Problems solved by technology

[0005] In the amidation reaction of the key intermediate 3 in this route, the cost of using cyanoacetic acid-N-hydroxysuccinimide ester is relatively high, and the active ester has fewer suppliers and poor material stability, so it is difficult to ensure batch scale-up product quality after
CN105085527A discloses that cyanoacetic acid reacts under DCC condensation, but the by-product DCU of DCC is difficult to remove in the post-treatment, which makes the method have certain limitations
The hydrodebenzylation reaction uses acetic acid as a solvent, and after the reaction is completed, it is filtered and concentrated, but the target compound is difficult to form a solid, making the product less pure
Chinese patent CN1195755C discloses the hydrodebenzylation reaction under hydrochloric acid and ethanol conditions, the reaction conditions are mild, but the reaction time is long, and the target product needs to be obtained by column chromatography, which is not suitable for industrial production
However, when the p-toluenesulfonyl protecting group is removed by hydrolysis in sodium hydroxide solution, the reaction system is a heterogeneous system, and there is a risk of incomplete reaction, and the p-toluenesulfonate ester produced is a known genotoxic impurity, which is difficult to obtain. In this process, the problem will become more prominent as the batch scales up

Abstract

The invention discloses an industrial production method of citric acid tofacitinib. The method comprises the following steps: (1) adding a compound SMA and a compound SMB to a mixed solvent 1 which comprises DMSO and purified water, and catalyzing through DIPEA to react to obtain an intermediate INA; (2) carrying out a homogeneous reaction of the INA under an alkaline condition to obtain a rough intermediate INB; (3) refining the rough INB through low-level alcohol and water to obtain fine INB; (4) treating the fine INB by debenzylation and acidification to obtain an intermediate INC (salt form); (5) carrying out a reaction between the INC and SMC to obtain an intermediate IND which is tofacitinib free alkali; (6) preparing salt through the IND and citric acid monohydrate in purified waterto obtain citric acid tofacitinib. According to the method, the defects of preparation technologies in existing literatures can be solved; the used solvents are three types of solvents, so that the environmental pollution is low; the time consumption is small; the operation processes are simple; industrial production can be carried out. The formula is shown in the description.

Background technique [0002] Rheumatoid arthritis is an autoimmune disease, the incidence rate in my country is about 0.4%, and the number of patients has exceeded 5 million. Tofacitinib citrate is a novel oral Janus kinase (JAKs) inhibitor developed by Pfizer. Approved by the US FDA in November 2012, it is used for the treatment of moderate to severe rheumatoid arthritis in adults with insufficient response or intolerance to methotrexate. Tofacitinib citrate mainly adopts the condensation of piperidine amine structure intermediates and pyrrolopyrimidine structure intermediates to obtain the parent ring structure, and after cyanoacetyl condensation, it is then salted with citric acid.
