Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of organic synthesis, and specifically provides a method for preparing toranib. Background Art

[0002] Toceranib (also known as toceranib) is a small molecule receptor tyrosine kinase inhibitor with anti-tumor activity. Receptor tyrosine kinases are closely related to the occurrence and development of tumors, and play a key role in the proliferation, differentiation, and apoptosis of tumor cells. Toceranib inhibits tumor angiogenesis and metastasis by selectively inhibiting vascular endothelial growth factor receptor (PDGFR), vascular endothelial cell growth factor receptor (VEFGR), stem cell factor receptor (c-Kit) and FMS-like tyrosine kinase 3 (FLT3) in the receptor tyrosine kinase family. The medicinal form of toceranib is phosphate, which was developed by Sugen. In 2006, Pfizer acquired Sugen and obtained the ownership of toceranib. In 2009, toceranib (trade name ) were approved by the FDA and EMA for the treatment of non-metastatic skin mast cell tumors in pet dogs. Tolanib phosphate (CAS: 874819-74-6) Chemical name: (Z)-5-((5-fluoro-2-oxoindolyl-3-ylidene)methyl)-2,4-dimethyl-N-(2-(pyrrolidin-1-yl)ethyl)-1H-pyrrole-3-carboxamide phosphate, molecular weight: 494.46, chemical structure is as follows:

[0003]

[0004] A preparation route in the prior art is as follows:

[0005] This route uses 2,4-dimethyl-5-formyl-1H-pyrrole-3-carboxylic acid (SM-1) as a raw material, which is condensed with 5-fluoroindolin-2-one (SM-2) to obtain an intermediate (Z)-5-((5-fluoro-2-indolin-3-methylene)methyl)-2,4-dimethyl-1H-pyrrole-3-carboxylic acid (I-1); (Z)-5-((5-fluoro-2-indolin-3-methylene)methyl)-2,4-dimethyl-1H-pyrrole-3-carboxylic acid (I-1) is condensed with 1-(2-aminoethyl)pyrrolidine (SM-3) via acid amine to obtain toranib; toranib is then salified with phosphoric acid to obtain toranib phosphate.

[0006] The disadvantages of this process are as follows: (A) The condensation reaction of SM-1 and SM-2 requires pyrrolidine to activate the aldehyde group and react at high temperature for 4.5 hours, and then react with acetic acid as a catalyst. The reaction process is complicated, and the requirements for production equipment are high, which is not conducive to industrial production; (B) The purification of the crude product of I-1 requires the use of highly corrosive concentrated hydrochloric acid and acetone, which is an easily made-toxin solvent, and the purification process is complicated to operate, which poses a safety hazard to industrial production; (C) I-1 and SM-3 are condensed by acid amine to prepare toranib, and the crude product needs to be refined by ethanol at 64°C for 1 hour, further increasing the preparation cost; (D) The salt formation process of toranib and phosphate requires the use of high-temperature reduced pressure distillation and solvent replacement processes, which is complicated to operate, has high requirements for production equipment, and is not conducive to industrial production; (E) The preparation process of this scheme has three steps of reaction, and the total yield is only 50%.

[0007] Another preparation route in the prior art is as follows:

[0008] This route uses 2,4-dimethyl-5-formyl-1H-pyrrole-3-carboxylic acid (SM-1) as a raw material, and 1-(2-aminoethyl)pyrrolidine (SM-3) is condensed with acid amine to obtain the intermediate 5-formyl-2,4-dimethyl-N-(2-(pyrrolidin-1-yl)ethyl)-1H-pyrrole-3-carboxamide (II-1); 5-formyl-2,4-dimethyl-N-(2-(pyrrolidin-1-yl)ethyl)-1H-pyrrole-3-carboxamide (II-1) is condensed with 5-fluoroindoline-2-one (SM-2) to obtain toranib; toranib is then salified with phosphoric acid to obtain toranib phosphate.

[0009] The disadvantages of this process are as follows: (A) the amide condensation reaction of SM-1 and SM-3 requires 20 hours, which is too long and increases the preparation cost; (B) the post-treatment of the amide condensation reaction of SM-1 and SM-3 requires the use of highly corrosive high-concentration sodium hydroxide aqueous solution, mixed solvent extraction, distillation and other operations, which is complicated and has a yield of only 43%, increasing production costs and posing safety hazards; (C) the aldehyde condensation of II-1 and SM-2 requires the use of expensive pyrrolidine, resulting in a high cost for this preparation scheme; (D) the crude toranib requires ethanol beating and refining at 64°C for 1 hour, further increasing the preparation cost; (E) the toranib and phosphate salt formation process requires a high-temperature and reduced-pressure distillation process to replace the solvent, which is complicated to operate, has high requirements for production equipment, and is not conducive to industrial production; (F) the preparation process of this scheme has three steps of reaction, and the total yield is only 31.4%.
