Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention provides a method for preparing a tetrahydronaphtho[1,2-b]furan-2(3H)-one compound, belonging to the field of organic synthesis technology. Background Technology
[0002] Tetrahydronaphtho[1,2-b]furan-2(3H)-one compound, structural formula: Its Chinese chemical name is (3S,3aS,9bR)-8-(2-bromobenzyl)oxy)-3-((dimethyl)aminomethyl-6,9-dimethyl-3a,4,5,9b-tetrahydronaphtho[1,2-b]furan-2(3H)-one mesylate, and its English chemical name is (3S,3aS,9bR)-8-((2-bromobenzyl)oxy)-3-((dimethylamino)methyl)-6,9-dimethyl-3a,4,5,9b-tetrahydronaphtho[1,2-b]furan-2(3H)-one mesylate. It is an effective drug for the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis.
[0003] In Chinese patent CN111247132B, the preparation method is as follows: Compound 51 (i.e., compound 2 of the present invention) is prepared using the method of Example 1 of the patent, and compound 59 (i.e., compound 4 of the present invention) is prepared using the method of Example 4 of the patent: Compound (3aS,9bR)-8-(2-bromobenzyloxy)-6,9-dimethyl-3-methylene-3a,4,5,9b-tetrahydronaphtho[1,2-b]furan-2(3H)-one (compound 51) (1.0 g, 2.43 mmol, 1.0 eq) and dimethylamine hydrochloride (0.3 g, 3.64 mmol, 1.5 eq) are dissolved in 20 ml of ethanol, and triethylamine (0.37 g, 3.64 mmol, 0.51 ml, 1.5 eq) is added dropwise at 0°C. 0.5 eq), naturally heated to room temperature and stirred, monitored by TLC. After compound 51 was completely consumed, ethanol was removed by low-temperature vacuum distillation, followed by extraction with dichloromethane and water. The organic layer was washed with saturated brine, dried over anhydrous Na2SO4, and subjected to column chromatography (PE / EA = 20:1-EA) to obtain a white solid, which is compound (3R / S,3aS,9bR)-8-(2-bromobenzyloxy)-3-dimethylaminomethyl-6,9-dimethyl-3a,4,5,9b-tetrahydronaphtho[1,2-b]furan-2(3H)-one (1.1 g, 99%).
[0004] This preparation method produces high purity, but requires two column chromatography steps, which is not conducive to large-scale production. Furthermore, the product obtained by this method has a high content of isomers.
[0005] For chiral isomers, chiral column methods are commonly used for separation, such as those described in "Chromatic Chiral Separation Technology and Application" (Yuan Liming et al., 2020, Chemical Industry Press): chiral mobile phase additive method, chiral derivatization reagent method, chiral gas chromatography, etc. However, this method is expensive and not suitable for large-scale production.
[0006] For chiral isomers, since their molecular structures are mirror images of each other but cannot be superimposed, conventional achiral separation techniques are difficult to achieve effective separation. Therefore, chiral column-related techniques and supporting methods are commonly used in the industry for precise separation and purification. Among them, "Chromatographic Chiral Separation Technology and Application" (Yuan Liming et al., 2020, Chemical Industry Press) describes chiral mobile phase additive methods, chiral derivatization reagent methods, and chiral gas chromatography methods.
[0007] However, this type of separation method based on chiral columns has significant limitations: the preparation process of chiral stationary phase materials is complex and costly, and their service life is limited, with frequent replacements significantly increasing the cost of production consumables; at the same time, special solvents or auxiliaries are often required in chiral separation processes, and subsequent solvent recovery and treatment are difficult and environmental costs are high; in addition, the separation efficiency of chromatography is affected by various parameters such as flow rate and temperature, and problems such as unstable separation effect and limited production capacity are prone to occur during large-scale production. Therefore, overall, it is not suitable for industrial-scale production scenarios.
[0008] Patent WO2021143853A1 discloses a tetrahydronaphtho[1,2-b]furan-2(3H)-one compound and its crystal form study, and its reaction route is as follows:
[0009] .
[0010] The patent describes a method that, after three recrystallizations following the reaction, yields compound VII with a yield of only 72%. Furthermore, VII contains 90% S-configuration and 10% R-configuration, requiring three more recrystallizations to obtain a compound with a single S-configuration. This patented preparation method generates numerous isomers during the process, increasing purification difficulty and reducing yield. Summary of the Invention

[0041] The reaction route of this invention:
[0042] The tetrahydronaphtho[1,2-b]furan-2(3H)-one compound is compound 4.
[0043] Example 1: A method for preparing a tetrahydronaphtho[1,2-b]furan-2(3H)-one compound. The preparation method is as follows: Step 1: Preparation of Compound 2. Prepare a 100L reactor. Add THF (tetrahydrofuran) and Compound 1 (1.0 eq) to the reactor and stir. The ratio of Compound 1:THF is 1 g:50 mL. Add resorcinol (polymerization inhibitor, 0.1 eq) and adjust the temperature to 30°C. Dropwise add a THF solution of TBAF (tetra-n-butylammonium fluoride, 3.0 eq), maintaining the temperature at 30°C. TBAF solution preparation: Add 1 mL of THF to every 1 g of TBAF and stir until dissolved. After the addition is complete, stir at 30°C for 3 hours. HPLC analysis shows that Compound 1 is ≤1 wt%.
[0044] After the reaction was complete, the reaction solution was concentrated under reduced pressure at 45°C until no distillate was obtained. After concentration, the concentrate was extracted twice with ethyl acetate, THF, and purified water. The organic phase was collected, and resorcinol (0.1 eq) was added and stirred for 5 minutes. The organic phase was then concentrated under reduced pressure at 45°C until no distillate was obtained.
[0045] MTBE was added to the concentrate until dissolved, and the mixture was stirred and transferred to a 50L reactor. n-Heptane was added dropwise to the reactor, and stirring continued for 2 hours. The reaction mixture was filtered, and the filter cake was washed with a mixed solvent of MTBE and n-heptane. The mixed solvent was prepared as follows: MTBE and n-heptane were mixed in a 1:1 volume ratio. The filter cake was collected and dried at 50°C for 2 hours to obtain compound 2.
[0046] Step 2: Preparation of compound 3.

Adjust the temperature to 30℃, and add 2M dimethylamine THF solution dropwise, with a compound 2:2M dimethylamine THF solution ratio of 1g:0.1mL, maintaining the temperature at 30℃. After the addition is complete, stir at 30℃ for 16 hours. Take 1ml of the reaction solution and perform HPLC analysis to determine that the ratio of compound 2 to compound 4 is ≤1%. After the reaction is complete, concentrate under reduced pressure at 40℃ until no distillate remains. Extract with ethyl acetate and water, collect the upper organic phase, and extract again with saturated sodium chloride aqueous solution.
[0048] The organic phase was transferred to a reaction vessel and stirred. The temperature was adjusted to 30°C, and L-DTTA (L-di-p-methylbenzoyl tartaric acid, 1.0 eq) was added. Stirring was continued for 1 hour. As stirring continued, solids gradually precipitated. The reaction solution was filtered, and the filter cake was washed with ethyl acetate. The filter cake was transferred to a reaction vessel, and an aqueous acetone solution (5 wt% water content) was added, with a filter cake: 5 wt% water content acetone ratio of 1 g: 3 mL. The temperature was raised to 40°C, and the mixture was stirred for 2 hours. The mixture was then cooled to 20°C. The reaction solution was filtered, and the filter cake was washed with acetone. The filter cake was transferred to a vacuum oven and dried under vacuum at 50°C for 6 hours.
[0049] Step 3: Preparation of crude compound 4.

Adjust the temperature to 10℃. Add a 10wt% potassium carbonate aqueous solution (5.0 eq), maintaining the temperature at 10℃. After the addition is complete, continue stirring for 20 minutes. Stop stirring, separate the layers, and collect the upper organic phase. Extract the lower aqueous phase with ethyl acetate and collect the upper organic phase. Combine the organic phases and extract twice with purified water. Collect the upper organic phase, dry it with anhydrous sodium sulfate, filter, wash the filter cake with ethyl acetate, and collect the filtrate.
[0051] Transfer the filtrate to a 100L reactor and start stirring. Adjust the temperature to 20℃. Add dropwise a 10wt% methanesulfonic acid (1.0 eq) ethyl acetate solution, maintaining the temperature at 20℃. After the addition is complete, continue stirring for at least 0.5 hours, maintaining the temperature at 20℃. Filter, collect the filter cake and transfer it to a 100L reaction flask. Add acetone with 5wt% water content, the ratio of filter cake: acetone with 5wt% water content = 1g: 5mL. Maintain the temperature at 40℃ and stir for 1 hour, then cool to 20℃. Filter, wash the filter cake with acetone, dry at 30℃ for 4 hours, then heat to 50℃ and dry for 6 hours.
[0052] Step 4: Purification of compound 4.
[0053] Prepare a 100L reactor. Add acetone with a water content of 5wt% to the reactor, then add crude compound 4 (compound 4 crude product: acetone with a water content of 5wt% = 1g: 5mL). Stir at 40℃ for 3 hours. Cool to 20℃, filter, and wash the filter cake with acetone. Collect the filter cake and dry at 50℃ for 2 hours.
