Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of pharmaceutical synthesis technology, and in particular to a method for preparing sulbactamic acid. Background Technology

[0002] Sulbactamic acid, chemical name (2S-cis)-3,3-dimethyl-7-oxo-4-thio-1-azabicyclo[3,2,0]heptane-2-carboxylic acid-4,4-dioxide, molecular formula C8H 11 NO5S has a molecular weight of 233.24.

[0003] Structural formula:

[0004]

[0005] Sulbactamic acid is an irreversible competitive β-lactamase inhibitor with weak antibacterial activity. However, when used in combination with penicillins or cephalosporins, it exhibits a significant synergistic effect, enhancing both antibacterial activity and broadening the antibacterial spectrum. Currently, there are two main methods for producing sulbactamic acid in China: Method 1 involves pressurized hydrogenation, as disclosed in CN102503957A, which describes the debromination of 6,6-dibromopenicillin sulfone acid (DBPAS) to prepare sulbactamic acid using Raney nickel as a catalyst under a hydrogen pressure of 0.5–0.8 MPa in a liquid-phase circulating jet manner. The drawback of Method 2 is the significant safety risk associated with pressurized hydrogen debromination. Method 2 involves a reduction reaction using a metal reducing agent in a mixture of organic solvent and water. For example, CN116143802A discloses a method for preparing sulbactamic acid by using 6,6-dibromopelinosinol sulfone acid (DBPAS) as the starting material, ethyl acetate and purified water as solvents, and zinc powder reduction. The shortcomings of this method are: when 6,6-dibromopelinosinol sulfone acid (DBPAS) and zinc powder are in an organic solvent, 6,6-dibromopelinosinol sulfone acid (DBPAS) forms free radicals and undergoes a polymerization reaction, generating large molecular colored impurities, which affect the yield, quality and stability of the product. The sulbactamic acid produced in the organic solvent is not white in appearance, and its color deepens significantly over time.

[0006] Therefore, developing a safer, more environmentally friendly method for preparing sulbactamic acid with high product yield, high purity, good stability, and good appearance, suitable for industrial production, is a new issue that urgently needs to be addressed. Summary of the Invention
