[0002] Bumetanide is a derivative of m-aminobenzenesulfonamide and is a potent diuretic. Its diuretic mechanism involves inhibition of sodium... + -K + -It is related to the activity of ATPase. It mainly works by inhibiting the activity of Cl- in the thick ascending limb of the loop of Henle. - The active reabsorption of Cl- and the passive reabsorption of Na+ affect the urine concentration and dilution process, thus exerting a diuretic effect. Cl- also acts on the proximal convoluted tubule and has a certain renal vasodilatory effect. Cl- in the initial stage of diuresis... - Excretion increased 20-fold, Na + Excretion increased 13-fold; when medication continued, urinary Cl... - It will no longer be more than Na + Bumetanide has a weaker inhibitory effect on carbonic anhydrase than furosemide, therefore its potassium loss is also less. 1 mg of bumetanide is approximately equivalent to 40 mg of furosemide.

[0086] Through extensive and in-depth research, the inventors have discovered for the first time a highly efficient method for the synthesis of bumetanide using readily available raw materials and involving a concise process. Compared to traditional processes that require nitration with concentrated nitric acid and concentrated sulfuric acid, as well as catalytic hydrogenation, this invention uses only common reagents and operates under mild conditions, making it highly suitable for industrial production. This invention was completed based on this discovery.

[0090] As used herein, the terms “comprising,” “including,” and “containing” are used interchangeably and include not only closed definitions but also semi-closed and open definitions. In other words, the terms include “consisting of” and “substantially consisting of”.

[0095] This invention innovatively modifies the molecular structure of a key precursor compound, replacing the chlorine atom on the original benzene ring with a hydroxyl group and simultaneously introducing a fluorine atom at its ortho position, thus designing the BM1 compound. This structural design produces multiple unexpected technical effects: First, the introduction of fluorine atoms effectively improves atom utilization and reduces material consumption at the source. Second, the hydroxyl, fluorine, and carboxylic acid groups in the BM1 compound together form a unique combination of substituents, and the resulting electronic and positioning effects ensure that the sulfonyl reference is located at the ortho position of the hydroxyl group in the next chlorosulfonic acid reaction step.

[0096] The improvements and optimizations of this invention fundamentally simplify the total synthesis route, successfully avoiding the harsh and dangerous reactions such as nitration and catalytic hydrogenation that must be used in the original route, significantly shortening the overall process route, making the reaction conditions milder and safer, and easier to industrialize.

[0097] The main advantages of this invention include: (1) The preparation method of the present invention is simple to operate, does not require harsh reaction conditions (such as strong acid), the reaction conditions are relatively mild, and it is also environmentally friendly.

[0098] (2) The preparation method of the present invention does not require the use of precious metal catalysts, and the cost is low.
