Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of green preparation technology of steroidal compounds, and specifically relates to a method for preparing a fluorocalcitriol intermediate. Background Technology

[0002] Fluorostrigol was launched in Japan in 2001 for the treatment of secondary hyperthyroidism. It is an analogue of calcitriol, but with perfluorination at C-26 and C-27, enhancing its antioxidant capacity and ability to induce cell differentiation. While calcitriol readily causes hypercalcemia and hyperphosphatemia, fluorotricostrigol effectively inhibits parathyroid hormone and does not cause an increase in serum calcium and phosphorus levels.

[0003] 26,26,26,27,27,27-Hexafluoro-25-hydroxycholesterol is an important intermediate in the synthesis of fluorotriol. Patent US4248791 discloses a two-step method for the synthesis of 26,26,26,27,27,27-Hexafluoro-25-hydroxycholesterol.

[0004] The reaction process is as follows: .

[0005] The n-butyllithium (n-BuLi) used in this route is highly reactive and reacts violently with water and air. It is a flammable and explosive high-risk reagent, requiring extremely high standards for storage conditions, feeding operations, and equipment airtightness, as it can easily cause fires, explosions, and other safety accidents. Metallic potassium also has strong reducing properties and reacts violently with water, releasing flammable and explosive hydrogen gas, further amplifying the safety risks of the process. Hexafluoroacetone gas is highly toxic, and if leaked, it can damage the respiratory system and skin of operators, while also imposing stringent standards on ventilation and protective facilities in the production site.

[0006] Kobayashi et al. reported (Journal of the Chemical Society, Chemical Communications, 1980, 11(35):459-460) a method for synthesizing 26,26,26,27,27,27-hexafluoro-25-hydroxycholesterol, with the following reaction formula: .

[0007] This route uses sodium amalgam, a hazardous mercury-containing compound. It not only has strong reducing properties and readily reacts violently with many substances, but the mercury it contains is also highly toxic and bioaccumulative, posing a serious threat to the health of operators. Furthermore, the mercury-containing waste generated after the reaction is extremely difficult to dispose of and can easily cause persistent environmental pollution. Therefore, it is not suitable for industrial production. Summary of the Invention
