Problems solved by technology

[0013] (1) Great environmental pollution and inconvenient process operation
[0014] The starting material uses highly toxic compounds, and heavy metal catalysts are also used in the preparation process, which is very polluting to the environment, and operators must wear protective equipment to work, which is extremely inconvenient to operate
[0015] (2) The starting materials and reagents are expensive, and the waste of raw materials is large, resulting in high production costs
[0016] The starting materials and heavy metal catalysts used in the preparation process are all expensive, and the chiral resolution is only in the penultimate step of the synthesis steps, wasting nearly 50% of the raw materials, thereby increasing the production cost
[0017] (3) The total yield of synthesis is too low to be suitable for large-scale production
[0019] Therefore, there is a solution to the problems of using toxic substances, high cost, long route and low yield in the above route

Abstract

The invention discloses a method for preparing a Suvorexantintermediate as shown in a formula 8A and an analogue thereof, or pharmaceutically acceptable salts and solvates thereof, wherein R is hydrogen or an alkyl group of C1 to C6. The method comprises the following steps of removing an amino protection group of a compound as shown in a formula 3 to obtain a compound as shown in a formula 4A; d, adopting the compound as shown in the formula 4A for preparing to obtain a compound as shown in a formula 5A; e, adopting the formula 5A for preparing to obtain a compound as shown in a formula 6A; f, reacting the compound as shown in the formula 6A and a compound as shown in a formula 10A for preparing to obtain a compound as shown in a formula 7A; g, adopting the compound as shown in the formula 7A for preparing to obtain the compound as shown in the formula 8A. According to the method provided by the invention, the compound 8 is synthesized through a brand new process route, and is then adopted as an intermediate for preparing Suvorexant, so that the problems of the usage of toxic substances, high cost, long route and low yield in an existing method for preparing the Suvorexant are effectively solved, and the method is suitable for industrial application.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a method for preparing a pharmaceutical intermediate, in particular to a method for preparing a Suvorexant intermediate and analogs thereof. Background technique [0002] Insomnia is the most common sleep disorder, about 30-50% of adults have shown symptoms of insomnia, of which 10-15% have been diagnosed with insomnia. According to statistics, the loss caused by insomnia reaches tens of billions of dollars every year. Although insomnia is associated with many serious physical and mental diseases, people's attention to it is far from enough. For a long time, insomnia is only defined as a symptom of other diseases, so little progress has been made in its understanding and treatment . [0003] Currently, sedative-hypnotics for the treatment of insomnia include the following categories: antidepressant sedatives, benzodiazepine sedative-hypnotics (BZD), new non-benzodiazepine sedative-hypnotics (NBZD), and melatonin receptor Inh...
