Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of pharmaceutical manufacturing intermediates, and more specifically, to a method for recovering the resolving agent R-phenethylamine of edoxaban intermediate. Background Art
[0002] Edoxaban tosylate tablets are an anticoagulant factor Xa inhibitor, mainly used for preventing venous thrombosis, treating acute deep vein thrombosis, reducing the risk of myocardial infarction, relieving pain and swelling, and for rehabilitation after hip replacement surgery, etc.
[0003] From the structure of edoxaban, this molecule contains 3 chiral centers. Therefore, compound 1 is the key intermediate for synthesizing edoxaban, and its molecular formula is: C 14 H 27 N 3 O 3 , and the structural formula: 1
[0004]
[0005] Currently, the industrial synthesis method of compound 1 mainly uses racemic 3-cyclohexene-1-carboxylic acid as the starting material, which is resolved by R-phenethylamine to obtain (1S)-3-cyclohexene-1-carboxylic acid, followed by epoxidation, ring opening, and deprotection to obtain intermediate 1. The specific route is as follows:
[0006]
[0007]
[0008] Currently, there is no relevant research reporting the recovery and recycling of the resolving agent R-phenethylamine in this process route.
[0009] CN103242169A provides a method for recycling and reusing the chiral amine resolving reagent in the preparation of optically active γ-lactone spices, realizing the circular economy of the resolving agent resources. However, the recovery rates of the chiral reagents R-phenethylamine and S-phenethylamine recovered by vacuum distillation in this patent are 50% - 75%, only a preliminary recovery is carried out.
[0010] CN104086439A reports the recovery steps of the resolving agent R-phenethylamine for pregabalin intermediate, including adjusting the pH of the free mother liquor to alkaline, extracting with an organic solvent, collecting the organic layer and concentrating it under reduced pressure, and distilling to obtain the fraction of R-phenethylamine, reducing wastewater discharge and lowering production costs, but the yield is average.
[0011] CN107573248A discloses a method for recovering the resolving agent R-phenylethylamine in the preparation of R-lipoic acid. By controlling the temperature at 20°C to 25°C, adding an inorganic base to adjust the pH to 10 to 14, collecting the organic layer, removing the solvent, and collecting the fraction within 187°C to 189°C. However, the temperature in this process is too high, resulting in relatively high energy consumption in the process.
[0012] CN113087630A discloses a method for recovering the resolving agent R-phenylethylamine in the preparation of perindopril intermediate. By controlling the temperature at 30°C to 40°C, dropwise adding an inorganic base to adjust the pH to alkaline, controlling the temperature ≤ 50°C, distilling off the solvent, then performing acid salting and crystallization, and then adjusting to alkaline, collecting the organic layer, removing the solvent, and collecting the fraction by vacuum distillation. This method has cumbersome steps, low purity of R-phenylethylamine, and cumbersome process operations.
[0013] Therefore, there is still no relevant report on the recovery of the resolving agent for edoxaban intermediate for reference at present.
[0014] In view of this, the present application is specifically proposed. Summary of the Invention
