Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of chiral organic compound synthesis technology, and in particular to a method for preparing (R)-1-(tetrahydrofuran-2-yl)ethylamine. Background Technology

[0002] (R)-1-(tetrahydrofuran-2-yl)ethylamine is an important chiral primary amine intermediate. Its molecular structure simultaneously contains a chiral center, a tetrahydrofuran heterocycle, and an amino functional group, exhibiting excellent reactivity and flexible structural modification capabilities. It is widely used in pharmaceuticals, pesticides, and new materials, playing an irreplaceable role as a key chiral building block, particularly in the synthesis of drugs for cardiovascular diseases and antitumor diseases. With the continued development of the chiral drug market, the demand for high-purity, low-cost (R)-1-(tetrahydrofuran-2-yl)ethylamine is increasing, making the development of efficient and green preparation methods a current research hotspot in this field.

[0003] Currently, the existing technologies for preparing (R)-1-(tetrahydrofuran-2-yl)ethylamine mainly fall into three categories: First, using chiral alcohols (such as (R)-1-(tetrahydrofuran-2-yl)ethanol) or chiral halides (such as (R)-2-(1-haloethyl)tetrahydrofuran) as starting materials, and preparing them through ammonolysis. However, the starting materials are expensive, and the ammonolysis reaction requires high pressure and high temperature conditions, making the reaction conditions harsh and requiring large equipment investments. Second, some technologies use racemic resolution to prepare (R)-1-(tetrahydrofuran-2-yl)ethylamine. This method requires expensive chiral resolving agents, which not only further increases production costs but also results in low resolution yields. Furthermore, the resolution process generates a large number of byproducts, leading to high levels of waste gas, wastewater, and solid waste, which does not meet the requirements of green chemical development. Third, some synthetic methods involve cumbersome steps, requiring intermediate products to undergo complex purification processes such as column chromatography for separation and purification. These methods are difficult to operate, have low production efficiency, and are difficult to scale up for industrial production.

[0004] Therefore, there is an urgent need to develop a new method for preparing (R)-1-(tetrahydrofuran-2-yl)ethylamine that uses readily available raw materials, has mild reaction conditions, simple steps, stable yield, and is cost-effective and efficient in purification. Summary of the Invention

[0005] To address the problems of high raw material costs, harsh reaction conditions, complex purification processes, and low yields in existing methods for preparing (R)-1-(tetrahydrofuran-2-yl)ethylamine, this invention provides a method for preparing (R)-1-(tetrahydrofuran-2-yl)ethylamine.

[0006] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the technical solution provided by the present invention is as follows: A method for preparing (R)-1-(tetrahydrofuran-2-yl)ethylamine includes the following steps: S1, in the presence of a chiral retention catalyst, (R)-tetrahydrofuran-2-carboxylic acid is esterified with a short-chain alcohol to obtain (R)-tetrahydrofuran-2-carboxylic acid ester; wherein, the chiral retention catalyst is a tertiary amine sulfonic acid inner salt type polymeric ionic liquid resin. S2,(R)-tetrahydrofuran-2-carboxylate reacts with N,O-dimethylhydroxylamine or its salt via a nucleophilic substitution reaction to yield (R)-tetrahydrofuran-N-methoxy-N-methylamide as shown in formula (Ⅰ); S3, (R)-tetrahydrofuran-N-methoxy-N-methylamide and methyl Grignard reagent undergo Grignard reaction to give (R)-1-(tetrahydrofuran-2-yl)ethyl ketone as shown in formula (II); S4, (R)-1-(tetrahydrofuran-2-yl)ethyl ketone undergoes a reducing amination reaction to obtain (R)-1-(tetrahydrofuran-2-yl)ethylamine as shown in formula (III); .

[0007] Compared with the prior art, the preparation method of (R)-1-(tetrahydrofuran-2-yl)ethylamine provided by the present invention starts from the inexpensive and readily available starting material (R)-tetrahydrofuran-2-carboxylic acid, and the target product can be obtained through four steps of esterification, nucleophilic substitution, Grignard reaction and reductive amination. It has the characteristics of simple process, high chiral center retention rate and excellent optical purity of product.

[0008] In step S1, a tertiary amine sulfonic acid inner salt type polymeric ionic liquid resin was used as a catalyst for the methyl esterification process of (R)-tetrahydrofuran-2-carboxylic acid. This catalyst not only exhibits high catalytic activity, efficiently promoting the esterification reaction, but also effectively maintains the chiral configuration of the raw materials and products, effectively avoiding chiral racemization and ensuring the optical purity of the target product. Furthermore, the catalyst possesses good stability and recyclability, allowing for repeated use and significantly reducing catalyst usage costs, thus meeting the requirements of green chemical development. Subsequent nucleophilic substitution and Grignard reactions were used to prepare a methyl ketone intermediate, followed by reductive amination to introduce an amino group. The reaction conditions at each step were mild, requiring less sophisticated equipment. The reaction process resulted in low emissions of waste and low byproduct formation, with stable overall yields and high product optical purity. This approach facilitates large-scale industrial production and demonstrates significant industrial application value and economic benefits.

[0009] It should be noted that the short-chain alcohols mentioned in this invention refer to C1-C4 alcohols. As a preferred embodiment, the short-chain alcohol is selected from any one of methanol, ethanol, n-propanol, isopropanol, n-butanol, isobutanol, or tert-butanol. Methanol is further preferred considering factors such as raw material cost and reactivity. In a specific embodiment of this invention, anhydrous methanol is used as the esterification reagent. Under the catalysis of a tertiary amine sulfonic acid inner salt type polymeric ionic liquid resin, it undergoes an esterification reaction with (R)-tetrahydrofuran-2-carboxylic acid, achieving a high yield and high optical purity for the target esterified product.

[0010] It should be noted that the methyl Grignard reagent described in this invention refers to an organomagnesium halide reagent containing a methyl-magnesium bond (CH3-Mg) in its molecular structure, with the general formula CH3MgX, where X is selected from Cl, bromine Br, or I. As a preferred embodiment, the methyl Grignard reagent is any one or more of methylmagnesium chloride, methylmagnesium bromide, or methylmagnesium iodide. In specific embodiments of this invention, considering both reactivity and economy, a tetrahydrofuran solution of methylmagnesium bromide is preferred.

[0011] It should be further noted that the reductive amination reaction described in step S4 of this invention can employ conventional reaction conditions and reagent systems in the art. Reductive amination refers to the reaction in which a carbonyl compound (such as an aldehyde or ketone) and an aminating agent, in the presence of a reducing agent, are converted in one step into the corresponding amine compound via an imine or imine ion intermediate. In this invention, the aminating agent can be any suitable nitrogen source capable of providing an amino group, including but not limited to ammonia, ammonia water, ammonium salts (such as ammonium formate, ammonium acetate, ammonium chloride), or organic amines; the reducing agent can be any reducing agent commonly used in reductive amination reactions in the art, including but not limited to sodium borohydride, sodium cyanoborohydride, sodium triacetoxyborohydride, or borane complexes. The reaction solvent can be a lower alcohol such as methanol, ethanol, or isopropanol, or an aqueous mixture thereof. As a preferred technical solution, this invention uses ammonium formate as the aminating agent, sodium cyanoborohydride as the reducing agent, and methanol as the solvent. This combination has advantages such as mild reaction conditions, high selectivity, and easy product purification, and is suitable for maintaining the chiral center in this system.

[0012] As a specific embodiment of the present invention, the preparation method of (R)-1-(tetrahydrofuran-2-yl)ethylamine specifically includes the following steps: S1, (R)-tetrahydrofuran-2-carboxylic acid and anhydrous methanol are subjected to methyl esterification reaction in the presence of a chiral catalyst to obtain methyl (R)-tetrahydrofuran-2-carboxylic acid. Under the conditions of S2, organic solvent and catalyst, methyl (R)-tetrahydrofuran-2-carboxylate and N,O-dimethylhydroxylamine hydrochloride were subjected to a nucleophilic substitution reaction in an inert atmosphere to obtain (R)-tetrahydrofuran-N-methoxy-N-methylamide as shown in formula (Ⅰ). S3, under an inert atmosphere, (R)-tetrahydrofuran-N-methoxy-N-methylamide and methyl Grignard reagent undergo a Grignard reaction in an organic solvent to obtain (R)-1-(tetrahydrofuran-2-yl)ethyl ketone as shown in formula (II); S4, under an inert atmosphere, (R)-1-(tetrahydrofuran-2-yl)ethyl ketone, an amination agent, and a reducing agent undergo a reductive amination reaction in an alcohol solvent to obtain (R)-1-(tetrahydrofuran-2-yl)ethylamine as shown in formula (III); S5, the (R)-1-(tetrahydrofuran-2-yl)ethylamine is reacted with an acid in an organic solvent to form a salt precipitate. After separation of the precipitate, it is dissociated by base to obtain (R)-1-(tetrahydrofuran-2-yl)ethylamine. The reaction route is as follows:

[0013] Furthermore, the tertiary amine sulfonic acid inner salt type polymeric ionic liquid resin is prepared by reacting one of imidazole, pyridine or triethylamine with sulfonate lactone or hydroxysulfonic acid to form an ionic liquid monomer, and then reacting it with formaldehyde to form a polymerization reaction.

[0014] During the research and development process, the inventors attempted a traditional esterification process, using concentrated sulfuric acid as a catalyst for the methyl esterification reaction of (R)-tetrahydrofuran-2-carboxylic acid with methanol in step S1. However, experimental results showed that this process route suffers from severe chiral racemization problems, leading to a significant decrease in the ee value of the final product.

[0015] The inventors unexpectedly discovered that using a tertiary amine sulfonic acid inner salt type polymeric ionic liquid resin as a catalyst can effectively suppress the occurrence of chiral racemization, maintaining the ee value of the final product stably above 99%, thus fully ensuring the high optical purity of the target product and meeting the stringent requirements of the pharmaceutical field for intermediates. Simultaneously, this catalyst has significant advantages over concentrated sulfuric acid: it is not highly corrosive and will not corrode reaction equipment; it also exhibits high catalytic activity, efficiently promoting the methyl esterification reaction of (R)-tetrahydrofuran-2-carboxylic acid with methanol, significantly improving the reaction conversion rate and reaction rate, and shortening the reaction cycle; furthermore, the catalyst has good stability and recyclability, and can be separated and recovered through simple filtration after the reaction, maintaining high catalytic activity even after multiple reuses, effectively reducing the cost of catalyst use and minimizing resource waste.
