Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of chemical production processes and relates to a method for preparing a highly efficient fluorescent label. By optimizing reaction conditions and process flow, the efficient preparation of sodium fluorescein is achieved. This method can improve the production yield and purity of sodium fluorescein, providing technical support for the industrial production of this compound. Background Technology

[0002] Fluorescein sodium, a highly efficient fluorescent label, is chemically named 9-(o-carboxyphenyl)-6-hydroxy-3H-xanthon-3-one disodium salt. It is used to treat and diagnose corneal injuries, ulcers, and foreign bodies, as well as for fundus angiography and circulation time measurement. It is also used for intraoperative visualization of the gallbladder and bile ducts, and as an adjunct to the diagnosis of tuberculous meningitis.

[0003] CN101270124B discloses a blend of fluorescein and sodium carbonate, which is dissolved in water on an evaporating pan, then heated to evaporate the water, vacuum dried, and ground to obtain sodium fluorescein. Water evaporation is a time-consuming and energy-intensive process, and the dried solid is not crystalline. When sodium fluorescein is separated from the aqueous solution, the precipitate is very sticky or tarry, sometimes brittle, requiring mechanical effort, and is difficult to filter and handle. Furthermore, it is difficult to remove moisture from the separating material, and extensive drying at high temperatures is required.

[0004] CN101628907B discloses a purification method in which sodium fluorescein is dissolved in an organic solvent, then treated with charcoal to achieve a pH of 8.7, and then the solution is concentrated by drying at 105°C. Drying at higher temperatures increases costs, the solid is not in crystalline form, multiple solvents are used for treatment, and sodium fluorescein is a hygroscopic material, highly soluble in aqueous solutions.

[0005] CN103288844A discloses a method for preparing fluorescein from resorcinol and phthalic anhydride. The fluorescent yellow solid is purified by acid and alkali treatment, then treated in water with sodium bicarbonate solution, and finally the water is evaporated to obtain the solid. However, the acid and alkali purification process involves additional wastewater treatment, making it very difficult or impossible to separate crystalline sodium fluorescein from an aqueous or water-containing solution.

[0006] WO2023037158A1 discloses a one-step method for preparing sodium fluorescein, in which diacetylfluorescein is hydrolyzed in methanol solvent under sodium hydroxide conditions, and then acetone is added to crystallize and obtain sodium salt. However, the crystallization process is very difficult, and crystals could not be precipitated by crystallization with acetone.

[0007] Therefore, the production process of sodium fluorescein still has some problems, such as unstable reaction conditions, difficulty in crystallization, low purity, and high cost. There is an urgent need to further study and improve the control of key processes, in order to provide a preparation method for sodium fluorescein that is different from the previous preparation process.

[0018] Step (4): Dissolve sodium hydroxide in purified water, add YYG-3 at 15℃~30℃, stir for 30min, filter, dry the residue, and obtain the finished product YYG fluorescein sodium.

[0041] The technical solutions in the embodiments of this application will be clearly described below with reference to the examples. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some, not all, of the embodiments of this application. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of this application are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0042] The method for preparing highly efficient fluorescent labels in this application includes the following steps:

[0043] (1) Resorcinol and phthalic anhydride are used as starting materials. The reaction proceeds under acidic conditions through Friedel-Crafts acylation, Michael addition, and dehydration to generate fluorescein (YYG-1).

[0044] (2) YYG-1 was acylated with acetic anhydride to prepare diacetyl product (YYG-2);

[0045] (3) YYG-2 was hydrolyzed under alkaline conditions and then acidified to obtain fluorescein (YYG-3);

[0046] (4) Sodium fluorescein (YYG) was prepared by converting YYG-3 into sodium salt.

[0047] Specifically, the present invention is implemented in the following manner.

[0048] Step 1: Resorcinol and phthalic anhydride are used as starting materials. Under acidic conditions, they undergo Friedel-Crafts acylation, Michael addition reaction, and dehydration to generate fluorescein (YYG-1).

[0049]

[0050] Specifically, phthalic anhydride (YYG-SM-A) and resorcinol (YYG-SM-B) are reacted in an 80% sulfuric acid aqueous solution by heating to 130℃~140℃. After the reaction is complete, purified water is added, and the mixture is cooled to crystallize. The crystals are then filtered, the solid is collected, and dried to obtain solid YYG-1.

[0051] In one embodiment of this step, the feed ratio of phthalic anhydride to resorcinol is greater than 1:1.8. In a specific embodiment of the present invention, the feed ratio of phthalic anhydride to resorcinol is from 1:1.8 to 1:3. Preferably, the feed ratio of phthalic anhydride to resorcinol can be 1:1.8, 1:2.0, 1:2.2, 1:2.5, 1:2.8, or 1:3. However, it is not limited to the listed values; other unlisted values ​​within this range are also applicable.

[0052] In one embodiment, the purified water volume is greater than 10V, preferably 16V, 17V, or 18V. Too little water results in a low yield, while too much increases equipment requirements. However, this is not limited to the listed values; other unlisted values ​​within this range also apply.

[0053] In one embodiment, the process of adding purified water is carried out at a temperature of not less than 90°C, which can prevent the system from clumping and solve the problem of material discharge blockage.

[0054] Step 2: YYG-1 undergoes an acylation reaction with acetic anhydride to obtain the diacetyl product (YYG-2).

[0055]

[0056] Specifically:

[0057] YYG-1 was reacted with acetic anhydride (an acylation reagent) at a ratio of 1:2.5-3.5, and then cooled to crystallize to obtain YYG-2.

[0058] Preferably, the YYG-1 / acetic anhydride feed ratio is 1 / 3.5, and the reaction time is 3 hours. When the YYG-1 / acetic anhydride ratio is 1 / 2.5, a relatively large amount of YYG-1 remains. However, when the amount of acetic anhydride is increased to 3.5 eq, HPLC monitoring after 3 hours shows that the remaining amount of YYG-1 is less than 0.1%, indicating an ideal reaction effect. Excessive use of acetic anhydride increases costs. Extending the reaction time to 5 hours does not significantly change the purity of the main peak, but after 7 hours, the purity of the main peak decreases noticeably.

[0059] In one embodiment, when the reaction temperature is 80–100°C, undissolved YYG-1 solid is detected in the reaction solution, indicating no reaction or an unsatisfactory reaction. In another embodiment, the reaction temperature is 120°C, the solid completely dissolves in the system, and after 2 hours of reaction, 0.1% of the raw material YYG-1 remains.

[0060] Step 3: YYG-2 is hydrolyzed under alkaline conditions and then acidified to obtain fluorescein (YYG-3).

[0061]

[0062] Specifically:

[0063] YYG-2 was reacted by adding a methanol solution of sodium methoxide dropwise to 2.5V methanol as solvent. Acetic acid was added, and the pH was adjusted to 3-4 with hydrochloric acid for the first time. Crystallization occurred, and the solid was filtered and dried. The obtained solid was added with purified water, and the pH was adjusted to 1-3 with hydrochloric acid for the second time. Then, it was heated to 95℃-100℃ and stirred for 15 minutes. The temperature was then lowered to 15℃-25℃ to crystallize. The solid was filtered and dried to obtain YYG-3.

[0064] The inventors further discovered that, in the process of preparing YYG-3, controlling the amount of sodium methoxide as feed, adjusting the pH value within a certain range, and using water to slurry can reduce the impurity content and improve the yield and purity of YYG-3 in this step.

[0065] Furthermore, this step allows for control of the sodium methoxide feed equivalent to improve yield and reduce impurity content. When the equivalent is insufficient, YYG-2 hydrolysis is incomplete, resulting in a lower yield and increased impurities. When the sodium methoxide feed equivalent is 5.0 eq, the impurity peaks are larger, increasing the difficulty of subsequent purification. Comparing 3.0 eq and 3.5 eq, the purity and the amount of unknown impurities are not significantly different. From a yield perspective, a sodium methoxide feed equivalent of 3.0 eq yields 78%; a sodium methoxide feed equivalent of 3.5 eq yields over 90%, even exceeding 95%. Therefore, a sodium methoxide feed equivalent of 3.5 eq is preferred.

[0066] In one implementation, the pH value is adjusted to approximately 3-4, such as 3.5, 3.6, 3.7, 3.8, 3.9, 4.0, 4.1, 4.2, etc.

[0067] In one embodiment, the pH value is adjusted a second time by about 1 to 2, preferably 1.0, 1.2, 1.5, 1.8, 2.0, etc.

[0068] During this preparation step, inorganic salts are generated. Without water washing, a large amount of inorganic salts may remain, affecting the quality of the finished product. Therefore, further, water slurrying is used to improve the yield and purity of YYG-3. Preferably, the amount of purified water used is >15V, such as 16V, 17V, 18V, etc.; more preferably, the amount of purified water used is 18V.

[0069] Preferably, the purity of YYG-3 is greater than 99.5%.

[0070] Preferably, the purity of YYG-3 is greater than 99.8%.

[0071] Preferably, the yield of YYG-3 is 70%-85%.

[0072] Preferably, the yield of YYG-3 is 75%-80%.

[0073] Step 4: Prepare sodium fluorescein (YYG) by converting YYG-3 into its sodium salt.

[0074]

[0075] Specifically:

[0076] Option 1. Dissolve sodium hydroxide reagent in purified water, add YYG-3 at 15℃~30℃, stir for 30min, filter, and dry the residue to obtain the finished sodium fluorescein YYG.

[0077] Option 2. Fluorescein (YYG-3) reacts with sodium methoxide reagent in methanol to form a sodium salt, and the solid is crystallized out in acetone to obtain the finished product YYG fluorescein sodium.

[0078] The inventors discovered that, under scheme 2, when multiple batches were used to form sodium salt in methanol with fluorescein (YYG-3) and sodium methoxide reagent, followed by acetone crystallization, solids could be successfully precipitated. However, the residual methanol and acetone solvents in the products exceeded the limits.

[0079] The inventors further discovered that the process of preparing YYG in Scheme 1 can ensure that the step is operable for scale-up pilot production, does not use organic solvents, does not cause solvent residue problems, and reduces production costs and organic waste liquid treatment.

[0080] In one embodiment, the sodium hydroxide feed equivalent is 1.0 eq-2.5 eq; preferably, the sodium hydroxide feed equivalent is 1.0 eq, 1.5 eq, or 2.0 eq. Insufficient equivalent may cause the product pH to be too low and unqualified; excessive equivalent may cause the pH to exceed the limit. Preferably, the pH is about 8.0.

[0081] In one embodiment, the preferred amount of purified water is 1.5 v. Too little water results in a viscous solution that cannot be filtered or transferred, while too much water increases the drying time.

[0082] In one embodiment, vacuum drying is preferred, with a drying temperature of 80°C. Excessively high temperatures increase equipment requirements and energy consumption.

[0083] In one embodiment, the drying temperature is preferably >100°C, such as 105°C, 110°C, 115°C or 120°C.

[0084] In one embodiment, preferred option 1 is as follows: Sodium hydroxide is dissolved in 1.5V water, YYG-3 is added, and the mixture is stirred until clear. The solution is concentrated under reduced pressure to remove 1 / 3 of the purified water. The remaining substance is poured into a drying tray while hot and dried under vacuum at 80°C to obtain YYG.

[0085] Preferably, the purity of sodium fluorescein is 99.5%.

[0086] Preferably, the purity of sodium fluorescein is greater than 99.8%.

[0087] Preferably, the purity of sodium fluorescein is greater than 99.9%.

[0088] Preferably, the prepared sodium fluorescein does not contain more than 0.05% of any related substances.

[0089] Preferably, the prepared sodium fluorescein does not contain more than 0.01% of any related substances.

[0090] Preferably, the yield of sodium fluorescein is greater than 90%, or even greater than 95%.

After drying for 8 hours, 1.0 g of the crystals was analyzed using a rapid moisture analyzer, and the moisture content was found to be less than 0.5%. 2.01 kg of a yellow solid was collected, with a yield of 73.1%.
