Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of drug synthesis, in particular to a method for preparing azelaic acid amide compound. Background Art

[0002] Azelaic acid MEA is a new type of sebum balancer, suitable for the care of oily and seborrheic skin. Azelaic acid MEA is a derivative of azelaic acid, which has the same biological activity as azelaic acid, but does not have the inherent disadvantages of azelaic acid such as poor solubility in water / oil, destruction of the emulsification system, difficulty in exerting the effect, and high irritation. The effects of azelaic acid MEA include: 1. Helping oily skin, seborrheic skin, and skin with multiple melasma to maintain the balance of oil secretion; 2. Can be used in cosmeceuticals for the treatment of acne and blackheads, and is effective against Propionibacterium acnes, Corynebacterium and Staphylococcus epidermidis; 3. Has a good whitening effect and can be used to treat spots and chloasma; 4. Used in conjunction with pyridoxine and zinc, it can inhibit 5-alpha reductase; 5. Has a good exfoliating (dead skin removal) effect; 6. Can be used to treat rosacea (red spots and papulopustular rosacea).

[0003] Currently, it is reported that there are two methods for synthesizing azelaic acid amide MEA:

[0004] Method 1: Azelaic anhydride is directly reacted with ethanolamine to form amide (Organic Preparation and Procedures International, 2013, vol. 45, #4, p. 314-320).

[0005] Method 2: First, attach a protective group to the hydroxyl group of ethanolamine, and then react with acyl chloride to form amide (WO2007 / 88999, 2007, A1)

[0006] Of the above two methods, the azelaic anhydride in method 1 is difficult to synthesize and has a low yield. The process of attaching a protecting group to the hydroxyl group of ethanolamine in method 2 and removing the protecting group is quite complicated and is not conducive to industrial production. Summary of the invention

[0007] Therefore, it is necessary to provide a method for preparing azelaic acid amide compound to solve the problem that the existing azelaic acid amide MEA is difficult to synthesize and has a low yield.

[0008] To achieve the above object, the present invention provides the following technical solutions. The present invention provides a method for preparing azelaic acid amide compound, comprising the following steps:

[0009] (1) using azelaic acid monomethyl ester, i.e. compound I, as the starting reactant, and reacting with 2-haloethylamine to obtain compound II,

[0010] (2) Compound II and formate are used as reaction raw materials, methanol is used as solvent, and compound III is obtained by one-step reaction, namely, azelaic acid amide MEA.

[0011] The reaction formula is as follows:

[0012]

[0013] Wherein X is a halogen element.

[0014] In some embodiments, during the process of compound I synthesizing compound II, the organic solvent is one or more of alcohols, organic amines, and alicyclic hydrocarbons.

[0015] In some embodiments, during the process of compound I synthesizing compound II, the alcohol is methanol.

[0016] In some embodiments, in step (1), the molar ratio of monomethyl azelaic acid ester to 2-haloethylamine is 1:1.1-1:2, the reaction temperature is 35°C-65°C, and the reaction time is 2h-8h.

[0017] In some embodiments, in step (1), the molar ratio of monomethyl azelaic acid ester to 2-haloethylamine is 1:1.3-1:1.5, the reaction temperature is 40°C-60°C, and the reaction time is 2h-3h.

[0018] The setting of feed ratio, reaction temperature and reaction time will affect the yield and purity of the compound. In this article, the preferred reaction conditions are that the molar ratio of monomethyl azelaic acid and 2-haloethylamine is 1:1.3-1:1.5, the reaction temperature is 40°C-60°C, and the reaction time is 2h-3h, so that the purity of the prepared compound can reach more than 95%, and the yield of the compound in step (1) can reach more than 80%.

[0019] In some embodiments, the 2-haloethylamine is selected from 2-bromoethylamine hydrobromide or 2-chloroethylamine hydrochloride.

[0020] In some embodiments, an organic base is added in step (1) as an acid-binding agent. The acid-binding agent can neutralize the acid generated in step (1), thereby promoting the reaction in step (1).

[0021] In some embodiments, the acid binding agent may be triethylamine, DIEA or pyridine, and the molar ratio of the acid binding agent to the monomethyl azelate (Compound I) is 1:2.0-1:3, preferably 1:2.3-1:2.5.

[0022] In some embodiments, after the reaction in step (1) is completed, the solvent is evaporated under reduced pressure, water is added to dissolve, acid is added to adjust the pH, and then extraction is performed and rotary evaporation is performed to obtain compound II. In step (1) of the present invention, by controlling the reaction conditions, the reaction product is made single, and the reaction product can reach a purity of more than 95% after simple acid adjustment and extraction without further purification treatment.

[0023] In some embodiments, in step (2), the molar ratio of compound II to formate is 1:0.95-1:2.05, the reaction temperature is 35°C-65°C, and the reaction time is 4h-10h.

[0024] In some embodiments, in step (2), the molar ratio of compound II to formate is 1:1-1:2, the reaction temperature is 40°C-60°C, and the reaction time is 5h-6h.

[0025] The setting of feed ratio, reaction temperature and reaction time will affect the yield and purity of the compound. In this article, the preferred reaction conditions are that the molar ratio of compound II and formate is 1:1-1:2, the reaction temperature is 40°C-60°C, and the reaction time is 5h-6h, so that the purity of the prepared compound can reach more than 98%, and the yield of the compound in step (2) can reach more than 80%.

[0026] In some embodiments, the formate salt is potassium formate or sodium formate.

[0027] In some embodiments, in step (2), after the reaction between compound II and formate is completed, the methanol solvent is evaporated under reduced pressure, water is added to cool, and the nonanediamide compound is precipitated.

[0028] In step (2) of the present invention, the reaction conditions are controlled so that the reaction product is single and the reaction product can reach a purity of more than 98.5% by simply adding water and precipitating it without further purification treatment.

[0029] In some embodiments, water is added to cool to 10-20°C.

[0030] The above technical solution has the following beneficial effects:

[0031] In the present invention, monomethyl azelaic acid is used as a raw material to obtain azelaic acid amide compound MEA with high yield and high purity through two-step reaction. The total yield of the two reaction steps can be above 70%. The intermediate product compound II and the final reaction product compound III can be obtained by simple extraction and precipitation with water to obtain a compound with a purity of more than 95%.

[0032] In the step (1) of the present invention, the reaction temperature and reaction conditions of monomethyl azelaic acid and 2-haloethylamine are controlled so that the product is a single-end aminolysis product of monomethyl azelaic acid, and in the step (2), methanol is used as a solvent, compound II and formate first undergo a substitution reaction, and then thermal decomposition of the ester occurs, thereby preparing azelaic acid amide compound MEA with high purity and high yield.
