Problems solved by technology

When introducing 6α-ethyl, patent CN101203526A and patent CN104781272A mentioned configuration conversion under high temperature conditions, but due to factors such as complex reaction process and incomplete configuration conversion, the potential introduction of chiral impurities, such as 6β-ethyl Base chenodeoxycholic acid, 6α-ethyl ursodeoxycholic acid and 6β-ethyl ursodeoxycholic acid, etc. In addition, if the reaction temperature is too high, new impurity chenodeoxycholic acid (CDCA) may be introduced, resulting in Reduced product purity
In order to improve product purity, the patent CN104781272A mentions recrystallization with butyl acetate, and the purity of obeticholic acid product recrystallized through butyl acetate can reach no less than 98.5%, but this method has complex post-processing and the boiling point of butyl acetate Higher disadvantages that are difficult to remove
And the patent CN101203526A and the patent CN104781272A both mentioned the treatment method of alkali dissolution and acid crystallization. Experiments have proved that this refining method has no obvious effect on the removal of isomer impurities

Dichloromethane (1.5L) was added, heated at 40°C and stirred for 30 minutes, cooled to 10°C, stirred for 2 hours, filtered, and the filter cake was dried at 40°C to obtain a white solid, namely (E)-3α,7α-dihydroxy-6- Ethylene-5β-cholan-24-acid (98.8 g, purity: 99.7%, yield: 90.8%).

Embodiment 2

[0033] Preparation of (E)-3α,7α-dihydroxy-6-ethylene-5β-cholan-24-acid ethyl ester

[0034] Add (E)-3α-hydroxy-6-ethylene-7-one-5β-cholan-24-acid ethyl ester (50.0g, 0.11mol), tetrahydrofuran (400.0ml) and absolute ethanol to the reaction flask (100.0ml), cooled to 0°C, sodium borohydride (12.5g, 0.33mol) was added, the addition was completed, and the reaction was carried out at 0°C for 3 hours. Cool to 0°C, add 1.0mol / L hydrochloric acid dropwise to adjust pH to 7, add ethyl acetate (500.0ml) and water (500.0ml), separate the liquids, and evaporate the organic phase to dryness under reduced pressure at 40°C. Ethyl acetate (500.0ml) was added, heated at 50°C and stirred for 30 minutes, cooled to 10°C, stirred for 2 hours, filtered, and the filter cake was dried at 60°C to obtain an off-white solid, namely (E)-3α,7α-dihydroxy-6 - Ethylene-5β-cholan-24-acid ethyl ester (46.5 g, purity: 99.3%, yield: 92.5%).

Embodiment 3

[0036] Preparation of obeticholic acid

[0037] Add (E)-3α,7α-dihydroxy-6-ethylene-5β-cholane-24-acid (95.0g, 0.23mol), sodium hydroxide (18.4g, 0.16mol), water to the reaction flask (750 mL) and 5% palladium on carbon (9.5 g), the reaction mixture was heated to 30° C. under the pressure of 1 to 3 atmospheres, and the hydrogen was no longer absorbed after 5 hours of hydrogenation reaction. The reaction solution was filtered, water (675 mL) was added to the filtrate, and the temperature was raised to 50°C. Add 1.0mol / L hydrochloric acid solution dropwise to adjust pH to 3.0, continue to keep stirring for 30min, cool to 10°C and stir for crystallization for 2 hours, filter, and vacuum dry the filter cake at 50°C for 3 hours to obtain a white solid, namely obeticholic acid ( 80.9 g, purity: 99.89%, yield: 84.8%).
