Abstract

The invention discloses a ramelteon intermediate and a preparation method thereof. The preparation method of a compound II comprises the following steps: in a solvent, under condition of existence of a catalyst, a compound III and hydrogen are debrominated and dehydrated, and then steps of an alkene reduction reaction and a cyan reduction reaction are carried out on the compound III to obtain a racemic compound II. The invention also provides a preparation method of salt of the compound II, which comprises the following steps: in an organic solvent, the compound II and optically pure organic acidity are subjected to a neutralization reaction to obtain the salt of the compound II. The preparation method has the advantages of easy acquisition and low cost of raw materials, short reaction step, mild reaction condition, simple post-treatment step, high reaction conversion rate, high yield, and high chemical purity and optical purity of the product, and is suitable for industrial production.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a ramelteon intermediate and a preparation method thereof. Background technique [0002] Ramelteon (Ramelteon), chemical name: (S)-N-[2-(1,6,7,8-tetrahydro-2H-indeno[5,4-b]furan-8-yl) Ethyl] propionamide, the structural formula is as follows: It is a melatonin receptor agonist developed by Takeda Corporation of Japan, which can selectively act on melatonin receptors and is clinically used to treat insomnia characterized by difficulty falling asleep. [0003] [0004] During the preparation of ramelteon, the intermediate (S)-2-(1,6,7,8-tetrahydro-2H-indeno[5,4-b]furan-8-yl)ethanamine (compound The construction of I) is the key point of the synthetic route. At present, in the preparation method of ramelteon, the main method of constructing the intermediate is as follows: [0005] Route 1, prepared by asymmetric reduction: (reference: WO2006 / 030739) [0006] [0007] In this route, the Wittig reaction of 1,2,6,7-tetrahyd...
