Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of pharmaceutical manufacturing intermediates technology, and more specifically, to a method for synthesizing methoxyamine hydrochloride. Background Technology

[0002] Methoxyamine hydrochloride is an organic compound with the chemical formula CH6ONCl, and is a white or slightly yellow crystalline solid. It is an important chemical raw material used in the production of antibiotics such as cefuroxime axetil and phenoxyamine bactericides. Methoxyamine hydrochloride is also a pharmaceutical product commonly used in surgery to maintain or restore arterial pressure, particularly effective for reducing blood pressure caused by spinal anesthesia.

[0003] Currently, the main methods used to synthesize methoxyamine hydrochloride are: Ji Yongxin (Chemistry and Adhesion, 2001, 5, 200-202) introduced a synthetic route: sodium hydroxylamine sulfite is first synthesized by reacting sodium bisulfite and sulfur dioxide with sodium nitrite, followed by methylation, hydrolysis, and neutralization to form the product. This process requires the use of liquid sulfur dioxide and sodium nitrite, which are highly toxic and cause serious pollution. Furthermore, producing one ton of product generates more than ten tons of wastewater containing large amounts of sodium sulfate, as well as large quantities of nitrogen oxides and other waste gases, thus posing certain safety and environmental problems.

[0004] Han Shidong et al. (Zhejiang Chemical Industry, 2005, 36(9), 14-16) and Pan Zhongwen et al. (Fine Chemical Intermediates, 2007, 37(6), 17-18, 21) introduced a process for synthesizing alkoxyamines by hydrolysis of acetone oxime ether and O-alkyl phthalimide. The hydrolysis of acetone oxime ether requires continuous distillation of acetone in a distillation column to promote the reaction. Azeotropic dehydrating agents such as toluene and hexane are also added to help dehydration. Furthermore, it is not easy to control the side reactions generated during the hydrolysis process, which leads to a decrease in yield and an increase in cost.

[0005] Li Wenxiao et al. (Fine Chemical Raw Materials and Intermediates, 2007, 22-23, 29) introduced a process for preparing ethoxyamine by protecting N-ethylamine through oxime reaction of ethyl acetate and hydroxylamine, followed by ethylation with diethyl sulfate to generate ether, and then hydrolysis. In this process, after ethylation, impurities such as N-ethyl-O-ethylamine are removed by vacuum distillation. The product ethoxyamine is obtained by acid hydrolysis, neutralization, and distillation, with a yield of 85% and a product molar fraction of 98%. However, the process has problems such as difficulty in achieving the desired effect in removing impurities by distillation and difficulty in controlling the process conditions such as ethylation.

[0006] The invention patent application document CN101357895A, entitled "Method for Synthesizing Methoxyamine Hydrochloride", is basically the same as the method described by Li Wenxiao et al. above. Both of them have the problems of large investment and high recovery costs for ethanol and acetic acid, as well as long synthesis routes and complicated post-processing.

[0007] In view of the above, this application is hereby submitted. Summary of the Invention
