Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This application relates to a method for preparing bosine, which belongs to the field of organic synthesis. Background Technology
[0002] Pro-Xylane is a xylose derivative with anti-aging effects, also known as hydroxypropyltetrahydropyranotriol. Its chemical structure is 1-C-(β-D-xylanoside)-2-hydroxypropane. Studies have shown that hydroxypropyltetrahydropyranotriol can rebuild cell structure by promoting the formation of intercellular mucopolysaccharides, thereby promoting epidermal repair, improving skin elasticity, and combating skin aging.
[0003] The specific structure of Bosein (hydroxypropyltetrahydropyranotriol) is as follows:
[0004]
[0005] Hydroxypropyltetrahydropyranotriol, the main anti-wrinkle and anti-aging component of Pro-Xylane, exists in two diastereomers: 1-C-(β-D-xylanopyranoside)-2-(S)-hydroxypropane and 1-C-(β-D-xylanopyranoside)-2-(R)-hydroxypropane (hereinafter referred to as (β,S) / (β,R)). The ratio of these two isomers has a significant impact on the bioactivity of Pro-Xylane products. (Alexandre Cavezza et al., Synthesis of Pro-Xylane) TMA new biologically active C-glycoside inaqueous media, Bioorganic & Medicinal Chemistry Letters 19(2009)845-849, discloses a method for synthesizing C-glycosides in water. Specifically, it describes the synthesis of Bosein with a (β,S) / (β,R) ratio of 95 / 5 in a mixed solvent of isopropanol and acetic acid using sodium borohydride as a reducing agent, and the synthesis of Bosein with a (β,S) / (β,R) ratio of 50 / 50 using sodium borohydride as a reducing agent in water. Invention patent CN202311146214.5 discloses a dehydrogenase mutant and its application in the synthesis of S-Bosein, mainly using xylose and glucose as substrates and a dehydrogenase KPADH mutant as a catalyst to synthesize Bosein with a single (β,S) configuration. Invention patent CN202311146033.2 discloses the application and synthesis method of dehydrogenase in the synthesis of R-configuration Bosein, mainly using a combination of dehydrogenase SMADH2, glucose dehydrogenase GDH, coenzyme and glucose to synthesize a single (β, R) configuration of Bosein. Invention patent CN202211037235.9 discloses a method for producing colorless, odorless, and borate-free Bosein. This method separates water-soluble Bosein intermediates and products from the high-salt water phase after the reaction using a protecting group, and obtains a single (β, S) configuration of Bosein through chiral metal catalysis. Invention patent CN202111291311.4 discloses a method for synthesizing Bosein through acetal / ketal protection followed by reduction. This method involves reacting the intermediate with a dihydroxy protecting agent to form acetal or ketal, acetone or methoxybutanone groups to protect the hydroxyl group, followed by reduction and deprotection treatment to obtain a single (β, S) configuration of Bosein.
[0006] Existing processes for synthesizing Bosein include chemical synthesis and bio-enzyme catalysis. Both methods require different combinations of catalysts or enzymes to prepare Bosein with different (β, S) and (β, R) isomer ratios. The resulting Bosein configurations are uniform and the process is cumbersome, which is not conducive to the industrial scale-up of Bosein and results in high production line construction costs. Therefore, it is of great significance to develop a method that uses the same reducing agent and simply changes the concentration or amount of inorganic acid / base added to obtain Bosein with different (β, S) and (β, R) isomer ratios. Summary of the Invention
[0007] The purpose of this invention is to provide a method for controlling the configuration ratio of Bosein using inorganic acids / bases. Using the intermediate product 1-C-(β-D-xylanosyl)-acetone obtained from a condensation reaction as a raw material, a reduction reaction is carried out in an alcohol solvent by simply changing the concentration or amount of the added inorganic acid / base. This yields Bosein with a wide range of (β,S) / (β,R) isomer ratios, specifically 99:1 to 30:70. This method, using the same reducing agent and solvent, achieves wide-range control of the (β,S) / (β,R) isomer ratio by simply changing the concentration or amount of the inorganic acid / base. This simplifies the industrial scale-up process, reduces production line construction costs, and is beneficial for the industrial production of Bosein.
[0008] According to one aspect of this application, a method for preparing Bosein is provided, comprising the following steps:
[0009] 1-C-(β-D-xylanosyl)-acetone, alcohol solvent, inorganic acid / base and reducing agent are mixed, reacted, filtered, desalted, decolorized and distilled to obtain Bosein with a purity of more than 98%.

Then, an inorganic acid / base and a reducing agent were added sequentially, and the reaction was carried out. After the reaction was completed, the mixture was filtered, and the alcohol solvent was recovered by vacuum distillation. The distilled solid was dissolved in deionized water and desalted by passing it through an ion exchange column. The desalted aqueous solution was adsorbed and decolorized by activated carbon, and then distilled under reduced pressure to obtain the Bosein.

[0019] The reducing agent is selected from at least one of potassium borohydride, zinc borohydride, sodium borate, lithium aluminum hydride, sodium triacetoxyborohydride, and lithium triethylborohydride.
[0020] The molar ratio of 1-C-(β-D-xylanosyl)-acetone to the reducing agent is 1:1.3 to 1:1.8.
[0021] Optionally, the molar ratio of 1-C-(β-D-xylanosyl)-acetone to the reducing agent is any value among 1:1.3, 1:1.4, 1:1.5, 1:1.6, 1:1.7, and 1:1.8, or any range between the two.

[0030] The beneficial effects that this application can produce include:
[0031] As a high-end raw material in anti-aging cosmetics, the ratio of its (β, S) / (β, R) isomers significantly affects its bioactivity and transdermal absorption. Existing synthesis processes for BOXIN include chemical synthesis and bio-enzymatic catalysis. Both methods require different combinations of catalysts or enzymes to prepare BOXIN with varying (β, S) and (β, R) isomer ratios. The resulting BOXIN configuration is limited by the type of catalyst or enzyme used, and the process is cumbersome, hindering industrial-scale production and resulting in high production line construction costs. Therefore, a solution is needed that allows for the production of BOXIN with different (β, S) and (β, R) isomer ratios by simply changing the reducing agent, solvent, or inorganic acid / base while maintaining the same process. The inorganic acids / bases used should be inexpensive and readily available, demonstrating significant industrial value. Attached Figure Description
