[0025] Figure 1 It is the mass spectrum of 2-amino-N-(2-(3-methoxyphenoxy)phenyl)acetamide prepared by the present invention. DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0026] In order to make the purpose, technical solutions and advantages of the present invention more clear, the present invention is described in further detail below.

[0027] Example 1 Example 1 provides a method for preparing 2-amino-N-(2-(3-methoxyphenoxy)phenyl)acetamide, which is carried out according to the following steps:

[0028] Step 1: At room temperature, compound 1 (0.1 mol) was placed in a 50 mL round-bottom flask, and acetonitrile (40 mL) and compound 2 (0.1 mol), cesium carbonate (0.01 mol), N-phenylpyridine carboxamide (0.1 mol), copper powder (0.1 mol) were added, and the mixture was stirred at 80-90 ° C for 20-24 hours; after TLC monitoring of the complete consumption of the raw materials, the mixture was filtered and the residue was removed. About 40 ml of cyclohexane was added to the reaction solution for extraction, and the extract phase was taken and rotary evaporated to obtain a crude product. The crude product was dissolved in tetrahydrofuran (1.5 times the mass of the crude product), and ethanol (3 times the mass of the crude product) was slowly added dropwise. The mixture was stirred at room temperature for 1 hour, and crystals were precipitated to obtain a fine product. The product was filtered and dried to obtain 21.10 g of an intermediate with a yield of 98.13% and a purity of 99.5%.

[0029] Step 2: Add 2-(3-methoxyphenoxy)aniline obtained in step 1, glycine (0.1 mol) and N,N'-carbonyldiimidazole (0.1 mol) to tetrahydrofuran, and react at 0-25°C for 12 hours; after the raw materials are completely consumed as monitored by TLC, spin dry, dissolve the crude product in tetrahydrofuran (1.5 times the mass of the crude product), slowly add toluene (3 times the mass of the crude product), stir at room temperature for 1 hour, precipitate crystals to obtain fine products, filter and dry to obtain 24.59 g of the final product, with a yield of 92.12% and a purity of 99.2%.

[0030] Comparative Example 1 Step 2 is the same as that of Example 1, wherein step 1 is as follows: at room temperature, compound 1 (0.1 mol) is placed in a 50 mL round-bottom flask, acetonitrile (40 mL) and compound 2 (0.1 mol), N-phenylpyridinecarboxamide (0.1 mol), copper powder (0.1 mol) are added, and the mixture is stirred at 80-90° C. for 20-24 hours; after the raw material is completely consumed as monitored by TLC, the mixture is filtered off with suction, the residue is removed, about 40 ml of cyclohexane is added to the reaction mixture for extraction, the aqueous phase is discarded, and the crude product is obtained by rotary evaporation. The crude product is dissolved in tetrahydrofuran (1.5 times the mass of the crude product), ethanol (3 times the mass of the crude product) is slowly added dropwise, and the mixture is stirred at room temperature for 1 hour. Crystals are precipitated to obtain a fine product, which is filtered off with suction and dried to obtain 17.51 ​​g of an intermediate with a yield of 78.03% and a purity of 96.13%.

[0031] From comparative example 1, it can be seen that the reaction will be much slower if cesium carbonate is not added. The present invention can significantly increase the reaction speed by adding only a small amount of cesium carbonate.

[0032] Comparative Example 2 Step 2 is the same as that of Example 1, wherein step 1 is as follows: at room temperature, compound 1 (0.1 mol) is placed in a 50 mL round-bottom flask, acetonitrile (40 mL) and compound 2 (0.1 mol), potassium carbonate (0.01 mol), N-phenylpyridinecarboxamide (0.1 mol), and copper powder (0.1 mol) are added, and the mixture is stirred at 80-90° C. for 20-24 hours; after TLC monitoring of the complete consumption of the raw materials, the mixture is filtered off with suction, the residue is removed, about 40 ml of cyclohexane is added to the reaction mixture for extraction, the aqueous phase is discarded, and the crude product is obtained by rotary evaporation. The crude product is dissolved in tetrahydrofuran (1.5 times the mass of the crude product), and ethanol (3 times the mass of the crude product) is slowly added dropwise, and the mixture is stirred at room temperature for 1 hour. Crystals are precipitated to obtain fine products, which are filtered off with suction and dried to obtain 17.51 ​​g of the intermediate with a yield of 78.03% and a purity of 96.14%.

[0033] From Comparative Example 2, it can be seen that the catalytic effect is not improved compared with Comparative Example 1 when cesium carbonate is replaced by potassium carbonate.

[0034] Comparative Example 3 Step 2 is the same as that of Example 1, wherein step 1 is as follows: at room temperature, compound 1 (0.1 mol) is placed in a 50 mL round-bottom flask, acetonitrile (40 mL) and compound 2 (0.1 mol), cesium carbonate (0.01 mol), N-phenylpyridinecarboxamide (0.1 mol), and silver powder (0.1 mol) are added, stirred at 80-90° C. for 20-24 hours, and monitored by TLC. The etherification reaction did not proceed.

[0035] From comparative example 3, it can be seen that copper has selective catalytic properties for the system of this patent.

[0036] Comparative Example 4 Step 2 is the same as that of Example 1, wherein step 1 is as follows: at room temperature, compound 1 (0.1 mol) is placed in a 50 mL round-bottom flask, acetonitrile (40 mL) and compound 2 (0.1 mol), cesium carbonate (0.11 mol), and copper powder (0.1 mol) are added, and the mixture is stirred at 80-90° C. for 20-24 hours; after the raw material is completely consumed as monitored by TLC, the mixture is filtered off with suction, the residue is removed, about 40 ml of cyclohexane is added to the reaction mixture for extraction, the aqueous phase is discarded, and the crude product is obtained by rotary evaporation. The crude product is dissolved in tetrahydrofuran (1.5 times the mass of the crude product), and ethanol (3 times the mass of the crude product) is slowly added dropwise, and the mixture is stirred at room temperature for 1 hour. Crystals are precipitated to obtain fine products, which are filtered off with suction and dried to obtain 19.95 g of the intermediate with a yield of 92.31% and a purity of 99.03%.

[0037] From Comparative Example 4, it can be seen that the etherification yield is higher when a specific base is used (cesium carbonate itself is also a base).

[0038] Comparative Example 5 Step 2 is the same as that of Example 1, wherein Step 1 is as follows: at room temperature, compound 1 (0.1 mol) is placed in a 50 mL round-bottom flask, tetrahydrofuran (40 mL) and compound 2 (0.1 mol), cesium carbonate (0.01 mol), N-phenylpyridinecarboxamide (0.1 mol), copper powder (0.1 mol) are added, and stirred at 80-90° C. for 20-24 hours; TLC monitoring shows that the reaction has not proceeded.

[0039] From comparative example 5, it can be seen that a specific solvent is required for the reaction of this patent to proceed.

[0040] Example 2-3 The reaction raw materials, reaction products, total yield and purity of Example 2-3 are shown in Table 1: Table 1 .

[0041] Wherein, the reaction conditions are consistent with those in Example 1.

[0042] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc. made within the spirit and principle of the present invention should be included in the protection scope of the present invention.
