Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of pharmaceutical synthesis technology, specifically relating to a method for synthesizing sodium fosfomycin. Background Technology

[0002] Fosfomycin sodium is a broad-spectrum antibiotic with a unique chemical structure and antibacterial mechanism. It exerts its bactericidal effect by irreversibly inhibiting a key enzyme in bacterial cell wall synthesis (UDP-N-acetylglucosamine enolpyruvyltransferase, MurA). Due to its unique mechanism of action and lack of cross-resistance with other antibiotics, it is becoming increasingly important in the treatment of multidrug-resistant bacterial infections.

[0003] Currently, the classic industrial method for producing sodium fosfomycin is the Glankowski synthesis. This traditional route typically uses propynyl alcohol (a potentially explosive chemical) as a starting material, and the catalytic hydrogenation step often requires high-pressure hydrogen conditions, placing stringent demands on production equipment and posing significant safety hazards. Furthermore, it generates a racemic chlorohydrin intermediate through chlorohydroxylation, and finally, chiral resolution is necessary to obtain a single enantiomer with pharmacological activity. To overcome these drawbacks, the industry has been exploring safer, more efficient, and more environmentally friendly new synthetic routes. Summary of the Invention

[0004] To overcome the shortcomings of existing technologies, the present invention aims to provide a method for synthesizing fosfomycin sodium. This method offers a preliminary route for constructing a propenyl phosphate intermediate from inexpensive allylamine, avoiding the potentially explosive reagents such as propynyl alcohol involved in traditional Glankowski precursor synthesis. Although the embodiments of the present invention still employ the classic chlorohydroxylation-chiral resolution strategy for constructing the chiral center, its unique preliminary process route itself provides a new technical solution and option for the synthesis of fosfomycin sodium.

[0005] The objective of this invention is achieved through the following technical solution: A method for synthesizing fosfomycin sodium includes the following steps: (1) Allylamine was added to tetrahydrofuran, and tris(triphenylphosphine)carbonyl rhodium was added under an inert atmosphere at -78°C. The reaction was stirred to obtain intermediate 1-propen-1-amine. (2) Add intermediate 1-propen-1-amine to acetonitrile, add tetrabutylammonium iodide under an inert gas atmosphere at 20-25°C, stir to react, and obtain intermediate 1-iodo-1-propen; (3) Mix phosphorus trichloride and anhydrous aluminum chloride, heat at 60-70℃ for 30-40 min, then cool in an ice bath and add intermediate 1-iodo-1-propene. Stir for 1-1.5 h, then add potassium chloride and iron powder, continue stirring for 1-1.5 h, and distill to obtain intermediate 3. (4) Under ice bath conditions, intermediate 3 was added to thionyl chloride and reacted at 20-30°C. After the reaction was completed, thionyl chloride was removed by vacuum distillation to obtain intermediate 4. (5) Add intermediate 4 to water and reflux at 90-100℃ in an inert gas atmosphere to obtain intermediate 5; (6) Add intermediate 5 to water, add sodium hypochlorite at 0-5℃, stir and react to obtain 1-chloro-2-hydroxypropylphosphonic acid; then use (+)-α-phenylethylamine to resolve 1-chloro-2-hydroxypropylphosphonic acid to obtain intermediate 6; (7) Add intermediate 6 to an aqueous sodium hydroxide solution, stir to react, and purify to obtain the sodium fosfomycin.

[0006] This invention uses allylamine as a raw material and proceeds through isomerization, iodination, Michaelis-Arbuzov reaction, preparation of phosphonyl chloride, hydrolysis, chlorohydroxylation, chiral resolution, and intramolecular nucleophilic substitution cyclization reaction to finally obtain sodium fosfomycin.

[0007] Further, in step (1), the molar ratio of allylamine to rhodium tri(triphenylphosphine)carbonyl hydride is 1:(0.015-0.02); the stirring reaction time is 20-24 h.

[0008] Further, in step (2), the molar ratio of the intermediate 1-propen-1-amine and tetrabutylammonium iodide is 1:(2-2.5); the stirring reaction time is 2-4 h.

[0009] Further, in step (3), the molar ratio of phosphorus trichloride, anhydrous aluminum chloride, intermediate 1-iodo-1-propene, potassium chloride and iron powder is 1:(1.1-1.2):(1-1.1):(1.4-1.5):(1.07-1.25).

[0010] Further, in step (4), the molar ratio of intermediate 3 to thionyl chloride is 1:(1-1.1); the temperature is maintained at 10-15℃ during the addition of intermediate 3 to thionyl chloride; and the reaction time is 0.5-1 h.

[0011] Furthermore, in step (5), the ratio of intermediate 4 to water is 1 mmol: (5-6) mL; the reflux reaction time is 4-6 h.

[0012] Further, in step (6), the molar ratio of intermediate 5 and sodium hypochlorite is 1:(1.5-2); the stirring reaction time is 2-4 h; and the molar ratio of 1-chloro-2-hydroxypropylphosphonic acid and (+)-α-phenylethylamine is 1:(1.1-1.2).

[0013] Further, the separation process described in step (6) is as follows: 1-chloro-2-hydroxypropylphosphonic acid is added to an ethanol solution, (+)-α-phenylethylamine is added at 50-60 °C, the mixture is stirred for 0.5-1 h, and then cooled to 0-5 °C to grow crystals for 3-5 h to obtain the (+)-α-phenylethylamine salt of the target configuration. After recovering (+)-α-phenylethylamine and purifying, the solution is ready.

[0014] Further, in step (7), the ratio of intermediate 6 to sodium hydroxide aqueous solution is (90-100) mg: 1 mL; the concentration of sodium hydroxide aqueous solution is 10 mol / L; and the stirring reaction time is 5-6 h.

[0015] The present invention has the following advantages over the prior art: 1. This invention provides a novel route for constructing the key intermediate propenylphosphoric acid, using allylamine as a starting material, which differs from the traditional Glankowski process. This route avoids synthetic schemes starting from propynyl alcohol, thereby circumventing the use of potentially explosive chemicals at the source and improving the initial safety of the process.

[0016] 2. The overall synthetic route of this invention has a clear design logic, the reaction conditions of each step are relatively mild, no ultra-low temperature or ultra-high pressure are required, the operation is simple, the equipment requirements are not high, and it is easy to achieve safe and controllable large-scale industrial production.
