[0017] The application has the following beneficial effects: In summary, the application provides an intermediate product and a preparation method thereof, and the intermediate product is applied to the preparation of 4-oxa-7-azaspiro[2.5]octan-6-one, which is an important starting material for the synthesis of anti-influenza virus drugs and analogs thereof. Compared with the existing method (patent CN119101009A), the preparation method of the application has improved atomic economy, process safety, operation simplicity and production cost, and the core advantages are reflected in the following three aspects: (1) Innovative design of key steps: replacing high-risk and inefficient acylation steps with mild and efficient condensation reactions. In step 3 of this invention, a haloacetate is innovatively used as the alkylating agent, replacing the chloroacetyl chloride used in step 4 of the existing method. This successfully introduces the key methylene and carbonyl structural units into the six-membered ring of 4-oxa-7-azaspiro[2.5]oct-6-one. Chloroacetyl chloride is a reactive acylation agent with irritant and corrosive properties, increasing operational and safety risks. Furthermore, the acylation step in the prior art has low yield and poor atom economy. By applying the relatively mild haloacetate, this invention improves the yield of this step and ensures its process safety, thereby reducing operational risks in the production process.
[0018] (2) Comprehensive benefits of benzyl removal: low cost, high quality, and environmentally friendly Compared to existing methods, this invention adjusts the debenzylation step in step 4 to after the hydroxyalkylation step, thus avoiding the possibility of exposed hydroxyl groups chelating with the palladium catalyst. Therefore, this step only requires a small amount of catalyst (0.05 w / w) to obtain a high-yield, high-purity intermediate product, thereby reducing the potential risks of metal residues to product quality and the surrounding environment. It also provides feasibility for subsequent catalyst recovery, laying the foundation for a green, high-quality, and low-cost route.
[0019] (3) Ingenious optimization of cyclization strategy: replacing intramolecular cyclization under strong base action with sterically hindered cyclization. In the key cyclization reaction for preparing 4-oxa-7-azaspiro[2.5]oct-6-one based on the aforementioned intermediate product, the rational design of the third step transforms the cyclization mechanism from the sterically hindered and weakly nucleophilic tertiary alcohol condensation reaction in existing technologies to a reaction between a primary amine and an ester. The cyclization step of this invention has strong thermodynamic driving force and low requirements for acid and base environments; only a weak base or acid is needed, and cyclization can be efficiently completed by heating in an alcohol. This method not only avoids the use of strong bases (such as t-BuOK), simplifies feeding and post-processing operations, but also improves the final yield, thereby greatly reducing production costs and highlighting the application potential of this method in industrial scale-up.
[0020] In summary, the preparation method provided by this invention reduces or avoids the use of palladium catalysts and the use of hazardous reagent chloroacetyl chloride in existing processes, making the synthetic route safer and more environmentally friendly. By improving the yields of the two key reactions, condensation and cyclization, the overall yield of the synthetic route is 64.20%, which is nearly double that of existing processes. Furthermore, the operation steps are simplified, resulting in a reduction of material costs and production costs of more than 70% compared to previous processes. This provides a more advantageous, green, and efficient synthetic route for the preparation of 4-oxa-7-azaspiro[2.5]octane-6-one.
