alkali exists, after alkali treatment, acid treatment, obtain lactone; (b) under the condition that Lewis acid-amine complex exists, this lactone and MNEt2 (M represents alkali metal) or NHEt2 reaction, obtain Amide alcohol; (c) the amide alcohol reacts with thionyl chloride to obtain amide chloride; (d) the chloride amide reacts with phthalimide salt to obtain phthalimide derivatives; (e) hydrolyzing the phthalimide group of the phthalimide derivative to obtain (1S, 2R)-milnacipran; (f) in the presence of a pharmaceutically acceptable acid (1S,2R)-milnacipran is salted in a suitable solvent system under the same conditions.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to an asymmetric synthesis method of (1S, 2R)-milnacipran and a chlorinated intermediate whose enantiomeric configuration is mainly (1S, 2R). Background technique [0002] Milnacipran is an antidepressant used in the treatment of depression by inhibiting the recapture of serotonin-norepinephrine (FR 2 508 035). [0003] The synthesis of many racemic compounds is described in the literature (EP 0 377 381; EP 0 200 638; EP 1 757 597; EP 1 767 522; EP 1 845 084; EP 1 770 084; Shuto S. et al. , J. Med. Chem. 1995, 38, 2964-2968). [0004] In addition, it has recently been reported in the literature that the enantiomer (1S, 2R)-milnacipran has a higher activity compared to its racemic mixture (Viazzo P. et al., Tetrahedron Lett. 1996, 37 , 26, 4519-4522). [0005] The first method of obtaining enantiomers in enriched form was separation and resolution from racemic mixtures (Bonnaud B. et al., J. Chromatogr. 1985, 318, 398-403). How...
