Abstract

The invention discloses a preparation method for a roflumilast intermediate. The preparation method is characterized by comprising the following steps of: etherifying 3,4-dihydroxy benzaldehyde serving as a raw material and 3-hydroxyl by using benzene ring non-substituted, mono-substituted or poly-substituted benzyl protection 4-hydroxy and halogenated methyl cyclopropane; performing catalytic hydrogenolysis to obtain 4-hydroxy-3-cyclopropyl methoxy-benzaldehyde; etherifying and oxidizing the 4-hydroxy-3-cyclopropyl methoxy-benzaldehyde with difluoromonoch-loromethane to obtain 3-cyclopropyl methoxy-4-difluoromethoxybenzoic acid (I) serving as the roflumilast intermediate. The preparation method has the advantages of easiness and convenience for operating, mild reaction conditions, stable quality, simple post-treatment and no need of complex operation such as column chromatography and the like, and is suitable for industrial production.

Description

technical field [0001] A kind of preparation method of roflumilast intermediate technical background [0002] Roflumilast (roflumilast), the chemical name is N-(3,5-dichloropyridin-4-yl)-3-cyclopropylmethoxy-4-difluoromethoxybenzamide, a German Altana The phosphodiesterase 4 (PDE4) inhibitor developed by the company was approved by the European Union for the first time in Germany in July 2010. It is clinically used for the treatment of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). The trade name is Daxas. It was also approved by the US FDA in March 2011. listed. This product can reduce the release of inflammatory mediators by inhibiting PDE4, thereby inhibiting the damage to lung tissue caused by respiratory diseases such as COPD and asthma. The structural formula of Roflumilast is as follows: [0003] [0004] Roflumilast [0005] 3-cyclopropylmethoxy-4-difluoromethoxybenzoic acid (I) is the key intermediate of roflumilast, according to the literature WO2008142542, W...
