Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of pharmaceutical preparation, and specifically relates to a preparation method of sodium picosulfate. Background Art

[0002] Sodium picosulfate, chemically named sodium 4,4'-(pyridine-2-ylmethylene) bis(phenolate) disulfate, is a constipation treatment drug developed by DeAngeli Company in Italy. Its efficacy is mainly based on being decomposed by colonic microbial sulfatase into active bisphenol metabolites, promoting intestinal peristalsis and inhibiting water absorption in the intestine, producing a mild laxative effect, and can be used for various constipation, postoperative adjuvant defecation, promoting defecation after administration of contrast agents, and excluding intestinal contents before surgery, etc.

[0003] The Chinese patent application with the publication number CN 112851574A discloses that using phenol and 2-pyridinecarboxaldehyde as raw materials, a condensation reaction is carried out under the action of strong acid to obtain 4,4'-(pyridin-2-yl-methylene) bisphenol, and then the target product is obtained through esterification and salification reactions. This route uses phenol as the starting material, and is prone to generating isomeric impurities: 2-[(4-hydroxyphenyl)-2-pyridylmethyl] phenol and 2,2'-(2-pyridylmethylene) diphenol, and the separation and purification are difficult, resulting in a low yield of the target product.

[0004] The US patent application with the publication number US3558643A discloses that using 2,6-dichlorophenol (bromide) and 2-pyridinecarboxaldehyde as raw materials, a condensation reaction is also carried out under the action of strong acid, followed by sulfuric acid esterification with chlorosulfonic acid, and then dechlorination reduction is carried out using nickel-aluminum alloy to obtain sodium picosulfate. However, when carrying out sulfuric acid esterification with chlorosulfonic acid, there are halogen atoms at both ortho positions of the hydroxyl group. Due to the influence of steric hindrance effect, the reaction temperature is relatively high, and subsequent dechlorination reduction using nickel-aluminum alloy is required, resulting in a low yield.

Filter, wash with deionized water twice (500 ml each time), wash with 500 ml of acetone and dry at 60 °C for 5 h to obtain the nickel catalyst.

[0058] 40.5 g of intermediate was obtained with a yield of 60.6% and a liquid-phase purity of 99.78%.

[0059] Comparative Example 2

[0060] The preparation method of Intermediate 2 was basically the same as that of Example 5, except that the Ni / Al-SiO2 (prepared in Example 2) in Step S2 was replaced with a Ni / SiO2 catalyst prepared by the following method:

[0061] 1 mol of triethanolamine and 1000 ml of deionized water were stirred and heated to 80 °C. Then, 1.8 mol of polyvinylpyrrolidone, 3 mol of sodium dodecyl sulfate, and 20 mol of tetraethoxysilane were added successively and stirred for 2 h. 1.6 mol of nickel nitrate was added, the pressure was raised to 0.2 MPa, and the reaction was carried out for 5 h. After filtration, it was washed twice with deionized water (500 ml each time), dried in vacuum at 70 °C for 10 h. The obtained solid was calcined in a hydrogen atmosphere at 550 °C for 6 h to obtain the Ni-SiO2 catalyst.

[0062] 52.7 g of intermediate was obtained with a yield of 78.9% and a liquid-phase purity of 99.87%.

[0063] Comparative Example 3

[0064] The preparation method of Intermediate 2 was basically the same as that of Example 5, except that the Ni / Al-SiO2 (prepared in Example 2) in Step S1 was replaced with a Ni / Al-SiO2 catalyst prepared by the following method:

[0065] S1: 1 mol of triethanolamine and 1000 ml of deionized water were stirred and heated to 80 °C. Then, 1.8 mol of polyvinylpyrrolidone, 3 mol of sodium dodecyl sulfate, and 20 mol of tetraethoxysilane were added successively and stirred for 2 h. 1.6 mol of NaA1O2 was added, the pressure was raised to 0.2 MPa, and the reaction was carried out for 5 h. After filtration, it was washed twice with deionized water (500 ml each time), dried in vacuum at 70 °C for 10 h. The obtained solid was calcined at 550 °C for 6 h to obtain Al-SiO2;

[0066] S2: 100 g of nickel nitrate, 1000 g of Al-SiO2, and 2000 ml of deionized water were mixed evenly and stirred for 12 h. The water was evaporated by heating to 80 °C. The obtained solid was calcined at 500 °C for 3 h and then reduced at 500 °C in a hydrogen atmosphere for 2 h to obtain the Ni / Al-SiO2 catalyst.

[0067] 57.3 g of intermediate was obtained with a yield of 85.8% and a liquid-phase purity of 99.91%.

[0068] In the examples and comparative examples of this application, the polyvinylpyrrolidone used had a Mw of 360,000. The hydrazine hydrate used in the examples and comparative examples of this application was an aqueous solution of 40 wt%, and the ethanol was absolute ethanol.

[0069] As can be seen from Examples 4, 5, and 6, the method for preparing sodium picosulfate of the present invention has a high yield. The reason is that: for the Ni / Al-SiO2 prepared in the present invention to adsorb the reaction substrate, the synergistic effect of nickel and aluminum can change the electronic structure on the catalyst surface, thereby enhancing the adsorption capacity for the substrate; nickel, as the main active center, can activate hydrogen molecules, dissociating them into active hydrogen atoms (H*), and the activated hydrogen atoms react with the molecules adsorbed on the catalyst surface, gradually replacing the chlorine atoms with hydrogen atoms. After the chlorine atoms are substituted, the active sites of nickel provide electrons or stabilize the transition state, and the generated chloride ions are removed from the catalyst surface.

[0070] During the preparation of Ni / Al-SiO2, through the action of auxiliary agents such as triethanolamine, polyvinylpyrrolidone, and sodium dodecyl sulfate, tetraethoxysilane and NaAlO2 fully react to form an Al-SiO2 support. Subsequently, nickel is loaded on this support, enabling nickel to be dispersed on the support in the form of nanoparticles with relatively high activity. This structure is conducive to improving the activity and stability of the catalyst. The interaction between nickel particles and the support can prevent the nickel particles from aggregating during the reaction, thereby maintaining a relatively high catalytic activity. The nano-lychee-like structure has a large specific surface area and surface activity, which can effectively improve the reaction efficiency.

[0071] Comparative Example 1 is a comparative example different from Example 5. The difference is that the nickel catalyst used in Comparative Example 1 was directly prepared by reacting nickel nitrate with hydrazine hydrate without the support of a carrier. The nickel particles may aggregate during the reaction, resulting in a reduction in active sites and relatively low catalytic activity. In addition, lacking the protection of the carrier, the nickel particles are more likely to sinter and deactivate during high-temperature or long-term reactions, and the stability is poor.

[0072] The Ni / SiO2 catalyst used in Comparative Example 2 uses SiO2 as the carrier, and nickel is loaded on SiO2 through a similar preparation method, which can provide a certain dispersing effect for the nickel particles, thereby improving the activity and stability of the catalyst.

[0073] In Comparative Example 3, the Ni / Al-SiO2 catalyst was synthesized by impregnation during the preparation process, and then the Ni / Al-SiO2 catalyst was synthesized by calcination and reduction. For the catalyst synthesized by this method, the nickel specific surface area is small, the active sites are small, and the driving force for the catalytic reaction is less than that of the catalysts prepared in Examples 1-3 of this application.

[0074] The above are only the preferred embodiments of the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention. However, for those of ordinary skill in the art, within the scope of the technical solution of the present invention, any equivalent changes made by using the technical content disclosed above, such as slight modifications, refinements, and evolutions, are all equivalent embodiments of the present invention. At the same time, any equivalent changes, modifications, and evolutions made to the above embodiments based on the essential technology of the present invention still fall within the scope of protection of the technical solution of the present invention.
