Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of chemical pharmaceutical raw material and formulation manufacturing technology. More specifically, it relates to a method for preparing varenicline tartrate intermediate. Background Technology
[0002] Varenicline tartrate is an important non-nicotine smoking cessation medication. As a partial agonist of nicotine acetylcholine receptors, it not only mimics the binding of nicotine to its receptors to alleviate withdrawal symptoms but also blocks the complete binding of nicotine to the receptors, thereby reducing the euphoric effects of smoking. Clinical studies have shown that varenicline tartrate has advantages such as stable efficacy, few side effects, and a low relapse rate, and its efficacy is significantly superior to many conventional smoking cessation medications, making it of significant value in the field of smoking cessation treatment.
[0003] 2,3,4,5-Tetrahydro-7,8-diamino-3-(trifluoroacetyl)-1,5-methylene-1H-3-benzodiazepine is a key intermediate in the synthesis of varenicline tartrate (patents CN116725967A and CN1509174A). It possesses a 7,8-diamino structure and undergoes further intramolecular cyclization in subsequent reactions to construct the core structure of varenicline tartrate. Therefore, the synthesis efficiency and purity of this intermediate directly affect the smooth progress of subsequent reactions and the yield of the final product, varenicline tartrate.
[0004] Early synthesis processes for this intermediate used hydrogen as a reducing agent and required pressurized conditions. Although subsequent studies introduced Raney nickel catalysts to attempt improvements, the reaction still relied on hydrogen pressurization, and the highly reactive nature of Raney nickel resulted in a high risk of explosion. To mitigate the risks associated with hydrogen pressurization, researchers gradually explored reduction methods that did not require it. One study used ammonium formate as a hydrogen donor to synthesize the intermediate using noble metal catalysts such as palladium on carbon or palladium hydroxide. However, palladium-based catalysts are not only expensive, but the residue and emission of the heavy metal palladium pose potential environmental hazards, contradicting the principles of green chemistry.
[0005] Therefore, there is an urgent need to develop a synthesis method that can achieve high yield and high purity of the product without relying on hydrogen pressurization and precious metal palladium catalyst. Summary of the Invention

[0076] Results Analysis (1) Effect of different reaction temperatures on the reaction results The experimental results of Examples 1 to 4 are summarized in Table 1.
[0077] Table 1 Effect of different reaction temperatures on the reaction
[0078] As shown in Table 1, the reduction reaction at a temperature of 35–50 °C yielded a high target product yield (>84%) and excellent purity (>99%). When the reaction temperature increased from 35 °C to 40 °C, the yield increased from 87.9% to 91.1%, and the purity reached 99.64%. When the temperature was further increased to 50 °C, the yield was only slightly higher than that at 45 °C, indicating that there was no monotonic correlation between the reaction temperature and the yield.
[0079] (2) Effect of different amounts of reducing agent added on the reaction results The experimental results of Examples 1, 5-7 are summarized in Table 2.
[0080] Table 2 Effect of different amounts of sodium dithionite on the reaction
[0081] As shown in Table 2, when the amount of sodium dithionite added is 6~12 eq, the yield of the target product is high (>82%) and the purity is excellent (>98%); especially when the amount of sodium dithionite added is 8~12 eq, the reaction yield reaches more than 90% and the purity also exceeds 99%.
[0082] (3) Effect of different reaction solvents on reaction results The experimental results of Examples 1, 8, and Comparative Example 1 are summarized in Table 3.
[0083] Table 3. Effects of different reaction solvents on the reaction
[0084] As shown in Table 3, when methanol or a combination of ethanol and water is used as the reaction solvent, the yield of the target product is high (>75%) and the purity is excellent (>97%). In particular, when methanol and water are used as the reaction solvent, the yield reaches 91.1% and the purity reaches 99.64%. However, when isopropanol and water are used as the reaction solvent, the target reaction product cannot be obtained even after 24 hours of reaction. This indicates that methanol or a combination of ethanol and water can effectively promote the reaction when used as the reaction solvent.
[0085] (4) Effect of different volume-to-mass ratios of methanol and the compound shown in II on the reaction results The experimental results of Examples 1, 9-11 are summarized in Table 4.
[0086] Table 4 shows the effect of different volume-to-mass ratios of methanol and the compound shown in II on the reaction.
[0087] Note: The v / w (mL / g) refers to the volume-to-mass ratio of methanol to the compound shown in Formula II.
[0088] As shown in Table 4, when the volume mass ratio of methanol to the compound shown in Formula II is 6~12 v / w (mL / g), the yield of the target product is high (>80%) and the purity is excellent (>99%). In particular, when the volume mass ratio of methanol to the compound shown in Formula II is 8~12 v / w (mL / g), the yield reaches more than 90% and the purity also exceeds 99%.
[0089] (5) Effect of different reduction systems on reaction results The experimental results of Example 1 and Comparative Examples 2-4 are summarized in Table 5.
[0090] Table 5. Effects of different reduction systems on the reaction
[0091] As shown in Table 5, when Comparative Example 3 used the iron / acetic acid reaction system, the yield of the reaction product was significantly low (<70%) and the purity was poor (<21%). Further purification was required before subsequent reactions, making the operation complex and unfavorable for the industrial production of varenicline tartrate. While Comparative Example 4 used sodium borohydride for the reduction reaction, the product yield was relatively high, but the product purity was extremely low (<10%). Similarly, further purification was required before subsequent reactions, making the operation complex and unfavorable for the industrial production of varenicline tartrate. Although Comparative Example 2 used the palladium on carbon / ammonium formate system for the reduction reaction, the product yield was high and the purity was excellent. However, its reliance on the precious metal palladium, its high cost, and the environmental pollution caused by subsequent heavy metal treatment and emissions limit the application of this system in large-scale industrial production, thus hindering the production of varenicline tartrate. The present invention uses sodium dithionite for the reduction reaction, which avoids the use of the precious metal palladium. The yield and purity of the target product are comparable to those using palladium-based catalysts. Moreover, sodium dithionite is inexpensive and readily available, making it more suitable for the large-scale industrial production of varenicline tartrate.
[0092] In summary, this invention uses 2,3,4,5-tetrahydro-7,8-dinitro-3-(trifluoroacetyl)-1,5-methylene-1H-3-benzozaza as a raw material, and prepares 2,3,4,5-tetrahydro-7,8-diamino-3-(trifluoroacetyl)-1,5-methylene-1H-3-benzozaza by reduction with dithionite or its salt. This method eliminates the need for hydrogen pressurization and avoids the use of the heavy metal palladium. The reaction conditions are mild, the process is safe, and the cost is low. The target product has a high yield (>75%) and excellent purity (>97%), which is beneficial for the industrial production of varenicline tartrate.
