Abstract

The invention relates to a preparation method for synthesizing an apremilast intermediate. The preparation method comprises the following steps of: carrying out condensation reaction on 3-ethoxyl-4-methoxyl-benzoate and dimethyl sulfone under an alkaline condition to generate 2-(3-ethoxy-4-methoxyphenyl)-1-methylsulfonyl acetone; reacting the compound II and chiral amine in the presence of an acidic catalyst to obtain 1-N-substituted amino-1-(3-ethoxyl-4-methoxyl) phenyl-2-methylsulfonyl ethylene (III), and directly hydrogenating the obtained compound III in the presence of a hydrogenation catalyst without separating the compound III to obtain a product (S)-1-(3-ethoxyl-4-methoxyl) phenyl-2-methanesulfonyl ethylamine (I), namely the apremilast intermediate, wherein the apremilast intermediate can be further prepared into N-acetyl L-leucinate. The invention also provides a preparation method of apremilast. The preparation method disclosed by the invention has the advantages of simple process flow, safety, environmental friendliness and low cost and is favorable to clean industrialized production.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a convenient preparation method for synthesizing a premilast intermediate (S)-1-(3-ethoxy-4-methoxy)phenyl-2-methanesulfonylethylamine, which belongs to the pharmaceutical biochemical industry field. Background technique [0002] (S)-1-(3-ethoxy-4-methoxy)phenyl-2-methanesulfonylethylamine (I) is the key intermediate for the preparation of apremilast. Apremilast (Apremilast) is an oral drug for the treatment of active psoriatic arthritis, the chemical name is (S)-2-[1-(3-ethoxy-4-methoxy)phenyl-2- Methanesulfonylethyl]-4-acetylaminoisoindoline-1,3-dione, CAS No. 608141-41-9. The drug, which was approved by the FDA under the brand name Otezla (Apremilast) in March 2014, is the first and only FDA-approved oral, selective phosphodiesterase 4 (PDE4) inhibitor for the treatment of plaque psoriasis agent. [0003] U.S. Patent US6962940 first reported the synthesis method of Apremilast, which is obtained by condensation of two key...
