Specifically, under the catalytic conditions of nickel and nitrogen ligands, tetrahydrofuran is carbonylated with olefins and alcohols in a CO atmosphere to prepare naphthofuram ester. The method uses inexpensive and readily available tetrahydrofuran and alcohol as raw materials, uses CO gas as a carbonyl source, and, under the action of a catalytic amount of inexpensive nickel catalyst, produces the naphthofuram ester product in a one-step process with high atomic utilization.

Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to a method for synthesizing naphthofuram. Background Art

[0002] Nafuramide, also known as clarithromycin, is a peripheral vasodilator. It is used to treat various conditions caused by cerebrovascular disease, such as cerebral metabolic disorders, stroke sequelae, and Alzheimer's disease. It is also widely used for peripheral vascular disease, intermittent diarrhoea, painful spasms, vasculitis, capillaritis, diabetic arteriopathic artery disease, and nutritional ulcers.

[0003] The current industrial manufacturing methods for naphthofuram have the disadvantages of high production costs and complicated procedures. Most current synthesis methods require 5-6 steps, which greatly reduces the synthesis efficiency. In the past two decades, chemists have also made new attempts to synthesize naphthofuram, with the aim of making the synthesis route simpler and more cost-effective, but these new attempts have mainly focused on a single step in the synthesis route. To this end, we have also further studied and improved the synthesis method of naphthofuram, designed a four-component carbonylation reaction of 1-allylnaphthalene, tetrahydrofuran, and diethylaminoethanol, and directly synthesized naphthofuram through a one-step method, greatly shortening the synthesis route.

[0004] In summary, this paper describes a novel nickel-catalyzed carbonylation esterification of olefins to prepare naphthofuramin esters. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The object of the present invention is to provide a method for synthesizing naphthofuram.

[0006]

[0007] Reaction Equation 1: Synthesis of naphthofuram ester

[0008] The specific operation steps are as follows (reaction equation 1):

[0009] The reaction is carried out in a 300 ml autoclave. The catalyst, catalyst promoter, and alcohol are weighed. Peroxide and tetrahydrofuran are injected under a nitrogen atmosphere. The reaction is placed in a carbon monoxide atmosphere at 70-150°C, preferably 110-130°C. The reaction time is 10-36 hours, preferably 18-24 hours. After the reaction is completed, naphthofuram ester 4 is isolated.

[0010] The catalyst is nickel di(acetylacetonate), nickel acetate, nickel chloride, or nickel iodide, preferably nickel di(acetylacetonate). The catalyst promoter is 6,6'-dimethyl-2,2'-bipyridine, 4,4'-dimethyl-2,2'-bipyridine, or 2,2'-bipyridine, preferably 4,4'-dimethyl-2,2'-bipyridine.

[0011] The molar ratio of alcohol to nickel di(acetylacetonate) and 6,6'-dimethyl-2,2'-bipyridine is 100:1:1-100:20:20, preferably 100:5:5-100:10:10.

[0012] The gas pressure of carbon monoxide is 1 to 30 atmospheres, preferably 1 to 10 atmospheres.

[0013] The present invention has the following advantages:

[0014] First, the one-step process replaces the traditional multi-step reaction, eliminating the need for complex steps, reducing costs and significantly improving synthesis efficiency. Second, the carbonylation synthesis of naphthofuram esters does not require expensive transition metal catalysis systems. Third, the carbonyl gas CO is used as the carbonyl source, which is inexpensive and readily available.

[0015] The invention uses gaseous CO as a carbonyl source and, under the action of a catalytic amount of a cheap metal nickel catalyst, obtains the product of ether naphthyl furan ester with high atomic utilization and high efficiency. DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0016] In order to better understand the present invention, the following examples are provided for illustration:

[0017]

[0018] Example 1

[0019] The reaction was carried out in a 300 ml autoclave. First, nickel diacetylacetonate (0.015 mmol) and 4,4'-dimethyl-2,2'-bipyridine (0.015 mmol) were added to a 4 ml glass vial and mixed. Under a nitrogen atmosphere, 1.5 ml of tetrahydrofuran was added as a solvent, and diethylaminoethanol 3 (0.3 mmol) and di-tert-butyl peroxide (0.75 mmol) were injected to obtain a mixture. The vial was capped with a rubber cap. The reaction vial was placed in a high-pressure reactor, and carbon monoxide was replaced in the high-pressure reactor by filling it with 5 atmospheres of carbon monoxide. At this time, the carbon monoxide in the reactor was connected to the interior of the vial through the needle. The reaction was then carried out at 120° C. for 22.0 hours. After the reaction was completed, naphthofuram ester 4 was obtained by column chromatography separation with a yield of 46%. The compound was identified by nuclear magnetic resonance (H and C) and high-resolution mass spectrometry.
