Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of organic synthesis and relates to a new synthesis method of the novel coronavirus therapeutic drug Paroverde, and in particular to a new synthesis method of the intermediate 6,6-dimethyl-3-azabicyclo (3.2.0) hexane hydrochloride. Background Art
[0002] Paxlovid is a new generation of effective drug developed by Pfizer for the treatment of new coronavirus. It is now available in the UK. Its structure is as follows:
[0003]
[0004] 6,6-Dimethyl-3-azabicyclo (3.2.0) hexane hydrochloride is a key intermediate. It is primarily obtained by reduction of (1R,5S)-6,6-dimethyl-2,4-dioxo-3-azabicyclo [3.1.0] hexane. The reduction methods available in the prior art mainly include the following two methods:
[0005] Method 1: (1R,5S)-6,6-dimethyl-2,4-dioxo-3-azabicyclo[3.1.0]hexane is reduced using lithium aluminum tetrahydride. Lithium aluminum tetrahydride reacts violently with water, releasing hydrogen. There is a risk of explosion during large-scale production and it is difficult to control. In addition, lithium aluminum tetrahydride is expensive and not suitable for large-scale production.
[0006] Method 2: (1R,5S)-6,6-dimethyl-2,4-dioxo-3-azabicyclo[3.1.0]hexane is reduced using a combination of Lewis acid and borohydride. The Lewis acid used is aluminum chloride, nickel chloride, ferric bromide, etc., and the borohydride is sodium borohydride, potassium borohydride, lithium borohydride, etc. The disadvantages of this method are long reaction time, high impurities, and complex post-processing.
