Problems solved by technology

Its synthetic route is long, and the total yield of synthesis is low, and the extraction of diosgenin and subsequent multi-step synthetic chemical reactions produce more waste water, which is not easy to handle and easily pollutes the environment
More importantly, with the depletion of wild yam plant resources, and the increasing cost of planting yam plants due to artificial and chemical fertilizers, the production costs of saponin and mold oxygen have doubled, resulting in 6-methyl hydrocortisone The multiplied cost of production of pine and methylprednisolone has had a major impact on the global market for methylprednisolone

Abstract

The invention provides a preparation method of 6a-methyl hydrocortisone. The preparation method comprises the steps that hydrocortisone prepared from 4-androstene-3,17-dione (called as 4AD for short) is adopted as a raw material to generate an acid catalytic reaction with triethyl orthoformate in an organic solvent, and etherate 3-ether enol hydrocortisone is obtained; the etherate generates a Manlixi reaction with N-methylaniline and formaldehyde in an organic solvent, and a methylene product 6-methylene hydrocortisone is obtained; the methylene product generates a catalytic hydrogenation reaction in an organic solvent, and 6a-methyl hydrocortisone is obtained. Compared with a production method achieved by taking a mold removal product obtained by processing diosgenin as a raw material, the method for producing 6a-methyl hydrocortisone has the advantages that raw material sources are wide, the processes are economical and environmentally friendly, production operation is easy and convenient, the synthetic route is short, and the product yield is high; by producing 6a-methyl hydrocortisone through the method, the production cost is reduced by 40%-50% compared with a traditional method; the solvents used in production can be recycled and cyclically reused, and implementation of industrialized production is promoted.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the preparation technology of steroid hormone drugs and intermediates thereof, and in particular relates to a preparation method of 6a-methylhydrocortisone, a key intermediate of methylprednisolone. Background technique [0002] Methylprednisolone (molecular formula C22H32O5), chemical name 6a-methyl-11b, 17a, 21-trihydroxy-pregna-1,4-diene-3,20-dione, is a second Steroidal glucocorticoid drugs. Clinically, it is mainly used for primary and secondary adrenal cortex hypofunction, rheumatism, petechiae, acute bronchial asthma, allergic rhinitis, lupus erythematosus, shock, acute leukemia in children, hypercalcemia caused by tumor, etc. The treatment of many diseases has low side effects, good effect and broad market prospect. 6a-Methylhydrocortisone is a key intermediate in the production of methylprednisolone, which can be dehydrogenated at the 1-position of DDQ or dehydrogenated at the 1-position by other methods to obtain me...
