Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to a novel compound intermediate structure for the synthesis of dronedarone and its preparation method, belonging to the field of inventions of new drug synthesis routes and their industrial production applications. Background Technology

[0002] Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common sustained arrhythmia, significantly increasing the risk of heart failure, cognitive impairment, and dementia, and is also an independent risk factor for stroke. Dronedarone hydrochloride, developed by Sanofi-Aventis and first marketed in the United States in 2009, is an antiarrhythmic drug, as shown in structural formula 11. It is primarily used to control heart rate, maintain sinus rhythm, and slow ventricular rhythm in patients with atrial fibrillation and atrial flutter. Compared to the earlier classic drug amiodarone, although both have similar physiological effects, dronedarone's lack of iodine atoms significantly reduces its lipophilicity, thus minimizing its effects on the thyroid gland and thyroid hormones. It also shows improvements in cardiotoxicity and extracardiac adverse reactions. (Kuzniatsova N., Pamukcu B., Lip GYH, Therapy, 2011, 8 (6), 681-689;Patel PB, Patel KC, Mehta HR, Int. Res. J. Pharm,2011, 2 (3), 59-65; Patel PD, Bhuriya R., Patel DD, Arora BL, Singh PP, Arora RR, Vasc. Health Risk Manage, 2009, 5 , 635-642; Dobromir D., Stanley N., Lancet, 2010, 375 , 1212-1223; Singh BN, CapucciA., Radzik D., Hohnloser SN, Engl. J. Med., 2007, 357 (987-999) .

[0003] Due to the growing interest in this class of drugs, several routes have been developed and applied to the preparation of dronedarone or its intermediates. One such route involves the condensation of p-methanesulfonamide benzoquinone (Structural Formula 12) and 3-oxyheptanoate (Structural Formula 13) to obtain a phenolic hydroxyl intermediate (Structural Formula 14), which then requires intramolecular dehydration condensation to form a benzofuran core structure (Structural Formula 15). (CN 102153531) In this route, compound 12 is not commercially available, and its preparation requires the highly toxic and irritating odor of p-benzoquinone, making it unsuitable for large-scale industrial production. In addition, researchers have developed other routes that avoid the use of 2-butyl-5-nitrobenzofuran intermediates, but these routes all suffer from problems such as excessively long routes and uncontrollable costs (CN01101296.X, CN200480038285.2, CN200910006741.X, WO2009044143, WO2010038029). .

[0004] The preparation was completed using 2-butyl-5-nitrobenzofuran (structural formula 16) as an intermediate (US5223510, WO2002048078, W2003040120, FR28777341, CN200610113471.7). Currently, there is a lack of stable, industrially available supplies of 2-butyl-5-nitrobenzofuran, and it is expensive. The preparation of the compound with structural formula 16 requires 5-6 reaction steps. Therefore, this route suffers from lengthy steps and high costs. Furthermore, the scale-up preparation of nitro compounds also poses a safety risk of explosion, and the reduction of nitro compounds requires a high-pressure hydrogenation unit, placing high demands on the equipment. .

[0005] The route for preparing 5-nitro-2-butyl-3-benzofuranic acid (Structure 20) from p-nitrophenol (Structure 17) via iodination (Structure 18) – palladium-catalyzed alkynylation (Structure 19) – ring closure and carbon dioxide insertion also carries the risk of the nitro compound being explosive (Bull. Korean Chem. Soc. 2014, Vol. 35, No. 7). Five out of the nine steps in this route involve nitro compound intermediates. Furthermore, due to issues such as carbon dioxide gas insertion and catalytic hydrogenation reduction of the nitro group, it still requires high-strength pressurized equipment. .

[0006] Similarly, the iodination (Structure 18) and propargyl etherification (Structure 21) of p-nitrophenol (Structure 17) also carries the risk of scale-up due to the explosive nature of nitro compounds. Subsequent preparation of the diboron-based intermediate (Structure 22) using a gold catalyst in a photocatalytic system is costly and lacks atom economy. Furthermore, the industrial application of photocatalysis systems currently faces significant limitations. . Summary of the Invention

[0007] In the industrial production of dronedarone, there is still much room for improvement in the current technology. It is essential to design and develop a safe, practical, inexpensive and readily available raw and excipient-efficient, cost-effective, and environmentally friendly synthesis process.
