Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of pharmaceutical intermediate synthesis, and in particular to a method for preparing (3R, 6R)-1-dodecyl-3,6-diisobutylpiperazine-2,5-dione. Background Art

[0002] Most 2,5-piperazinedione compounds have biological activity. For example, 1,4-bis(2,6-dimethylphenyl)-2,5-piperazinedione is a plant antibacterial agent, which is prepared by bimolecular condensation of 2,6-dimethylchloroacetanilide. Its chemical structure and the anti-Alzheimer's drug Nefiracetam both belong to the diamide class. 2,6-Dimethylchloroacetanilide is also an important intermediate for the synthesis of Nefiracetam.

[0003] Nefiracetam was developed by Daiichi Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd. of Japan for the treatment of cognitive impairment in the elderly. It also has significant therapeutic effects on cognitive impairment caused by various drugs, basal forebrain damage, and local cerebral ischemia. "Racetam" drugs are one of the fastest-growing nootropics. They act directly on the cerebral cortex, activate, protect, and repair nerves, improve brain function, promote the brain's utilization of phospholipids and amino acids, increase protein synthesis in the brain, promote information transmission in the cerebral hemispheres, improve learning and memory, and improve various types of brain damage caused by brain hypoxia or physical and chemical factors. The anti-Alzheimer's drug, Revostigmine, which was launched in Switzerland in 1997, is also an amide drug. It was approved by the FDA for marketing in the United States in April 2000 and has been launched in 70 countries. The use of acyl diphosphate-ribose polymerase (PARP) inhibitors as neuroprotective drugs is a relatively new and active field. Pharmacological experiments have shown that mice with PARP gene eliminated have a protective effect against cerebral ischemia and brain nerve damage. Typical PARP inhibitors contain more lactam structures. Caffeine, as a central nervous system stimulant, is an adenosine receptor antagonist and its structure also belongs to the lactam class.

[0006] The technical solution of the present invention is as follows:
