Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of drug synthesis, and particularly to a method for synthesizing and preparing impurities of ebastine. Background Art
[0002] Ebastine is a commonly used non-sedating H1-receptor antihistamine drug, belonging to anti-allergic drugs. Its characteristics are that it has no or very little sedative effect on the central nervous system, has a stronger antihistamine effect, can significantly inhibit the flushing and wheals caused by histamine, and does not affect the release of histamine from mast cells.
[0003] Impurities are very important for the quality control of drugs. The presence of impurities may directly affect the quality and safety of drugs. By consulting the main literature on the synthesis of ebastine, it is found that both CN114671802A and CN109593058 use the same raw material, p-tert-butyl-4-chlorobenzoylacetone, to react under alkaline conditions to obtain ebastine. It is difficult to avoid the reaction of p-tert-butyl-4-chlorobenzoylacetone to generate the impurity p-tert-butylphenylcyclopropylmethanone under alkaline conditions. Therefore, the synthesis of the impurity p-tert-butylphenylcyclopropylmethanone and its research and control as a process impurity of ebastine raw material are of great significance for improving the yield of ebastine and controlling the quality of ebastine. Summary of the Invention
[0004] The purpose of the present invention is to provide a method for synthesizing and preparing impurities of ebastine to solve the problems raised in the above background art.
[0005] To achieve the above purpose, the present invention provides the following technical solution: A method for synthesizing and preparing impurities of ebastine, comprising the following steps; Step 1: Put 20 g of p-tert-butyl-4-chlorobenzoylacetone, add 15 g of sodium hydroxide and 100 g of toluene, start stirring and heat up to reflux for reaction for 10 - 12 hours; Step 2: Cool the product of Step 1 to below 50 °C, then add 60 g of water, stir for 15 minutes, let it stand and separate the water layer, add a regulator to adjust the pH value in the toluene layer, and separate the water layer; Step 3: Wash the toluene layer with 50 g of water again, and separate the water layer; Step 4: Concentrate the toluene layer under reduced pressure until there are no more droplets to obtain 15.7 g of an oily liquid, then add 20 g of petroleum ether and 5 g of ethyl acetate, stir and cool down to 0 - 10 °C, and crystallize for 1 - 2 hours; Step 5: Filter the product in Step 4 by suction, and add an appropriate amount of detergent before suction filtration; Step 6: Dry the product of Step 5 at 50 °C to obtain 9 g of a white solid crystalline impurity - p-tert-butylphenylcyclopropylmethanone; Step 7: Take a sample for analysis.
[0006] Preferably, the regulator in the second step is 3 mol / L hydrochloric acid, and the pH is adjusted to 6-7.
[0007] Preferably, the detergent is petroleum ether.
[0008] Preferably, the GC purity of the sample analysis is 99.67%.
[0009] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows: First, the present invention has the advantages of simple operation, short preparation period, high yield, high purity, etc.
[0010] Second, the impurities of the prepared tert-butyl phenyl cyclopropyl ketone can effectively make up for the gap in the control of pharmacopoeia impurities. Using it as an impurity reference substance for the process of ebastine raw material medicine is of great significance for improving the quality control and drug safety of ebastine.
[0011] Third, it has guiding significance for the control of synthetic process parameters, and effectively improves the yield and quality of ebastine. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
