Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of chemical synthesis, and more specifically, it relates to a preparation method of nabumetone-D3. Background Art

[0002] Nabumetone-D3 is a deuterated compound of nabumetone, which is labeled by introducing deuterium atoms at specific positions in the nabumetone molecule. Usually, the sites crucial for drug metabolism or detection (such as methoxy group, etc.) are selected for isotope substitution. This labeling strategy significantly improves the detectability in experimental studies while retaining the chemical properties of the prototype drug. As a non-acidic non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug, nabumetone itself is metabolized into the active product 6-methoxy-2-naphthoic acid in vivo, exerting antipyretic, analgesic, and anti-inflammatory effects. As an isotope-labeled derivative of it, nabumetone-D3 retains the chemical properties of the prototype drug, and at the same time enhances the detectability in experimental studies through deuterium labeling. Through the tracer characteristics of deuterium labeling, the metabolic pathway, absorption distribution, and excretion process of the drug in vivo can be traced, providing important experimental data for drug research and development.

[0003] The patent application document with the publication number CN1982274A discloses a preparation method of nabumetone, including the following steps: using 6-methoxy-2-naphthaldehyde as the initial raw material, condensing with ethyl acetate to generate 3-alkoxycarbonyl-4-(6-methoxy-2-naphthyl)but-2-en-2-one, catalytic hydrogenation in an organic solvent to obtain 3-alkoxycarbonyl-4-(6-methoxy-2-naphthyl)butan-2-one, acidolysis to obtain the crude product of nabumetone, and recrystallizing and purifying with absolute ethanol to obtain a qualified pure product, using Raney Ni W n (n = 2 - 7), Raney Cu or Raney Co as the catalyst.

[0004] In the above technical solution, using Raney Ni Wn (n = 2 - 7), Raney Cu or Raney Co as the catalyst, these Raney-type catalysts are active towards various functional groups of the substrate. For example, the enone structure and ester group structure in the substrate are both spatially close to the active sites of the catalyst. Due to the lack of sufficient selectivity of these Raney-type catalysts, they may act on these two functional groups simultaneously, resulting in the occurrence of side reactions, thus generating by-products and reducing the selectivity for the target product nabumetone. Summary of the Invention

[0005] In order to improve the yield and purity of nabumetone-D3, the present application provides a preparation method of nabumetone-D3.

[0006] The preparation method of nabumetone-D3 of the present application adopts the following technical solution:

[0007] A method for preparing nabumetone-D3 comprises the following steps:

[0008] S1: 9-11 g of 6-bromo-2-naphthol, 6.0-21.9 g of catalyst A and an organic solvent are mixed evenly, and then 6.0-7.0 g of deuterated iodomethane is added. After mixing evenly, the temperature is adjusted to 20-30° C., the reaction is carried out for 22-26 hours, quenching, extraction, washing, drying and concentration are carried out to obtain a first intermediate product;

[0009] S2: Under an inert atmosphere, evenly mix 0.6-4.1 g of catalyst B and 55-65 g of tetrabutylammonium bromide, raise the temperature to 110-130° C., react for 8-12 min, cool to 75-85° C., add 9.5-10.5 g of the first intermediate product, 2.5-3.5 g of 3-butene-2-ol and 4-4.5 g of sodium bicarbonate, mix evenly, raise the temperature to 110-130° C., react for 22-26 h, cool, extract, wash, dry, purify and elute to obtain nabumetone-D3.

[0010] Preferably, the catalyst A is any one of potassium carbonate and cesium carbonate;

[0011] Preferably, the catalyst B is palladium chloride.

[0012] In step S1, potassium carbonate or cesium carbonate reacts with deuterated iodomethane to capture iodide ions and generate highly active CD3I - Nucleophile, CD3I - The C-Br bond is attacked from the back to obtain the first intermediate product. Potassium carbonate or cesium carbonate simultaneously neutralizes the HBr generated by the reaction to maintain the alkalinity of the reaction system and ensure that the reaction proceeds in the forward direction.

[0013] In step S2, tetrabutylammonium bromide is used as a phase transfer catalyst to promote the dispersion of palladium chloride in the system and assist ion transport. Under high temperature conditions, PdCl2 may dissociate or react with a ligand to generate an active palladium intermediate. The bromine atom in the first intermediate undergoes oxidative addition under palladium catalysis and combines with the active palladium intermediate to form a Pd-aryl intermediate. Sodium bicarbonate provides an alkaline environment to promote the deprotonation of the hydroxyl group of 3-butene-2-ol to generate an enolate anion. The anion acts as a nucleophile and migrates and inserts with the Pd-aryl intermediate to form a new carbon-carbon bond. The intermediate undergoes a reduction elimination step to release palladium chloride and simultaneously generates nabumetone-D3.

[0014] Preferably, in step S2, after adding the first intermediate product, 3-butene-2-ol and sodium bicarbonate and mixing evenly, the temperature is maintained at 75-85° C., hydrogen is introduced, and the hydrogen partial pressure is controlled between 10-40 kPa. After treating for 40-60 minutes, the pressure is released and an inert gas is introduced.

[0015] Preferably, before use, the catalyst A is subjected to the following modification treatment, including the following steps:

[0016] Before use, the catalyst A is subjected to the following modification treatment, including the following steps:

[0017] (1) Dissolve 28.5 - 35.0 g of cesium nitrate in water, add 45 - 55 g of mesoporous material, mix evenly, let stand, perform solid-liquid separation, wash, and obtain a solid;

[0018] (2) Dissolve 28.5 - 35.0 g of sodium carbonate in water, adjust the pH to 7.5 - 8.5, then add the solid, heat to 35 - 45 °C, mix for 3.5 - 4.5 h, perform solid-liquid separation, wash, dry, and calcine to obtain the product.

[0019] Preferably, the calcination temperature in step (2) is 280 - 320 °C, and the calcination time is 2.5 - 3.5 h.

[0020] Preferably, the mesoporous material is mesoporous molecular sieve SBA-15.

[0021] In the above technical solution, by using SBA-15 with a high specific surface area and ordered mesopores, cesium carbonate is confined in the nanopores through physical confinement. At the same time, its high specific surface area provides a large number of loading points for loading cesium carbonate, enabling cesium carbonate to be highly dispersed. And Si-O-Cs bonds are formed between the surface silanol groups and cesium ions, effectively reducing the dissolution of cesium ions. After calcination treatment, Cs2SiO3 will be partially generated, further enhancing the stability of the active component.

[0022] Preferably, before use, the catalyst B is subjected to modification treatment, including the following steps:

[0023] (a) Under an inert atmosphere, disperse 9 - 11 g of magnetic mesoporous material in toluene, then add 4 - 6 mL of 3-chloropropyltrimethoxysilane and mix evenly. Carry out a reflux reaction for 22 - 26 h, perform solid-liquid separation, wash, and dry to obtain a pretreated product;

[0024] (b) Disperse the pretreated product in an ethanol solution, then add 4 - 6 g of cysteamine and 4 - 6 g of sodium carbonate and mix evenly. Adjust the temperature to 20 - 30 °C and react for 22 - 26 h. Perform solid-liquid separation, wash, and dry to obtain a pre-modified product;

[0025] (c) Disperse 4 - 6 g of the pre-modified product in an ethanol solution, then add 1 - 2 g of palladium chloride and mix evenly. Adjust the temperature to 20 - 30 °C and impregnate for 22 - 26 h. Perform solid-liquid separation, wash, and dry to obtain a pre-loaded catalyst;

[0026] (d) Under a mixed atmosphere, heat up to 60 - 80 °C, reduce the pre-loaded catalyst for 40 - 60 min, and then cool to obtain the product;

[0027] The mixed atmosphere is composed of hydrogen and nitrogen mixed according to a volume ratio of (0.5 - 1.5) : (8.5 - 9.5).

[0028] Preferably, the magnetic mesoporous material is magnetic SBA-15 mesoporous molecular sieve.

[0029] Preferably, in the mixed atmosphere, the flow rate of the mixed gas is 100 - 150 mL / min.

[0030] Preferably, in step S1, after adding catalyst A, it further includes the step of adding 0.3 - 0.4 g of potassium iodide.

[0031] In S1, 6-bromo-2-naphthol undergoes a methylation reaction with deuterated iodomethane. On the one hand, the iodide ion of potassium iodide can combine with the iodine atom in deuterated iodomethane to form a more active intermediate, accelerating the transfer of the methyl group to the phenolic hydroxyl group of 6-bromo-2-naphthol, thereby increasing the reaction rate and yield. On the other hand, catalyst A and potassium iodide cooperate to activate the reaction substrate through coordination or electronic effects, promoting the progress of the reaction.

[0032] Preferably, in step S2, when adding sodium bicarbonate, it further includes the step of adding 0.3 - 0.4 g of potassium iodide.

[0033] In S2, on the one hand, the iodide ion of potassium iodide can activate the hydroxyl group of 3-buten-2-ol, making it more likely to deprotonate to form a nucleophile, or by coordinating with the intermediate, reducing the reaction energy barrier and accelerating the reaction process. On the other hand, the iodide ion of potassium iodide cooperates with the alkaline environment to stabilize the reaction intermediate, reduce the occurrence of side reactions, and at the same time promote the formation of nucleophiles, thereby improving the synthesis efficiency and product purity.

[0034] In summary, the present application has the following beneficial effects:

[0035] 1. The present application uses 6-bromo-2-naphthol as the starting material. Under the action of catalyst A and the high reactivity of deuterated iodomethane, it ensures the efficient introduction of deuterium atoms, laying a foundation for the synthesis of high-isotope-abundance products. And in the synergistic catalytic system formed by palladium chloride, tetrabutylammonium bromide, and sodium bicarbonate, the subsequent reaction is efficiently carried out under a nitrogen atmosphere, improving the selectivity of the target product nabumetone-D3 and greatly reducing the generation of by-products.

[0036] 2. Preferably, the catalysts A and B in this application are modified to provide a stable dispersion environment for the active ingredients, increase the exposure degree of their catalytic active sites, thereby accelerating the reaction rate. At the same time, the confinement effect of the carrier can also regulate the reaction path, reduce the generation of by-products and simplify the separation and recovery process, improving the purity and yield of nabumetone-D3.

[0105] Example 3

[0106] This example provides a preparation method of nabumetone-D3, including the following steps:

[0107] S1: Add 9.0 g of 6-bromo-2-naphthol and 6.0 g of catalyst A into a three-necked flask, then add 150 mL of anhydrous N,N-dimethylformamide, stir and mix evenly. Then add 6.0 g of deuterated iodomethane and mix evenly. Heat up to 20 °C. After reacting for 22 h, add 1000 mL of deionized water for quenching. The amount of deionized water can be appropriately increased according to the situation, and the total amount generally does not exceed 2000 mL. Then extract with ethyl acetate three times. The amount of ethyl acetate used each time is in a volume ratio of 1:1 with the aqueous phase. Combine the organic phases, then wash with saturated brine in an equal volume to the organic phase, and then dry with anhydrous sodium sulfate, filter by suction. Rotate and evaporate the organic phase to remove ethyl acetate to obtain the first intermediate product;

[0108] S2: Under a nitrogen atmosphere, stir and mix 0.6 g of catalyst B and 55 g of tetrabutylammonium bromide evenly, heat up to 110 °C, react for 8 min, cool down to 75 °C. Add 9.5 g of the first intermediate product, 2.5 g of 3-buten-2-ol and 4.0 g of sodium bicarbonate, stir and mix evenly, then heat up to 110 °C. After reacting for 22 h, cool to room temperature. Extract the reaction solution with ethyl acetate three times with an equal volume to the reaction solution each time. Combine the organic phases, then wash with saturated brine in half of the volume of the organic phase three times, and then dry with anhydrous sodium sulfate, filter by suction. Rotate and evaporate the organic phase to obtain the crude product;

[0109] Add a mixed solvent composed of petroleum ether and ethyl acetate in a volume ratio of 20:1 to a silica gel chromatography column for filling and balance until the solvent flows out evenly. Dissolve the crude product in 23 mL of ethyl acetate and dilute with 10 mL of petroleum ether. After mixing evenly, load the sample. Elute with a mixed solvent composed of petroleum ether and ethyl acetate in a volume ratio of 20:1 until there are no impurities, then switch to a mixed solvent composed of petroleum ether and ethyl acetate in a volume ratio of 10:1 for elution. Collect the eluate in fractions, combine the eluate containing the target product, and remove the solvent by rotary evaporation to obtain nabumetone-D3.

[0110] Among them, catalyst A is potassium carbonate and catalyst B is palladium chloride.

[0111] After detection, the yield of nabumetone-D3 is 91.1% and the HPLC purity ≥ 98.0%.

[0160] Analyze Example 1 and combine with Figure 1 It can be seen that the strongest peak in the figure corresponds to the molecular ion peak of the deuterated product, and its mass-to-charge ratio is the same as the theoretical molecular weight of nabumetone-D3 (the molecular formula of nabumetone-D3 is C 15 H 13 D3O2, the theoretical molecular weight is 231.3, plus H+ It is close to the mass-to-charge ratio of about 332.3), and although there is a slight deviation, it can still prove that deuterium atoms are successfully introduced into the product, verifying the correctness of the deuterated structure. This is consistent with the high deuteration rate result of 98.71% of the isotope abundance in Example 1. Moreover, there are no significant miscellaneous peaks in the mass spectrum except for the relevant ion peaks of nabumetone-D3, indicating that the impurity content in the surface product is extremely low, which shows that the nabumetone-D3 prepared in Example 1 has a high purity.

[0161] Analyze Example 1 and combine it with Figures 2 to 3 It can be known that by comparing Figure 2 It can be known that in Figure 3 the hydrogen atom signal corresponding to the deuterated site marked in nabumetone-D3 disappears, indicating that in the nabumetone-D3 prepared in Example 1, deuterium atoms successfully replace the target hydrogen atoms. There are no significant miscellaneous peaks in the two figures except for the hydrogen signal of the target molecule, indicating that the impurity content in the synthesized product is extremely low.
