Problems solved by technology

Among them, the extraction of diosgenin, oxidative cracking, diene hydrogenation, bromoform reaction and other processes produce more waste water, which is difficult to handle and easy to pollute the environment; the Oxide oxidation process used in production requires steam distillation, water consumption, High energy consumption; using active nickel or palladium carbon to catalyze hydrogenation, there are potential safety hazards
More importantly, with the depletion of wild yam plant resources, and the artificial planting of yam plants due to the increasing cost of labor and chemical fertilizers, the production costs of saponin and dienes have doubled, resulting in 17β-androst-4- The production cost and market price of en-3-one-17-carboxylic acid have increased significantly, which has had a significant impact on the global finasteride drug market

Abstract

The invention discloses a preparation method of 17beta-androst-4-ene-3-one-17-carboxylic acid. The preparation method comprises the following specific operation steps of performing acid catalyzed reaction on 4AD (Androstenedione) and triethyl orthoformate in low-carbon alcohol organic solvent to obtain etherate 3-ethyoxyl-androst-3,5-diene-17-one; performing 17-situ addition on the obtained etherate and nitromethane in the organic solvent under the catalysis of ethanediamine to obtain a nitro compound; reducing the obtained nitro compound in the organic solvent with zinc powder, and hydrolyzing with acid to obtain 17beta-androst-4-ene-3-one-17-formaldehyde; oxidizing an intermediate obtained by hydrolyzing in the organic solvent with hydrogen peroxide to obtain a 17beta-androst-4-ene-3-one-17-formic acid crude product; recrystallizing the crude product through methyl alcohol to obtain a finished product. According to the preparation method, total yield of synthesis weight is 70 to 72 percent, and the content of HPLC (High Performance Liquid Chromatography) is 99.0 percent or over 99.0 percent. The method disclosed by the invention has the advantages of high production yield, low cost, good purity, stable quality, high recovery rate of solvent, economy and environment friendliness.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the preparation technology of steroid hormone drug intermediates, and in particular relates to a preparation method of finasteride intermediate 17β-androst-4-en-3-one-17-carboxylic acid of prostatic hypertrophy treatment drug. Background technique [0002] Finasteride is currently the first-line clinical drug for the treatment of benign prostatic hypertrophy and benign prostatic hyperplasia in elderly men, and it is also used to treat early-stage prostate cancer. Since finasteride can selectively inhibit the activity of 5α-reductase in the human body, thereby blocking the conversion of testosterone into dihydrotestosterone in the body, and causing the proliferated prostate to shrink due to lack of dihydrotestosterone, the side effects of this drug are small. The curative effect is definite, and the market potential is huge. The production of finasteride is made from the intermediate 17β-androst-4-en-3-one-17-carboxylic acid th...
