Abstract

This invention belongs to the field of pharmaceutical technology, specifically providing a new method for synthesizing crude dotenoradine. This invention uses 2-aminobenzylthiol as the starting material, and obtains crude dotenoradine through cyclization reaction, first oxidation reaction, acylation reaction, and second oxidation reaction. It mainly utilizes the relatively weak oxidizing property of hydrogen peroxide, which makes it difficult to directly oxidize sulfide (1) to sulfone (2') in a high yield. Instead, relatively expensive m-chloroperoxybenzoic acid is still needed to complete the oxidation. This invention controls the oxidation of sulfide by controlling the amount of hydrogen peroxide and the composite catalyst and catalytic aid, so that most of the oxidation products remain in the sulfoxide structure (2) and are difficult to completely convert to the sulfone structure. After another oxidation reaction, the amount of m-chloroperoxybenzoic acid can be reduced relatively much, thus reducing the synthesis cost of crude dotenoradine.

Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of pharmaceutical technology, specifically relating to a method for synthesizing dotenoroxetine. Background Technology

[0002] Dotinurad is an active pharmaceutical ingredient (API) jointly developed by Fujiyama Pharmaceutical and Mochida Pharmaceutical in Japan for the treatment of hyperuricemia and gout. It was approved for marketing in Japan on January 23, 2020. Its mechanism of action is to target and inhibit the activity of urate reabsorption transporters, selectively inhibiting uric acid reabsorption transport proteins in the kidneys, thereby inhibiting uric acid reabsorption and lowering uric acid levels in the blood.

[0003] In January 2024, the National Medical Products Administration of China accepted the marketing application for dotenorazole. The Phase 3 clinical trial in China enrolled 451 patients with gout, and the results showed that dotenorazole significantly reduced blood uric acid levels within 24 weeks.

[0004] The original patent WO2011040449A1 reports a method for synthesizing dotenororil, using 2-aminophenylethanol as the starting material, which undergoes cyclization with formaldehyde or its equivalent to obtain benzothiazoline, followed by a condensation reaction with 3,5-dichloro-4-hydroxybenzoic acid or its phenolic hydroxyl-protected derivative, and finally oxidation with m-chloroperoxybenzoic acid to deprotect the group and obtain dotenororil. However, this process has drawbacks, including the large amount of m-chloroperoxybenzoic acid required (approximately 4.5 eq), the difficult operation, the difficulty in removing the large amount of m-chlorobenzoic acid after the reaction, and the difficulty in obtaining high yields of sulfone-based products with other oxidants.

[0005]

[0006] CN118580197A discloses a method for preparing dotenoroxetine and its application, which introduces ester groups into the route, avoiding the high-temperature reaction in the demethylation step of methoxy compounds in the prior art, and the dotenoroxetine prepared by this method has simple post-processing and high purity.

[0007]

[0008] Patent CN111662247A mentions first oxidizing benzothiazoline to a sulfone group, and then condensing it with 3,5-dichloro-4-hydroxybenzoic acid to obtain dotenoroxetine. However, the literature mentions that when hydrogen peroxide is selected as the oxidant, the reaction needs to be carried out at 90-100℃. The solvent for the reaction is acetic acid, and the actual substance involved in the reaction is peracetic acid. High temperature, high heat, metal ions and reducing agents can also cause peracetic acid to explode. Conducting experiments at such high temperatures poses a huge safety hazard.

[0009]

[0010] The method provided by patent CN111675675A involves directly acylating 2-aminobenzenethiol to obtain a mercapto-containing intermediate, followed by a cyclization reaction, and finally an oxidation reaction to obtain dotenoroxetine. However, the mercapto group in this process has high nucleophilicity, making it difficult to obtain a product that only reacts with the amino group during the acylation reaction, resulting in a low yield.

[0011] Summary of the Invention

[0012] In the process of oxidizing benzothiazole to sulfone, this invention found that only m-chloroperoxybenzoic acid is the most effective and can be completed in one step. Other oxidants are relatively unsatisfactory, and the resulting products are all mixtures of sulfoxide and sulfone.

[0013] This invention utilizes the unsatisfactory properties of other oxidants by dividing the oxidation reaction into two stages. The first oxidation reaction is relatively easy to carry out, and hydrogen peroxide, with its relatively weak oxidizing power and low cost, is chosen. The reaction can be conducted in water with a platinum / mesoporous alumina composite catalyst. The second oxidation reaction is completed after condensation. This is mainly because the oxidant in oxidation reaction II is m-chloroperoxybenzoic acid, which has poor solubility in water, and less m-chloroperoxybenzoic acid is needed after condensation.

[0014] To address the above problems, this invention provides a method for synthesizing crude dotenoradine, comprising the following steps:

[0015] S1,2-aminobenzylthiol undergoes a cyclization reaction with a cyclizing agent to give intermediate 1, namely 2,3-dihydrobenzothiazole;

[0016] S2,2,3-dihydrobenzothiazole undergoes oxidation reaction I to generate intermediate 2, which has a sulfoxide structure;

[0017] S3, intermediate 2 reacts with the acyl chloride formed by 3,5-dichloro-4-hydroxybenzoic acid to give intermediate 3;

[0018] S3 and intermediate 3 undergo oxidation reaction II to produce crude dotenoradine.

[0019]

[0020] The synthesis method of this invention, in S1, involves the following steps: 80-150g of 2-aminobenzylthiol and 100-200g of the cyclizing reagent are added to 300-800mL of isopropyl ether and stirred. After the cyclization reaction is carried out at room temperature for 10-12 hours, 200-500mL of 10wt% sodium carbonate aqueous solution is taken to wash twice, followed by washing once with water, and the mixture is separated. 20-50g of anhydrous sodium sulfate is added and the mixture is dried under reduced pressure to obtain intermediate 1, namely 2,3-dihydrobenzothiazole.

[0021] The synthesis method described in this invention, in S2, oxidation reaction I is as follows: 80-100g of 2,3-dihydrobenzothiazole and 1-5g of platinum / mesoporous alumina composite catalyst are added to 100-200mL of ethanol and stirred until dissolved. Then, 100-120g of 30wt% hydrogen peroxide solution is added, and the mixture is heated to 30-40℃ and stirred for 10-15h. 30-80g of sodium bisulfite is added and stirring is continued for 1h. Then, 300-500mL of water is added, and the mixture is cooled to crystallize, yielding intermediate 2.

[0022] The synthesis method described in this invention involves the following steps: In step S3, the acyl chloride reaction is performed as follows: 60-110g of intermediate 2 is added to 300-550mL of dichloromethane for later use; 100-150g of 3,5-dichloro-4-hydroxybenzoic acid is added to 500-800mL of dichloromethane; 80-120g of thionyl chloride is slowly added dropwise at room temperature; the temperature is raised to 30-50℃ and maintained for 6 hours; then the temperature is lowered to 10-15℃ and 120-150g of triethylamine is added dropwise; a solution of intermediate 2 dissolved in dichloromethane is then slowly added dropwise; the temperature is raised to 30-40℃ and reacted for 2 hours; 800-1200mL of water is added and stirred; the mixture is extracted and separated; the aqueous phase is washed with 300-800mL of dichloromethane; and the solution is concentrated to obtain intermediate 3.

[0023] In the synthesis method described in this invention, oxidation reaction II in S4 is as follows: 1200-1800 mL of dichloromethane is added to 120-180 g of intermediate 3, followed by the slow addition of 150-200 g of m-chloroperoxybenzoic acid. After reacting at 30-50℃ for 4-5 hours, 40-50 g of sodium bisulfite is added and the reaction continues for 1 hour. 1200-1800 mL of water is added and mixed thoroughly. The mixture is separated, washed once with water, and the organic phase is evaporated to dryness. Then, 200-500 mL of 50 wt% ethanol aqueous solution is added, stirred, and slurried. After drying, the crude dotenoradine product is obtained.

[0024] The ring-closing reagent in S1 is formaldehyde or paraformaldehyde; paraformaldehyde is preferred.

[0025] The platinum / mesoporous alumina composite catalyst in S2 is prepared by the following method:

[0026] Calcination of 8-15g of mesoporous alumina at 400-600℃ for 2-6h, cooling to room temperature under nitrogen atmosphere, and then immersing in 80-120mL of 0.01-0.02mol / L chloroplatinic acid aqueous solution, followed by filtration and drying at 90-120℃ for 6-10h; calcination at 450-600℃ for 2-6h yields platinum / mesoporous alumina for later use; dissolving 0.1-1g of catalyst in 20-80mL of 0.1mol / L sodium bicarbonate buffer, adding 5-12g of platinum / mesoporous alumina, sonicating for 1-2h, filtering, and drying at 80-120℃ for 6-12h; calcination at 400-500℃ for 4-6h.

[0027] The catalyst is any one or two of sodium tungstate, sodium molybdate, sodium metavanadate, and ammonium molybdate.

[0028] The beneficial effects of this invention are:

[0029] 1. This invention provides a novel synthetic approach for dotenorazole. Utilizing the relatively weak oxidizing power of hydrogen peroxide, it addresses the difficulty of directly oxidizing sulfides to sulfone groups in high yields. m-chloroperoxybenzoic acid completes the conversion of sulfoxides to sulfones. Side reactions are controlled using a platinum / mesoporous alumina catalyst, resulting in fewer sulfone impurities. This approach is worthy of reference by those skilled in the art.

[0030] 2. Compared with the existing technology, the two oxidation reactions of the present invention greatly reduce the amount of m-chloroperoxybenzoic acid used, reduce the synthesis cost, and have strong controllability in terms of safety.

[0031] 3. This invention optimizes the structure of platinum and the mesoporous support, and then works synergistically with a catalytic promoter. After platinum is loaded, it interacts with the hydroxyl groups on the surface of mesoporous alumina. Acidic sites promote heterolytic cracking of precursors such as hydrogen peroxide to generate ·O- reactive oxygen species; at the same time, the d electrons of platinum shift towards tungsten, enhancing surface electronic defects, improving oxidation reaction kinetics, and preventing the formation of other impurities.

[0119] Test Example 1

[0120] Residual reactive oxygen species test

[0121] Sample preparation: Take 1.0 g of intermediate 2 obtained in Examples 1-5 and Comparative Examples 1-2 respectively, add it to 50 mL of a chloroform-glacial acetic acid mixture with a volume ratio of 3:2, dissolve completely, and then make up to 100 mL and let stand for later use.

[0122] Sample testing: Take 10 mL of the prepared test sample and add 20 mL of freshly prepared 10% (w / v) potassium iodide solution and 10 mL of 1 mol / L sulfuric acid solution. Let it stand in the dark for 15 min. Titrate with 0.1 M sodium thiosulfate standard solution until the blue color disappears. The blank is 10 mL of a 3:2 mixture of chloroform and glacial acetic acid. Repeat the above steps, record and calculate the residual oxidizing activity.

[0123] The calculation formula is as follows:

[0124]

[0125] Table 1 Results of Residual Reactive Oxygen Species Test

[0126] Residual reactive oxygen species / % Example 1 1.04 Comparative Example 1 1.56 Example 2 0.79 Example 3 0.86 Example 4 0.67 Example 5 0.41 Comparative Example 2 1.13

[0127] Residual reactive oxygen species refer to those not consumed after the reaction, such as ·OH and O2. - Reactive oxygen species continuously attack the organic framework, leading to the formation of non-selective oxidation products and potential side reactions. This verifies whether the catalyst can "precisely control the degree of oxidation reaction".

[0128] The residual active oxygen in Comparative Example 1 and Example 1 was lower than that in Examples 2-5. This may be because platinum / mesoporous alumina, as a supported catalyst, results in insufficient activity in the oxidation of sulfide when sodium tungstate is added alone or when a supported catalyst is added, making it difficult to activate reactant molecules. Therefore, it is necessary to rely on auxiliary agents to optimize the interfacial reaction kinetics. Comparative Example 2 simultaneously introduced molybdenum and tungsten, which resulted in competitive adsorption on the support surface, reducing dispersion. Furthermore, the metal particles agglomerated, reducing the number of effective active sites.

[0129] Furthermore, compared to Examples 1-4, Example 5 contains less V in its sodium metavanadate. 5+ With W in sodium tungstate 6+ The formation of a co-doped structure enhances its activation ability for hydrogen peroxide through electron transfer, promotes the generation and stabilization of active oxygen species such as nitronium ions, and promotes the selective oxidation of sulfide to sulfone groups; in particular, sodium tungstate forms a dispersion layer on the surface of mesoporous alumina, inhibits the sintering of platinum particles, and prolongs the catalyst lifetime.

[0130] In Example 5, the catalyst exhibited low and stable residual active oxygen levels, indicating the highest utilization rate of hydrogen peroxide. This did not affect the maintenance of subsequent product purity and yield during the first oxidation reaction. The shift of platinum's d electrons towards tungsten enhanced the electronic defects on the platinum surface, improving its adsorption capacity for reactants. Simultaneously, sodium tungstate provided Lewis acidic sites, promoting CH bond activation, while sodium metavanadate accelerated proton transfer through surface hydroxyl groups, thereby reducing impurity formation and ensuring the stability of subsequent reactions.

[0132] Thermal stability test

[0133] Programmable temperature recovery

[0134] Take 50 mg of the platinum / mesoporous alumina composite catalysts from Examples 2-5 and Comparative Examples 1-2, and dry them in argon at 200 °C for 1 h beforehand. Use a Micromeritics AutoChem II chemisorption analyzer, set the carrier gas to a 10% H2 / Ar mixture and the flow rate to 30 mL / min, increase the temperature to 120 °C at 10 °C / min and hold for 30 min, then switch to reducing gas and increase the temperature to 500 °C at 5 °C / min. Record the results using a TCD detector.

[0135] High temperature aging test

[0136] Take 0.1 g of the platinum / mesoporous alumina composite catalyst from Examples 2-5 and Comparative Examples 1-2, grind it evenly, load it into a quartz tube, place it in a muffle furnace at 500℃, and calcine it in air atmosphere for 4 h. Observe the particle size distribution of platinum particles before and after high-temperature treatment, calculate and record the data. The results are shown in Table 2.

[0137] Table 2 Results of hygroscopicity and loss on drying tests

[0138]

[0139] The reduction peak temperature refers to the temperature at which hydrogen consumption reaches its peak during a temperature-programmed reduction test when the active components such as platinum and sodium tungstate in the catalyst undergo a reduction reaction with a reducing gas such as H2. A higher reduction peak temperature indicates a stronger bond between the active components and the support / auxiliary agent, resulting in greater catalyst stability during high-temperature reactions.

[0140] Hydrogen consumption is a key parameter reflecting the reducibility of active components and the number of active sites. The lower the consumption, the stronger the interaction between the active components and the support / auxiliary agent, and the less likely it is to be reduced and deactivated at high temperatures.

[0141] Platinum particle size variation is one of the core indicators for measuring the thermal stability of a catalyst. A small increase in particle size indicates that the support / auxiliary stabilizes the platinum particles through steric hindrance or electronic effects.

[0142] In Comparative Example 2, a composite catalyst of ammonium molybdate and sodium tungstate was used. Ammonium molybdate preferentially adsorbs onto the acidic sites of mesoporous alumina, reducing the contact opportunities between sodium tungstate and platinum, thus preventing platinum from forming a stable bond with sodium tungstate. In Example 2, the electron matching between ammonium molybdate and platinum was poor, resulting in insufficient interaction strength. In Example 3, the redox synergy between sodium metavanadate and platinum was limited, leading to a low reduction peak temperature and failing to sufficiently suppress the reducibility of platinum. In Example 4, through the synergistic effect of the pore confinement of mesoporous alumina and the strong electron anchoring of sodium tungstate, platinum was highly dispersed and bonded to sodium tungstate, resulting in relatively stable active sites.

[0143] Furthermore, in Example 5, the mismatch of valence states between W6+ and V5+ accelerates the generation cycle of active oxygen species in the catalyst, lowering the reduction peak temperature and maintaining a high density of active sites. The tungsten-vanadium composite system, through its surface WVO structure, reduces the adsorption energy of the carbon deposition precursor, showing better performance compared to the ammonium molybdate system. The dual-auxiliary-supported system catalyzes the oxidation of hydrogen peroxide combined with m-chloroperoxybenzoic acid, achieving high purity, low impurities, and good hygroscopicity, meeting the stability requirements for industrial application.
