Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of organic synthesis, and in particular to a method for synthesizing a levofloxacin drug and its intermediates. Background Technology

[0002] SGLT, short for sodium-dependent glucose cotransporter, is a crucial transport protein in the human body responsible for glucose reabsorption. It utilizes the electrochemical potential of sodium ions to transport glucose against its concentration gradient. Among the SGLT protein family in the human body, SGLT1 and SGLT2 are the most critical for glucose absorption and homeostasis. SGLT1 is widely distributed in the renal cortex, intestines, heart, and lungs, while SGLT2 is expressed almost exclusively in the renal cortex.

[0003] Inhibiting the glucose transport function of SGLT2 prevents SGLT2 from reabsorbing glucose from the renal tubules, leading to the excretion of excess glucose in the urine and thus indirectly lowering blood glucose levels. However, inhibition of SGLT1 can cause glucose-lactose malabsorption. Due to the unique distribution characteristics of SGLT2 and its insulin-independent hypoglycemic effect, SGLT2 inhibitors have attracted much attention in recent years.

[0004] Currently, several SGLT2 inhibitors have been used in the clinical treatment of type 2 diabetes, such as dapagliflozin, empagliflozin, canagliflozin, and ipragliflozin. In addition, dozens of companies have been approved for clinical trials of these derivatives. The Chinese market for SGLT2 inhibitors is expected to exceed several billion yuan, and research and development enthusiasm is high.

[0005]

[0006] Currently marketed SGLT2 inhibitors are mainly β-C-aryl glycosides, meaning that the aryl group is linked to the 1 position of the sugar backbone via a carbon glycosidic bond. Their synthesis methods can be classified according to the raw materials into gluconolactone method, glycosyl leaving group method, and gluconolactone epoxide method.

[0007] Gluconolactone method: An addition reaction is performed between an aryl metal reagent (such as aryllithium) and a protected gluconolactone (2). The resulting compound (3) is then reacted with methanol to prepare a ketal compound (4). Finally, β-C-aryl glucoside compounds (6) are obtained through reduction, resolution, and other steps. Empagliflozin, canagliflozin, dapagliflozin, and epagliptin were initially synthesized using this method (see WO2004063209, WO2006117359, US2010094025, WO2005012326).

[0008]

[0009] Glycosyl leaving group method: Electron-withdrawing groups such as bromine, chlorine, and sulfonate esters are installed at position 1 of the glycosyl backbone to prepare electron-deficient glycosyl compounds (7). Then, nucleophilic substitution is performed on them using aryl metal reagents (such as aryl lithium reagent, aryl magnesium reagent, aryl zinc reagent, etc.). After subsequent deprotection and other reactions, aryl glycosides are obtained (see CN103980263, CN105859672, CN106188022, CN105294624).

[0010]

[0011] Grape epoxide method: 1,2-glucene epoxide (10) is nucleophilically substituted and ring-opened using an aryl nucleophile, and then deprotected to obtain aryl glycosides. However, this method is rarely used and is currently mainly used for the preparation of apagliflozin (see US7847074; WO2015177083; J.Org.Chem.2015,80,9328-9335).

[0012]

[0013] In summary, the conventional methods for preparing C-aryl glycosides currently have several drawbacks. Specifically, these include (1) a lack of stereoselectivity in the formation of the desired C-aryl glycoside, making it impossible to achieve selective control of the product; and (2) relatively long synthetic routes and resolution processes resulting in low reaction yields and atom economy.

[0014] Therefore, in order to achieve efficient development of SGLT2 inhibitor hypoglycemic drugs, it is necessary to establish a synthetic method that is simple to operate, highly universal, rapid to synthesize, and has good stereoselectivity. Summary of the Invention

[0092]

[0093] Under a nitrogen atmosphere, NiBr2·DME (0.005 mmol, 5.0 mol%, 1.54 mg) and rac-L1 (0.005 mmol, 5.0 mol%, 1.66 mg) were dissolved in 0.8 mL of tetrahydrofuran solution and stirred for 30 min to form a complex solution.

Organozirconium metal (25, 0.17 mmol, 79.5 mg, 1.7 equiv.) was then added, the mixture was sealed, and stirred at 25 °C for 18 h. The reaction was quenched with 0.5 mL of methanol at room temperature. The reaction solution was evaporated to dryness and purified by silica gel column chromatography (PE:EA = 20:1 → 5:1) to give 26,72.3 mg of the product.

Glycosyl phosphate (28, 1.0 mmol, 588.5 mg, 1.0 equiv.) and aryl iodine (22, 0.1 mmol, 408.3 mg, 1.0 equiv.) were dissolved in 4.0 mL of tetrahydrofuran and then added to the pre-complex solution. Then, organozirconium metal (25, 1.7 mmol, 794.7 mg, 1.7 equiv.) was added, the mixture was sealed, and stirred at 25 °C for 18 h. The reaction was quenched with 5.0 mL of methanol at room temperature. The reaction solution was then evaporated to dryness and purified by silica gel column chromatography (PE:EA = 20:1 → 5:1) to obtain the canagliflozin intermediate (29,465.5 mg).

[0130] Canagliflozin intermediate 29(β) was a white solid, characterized by consistency with standards as determined by liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS) and nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR).

[0139] Under a nitrogen atmosphere, the canagliflozin intermediate (29, 0.75 mmol, 465.5 mg, 1.0 equiv.) was placed in 7.5 mL of methanol, and 6N hydrochloric acid (3.75 mmol, 0.62 mL, 5.0 equiv.) was added. The mixture was stirred at room temperature for 12 hours to remove protection. The reaction solution was then distilled under reduced pressure to dryness and purified by silica gel column chromatography (CH2Cl2:MeOH, 10:1) to obtain canagliflozin (30, 250.0 mg).

[0140] Canagliflozin is a white solid, and its consistency with standards was confirmed by liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS) and nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR). The deprotection separation yield was 75%, and the characterization data are as follows:
