Problems solved by technology

This route uses cheap chiral materials as starting materials, and there are fewer steps, but since chiral epoxides have two reaction sites, strict control conditions are required to obtain the target chiral five-membered ring and three-membered ring structure , so it is easy to produce chiral isomers; in addition, there are more reaction sites when the Grignard reagent attacks the three-membered ring, and the reaction temperature needs to be strictly controlled, which makes it difficult to obtain qualified optically pure products in scale-up production

Abstract

The invention provides a preparation method of a pregabalin chiral intermediate. The pregabalin chiral intermediate is (S)-4-isobutyl-dihydro-3H-furan-2-one. The preparation method comprises following steps: S1, a chiral hydroxyl compound 3 is obtained from an S-epoxypropane compound 2 via ring-opening reaction under Grignard reagent conditions; S2, sulfonylation protection of hydroxy groups in the chiral hydroxyl compound 3 is carried out so as to obtain a compound 4 with chiral leaving groups; and S3, the compound 4 and an acetate compound or malonic ester are subjected to substitution reaction, and a compound 1 is obtained via hydrolysis, decarboxylation, and ring closing reaction under acidic conditions. The raw materials used in preparation of the pregabalin chiral intermediate are cheap and easily available; reaction route is short; operation is simple; reaction process is safe and is friendly to the environment; the entire yield is high; the preparation method is convenient for large scale production; and an economical feasible route is provided for production of high purity pregabalin.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of organic synthesis, and more specifically relates to a preparation method of a pregabalin chiral intermediate, which is (S)-4-isobutyl-dihydro-3H -furan-2-one. Background technique [0002] Pregabalin is a new type of calcium ion channel regulator, which can block voltage-dependent calcium channels and reduce the release of neurotransmitters. It was approved by the FDA in 2004 and is mainly used for the treatment of localized partial seizures. [0003] There are many synthetic routes of pregabalin, so there are many key intermediates, one of which is (S)-4-isobutyl-dihydro-3H-furan-2-one (1), the intermediate Optically pure pregabalin can be obtained by the following route. [0004] [0005] However, there are still very few convenient preparation methods for this chiral intermediate. [0006] In 2005, Belliotti, ThomasR. et al. reported the following route in Scheme 1, which uses β-chiral acid ester...
