Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of pharmaceutical chemistry, and specifically relates to a method for preparing a milobalin intermediate (2E)-4-ethylhept-2,6-dienoic acid. Background Art

[0002] Mirogabalin (DS-5565) is a gabapentinoid drug developed by Daiichi Sankyo Co., Ltd. Similar to drugs such as gabapentin and pregabalin, it acts on the voltage-gated calcium channel subunit α2δ, and inhibits the release of neurotransmitters mediated by calcium ions in the dorsal horn by binding to α2δ-1, thereby blocking neuronal excitation and sensory signal transmission. On January 8, 2019, Mirogabalin besilate developed by Daiichi Sankyo Co., Ltd. was approved for marketing by the Japanese Medical Device Evaluation and Approval Agency (PMDA). The trade name is Tarlige (oral tablets, each containing 2.5 mg, 5 mg, 10 mg, 15 mg of Mirogabalin), which is used to treat peripheral neuropathic pain, including diabetic peripheral neuropathy and postherpetic neuralgia. The structural formula of Mirogabalin besilate is as follows:

[0003]

[0004] The original patents (EP2192109, US2010249229, WO20010110361) reported the synthesis of 3-ethylbicyclo[3.2.0]hept-3-en-6-one, a key intermediate of milobarlin. This process uses ethyl acetoacetate as a starting material, uses n-butyl lithium reagent, and also requires the reduction of the 2-carbonyl group. The steps are long and the yield is not high, so there is room for further improvement.

[0005]

[0006] Chinese patent CN103582622A and literature (Improved synthesis process of milobalin benzenesulfonate, Zheng Linri et al., Shandong Chemical Industry, 2021, 50, 56) both reported the use of n-butyraldehyde and diisobutylamine as starting materials, dehydration to form an enamine intermediate, and then addition reaction with 3-bromopropylene to form a quaternary ammonium salt, Knoevenagel condensation reaction to obtain (2E)-4-ethylhept-2,6-dienoic acid, and then intramolecular [2+2] reaction to form the key intermediate 3-ethylbicyclo[3.2.0]hept-3-ene-6-one. Then Horner-Wadsworth-Emmons reaction with tert-butyl dimethoxyphosphonoacetate, and then addition, D-mandelic acid chiral resolution, hydrolysis and other steps to obtain milobalin, and then salified with benzenesulfonic acid to obtain milobalin benzenesulfonate. This route improves the first two steps of the CN103562170B route and avoids the acetal reaction and the Claisen rearrangement reaction; however, the diisobutylamine in this route is relatively expensive, has many reaction sites, contains many impurities, and is difficult to control quality, which is not conducive to industrial production.

[0007]

[0008] CN103562170B reports that n-butyraldehyde and propenol are used as starting materials, and (2E)-4-ethylhept-2,6-dienoic acid is obtained through acetal protection, Claisen rearrangement, and Knoevenagel condensation reaction, and then a [2+2] reaction within the molecule is performed to form a key intermediate. This route can also obtain the key intermediate 3-ethylbicyclo[3.2.0]hept-3-ene-6-one, but there are the following problems: (1) the condensation reaction process of n-butyraldehyde and propenol is complicated, and distillation operation is required for post-treatment; (2) in the Claisen rearrangement reaction step, high temperature and many impurities are required, purification is difficult, and it is not conducive to impurity control; (3) during the [2+2] cycloaddition reaction, high temperature reaction and other operations are also required, resulting in low yield, many impurities, and difficult purification. In general, this route has a low yield, many impurities, and difficult purification, which is a challenge for impurity control in the drug production process.

[0009]

[0010] According to the literature, there are different reports on the synthesis route of milobarline, but all of them use the key intermediate 3-ethylbicyclo[3.2.0]hept-3-ene-6-one or its single chiral substance as the starting material. However, in the prior art, the (2E)-4-ethylhept-2,6-dienoic acid intermediate plays a key role in the synthesis of the 3-ethylbicyclo[3.2.0]hept-3-ene-6-one racemate, but the prior art preparation method of (2E)-4-ethylhept-2,6-dienoic acid requires high temperature or long-term reaction and complex operations such as the preparation of iminium salts, which also causes the prior art yield and purity to be low. Although it is directly used in the next step of the reaction without purification, it brings losses and difficulties to the purification of downstream products, resulting in waste of materials.

[0011] Therefore, how to prepare (2E)-4-ethylheptyl-2,6-dienoic acid in a green, efficient, safe, environmentally friendly and low-cost manner has become the main technical challenge in the synthesis process of milobarlin. The structure of (2E)-4-ethylheptyl-2,6-dienoic acid is as follows:
