Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of pharmaceutical technology, specifically relating to the preparation method of phosphodiesterase inhibitors and preparation intermediates. Background Technology

[0002] Phosphodiesterase 9 (PDE) is an important member of the PDE family and has very high selectivity for cGMP. Its inhibitors are used to treat cognitive impairment caused by central nervous system disorders, such as Alzheimer's disease and schizophrenia, as well as neurodegenerative diseases of the brain.

[0003] 6-Ethyl-4-(4-methoxy-4-methylpiperidin-1-yl)-2-oxo-1,2-dihydro-1,7-diazanaphthalene-3-carboxynitrile (i.e., compound 107 in Example 71 of WO2019062733A1) is an inhibitor of PDE9.

[0004] Example 71 of WO2019062733A1 discloses the following preparation method, which includes the following steps:

[0005]

[0006] Introducing substituents at positions 4 and 6 of the 1,7-diazanaphthalene ring requires coupling and nucleophilic substitution reactions, resulting in a long reaction process and low overall yield. In the preparation of compound 107, the intermediate 4,6-dichloro-2-oxo-1,2-dihydro-1,7-diazanaphthalene-3-carboxynitrile (structure shown below) is required as the starting point for synthesis.

[0007]

[0008] Preparation Example 2 of WO2019062733A1 discloses a method for preparing the intermediate 4,6-dichloro-2-oxo-1,2-dihydro-1,7-diazanaphthalene-3-carboxynitrile.

[0009]

[0010] This requires 15 mL of phosphorus oxychloride (density 1.64 g / cm³). 3 The molecular weight is 153.33 g / mol, which is equivalent to 24.6 g, 0.16 mol, or 7 equivalents, yielding approximately 0.7 equivalents of the target product. In other words, to obtain 1 equivalent of 6-ethyl-4-(4-methoxy-4-methylpiperidin-1-yl)-2-oxo-1,2-dihydro-1,7-diazanaphthalene-3-carboxynitrile, the method disclosed in WO2019062733A1 requires approximately 30 equivalents of phosphorus oxychloride.

[0011] WO2020182076A1 discloses the same method for preparing the intermediate 4,6-dichloro-2-oxo-1,2-dihydro-1,7-diazanaphthalene-3-carboxynitrile (page 28, Preparation Example 1, Step 3).

[0012] WO2020182076A1 also discloses a method for preparing 6-ethyl-4-chloro-2-oxo-1,2-dihydro-1,7-diazanaphthalene-3-carboxylonitrile (page 29, Preparation Example 2, Step 3). According to this method, to prepare 1 equivalent of 6-ethyl-4-chloro-2-oxo-1,2-dihydro-1,7-diazanaphthalene-3-carboxylonitrile, 5.13 equivalents of phosphorus oxychloride are required, and chromatographic separation is also necessary.

[0013] Phosphorus oxychloride is highly toxic, explosive, and causes significant environmental pollution. Therefore, it is desirable to minimize its use in the synthesis process. In actual pharmaceutical manufacturing, a shorter process flow and avoidance of purification operations are also desirable to improve yield. Therefore, further research into scale-up synthesis will require improvements to the synthesis process to further reduce production costs, minimize waste generation, and enhance process safety.

[0352] The novel preparation method of the present invention has the following advantages:

[0353] (1) Compared with the prior art, the present invention can significantly reduce the amount of halogenated reagents such as phosphorus oxychloride while maintaining the same or even higher yield. That is, less amount of halogenated reagents such as phosphorus oxychloride can be used to obtain the same or even higher amount of target product. This reduces production costs and significantly reduces the amount of waste generated.

[0354] (2) In large-scale factory production, the use of large quantities of certain halogenated reagents such as phosphorus oxychloride can cause a huge amount of heat to be generated instantaneously during the quenching process in the post-processing, which poses an explosion risk if not handled properly. The present invention significantly reduces the amount of such halogenated reagents such as phosphorus oxychloride used, thereby correspondingly reducing the heat generated in the post-processing, improving the safety of the post-processing system, and making it more suitable for large-scale factory production.

[0355] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included within the scope of protection of the present invention.
