Abstract

The invention provides a tasimelteon intermediate and a preparation method thereof. The preparation method comprises the following steps: with a compound a as a raw material, reacting the compound a with benzyl bromide so as to obtain a compound I; then subjecting the compound I to a reaction under the action of a combined catalyst consisting of potassium osmate dihydrate, potassium carbonate, potassium ferricyanide, benzyltriethylammonium chloride and methane sulfonamide or a combined catalyst consisting of osmium tetroxide, potassium carbonate, potassium ferricyanide, benzyltriethylammonium chloride and methane sulfonamide so as to obtain a compound II; subjecting the compound II to an oxidation reaction under the action of sodium periodate or lead tetraacetate so as to obtain an intermediate compound III and carrying out a reduction reaction so as to obtain a compound IV; and subjecting the compound IV to a reduction reaction to remove a benzyl protective group so as to obtain a compound V, then reacting the compound V with p-toluene sulfonyl chloride, carrying out hydroxyl protection and then carrying out cyclization under the action of potassium carbonate so as to obtain the tasimelteon intermediate compound VI. The invention provides a novel process for preparation of the tasimelteon intermediate; and the prepared tasimelteon intermediate has good purity and high quality and is applicable to industrial production.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of organic synthesis route design and preparation of raw materials and intermediates, and in particular relates to an intermediate of tasimelteon, a drug for treating insomnia, and a preparation method thereof. Background technique [0002] Tasimelteon is a small-molecule melatonin receptor agonist developed by Vanda Pharma, Maryland, USA, which can simultaneously improve sleep latency and sleep retention in patients who suddenly advance their sleep time. The drug was approved by the US FDA in January 2014 under the trade name Hetlioz for the treatment of patients with non-24-hour disorder (Non-24). [0003] The chemical name of Tasimelteon is: (1R,2R)-N-[[2-(2,3-dihydro-4-benzofuryl)cyclopropyl]methyl]propionamide (I ), its structural formula is: [0004] [0005] The literature "Organic Process Research & Development" Volume 6, No. 5, Pages 618-620 (2002) and Volume 7, No. 6, Pages 821-827 (2003) reve...
