Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the field of pharmaceutical chemical synthesis, in particular to a method for synthesizing loxoprofen sodium by using a resin catalyst. Background Art

[0002] Loxoprofen sodium is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAIDs) widely used to treat arthritis, muscle pain and postoperative pain. As a prodrug, loxoprofen sodium releases active ingredients after metabolism in the body, has little irritation to the gastrointestinal tract, and has higher safety and tolerance than traditional NSAIDs such as ibuprofen and naproxen, so it has attracted much attention in clinical practice.

[0003] At present, the industrial synthesis of loxoprofen sodium mainly relies on classical multi-step organic synthesis methods. These methods usually involve the following key reaction steps: 1. Methylene reaction, through the reaction of cyclopentanone, paraformaldehyde and amine to produce 2-methylenecyclopentanone; 2. Preparation of halophenyl propionate, using 4-halophenyl acetate to react with iodomethane to generate 2-(4-halophenyl) propionate; 3. Heck coupling reaction, which realizes the coupling of carbon-carbon bonds through transition metal catalysis; 4. Catalyze hydrogenation reduction reaction to reduce conjugated double bonds to saturated structures; 5. Salt-forming reaction to finally obtain the target product loxoprofen sodium.

[0004] Although the existing methods can meet basic production needs, there are still some problems that cannot be ignored: 1. Catalyst problem: In traditional synthesis, strong acid (such as sulfuric acid or hydrochloric acid) is usually used as a catalyst in the methylation reaction. This not only easily leads to equipment corrosion, but also produces a large amount of acidic waste liquid, increasing the cost of waste treatment and environmental pressure.

[0005] 2. Efficiency and selectivity: Some reaction steps in the existing process have low selectivity and are prone to generate by-products, resulting in low yields of target products. Especially in the Heck coupling and catalytic hydrogenation processes, the separation and purification of by-products is time-consuming and labor-intensive.

[0006] 3. Green and sustainable: With increasingly stringent environmental regulations, the synthesis process needs to pay more attention to green. Traditional methods use a lot of strong acids, heavy metal catalysts and organic solvents, which pose a potential threat to the environment and production safety. Summary of the invention

[0007] In order to overcome at least one of the technical problems in the above-mentioned background technology, the present invention proposes a novel synthesis method of loxoprofen sodium based on a resin catalyst, which not only simplifies the process flow, but also effectively improves the synthesis efficiency and environmental performance. Compared with the traditional method, the present invention achieves significant optimization in the catalytic system, process conditions and environmental benefits, and provides a new idea and new method for the industrial green synthesis of loxoprofen sodium.

[0008] To achieve the above object, the technical solution adopted by the present invention is as follows: A method for synthesizing loxoprofen sodium using a resin catalyst comprises the following steps: Step (1) Methylene reaction: According to the weight ratio, 100 parts of cyclopentanone, 90-120 parts of polyformaldehyde and 10-20 parts of amine are mixed, and reacted at 20-50° C. for 2-6 hours under the catalysis of 2-10 parts of resin catalyst to obtain 2-methylenecyclopentanone; Step (2) Synthesis of 2-(4-halophenyl)propionate: 100 parts of 4-halogenophenylacetic acid ester, 1.5-2 parts of methyl iodide and 20-30 parts of sodium hydroxide or potassium carbonate are reacted in 220-260 parts of methanol or ethanol solvent at 30-80° C. for 1-5 hours to obtain 2-(4-halogenophenyl) propionate; Step (3) Heck coupling reaction: 100 parts of 2-methylenecyclopentanone obtained in step (1) and 100 parts of 2-(4-halophenyl)propionate obtained in step (2), 1 to 2 parts of a transition metal catalyst, 1 to 2 parts of a phosphine ligand triphenylphosphine, 5 to 10 parts of a base and 200 to 300 parts of a solvent are added to a reaction flask, and reacted at 20 to 80° C. for 6 to 24 hours to generate an intermediate 2-(4-((5-oxocyclopent-1-enyl)methyl)phenyl)propionate; Step (4) catalytic hydrogenation reaction: 100 parts of the intermediate obtained in step (3) are mixed with 1 to 3 parts of Raney nickel catalyst, and after replacing hydrogen in 200 parts of an organic solvent, the mixture is reacted at 0 to 50° C. for 1 to 24 hours to generate 2-(4-((2-oxycyclopentyl)methyl)phenyl)propanoate; Step (5) salt formation reaction: 100 parts of 2-(4-((2-oxocyclopentyl)methyl)phenyl)propanoate obtained in step (4) are dissolved in a mixed solution of 450-600 parts of water and acetone, 10-50 parts of an aqueous sodium hydroxide solution are slowly added dropwise until the pH value of the solution reaches 8-10, the mixture is reacted at 0-50° C. for 0.5-5 hours, and loxoprofen sodium is obtained after filtering and drying.

[0009] Furthermore, the preparation method of the resin catalyst in step (1) is: Acylation reaction: 10-20 parts of acryloyl chloride, 2-6 parts of 3-boric acid benzenesulfonyl chloride, 0.02-0.2 parts of (oxapentyl) methanesulfonyl chloride, 100-200 parts of solid resin catalyst, 1000-1500 parts of ethylene dichloride, and 5-10 parts of zinc chloride are added into a reaction vessel, and the acylation reaction is carried out at 40-50° C. for 160-200 minutes; The solid resin catalyst grease is selected from at least one of D006 resin catalyst, A15 resin catalyst, A35 resin catalyst and D005 resin catalyst, and the factory type is sodium-based resin; Amino-acryl addition reaction: add 5-10 parts of ammonium phosphotungstate and 1-3 parts of triethylamine to the above reaction system, and carry out amino-acryl addition reaction at 60-70° C. for 160-200 minutes; Post-treatment: After the reaction is completed, filter and wash with ethanol to obtain a resin catalyst; The solid resin catalyst is placed in an exchange column for transformation treatment before use, and 2-4 volumes of hydrochloric acid with a mass percentage of 15-25% are passed through the exchange column from top to bottom for 100-200 minutes to obtain a hydrogen-type solid resin catalyst.

[0010] Furthermore, in step (1), the amine is a primary amine or a secondary amine selected from methylamine or ethylamine.

[0011] Furthermore, in step (2), the 4-halogenated phenylacetic acid ester is selected from at least one of methyl p-bromophenylacetate, methyl p-iodophenylacetate or methyl p-chlorophenylacetate.

[0012] Furthermore, in step (3), the transition metal catalyst is selected from at least one of palladium trichloride, tetrakis(triphenylphosphine)palladium or bis(diphenylphosphino)ethanepalladium dichloride.

[0013] Furthermore, in step (3), the base is selected from sodium acetate or triethylamine, and the solvent is selected from toluene, DMF or DMSO.

[0014] Furthermore, in step (4), the organic solvent is selected from ethanol, methanol or isopropanol.

[0015] Furthermore, in step (5), the volume ratio of water to acetone is 1:(8-12).

[0016] Furthermore, the drying in step (5) is vacuum drying, the drying temperature is 40 to 60° C., and the drying time is 6 to 12 hours.

[0017] Resin catalyst reaction mechanism: Synergistic activation by electrons and acid-base: The Lewis acidity of the boric acid group can activate reactants, such as coordinating with the carbonyl oxygen of cyclopentanone to enhance electrophilicity; ammonium phosphotungstate provides protons to promote the depolymerization of paraformaldehyde and the protonation of the carbonyl group of cyclopentanone, accelerating the reaction.

[0018] Microenvironment and adsorption regulation: The oxopentyl ring structure changes the microenvironment of the catalyst surface, affects the adsorption and diffusion of the substrate through weak interactions, makes the substrate easier to approach the active center, and improves the reaction efficiency.

[0019] Selectivity and intermediate optimization: The benzene ring structure introduced by boronic acid increases steric hindrance and guides substrate orientation; the various modification groups synergistically regulate the electron cloud density of the active site, optimize the formation and conversion of reaction intermediates, and improve the selectivity of the target product 2-methylenecyclopentanone.

[0020] The present invention significantly improves the synthesis efficiency and environmental performance of loxoprofen sodium by optimizing the catalytic system and reaction conditions. The specific beneficial effects are as follows: 1. Improve reaction selectivity and reduce by-product generation: The use of resin catalyst as a catalyst for the methylene reaction can significantly improve the reaction activity. The abundant proton supply and electron transfer acceleration enable the reaction to reach a higher conversion rate in a shorter time, greatly improving the reaction efficiency. Effect on selectivity: Although the main function is to improve the reaction activity, a suitable acidic environment also helps to guide the reaction in the direction of generating 2-methylenecyclopentanone, maintaining or improving the selectivity of the product to a certain extent.

[0021] 2. Improve the efficiency of catalytic hydrogenation reaction and reduce energy consumption: Highly active palladium carbon or Raney nickel is used as a catalyst, and the reduction reaction is carried out in a low boiling point solvent such as ethanol. The system is highly active and can efficiently complete the catalytic hydrogenation reaction under mild conditions.

[0022] 3. Optimize Heck coupling reaction and improve reaction efficiency: The introduction of a combination of palladium catalyst and phosphine ligand significantly enhanced the activity and selectivity of carbon-carbon bond formation in the Heck coupling reaction; at the same time, the selection of a suitable solvent increased the substrate solubility and promoted the reaction.
