Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention belongs to the field of pharmaceutical chemistry, and particularly relates to a ribociclib intermediate and a preparation method thereof. Background Art
[0002] The chemical name of ribociclib is succinic acid-7-cyclopentyl-N,N-dimethyl-2-{[5-(piperazin-1-yl)-piperidin-2-yl]amino}-7H-pyrrolo[2,3-d]pyrimidine-6-carboxamide, and the specific structural formula is as follows: 。
[0003] Current reports in the prior art show that there are mainly two methods for synthesizing ribociclib. In Patent WO2012064805, compound Al0 and cyclopentylamine A11 undergo an aromatic nucleophilic substitution reaction to obtain compound A20. Compound A20 is converted to compound A30 through a Sonogashira reaction. Subsequently, compound A30 is cyclized under the action of TBAF to obtain compound A40. Then, compound A40 is reacted under the action of MnO2, NaCN, and dimethylamine hydrochloride to obtain compound A50. Compound A50 and the side-chain compound A51 undergo a Buchwald-Hartwig amination reaction to obtain compound A60. Finally, the Boc protecting group is removed in the presence of HCl to obtain ribociclib. In this route, expensive metal Pd catalysts are used in two steps, resulting in a relatively high material cost. In addition, a large amount of solid manganese dioxide is used as an oxidant in the process of oxidizing alcohol to prepare amide, which is inconvenient for process scale-up operation. Moreover, highly toxic sodium cyanide is used, posing a great risk to workers during operation. Also, the reaction equipment, waste liquid, and waste gas treatment need to meet very high standards, which is not conducive to process scale-up.
[0004] 。
[0005] Patent CN 106749259 B uses compound B10 as a raw material, reduces the ester group of B10 to an alcohol group through ester reduction to obtain compound B20, oxidizes the hydroxyl group of compound B20 to an aldehyde group to obtain compound B30, generates compound B40 through aromatic nucleophilic substitution reaction, undergoes nucleophilic addition and dehydration to form a pyrrole ring and then adds water to compound B40, and obtains compound B50 through ester hydrolysis. Compound B50 undergoes amide condensation in the presence of a condensing agent to obtain compound B60. Compound B60 undergoes a sulfide oxidation reaction to generate a sulfone compound B70. Compound B70 undergoes an aromatic nucleophilic substitution reaction to obtain compound B80. Finally, compound B80 removes Boc under acidic conditions to produce ribociclib. In the process of preparing compound B50 in this synthetic route, flammable diisobutylaluminum hydride is used to reduce the ester group of B10 to a hydroxyl group, and the process operation risk is high; manganese dioxide is also used to reduce the hydroxyl group to an aldehyde group to obtain compound B30, and a large amount of solid waste is generated in this step of operation; sodium hydride is used in the B50 step, and hydrogen is generated during production, posing a safety risk; in the synthesis process of B50, the ester group of B10 is reduced to the corresponding alcohol, and this alcohol is then oxidized to an aldehyde. This aldehyde then undergoes intramolecular cyclization to obtain B50. The entire process has poor atom economy, long reaction steps, and low efficiency. The ECDI, HOBT, and m-chloroperoxybenzoic acid reagents used in the B60 step and the B70 step are expensive and not suitable for industrial production.
[0006] 。
[0007] Patent CN108586356 B uses compounds B10 and B11 as raw materials, generates compound B20 through aromatic nucleophilic substitution, generates compound B30 through intramolecular substitution of compound B20 in the presence of tert-butanol, and then obtains compound B40 through reduction with sodium borohydride. After compound B40 forms a sulfonate ester with methanesulfonyl chloride, it undergoes elimination to form a pyrrole ring to obtain compound B50. The raw material compound B10 in this route is expensive. There is a selectivity problem in the two chlorine substitutions in B10 during the preparation of B20, which has a substantial impact on the purification and quality control of the product; methanesulfonyl chloride is used in the preparation of B50, which is highly toxic and has a foul odor, and the reaction will generate genotoxic impurities, which is not conducive to quality control; an expensive metal Pd catalyst is used in the preparation of the B60 step, resulting in a high cost.
