Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of organic synthesis, specifically relating to a method for preparing bambuterol hydrochloride, and more particularly to a method for preparing bambuterol hydrochloride with high yield. Background Technology

[0002] Bambuterol hydrochloride was first marketed in Sweden in 1990 by Draco, a subsidiary of the Swiss company Astra. It is a prodrug of terbutaline, a selective β2-receptor agonist. After oral absorption, it is metabolized to terbutaline by enzymes. Terbutaline primarily activates β2 receptors in bronchial smooth muscle, thereby relaxing the bronchial smooth muscle. Additionally, bambuterol hydrochloride also inhibits the release of inflammatory mediators from mast cells. The chemical name of bambuterol hydrochloride is (R,S)-1-[bis-3',5'-(N,N-dimethylcarbamoyloxy)phenyl]-2-N-tert-butylaminoethanol hydrochloride, with the following structural formula:

[0003]

[0004] Currently, the methods for preparing bambuterol hydrochloride disclosed in the literature are mainly limited to the following reports:

[0005] The earliest reported synthetic route for bambuterol hydrochloride in European patent EP43807A2 uses 3,5-dihydroxyacetophenone as a starting material, which undergoes esterification, bromination, and reaction with tert-butylbenzylamine to obtain 3,5-bis(N,N-dimethylaminoformyloxy)-ω-N-benzyltert-butylaminoacetophenone. Bambuterol hydrochloride is then obtained by high-pressure hydrogenation under Pd / C conditions. Although this process can produce qualified bambuterol hydrochloride, the overall yield is only 20%. Furthermore, it uses highly toxic and polluting bromine and involves high-pressure hydrogenation under Pd / C conditions, making the process cumbersome, dangerous, and environmentally problematic, unsuitable for industrial production.

[0006]

[0007] The Chinese Journal of New Drugs, Volume 10, Issue 6, pp. 433-434, reports an improvement in the process by using tert-butylamine instead of tert-butylbenzylamine for amination and sodium borohydride instead of palladium on carbon for reduction, thus avoiding pressurized hydrogenation. While this process avoids high-pressure hydrogenation of Pd / C, the reaction of a primary amine with an α-carbonyl bromide results in more side reactions and increased impurities.

[0008]

[0009] Chinese patent CN109942462A discloses another method for synthesizing bambuterol hydrochloride, using 3,5-dihydroxybenzaldehyde as the starting material. The process involves esterification, thioyl ylide reaction, and alkali cyclization, followed by ammonolysis with tert-butylamine to obtain bambuterol hydrochloride. Although this process shortens the reaction steps, it still uses the highly toxic substance N,N-dimethylcarbamoyl chloride. Furthermore, the thioyl ylide reagent trimethylsulfur iodide is expensive, and the reaction requires the introduction of nitrogen gas, making the operation cumbersome. In the final step, tert-butylamine is used for ammonolysis, resulting in a yield of only 68%, which does not offer a significant cost advantage.

[0010] The aforementioned synthetic process for bambuterol hydrochloride has the following shortcomings: The raw material N,N-dimethylcarbamoyl chloride is a controlled substance and is itself a genotoxic impurity in bambuterol hydrochloride, easily remaining in the bambuterol hydrochloride and causing excessive levels of genotoxic impurities; palladium hydrogenation on carbon poses safety hazards; liquid bromine is highly corrosive, genotoxic, has a strong odor during use, and causes significant environmental pollution; the overall yield is low, reagents are expensive, and costs are high. Therefore, providing a synthetic process for bambuterol hydrochloride with high yield, low toxicity, simple preparation method, and low reaction conditions has become an urgent problem to be solved.
