Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the field of pharmaceutical reagents, in particular to an intermediate containing an acetylfuran structure and a preparation method thereof. BACKGROUND

[0002] The intermediate containing an acetylfuran structure, as an important organic synthesis building block, has a wide application prospect in the field of pharmaceutical and chemical industry, especially in the synthesis of antitumor drugs, antibiotics and biologically active molecules. This kind of intermediate can provide multiple reaction sites for subsequent chemical transformation through its unique furan ring structure and acetyl functional group, and is an important precursor compound for building complex molecular skeleton. In modern pharmaceutical industry, the performance requirements for such intermediates are increasingly strict, not only high purity is required to ensure the selectivity of subsequent reactions and the quality of products, but also good crystalline morphology is required to facilitate separation and purification, storage and transportation. At the same time, the efficiency and environmental protection of catalytic synthesis process have become important factors for industrial production, which requires the catalyst to have high activity, good selectivity and recyclable characteristics. With the development of precision medicine and personalized medicine, the demand for high-quality intermediates containing acetylfuran structure continues to grow, which promotes the continuous progress and improvement of related preparation technology, and provides important material basis and technical support for the innovation and development of pharmaceutical industry.

[0003] Although the intermediate containing acetylfuran structure has important value in pharmaceutical synthesis, the current preparation technology still has many technical bottlenecks and challenges. The traditional synthesis method generally faces the problem of low catalytic efficiency, mainly because the active sites of commonly used catalysts are unevenly distributed, and the surface area is small, which makes it difficult to meet the requirements of industrial production in terms of conversion rate and selectivity of catalytic reaction. For example, CN112961125B discloses a process for preparing 2-acetylfuran using a solid acid catalyst, but the catalyst has insufficient activity and the product purity is low. In addition, the dehydration cyclization reaction in the existing preparation process often lacks precise temperature control strategy, which easily produces side reactions and isomers, further reducing the purity and yield of the target product. The product separation and purification process also has obvious defects, and the traditional recrystallization method cannot effectively control the crystal morphology and size distribution, resulting in unstable physical properties of the product and affecting the reliability of subsequent application. The reusability of the catalyst also needs to be improved, and the activity of most catalytic systems decreases significantly after a few uses, increasing the production cost and causing environmental burden. These technical limitations seriously restrict the large-scale production and wide application of intermediates containing acetylfuran structure, and it is urgent to develop more efficient and environmentally friendly preparation technology.

[0237] The performance of the intermediates in Examples 1-4 and Comparative Examples 1-15 is summarized in Table 1. The constant temperature control strategy in Comparative Example 1 instead of the segmented temperature control resulted in insufficient catalyst activation and decreased reaction selectivity, leading to obvious deterioration in product purity and crystal morphology quality. The reduction of citric acid ratio in Comparative Example 2 destroyed the complex stability of the catalyst precursor, directly affecting the formation of the specific surface area and basic site density of the catalyst, and then reducing the catalytic activity and product quality. The use of methanol instead of dioxane as the solvent in Comparative Example 3 interfered with the selectivity mechanism of the dehydration reaction due to the strong polarity and active hydrogen characteristics of methanol, increasing the probability of side reactions. Although the solubility of the product was improved, the purity and thermal stability were significantly reduced. The low-temperature calcination strategy in Comparative Example 4 could not provide sufficient thermodynamic driving force to complete the formation of La2O3 crystal phase and the development of active structure, resulting in a sharp decrease in the specific surface area of the catalyst and a significant deterioration in thermal stability. The reduction of catalyst dosage in Comparative Example 5 directly limited the conversion efficiency of the reaction, and the residue of unreacted raw materials increased the impurity content and inhibited the normal growth process of the crystal. The constant temperature cooling recrystallization strategy in Comparative Example 6 destroyed the precise control mechanism of crystal nucleation and growth, although the purity was relatively small, but it significantly affected the size distribution and morphology quality of the crystal. The low-temperature hydrothermal treatment in Comparative Example 7 could not provide sufficient energy conditions for the microstructure assembly of the catalyst, causing uneven distribution of active sites and a decrease in overall catalytic performance. Changing the extraction phase ratio in Comparative Example 8 destroyed the optimization balance of impurity removal, affecting the effect of the subsequent recrystallization process and the purity of the final product. The reaction in air atmosphere in Comparative Example 9 introduced oxygen oxidation to the catalyst and product, not only causing partial deactivation of the catalyst but also promoting the oxidative degradation of the product, resulting in deterioration of both purity and thermal stability. The removal of the structure-directing agent in Comparative Example 10 eliminated the template effect of the catalyst ordered structure formation, leading to disordering of the catalyst microstructure and a significant decrease in specific surface area and basic site density. The high-temperature concentration process in Comparative Example 11 may trigger thermal decomposition reactions of the product, affecting not only the stability of the product but also the normal growth mechanism of the crystal. The high-pressure reaction conditions in Comparative Example 12 changed the thermodynamic and kinetic balance of the reaction system, which may promote undesirable side reaction pathways, affecting the selectivity and purity of the product. The simplified calcination procedure in Comparative Example 13 resulted in rapid decomposition of the organic template and collapse of the catalyst structure, severely damaging the microstructure integrity and effectiveness of the active sites of the catalyst. The lack of seed addition in Comparative Example 14 eliminated the guiding mechanism of crystal nucleation, although it had little effect on chemical purity, but it significantly affected the size control and morphology regularity of the crystal. Omitting the molecular sieve pretreatment step in Comparative Example 15 resulted in excessive water content in the reaction system, which caused the most severe performance deterioration due to the strong competitive adsorption of water molecules on the catalyst active sites and the inhibition of the dehydration reaction. Not only was the purity reduced to the lowest level, but the thermal stability also decreased significantly.

Figure 2 The XRD phase analysis of the above confirms that the catalyst of example 2 has a complete La2O3 crystal structure and good crystallinity, which provides a structural basis for efficient catalysis. More importantly, Figure 3 The intermediate product of example 2 exhibits a regular needle-like crystal morphology, while Figure 6 and Figure 7 The intermediates of the comparative examples in the above respectively exhibit irregular lump shape and fine particle shape, and the crystal morphology is quite different, which directly reflects the decisive influence of the performance of different catalysts on the quality of the product. Figure 8 The full sample performance comparison data of the above further confirms that the total purity of all examples is in the range of 97.8-99.5%, and the impurity content is controlled in the range of 0.5-2.2%, while the total purity of 15 comparative examples is only 88.2-96.8%, and the impurity content is as high as 3.2-11.8%, and the lowest purity (97.8%) of the examples still significantly exceeds the highest purity (96.8%) of the comparative examples, which fully verifies that the systematic innovation of the key technical links such as catalyst preparation, reaction control and crystallization process in the present application realizes the fundamental improvement of the product quality.
