Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application belongs to the technical field of organic chemical synthesis. More particularly, it relates to a preparation method of salbutamol sulfate. BACKGROUND

[0002] Salbutamol sulfate is a potent and fast-acting β2 receptor agonist developed by GlaxoSmithKline in the UK. It was first approved for marketing in the UK in 1968 and registered in China in 1988. It is the first choice for the treatment of bronchial asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, and asthmatic tracheitis in clinical practice. However, the current synthesis route of salbutamol sulfate has the problems of outdated process, expensive reagents, low yield, difficult impurity removal, or high-risk reactions such as pressurized hydrogenation. Therefore, developing a new synthesis process of salbutamol sulfate or optimizing the old synthesis process is of great significance to enterprises and society.

[0003] Currently, there are several main routes for the synthesis of salbutamol sulfate in China:

[0004] Synthesis route one:

[0005]

[0006] This route is the original research synthesis route. It has long reaction steps, complicated operation, involves multiple intermediates, is difficult to purify, and reduces the overall yield. In this route, toxic bromine is used, and the reaction of ketone bromination is difficult to complete. Mono-brominated and di-brominated products are difficult to separate and purify. In addition, the last step of the reaction uses a high-risk hydrogenation process, which not only has high production cost, but also has the risk of exceeding the standard of heavy metals in the product.

[0007] Synthesis route two:

[0008]

[0009] This route uses p-hydroxybenzaldehyde as the raw material, and goes through chloromethylation, propylidene protection, aldehyde epoxidation, and finally amine cleavage of tert-butylamine, hydrolysis deprotection, etc. to obtain the target product. In the preparation process of compound 6, there is selectivity in the ring opening, which will introduce new impurities. Similarly, the entire reaction route is long, which reduces the total yield and production cost, and is not suitable for industrial production.

[0010] Synthesis route three:

[0011]

[0012] The process steps of this route are shortened, but the use of dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) oxidation method is used to obtain compound 3, and the phenolic hydroxyl group of compound 2 is not protected and is directly oxidized, which is easy to produce oxidation impurities. Moreover, in the process of synthesizing compound 5, borane dimethyl sulfide, which is toxic and explosive, is used to reduce salicylate, and safety and toxicity production need to be strictly controlled.

[0013] Synthetic route four:

[0014]

[0015] Compared with the original research route, this route is shortened and does not involve high-risk reactions, but the first step reaction uses expensive bromoacetyl chloride, and the whole route cost is high; the second step is easy to form polysubstituted compounds, which reduces the yield of this step, increases the process impurities, and is not easy to purify in the later period; the third step reaction uses borohydride to reduce the product, and the phenolic hydroxyl group is easy to combine with boron to form a complex containing boron, which leads to the boron content exceeding the standard in the product, and the pharmacopoeia at home and abroad has strict control on the boron content of salbutamol. To process the boron content to meet the drug standard, additional complex process steps need to be added, which increases the process difficulty and cost. SUMMARY

[0016] The purpose of the present application is to overcome the defects and deficiencies of the existing synthetic salbutamol sulfate method, such as low yield, heavy metal pollution, long synthesis route, and not conducive to industrial expansion, and to provide a preparation method of salbutamol sulfate with low cost, high yield, mild conditions, green environmental protection, simple operation, low equipment requirement, and suitable for industrial large-scale production.
