Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0002] Penam antibiotics are the most widely used and the most active non-typical beta-lactam antibiotics, and are one of the most important antibacterial drugs for treating serious bacterial infections. The annual sales of penam antibiotics exceed 10 billion yuan, and the market share increases by nearly 20% per year. However, the synthesis of penam antibiotics is mainly achieved by a chemical total synthesis method, that is, 4-BMA ((3S, 4S)-3-((R)-1-(tert-butyldimethylsiloxy) ethyl)-4((R)-1-formyl ethyl)-2-azetidinone) is prepared from 4-AA ((3R, 4R)-4-acetyloxy-3-[(R)-1-(tert-butyldimethylsiloxy) ethyl]-2-azetidinone), then a mother nucleus MAP (hetero nitrogen bicyclic phosphonate) is synthesized, and finally a series of penam antibiotics are obtained by reacting with different side chains.

[0003] 4-BMA is a key intermediate for preparing penam antibiotics, and the synthesis process has the characteristics of difficult construction of multiple chiral centers, great difficulty in synthesis, and many dangerous processes. The currently reported synthesis methods of 4-BMA mainly adopt the method of preparing the target product by two-step reactions of Reformatsky and oxidative hydrolysis of 4-AA and a pre-constructed large steric hindrance type 2-chloro / bromo propionamide derivative. A relatively mature method (CN109970784A, CN106632453A, IN2008CH00177A, CN101348486A, WO2007145260A1, CN1948312A, Chinese Journal of Pharmaceuticals, 2010, 41, 891-894, Chinese Journal of Pharmaceuticals, 2001, 32, 512-514, Organic Process Research&Development, 2001, 5, 186-188, Chinese Journal of Pharmaceuticals, 2012, 31, 20-21.) is that 4-AA and 3-(2-chloro-1-oxopropyl)spiro[2H-1,3-benzoxazine-2,1'-cyclohexane]-4(3H)-ketone or 3-(2-bromo-1-oxopropyl)spiro[2H-1,3-benzoxazine-2,1'-cyclohexane]-4(3H)-ketone are subjected to Reformatsky reaction to obtain 3-{(2R)-2-[(3S,4R)-3-[(1R)-1-tert-butyldimethylsiloxy ethyl] azetidin-2-one-4-yl] propionyl} spiro-[2,3-dihydro-4H-1,3-benzoxazine-2,1'-cyclohexane]-4-ketone, and then one-step oxidative hydrolysis reaction is performed to obtain 4-BMA. The whole reaction process is as follows: .

[0004] However, the existing method still has the following problems unsolved, which is the technical bottleneck restricting the green, safe and efficient production of 4-BMA: (1) Reformatsky reaction is difficult to initiate, and the product is prone to isomerization, and there is no effective method to inhibit the generation of isomer impurities.

[0005] (2) There is no efficient anhydrous system preparation method, and the existing method is prone to produce de-tert-butyldimethylsilyl protecting group impurities.

[0006] (3) A large amount of sodium sulfite, sodium thiosulfate and other reducing agents are used in the quenching process of hydrogen peroxide, and the atomic utilization rate is low.

[0007] All the above lead to low yield of product, which affects the production of high-quality penam antibiotic raw materials. SUMMARY

[0032] (3) The present application finds that when 4-BMA is prepared by hydrolysis in a hydrogen peroxide / NaOH system, the residual Zn(II) ions in the THF phase of the Reformatsky reaction become active centers for the catalytic decomposition of hydrogen peroxide, causing rapid decomposition of hydrogen peroxide, which poses a high safety hazard. The present application uses potassium oxalate to remove the residual Zn(II) in the THF phase, thereby overcoming the problem of catalytic decomposition of hydrogen peroxide during hydrolysis, and the process has high safety.

[0033] (4) The use of SO2 to quench hydrogen peroxide and 4-BMA has high atomic utilization rate, effectively overcomes the problem of oxidative decomposition of 4-BMA, and has the characteristics of greenness, safety, and high efficiency, and strong product competitive advantage, which is suitable for industrial production. Compared with the use of sodium sulfite and other quenching agents, the amount of sulfur dioxide used to directly quench hydrogen peroxide is lower, and the economic benefit is also higher.

[0034] (5) The present application adopts a crystallization process of reducing the temperature from 30°C to 5°C within 1 hour, thereby fully removing the spiro ring and improving the purity and content of 4-BMA. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF DRAWINGS
