Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of drug synthesis, more specifically, it relates to an amine compound for fungal drugs and a preparation method thereof. BACKGROUND

[0002] The N-methyl-1-(4-iodophenyl)methylamine compound contains iodine elements, and iodine can be used to prepare a developer or a targeted therapeutic drug if it is a radioisotope (such as iodine-125, iodine-131). The iodine atom in the para position of the benzene ring makes it an ideal coupling reaction precursor (such as SUZUKI, HECK, Ullmann reaction, etc.), which is used to construct carbon-carbon or carbon-nitrogen heteroatom bonds to synthesize more complex organic drug molecules.

[0003] In the prior art, patent application number WO2021113263A1 reports that the antagonist of the corticotropin-releasing factor (CRF) receptor is N-methyl-1-(4-iodophenyl)methylamine (compound I) as an important structural fragment; in addition, patent application number CN116924959A reports a HDAC11 subtype selective inhibitor and a preparation method thereof, wherein compound 9a is a palladium-catalyzed cross-coupling reaction using compound I as an important structural fragment; it has potential application value in the fields of pesticides, medicines, optoelectronic materials, coordination chemistry, and analytical chemistry, and has broad market prospects.

[0004] Patent application number CN103242273B reports a method as shown in the following formula, which uses a batch addition of 1-bromomethyl-4-iodo (II) and a methylamine solution to prepare compound I. Since the activity of the secondary amine product is higher than that of the primary amine, a large amount of by-product I is generated after the nitrogen alkylation, and it is difficult to obtain a compound I with high purity, and it is difficult to realize large-scale production. '

[0005] According to the method reported in European Journal of Organic Chemistry, 2018, vol. 2018, #27, p. 3701-3704, compound IV is reacted with chloromethane in the presence of sodium hydride as a base to obtain compound III. Since a large amount of hydrogen gas is released during the reaction process, the operation is dangerous, and it is difficult to realize large-scale production with sodium hydride as a base. In addition, chloromethane is volatile and belongs to a genotoxic reagent, and the limit of the drug research and development API needs to be controlled according to the ICH related guidelines.
