Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field related to the synthesis of pharmaceutical intermediates, and in particular to a synthesis process of a tenofovir intermediate. Background Art

[0002] Tenofovir, chemically known as (R)-{[2-(6-amino-9H-purin-9-yl)-1-methylethoxy]methyl}phosphonic acid, or (R)-9-(2-phosphonomethoxypropyl)adenine, has the following structural formula:

[0003]

[0004] (R)-(+)-9-(2-hydroxypropyl)adenine is a key intermediate in the synthesis of tenofovir. Due to the stereochemical factors in this compound, the desired product has a single configuration, making its synthesis relatively difficult. Currently, the methods for synthesizing (R)-(+)-9-(2-hydroxypropyl)adenine are mainly the following:

[0005] Synthesis Route 1

[0006] The document Collect Czech. Chem. Commun., 1995, 60, 1196 reports a method for preparing (R)-(+)-9-(2-hydroxypropyl)adenine using isobutyl lactate as a starting material through a five-step reaction. This method requires five steps, including protection and deprotection steps, and uses special red aluminum, resulting in high process costs and low industrial value.

[0007] Route 1

[0008]

[0009] Synthesis Route 2

[0010] Patent US5935946A1 protects a method for preparing (R)-(+)-9-(2-hydroxypropyl)adenine via a three-step reaction using (R)-cyclopropanol as a raw material. This method has a relatively short reaction process, but the raw material (R)-cyclopropanol is expensive and requires hydrogen reduction. This short synthetic route, however, has been shown in numerous experiments to inevitably racemize the reaction product of adenine and R-propylene carbonate under alkaline conditions, resulting in a final product with an optical purity of only 90%-94%, which falls short of clinical application requirements. Recrystallization is required to improve enantioselectivity to meet these requirements, but literature reports indicate unstable recrystallization yields, which increases costs to a certain extent. Furthermore, the reaction of adenine and R-propylene carbonate requires anhydrous and oxygen-free treatment, placing higher demands on instrumentation and equipment. This reduces its industrial value.

[0011] Route 2

[0012]

[0013] Synthesis Route 3

[0014] CN103374038B discloses a method for preparing tenofovir disoproxil fumarate. Specifically, the method uses adenine as a starting material and reacts it with (R)-propylene oxide under quaternary ammonium catalysis to obtain (R)-9-(2-hydroxypropyl)adenine through crystallization. Then, tenofovir is obtained through steps such as phosphorylation, hydrolysis, and acidification. The method discloses a method for quickly introducing a chiral alcohol at the 9-position of adenine. However, the method requires the use of a large amount of expensive chiral cyclopropane, resulting in high production costs and low reaction yields.

[0015] Route 3

[0016]

[0017] Synthesis Route 4

[0018] Chinese patent CN106632340A reports a method for synthesizing a tenofovir intermediate, wherein 9-formyl adenine with a primary amine protected by a Y acetyl group is subjected to a reflux reaction with ethyl formate under alkaline conditions to obtain 9-formyl adenine, which is then deprotected and subjected to a Witting reaction with ethyl triphenylphosphine in the presence of a base to obtain 9-propenyl adenine, which is then oxidized with tetramethylpiperidine nitrogen oxide under the induction of (S)-(-)-2,2'-bis(diphenylphosphino)-1,1'-binaphthyl to selectively obtain the tenofovir chiral intermediate (R)-9-(2-hydroxypropyl) adenine. This scheme is simple to operate and has a high yield, but requires four steps and is prone to producing cis-trans isomers, resulting in a reduced yield. In addition, the waste generated by the ethyl triphenylphosphine after the reaction is difficult to handle.

[0019] Route 4
