Problems solved by technology

This method leads to cumbersome process operation, and the cycle is too long, which not only increases the production cost, but also may affect the yield and quality of the product; the use of n-heptane solvent in the letrozole intermediate (III) is reported in the document US2009 / 0270633 , n-heptane is an extremely flammable solvent with high cost, and the operation risk in industrial production is very high

Abstract

The invention discloses a preparation method of letrozole. In the method, a process reaction post-processing operation process does not contain a reduced pressure distillation process, so that the reaction time is greatly shortened, the industrial cost is reduced, and the product yield is improved. According to the invention, the use of low-polarity highly-flammable reagents such as n-heptane and the like in the prior art is avoided, the operation risk is reduced, and the production safety is improved; reagents adopted in the invention are all common reagents, therefore, the method is more environment-friendly and economic; and the method is suitable for industrialized mass production.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of drug synthesis, in particular to a preparation method of an aromatase inhibitor. Background technique [0002] Letrozole is a new generation of aromatase inhibitors. It is a synthetic benzyltriazole derivative. Letrozole reduces the level of estrogen by inhibiting aromatase, thereby eliminating the stimulating effect of estrogen on tumor growth. [0003] Studies have shown that letrozole can effectively inhibit the transformation of androgen into estrogen, and estrogen in postmenopausal women mainly comes from the aromatization of androgen precursors in peripheral tissues, so it is especially suitable for postmenopausal breast cancer patients. The in vivo activity of letrozole is 150-250 times stronger than that of the first-generation aromatase inhibitor aminoglutethimide. Due to its high selectivity, it does not affect the function of glucocorticoids, mineralocorticoids and thyroid glands, and large doses have n...
