Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of pharmaceutical intermediates processing, and particularly relates to a synthesis method of 5-bromo-2-cyclopropyl pyrimidine. BACKGROUND

[0002] 5-bromo-2-cyclopropyl pyrimidine (C7H7BrN2) is a novel pharmaceutical intermediate and a widely used molecular building block. A commonly used method for preparing the compound is to react 5-bromo-2-iodopyrimidine with a Grignard reagent, cyclopropyl magnesium bromide, under the catalysis of a palladium catalyst (tetrakis(triphenylphosphine palladium)), and the main by-product is deiodized 5-bromopyrimidine. The reaction uses expensive initial raw material 5-bromo-2-iodopyrimidine, which is generally priced at 3000 yuan / kg on the market, palladium catalyst, and cyclopropyl bromide (which needs to be freshly prepared Grignard reagent cyclopropyl magnesium bromide). The by-product and the product have very similar physicochemical properties such as polarity and boiling point, and it is very difficult to purify and separate them. The methods disclosed in patents such as US201551395, US2018291002, and WO2023146512 are all based on the above method. The raw material cost is high, the reaction process needs to be strictly operated in a water-free and oxygen-free environment, the operation is difficult, the product needs to be separated and purified by column chromatography, and the yield is low. The patents WO2006004532 (yield not reported) of AstraZeneca and CN118852223 of Zhejiang Jiangbei Nanhai Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd. start from mucobromic acid, neutralize the cyclopropyl formamidine hydrochloride salt with sodium ethoxide, condense with mucobromic acid to form an imine, and then treat with sodium ethoxide to dehydrate and ring-close to obtain a 5-bromo-2-cyclopropyl-4-pyrimidine carboxylic acid intermediate. The pyrimidine carboxylic acid intermediate is separated and then heated at high temperature (>140 DEG C) in a xylene solution or under solvent-free conditions to generate 5-bromo-2-cyclopropyl pyrimidine. These synthesis methods require high-temperature conditions, the reaction process releases gas, and high-vacuum concentration is required for post-treatment, which is very risky for large-scale production. Moreover, the impurities in the crude product have similar structures, which greatly increases the difficulty of post-treatment and product purification. In summary, the synthesis methods reported in the literature are harsh in reaction conditions, complicated in operation, or difficult to obtain raw materials, resulting in high cost. Therefore, we propose a simple synthesis method of 5-bromo-2-cyclopropyl pyrimidine. SUMMARY

This imine salt is then prepared using fluoroboric acid to form a 2-bromoethylene ether onium salt, followed by a cyclization reaction with cyclopropylformamidinium hydrochloride in sodium methoxide and methanol to obtain the final product. This method boasts low raw material costs, high overall yield, simple operation, high safety, and meets green chemistry requirements. The obtained 5-bromo-2-cyclopropylpyrimidine exhibits high purity. Furthermore, most reaction steps in this preparation method are carried out at room temperature or under heating, eliminating the need for stringent anhydrous, ultra-low temperature, or high temperature operating conditions.

DMF, ethanol, methanol, and methyl tert-butyl ether are commonly used organic solvents in organic chemistry laboratories; phosphine oxychloride and sodium methoxide in methanol solution are inexpensive chemical raw materials; 2-bromoacetic acid and fluoroboric acid are inexpensive; and cyclopropylformamidinium hydrochloride is a commercially available product. Post-reaction processing is relatively simple, resulting in lower production costs and less environmental pollution. The process is economically practical and operable, making it suitable for industrial production. Attached Figure Description

[0017] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the present application, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present application, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort should fall within the scope of protection of the present application.

[0018] This invention provides a method for synthesizing 5-bromo-2-cyclopropylpyrimidine, comprising the following steps: S1: Provides a molar ratio of phosphine oxychloride:DMF:2-bromoacetic acid:fluoroboric acid = 3:7:1-1.2:2.5-3.2; S2: Add phosphorus oxychloride dropwise to DMF under an ice-water bath. After the addition is complete, a mixture is formed. Remove the ice-water bath, heat the mixture to room temperature and stir for 0.5-1 hour to obtain the formylation reagent. S3: Add 2-bromoacetic acid to the formylation reagent obtained in step S2 under an ice-water bath. After the addition is complete, a second mixture is formed. Heat the second mixture to 60-80℃ and stir the mixture for 6-8 hours under controlled temperature. Stop the reaction when no 2-bromoacetic acid is detected, and obtain the first reaction solution. S4: Cool the reaction solution one from step S3 to 0-5℃, add ice-cold ethanol dropwise to quench the reaction, and then obtain mixture three; S5: Cool the above mixture to 0-5℃, add 50% fluoroboric acid solution dropwise, and after the addition is complete, allow it to naturally warm up to 20-25℃. Stir for 2-3 hours, then cool it again to 0-5℃ and allow it to crystallize for 8-15 hours. Filter the solution, wash the filter cake, and dry it in an oven to obtain 2-bromoethylenemididine salt solid. S6: The molar ratio of 2-bromoethyleneamidine onion salt solid: cyclopropylmethylamidine hydrochloride: sodium methoxide methanol solution = 1:1:2.1-2.3; S7: 2-bromoethyleneamidine onion salt solid and cyclopropylmethylamidine hydrochloride are dissolved in methanol, and 30% sodium methoxide methanol solution is added dropwise at room temperature. After the addition is complete, reaction solution two is obtained. Reaction solution two is heated to reflux and stirred for 5-8 hours. When the residual cyclopropylmethylamidine hydrochloride is detected to be <0.5%, stirring is stopped to obtain reaction solution three. S8: The reaction solution was concentrated and desolventized by a rotary evaporator with a water pump. The residue was diluted, extracted three times with methyl tert-butyl ether, and the organic phases were combined and washed once. After drying with a desiccant, the mixture was filtered and concentrated to dryness to obtain 5-bromo-2-cyclopropylpyrimidine product.

[0019] The reaction was stopped in step S3 after the absence of 2-bromoacetic acid was detected by central GC.

[0020] In step S7, the reaction was stopped when the residual cyclopropanediol hydrochloride was detected to be <0.5% using a central GC.

[0021] In step S5, the filter cake is washed with ice-cold ethanol.

[0022] The residue in step S8 is diluted with ice water.

[0023] In step S8, the organic phases are combined and then washed once with saturated brine.

[0024] The desiccant in step S8 is sodium sulfate.

[0025] It is worth noting that DMF is N,N-dimethylformamide, which is one of the most commonly used solvents in organic synthesis.

[0026] It is worth noting that intermediate control GC is short for intermediate control gas chromatography, which is an analytical technique commonly used in organic synthesis or chemical production to monitor the reaction process in real time. Its core purpose is to take samples for analysis at key stages of the reaction and to quickly detect changes in the content of raw materials, intermediates, products and impurities in the reaction system through gas chromatography.

[0027] Step S2 involves controlling the dropwise addition process using an ice-water bath to avoid the intense exothermic reaction between phosphorus oxychloride (POCl3) and DMF, thus preventing local overheating and side reactions. After the dropwise addition is complete, remove the ice-water bath and stir at room temperature for 0.5-1 hour to allow DMF and POCl3 to fully react and generate a formylation reagent, ensuring the reagent's activity and providing sufficient active ingredients for subsequent acylation reactions.

[0028] Step S3 involves adding the reagent in an ice-water bath to control the initial reaction temperature of 2-bromoacetic acid and the formylation reagent. This avoids excessively vigorous reactions at low temperatures or side reactions of 2-bromoacetic acid at high temperatures. Heating to 60-80°C and stirring for 6-8 hours is the optimal condition for the acylation reaction, promoting electrophilic substitution between the formylation reagent and 2-bromoacetic acid to generate a key intermediate. Central GC detection ensures no residual 2-bromoacetic acid, guaranteeing a complete reaction and preventing unreacted 2-bromoacetic acid from entering subsequent steps, thus reducing the impact of impurities (such as unacylated brominated products) on the final product.

[0029] In step S7, sodium methoxide neutralizes cyclopropylmethylamidine hydrochloride to generate free cyclopropylmethylamidine (containing an active amino group). This free cyclopropylmethylamidine acts as a nucleophile, attacking the α-carbon (or double bond) of 2-bromoethyleneamidine onium salt, initiating a cyclization reaction to generate the core skeleton of 5-bromo-2-cyclopropylpyrimidine. Reflux increases the reaction temperature, accelerates the cyclization rate, and promotes intramolecular dehydration or elimination reactions. Central-controlled GC detection ensures that the residual cyclopropylmethylamidine is <0.5%, guaranteeing almost complete reaction and preventing residual cyclopropylmethylamidine from co-crystallizing with the product or undergoing side reactions (such as hydrolysis) in subsequent steps, thus improving the purity of the final product.
