Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of chemical drug synthesis technology, specifically relating to a chiral preparation method of draldopa. Background Technology

[0002] Drolidinedopa is a chiral compound with the following structure:

[0003]

[0004] Droxidopa belongs to the catecholamine class of drugs and has several clinical advantages. It can be used to treat norepinephrine deficiency by treating neurogenic orthostatic hypotension and improving norepinephrine levels. Furthermore, droxidopa is known to be used as a treatment for peripheral orthostatic hypotension or Parkinson's disease.

[0005] Patent US3920728 (Route 1) first disclosed a reaction using 3,4-dihydroxybenzaldehyde and glycine protected by benzyloxy group as starting materials to obtain racemic compound 3, which was then resolved by dicyclohexylamine to obtain racemic compound 5. This compound was further resolved by ephedrine or compound 8 to obtain compound 9, and finally hydrogenated to deprotect the target product drosidopa compound 10 protected by benzyloxy group.

[0006]

[0007] Based on this route, EP0024210A1 and EP0084928A1 further improved the order of chiral resolving agent, protecting group and deprotecting group steps. However, this route still requires two resolving steps, so the problems of low overall yield and high cost have not been solved.

[0008] JPH01228946 discloses a novel method for synthesizing drosildopa (route two). This method uses (S)-2-amino-3-(3,4-dihydroxyphenyl)propionic acid as the starting material, and sequentially undergoes esterification, reduction, acetylation, and oxidation to obtain an oxazoline derivative compound 4. This compound is then subjected to ring-opening, oxidation, and deprotection to yield the target product, drosildopa compound 5. While this method can stereoselectively yield the target product, the experimental route is lengthy and cumbersome, and the starting material already contains a chiral center, resulting in high costs.

[0009]

[0010] Sang-Ho Baik [Biotechnology Letters (2010), 32(1), 143-149] synthesized drosildenafil in one step using 3,4-dihydroxybenzaldehyde and glycine as starting materials via aldolase catalysis (route three). The advantages of this method are its short route, mild reaction, and low cost. However, the enzyme reaction requires strict conditions, and currently, there is no large-scale, mature industrial production route for drosildenafil synthesis using enzyme catalysis, resulting in high production costs. Furthermore, the substrate chirality selectivity is not high in enzyme-catalyzed reactions, and a large number of impurity isomers remain, leading to low yields.

[0011]

[0012] Therefore, there is an urgent need in this field for a synthetic method for preparing chiral drosidopa that uses simple raw materials, is rapid and efficient, environmentally friendly, easy to operate, and economical. Summary of the Invention

[0013] To address the aforementioned issues, this invention utilizes a pyridinium salt carbonyl catalyst to provide a catalytic reaction mode similar to the highly efficient catalytic asymmetric aldol reaction of glycine and aldehyde by threonine aldolase in vivo.

[0131] Using the primary amine compound NH2R 14 (where R) 14Catalysts (S,S)-3a-1, (S,S)-3a-2, and (S,S)-3a-3 were prepared from 3,5-di-tert-butylphenyl, 3,5-dimethylphenyl, and 3,5-ditrifluoromethylphenyl, respectively, as described below:

[0132]

[0133] Compound (S,S)-4 (2.06 mmol) and dimethyl squaric acid (10.30 mmol) were dissolved in anhydrous methanol (10 mL) and reacted at 50 °C for 12 hours. After the reaction was completed, the solvent was removed and compound (S,S)-5a was purified by column chromatography.

[0134] Compound (S,S)-5a (0.54 mmol) and the primary amine compound NH2R were mixed. 14 (where R) 14 3,5-di-tert-butylphenyl, 3,5-dimethylphenyl, and 3,5-ditrifluoromethylphenyl (2.95 mmol) were dissolved in anhydrous ethanol (3.0 mL) and reacted at 40 °C for 48 hours. The system was concentrated and column chromatography was performed to obtain an amide intermediate. The amide intermediate was dissolved in CH3CN (3.0 mL), and CH3I (1.52 g, 10.7 mmol) was added. The reaction was performed at room temperature for 12 hours. The reaction system was concentrated, and column chromatography was performed followed by rotary evaporation to obtain a quaternary ammonium salt intermediate. Tetrahydrofuran (3.0 mL) and hydrochloric acid (1.0 M, 4.0 mL) were then added to the intermediate, and the reaction was performed at 50 °C for 4 hours. After the reaction was completed, the tetrahydrofuran was rotary evaporated and dried under vacuum with phosphorus pentoxide until dry. After grinding the obtained solid, 5 mL of diethyl ether was added, followed by 10 drops of tetrahydrofuran. The mixture was then shaken and washed, and allowed to stand to separate into layers. The supernatant was aspirated and repeated three times. Finally, the supernatant and solid were filtered together, and the filter cake was dried to obtain brown solid pyridinium salt carbonyl catalysts (S,S)-3a, (S,S)-3a-2, and (S,S)-3a-3.

[0162] (2) Synthesis of the final product dricidopa

[0163]

[0164] Intermediate I-1 (0.515 g, 1.09 mmol) was added to a 25 mL flask. The flask was sealed and purged with nitrogen.

After filtration, dralidopal (0.208 g, 89% yield) was obtained.

[0165] Compared with Examples 2 and 3, the catalysts in step (1) are different, but the yields of all three are high (≥85%), indicating that the chiral pyridinium salt carbonyl catalysts of the present invention have excellent catalytic activity.

[0166] Example 5: A chiral synthesis of dricidopa

[0167] (1) Synthesis of intermediate I (catalyst: (S,S)-3a-1)

[0168]

[0169] In a glove box, (S,S)-3a-1 (1.0 mg, 0.00126 mmol), compound 1a (0.426 g, 1.26 mmol), and ammonium dihydrogen phosphate (0.173 g, 1.51 mmol) were added to a 50 mL Shrek tube.

After the temperature stabilized, glycine tert-butyl ester (0.247 g, 1.89 mmol) was added dropwise to the system over 5 minutes at this temperature, and the reaction was continued at -40 °C for 48 hours.

[0170] (2) Synthesis of the final product dricidopa

[0171]

[0172] Intermediate I (0.543 g, 1.15 mmol) was added to a 25 mL flask. The flask was sealed and purged with nitrogen. Isopropanol (2.0 mL) and 6 M HCl (1.0 mL) were then added to the reaction system.

The pH was then adjusted to about 6 with triethylamine under ice bath conditions, and a solid precipitated. After filtration, dralidopal (0.221 g, 90% yield) was obtained.

[0173] Compared with Example 2, the additives in step (1) are different, but the yields of both are higher (≥85%). Therefore, sodium dihydrogen phosphate and ammonium dihydrogen phosphate are preferred additives in step (1).

[0174] Example 6: A chiral synthesis of dricidopa

[0175] (1) Synthesis of intermediate I-2 (catalyst: (S,S)-3a-1)

[0176]

[0177] In a glove box, (S,S)-3a-1 (1.0 mg, 0.00126 mmol), compound 1b (0.280 g, 1.26 mmol), and ammonium dihydrogen phosphate (0.173 g, 1.51 mmol) were added to a 50 mL Shrek tube. The Shrek tube was then removed from the glove box, and tetrahydrofuran (6.0 mL) and triethylamine (0.26 mL, 1.89 mmol) were added at -40 °C, and the mixture was stirred for 10 minutes. After the temperature stabilized, ethyl glycine (0.195 g, 1.89 mmol) was added dropwise to the system over 5 minutes at this temperature, and the reaction was continued at -40 °C for 48 hours. After the reaction was complete, hydroxylamine hydrochloride (0.044 g, 0.63 mmol) was added to quench the reaction. The reaction was maintained at this temperature for 1 hour, then the temperature was raised to room temperature and the reaction continued for another 30 minutes.

The crude product was purified by silica gel column chromatography (dichloromethane:ethyl acetate:ammonia in ethanol = 25:25:1) to obtain intermediate I-2 (0.348 g, 85% yield, >20:1 dr, 99% ee).

[0178] (2) Synthesis of the final product dricidopa

[0179]

[0180] Take a 25 mL pear-shaped flask, add intermediate I-2 (0.348 g, 1.07 mmol) and 3 M sodium hydroxide aqueous solution (3.0 mL) in sequence, stir at room temperature for 16 hours, then neutralize with 1 M hydrochloric acid aqueous solution to neutral, and concentrate the solution with nitrogen gas to obtain crude product. The crude product is then washed with methanol and purified to obtain dralidopala (0.196 g, 86% yield).

[0181] Compared with Example 5, the reaction substrate 2 in step (1) is different, but the yields of both are higher (≥85%), indicating that the chiral pyridinium salt carbonyl catalyst of the present invention has universality;

[0182] Compared with Example 5, the hydrolysis conditions in step (2) are different, but both conditions can yield the target product drosidopa in high yield, indicating that both acidic and alkaline conditions can effectively hydrolyze intermediate I to obtain the target product drosidopa.

[0183] Comparative Example 1: Synthesis of Intermediate I-1 (catalyst is pyridine-type carbonyl catalyst)

[0184]

[0185] Add cat.-1 (13 mg, 0.025 mmol), compound 1a (1.69 g, 5.0 mmol), and ammonium dihydrogen phosphate (0.69 g, 6.0 mmol) sequentially to a clean 50 mL Shrek tube. After purging with nitrogen three times, cool to -40 °C. At this temperature, inject tetrahydrofuran (30 mL) and triethylamine (1.04 mL, 7.5 mmol) and maintain this temperature with stirring for 10 minutes. After the system temperature stabilizes, add compound 2a, glycine tert-butyl ester (1.74 g, 12.6 mmol), dropwise to the reaction system over 5 minutes, and return to -40 °C for 48 hours.

[0186] After the reaction was complete, 20 mL of hydroxylamine aqueous solution (50 wt.% in water) was added to the system to quench the reaction, and the mixture was diluted with methanol (20 mL). The reaction was maintained at this temperature for 1 hour, then the temperature was raised to room temperature and the reaction continued for another 30 minutes. Thin-layer chromatography analysis showed almost no product in the system.

[0187] Compared with Examples 1 to 5 of this application, the catalyst in step (1) is different. The catalyst in this comparative example is a pyridine-type carbonyl catalyst, which is not a pyridinium salt carbonyl catalyst for salt formation and has no catalytic effect on the reaction of the present invention. Therefore, the catalyst of the present invention is preferably a pyridinium salt carbonyl catalyst.

[0188] In the relevant reactions of benzylamine, the pyridinium salt carbonyl catalyst will undergo interconversion of carbonyl and amino groups under the action of benzylamine, causing the catalyst to lose its catalytic activity. Therefore, in the prior art, the preferred catalyst for the reaction of benzylamine with carbonyl-containing compounds is a pyridine-type carbonyl catalyst, rather than a salt-forming pyridinium salt carbonyl catalyst (Nat Catal. 2022, 1061–1068).

[0189] However, the inventors unexpectedly discovered during the experiment that when other non-benzylamine amine compounds (such as compound 2 glycine ester in this invention) react with carbonyl-containing compounds, the catalytic effect of pyridine-type carbonyl catalysts is inferior to that of pyridinium salt carbonyl catalysts (see Comparative Example 1 for details).

[0190] Therefore, in this invention, the applicant has selected a preferred class of pyridinium salt carbonyl catalysts for amino acid ester substrates, thereby obtaining acyl or oxycarbonyl protected (2S,3R)-3,4-dihydroxyphenylserine ester intermediate I in high yield and with high selectivity.

[0191] The above description of the embodiments is provided to enable those skilled in the art to understand and use the invention. It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that various modifications can be made to these embodiments, and the general principles described herein can be applied to other embodiments without inventive effort. Therefore, the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments, and any improvements and modifications made by those skilled in the art based on the disclosure of the present invention without departing from the scope of the invention should be within the protection scope of the present invention.
