Description
TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of compound preparation, in particular to a synthesis method of fosfomycin intermediate levofosmidium salt. BACKGROUND
[0002] Fosfomycin is a broad-spectrum antibiotic. Fosfomycin can penetrate the blood-brain barrier and irreversibly inhibit the early stages of cell wall synthesis. Fosfomycin has antibacterial activity against a range of bacteria, including multi-drug resistant (MDR), extensively drug-resistant (XDR) and pandrug-resistant (PDR) bacteria. It is used for respiratory tract infections, urinary tract infections, skin and soft tissue infections caused by sensitive bacteria, etc. Levofosmidium salt is an important organic intermediate for the synthesis of fosfomycin, and its chemical formula is C 11 H 18 NO4P, CAS No.: 25383-07-7.
[0003] At present, the synthesis method of levofosmidium salt mainly includes the following methods:
[0004] One route is to use propynol as a raw material, to esterify, rearrange, hydrolyze and hydrogenate to obtain cis-propenyl phosphonic acid, and then to obtain levofosmidium salt by salifying and epoxidizing cis-propenyl phosphonic acid with R-(+)-alpha-phenethylamine. This method is a classical method for preparing levofosmidium salt, but has the following disadvantages: large solvent consumption, complicated distillation and concentration steps, large energy consumption, etc.
[0005] Another route is also to use propynol as a raw material to obtain cis-propenyl phosphonic acid, and then to obtain levofosmidium salt by salifying and epoxidizing cis-propenyl phosphonic acid with (±) alpha-phenethylamine, and then by separating and recrystallizing. However, this method has a long route, many side reactions, especially complex operation of racemic salt separation, large energy consumption and low product yield.
[0006] Another route is to use activated carbon supported H2WO4 / C and PW / C as catalysts to catalyze the epoxidation reaction of cis-propenyl phosphonic acid (±)-alpha-phenethylamine salt, and the catalyst can be used for several times. However, the activity of H2WO4 / C catalyst is low, the yield of racemic salt is low, the preparation cost of PW / C catalyst is high, the process is complex, and industrialization is difficult to realize. SUMMARY
[0007] In order to solve the above technical problems, the purpose of the present application is to provide a synthesis method of fosfomycin intermediate levofosmidium salt, which has simple process, low energy consumption and high reaction yield.
[0008] To achieve the above purpose, the present application provides the following technical scheme: the synthesis method comprises the following steps:

[0026] 5. The average molar yield of this invention is not less than 45%, and all solvents used can be recycled and reused, which is environmentally friendly. Attached Figure Description
