Embodiment 3

[0052] Synthesis of embodiment 3 formula Ⅲ-2 compound

[0053]

[0054] Add 50mmol of the compound of formula II, 100mL of methanol and 25mmol of p-toluenesulfonic acid into a 250mL four-neck flask. The ice-water bath is lower than 5°C. Dichlorohydantoin is added in 3 batches, totaling 37.5mmol, and the temperature is controlled below 10°C. After the addition was completed, the temperature was naturally raised to 25°C, the system became clear, and a white solid was precipitated after reacting for 15 hours. The solvent was evaporated under reduced pressure, and the residue was added with 100 mL each of water and EA, shaken to separate the liquid, and extracted with EA (50 mL×3). The organic phases were combined, washed with saturated brine (100 mL×1), dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate, filtered, and the filtrate was distilled off the solvent under reduced pressure to obtain a light yellow solid. Wash with 2 mL of EA, filter, and vacuum-dry the filter cake at 40° C. for...

Abstract

The invention provides a preparation method of Apremilast and its intermediate. The invention provides an Apremilast intermediate as shown in the formula III. According to the preparation method, the compound as shown in the formula III reacts with methanesulfinate to obtain a compound as shown in the formula IV; the compound as shown in the formula IV undergoes reductive amination to obtain a compound as shown in the formula V; the compound as shown in the formula V and asymmetry acid undergo salifying to obtain a compound as shown in the formula VI; and the compound as shown in the formula VI reacts with 3-acetamido-phthalic anhydride to obtain Apremilast. By the method for synthesizing Apremilast, usage of an n-butyllithium hexane solution can be avoided. Production cost is reduced, and operation process is convenient. In addition, safety in the industrial production is raised to a great extent, and the preparation method is more suitable for industrial continuous production. According to the preparation method of 3-acetamido-phthalic anhydride, yield is raised to 81%. As the yield is high, the method provided by the invention is extremely suitable for industrial production of Apremilast.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of medicine and chemical industry, in particular to a synthesis method of apremilast. Background technique [0002] Apremilast is a PDE4 inhibitor developed by Celgene, and its chemical name is 2-[1-(3-ethoxy-4-methoxyphenyl)-2-methylsulfonylethyl]-4 - Acetylaminoisoindoline-1,3-dione, having a structure as shown in Formula A. Apremilast was approved by the US FDA on March 25, 2014, and has been clinically developed for rheumatoid arthritis, psoriatic arthritis, Crohn's disease, ulcerative colitis and other indications; the first FDA-approved The first indication is active psoriatic arthritis (psoriaticarthritis, PsA) in adults. Apremilast is different from the anti-TNF monoclonal antibody commonly used in clinical practice. It is an oral anti-rheumatic drug with a new mechanism of action and has huge market potential. [0003] [0004] US2013 / 0217919Al discloses the synthetic method of Apremilast, and route is ...
