Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the field of drug synthesis, and more particularly to a heterocyclic compound used as an anti-inflammatory drug and a preparation method thereof. Background Art
[0002] 1-(2-chloropyridin-3-yl)piperidin-4-one compounds contain a chloropyridine group and a piperidone structure. Similar to chloropyridine intermediates (such as 2-chloro-5-chloromethylpyridine), they can serve as synthetic intermediates for novel insecticides (such as the neonicotinoid imidacloprid) or herbicides (such as diquat). Chloropyridine compounds also play a key role in the development of fifth-generation insecticides (such as chlorantraniliprole). Piperidone derivatives are often used as core backbones in drug synthesis. For example, donepezil, a drug for the treatment of Alzheimer's disease, contains a piperidone structure. This compound may contribute to the development of drugs for neurodegenerative diseases through structural modification or serve as a precursor for the synthesis of complex nitrogen-containing heterocycles (such as 2,4-piperidinedione). The active sites of the chlorine atom and pyridine ring in its structure make it suitable for coupling reactions or nucleophilic substitution reactions, enabling the preparation of functional materials or fine chemicals with unique activities.
