Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] (CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS) This application claims priority to Chinese Patent Application No. 202310959686.6 filed on August 1, 2023 (title: Method for preparing bedaquiline by continuous flow at low temperature and product prepared by this method), the entire contents of which are incorporated herein by reference. The present invention relates to a process for preparing bedaquiline by continuous flow at low temperature and to the products prepared by this process. [Background technology]

[0002] Tuberculosis (TB) is an infectious disease caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mycobacterium tuberculosis) and is the single pathogen responsible for the highest number of deaths (approximately 1.6 million people per year). Bedaquiline was approved by the FDA in 2012 for the treatment of multidrug-resistant and rifampicin-resistant tuberculosis (MDR / RR-TB). In 2018, the WHO reclassified bedaquiline as a first-line treatment for long-term treatment of MDR / RR-TB. The stereoselective construction of the Csp3-Csp3 bond at the consecutive chiral centers in this drug molecule is extremely challenging, and its high price remains due to the lack of an efficient industrialized synthesis route. Therefore, improving the production process, reducing synthesis costs, and enabling low-income individuals to afford the drug are urgent issues.

[0003] The original patent for the synthesis of β-quinoline (patent number CN101180302B) discloses a one-step synthesis method in which 6-bromo-3-benzyl-2-methoxyquinoline is deprotonated at the benzylic position with lithium diisopropylamide (LDA) at low temperature, followed by addition of 3-dimethylamino-1-naphthyl-1-acetone to obtain a mixture of four enantiomers of β-quinoline. The reaction mixture is then concentrated, treated with ethanol, and further resolved using the chiral resolving agent (R)-binaphthol phosphate to obtain β-quinoline (BDQ), although the overall yield is very low (7-9%). Furthermore, due to the efficiency of asymmetric catalytic synthesis, methods for obtaining β-quinoline using asymmetric catalytic synthesis have attracted the attention of scientists. Shibasaki and Chandrasekhar reported the construction of the first chiral carbon by asymmetric catalytic synthesis, followed by the construction of the second chiral carbon by asymmetric synthesis. However, all of these routes have problems such as multiple reaction steps, low yields, and high manufacturing costs. In 2020, a South African research group used a C2-symmetric chiral amine ligand to improve the diastereoselectivity of BDQ to 9:1 (ACSOmega 2020, 5, 3607-3611). They then used chiral resolution to obtain the optically pure target compound, but the product yield did not improve. Recently, Jamison et al. used fluid chemistry (Chem.Eur.J. 2022, e202201311) to improve the yield of this reaction route and obtain a mixture of four isomers. However, this technical solution still does not achieve efficient synthesis of the target product. Recently, Professor Zhang Wanbin's team at Shanghai Jiao Tong University published a strategy for the asymmetric synthesis of bedaquiline (Sci.ChinaChem.2022, 65, 1968-1977). Based on this synthetic route, they developed two routes for the asymmetric synthesis of bedaquiline using their own Li / Li bimetallic cooperative activation strategy. The results of the kettle-type reaction were 81% yield, 1.4:1dr, 91%ee, and 22% yield, 16:1dr, >99%ee, respectively.The synthesis of bedaquiline through the above reaction still has the technical problem of low yield, and in the post-treatment process, column chromatography is required to obtain a product with a purity of more than 99%, and is limited to the traditional kettle reaction process, which requires a long reaction time, complicated operations, is prone to impurities, and has safety issues due to the use of active butyllithium reagent.

[0004] Therefore, the conventional bedaquiline synthesis technology still has technical defects such as low yield, long production cycle, high cost, complicated operation, and low safety, etc. Therefore, the development of a new bedaquiline synthesis technology has important research significance and application value.

[0043] The inventors have found through research that, although dissolving 6-bromo-3-benzyl-2-methoxyquinoline in feed solution A and then mixing it with feed solution B to react does not have a significant effect on the reaction mechanism, the large amount of material in the reaction phase increases the viscosity of the fluid, which can result in clogging the continuous flow line, destroying the device, and preventing the reaction from proceeding.

[0044] Based on the common knowledge of the art, each preferred embodiment of the present invention can be obtained by arbitrarily combining each of the above preferred conditions.

[0045] All reagents and raw materials used in the present invention are commercially available products.

[0046] The beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows: In the present invention, the entire reaction phase of feed liquid A is used as a catalyst, and bedaquiline is prepared by combining a low-cost, high-reaction-efficiency asymmetric synthesis route with continuous flow technology. This avoids problems such as difficult temperature control and time-consuming dropwise addition and stirring that occur in conventional kettle-type reactions, shortens the production cycle, reduces the risks posed by active lithium reagents, and achieves a high yield. Furthermore, by preparing bedaquiline using the preparation method of the present invention, the purity of pure bedaquiline can reach 99.8% or more with just a simple work-up of the resulting mixture after the quenching reaction, which reduces operating costs and is highly suitable for industrial production and has important application value.

[0047] Furthermore, compared to Route A in the asymmetric synthesis strategy for bedaquiline by Professor Zhang Wanbin's team at Shanghai Jiao Tong University (Sci. China Chem. 2022, 65, 1968-1977), the process of the present invention requires only about 3 hours to input 100 g of raw materials each time and achieve the same yield or purity, whereas the method in this literature requires a reaction time of 37 hours.

[0049] The present invention will be described in detail below with reference to specific examples. The following examples are intended to help those skilled in the art to further understand the present invention, but are not intended to limit the present invention. Those skilled in the art may make some modifications and improvements without departing from the spirit of the present invention. These modifications and improvements are also within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0050] In the following examples, as known to those skilled in the art, enantiomeric excess is a measure of the purity of a chiral substance and indicates the degree to which one enantiomer is more abundant than the other in a sample. Purity is measured by HPLC using a Chiralpak AD-H chiral chromatography column manufactured by Daicel Corporation, with chromatographically pure isopropyl alcohol and n-hexane. dr values ​​are measured by nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy (400 MHz or 500 MHz) using CDCl3 as the solvent. In the following examples, the equiv value for each compound represents the molar ratio of this compound to 6-bromo-3-benzyl-2-methoxyquinoline.

[0051] Example 1 The flow chart of the process for preparing bedaquiline by continuous flow at low temperature according to Example 1 is shown in FIG.

[0052] Step S1: A dry 5-L reactor was charged with 10.5 g (245 mmol, 2.9 equiv) of lithium chloride, 38.3 g (178.5 mmol, 2.1 equiv) of (1S,2R)-2-amino-1,2-diphenylethanol, 23.9 mL (213 mmol, 2.5 equiv) of N-methylpiperazine, and 600 mL of anhydrous tetrahydrofuran. Then, 150 mL (375 mmol) of a 2.5 M (2.5 mol / L) n-butyllithium n-hexane solution was added at −20° C., and the mixture was reacted for 30 minutes to obtain feed solution A. 27.9 g of raw material 1 (in the following examples, raw material 1 refers to 6-bromo-3-benzyl-2-methoxyquinoline) (85 mmol) was placed in a 5 L single-neck flask, and 750 mL of anhydrous tetrahydrofuran was added and mixed uniformly to prepare feed solution B. The raw material 2 (3-dimethylamino-1-naphthyl-1-propanone) (26.9 g, 102 mmol) was placed in a 5 L one-necked flask, and 750 mL of anhydrous tetrahydrofuran was added thereto and mixed uniformly to prepare feed solution C. Here, the flow rate of feed liquid A was 15 mL / min, the flow rate of feed liquid B was 15 mL / min, and the flow rate of feed liquid C was 15 mL / min.

[0053] Step S2: Feed solution A and feed solution B were pumped into the first micro reactor tube to carry out a first continuous flow reaction, yielding reaction solution D. The reaction temperature T1 was set to -20°C, and the reaction residence time t1 was set to 5 min.

[0054] Step S3: Reaction solution D and feed solution C were pumped into the second micro reactor to carry out a second continuous flow reaction, with the reaction temperature T2 set to -60°C and the reaction residence time t2 set to 3 min.

[0055] Step S4: Quenching: The reaction solution from step S3 was drained from the second microreaction tube and introduced into 2 L of saturated ammonium chloride solution for quenching, with the quenching temperature T3 being −60° C. The reaction solution after quenching was collected to obtain a mixture containing bedaquiline.

[0056] Step S5: Post-treatment: Extraction, recrystallization and slurrying

[0057] Extraction: The mixture was extracted with ethyl acetate (3 times * 1 L) in a 5 L reaction vessel, and the organic phase was collected to obtain the crude product.

[0058] Recrystallization: The extraction solvent was removed to obtain a filtrate, and a saturated solution of the filtrate and the recrystallization solvent was prepared and crystallized. The extraction solvent was removed by precipitating the organic phase after extraction using a rotary evaporator and filtering the filtrate. The crystallization method involved cooling the saturated solution of the filtrate and the recrystallization solvent, precipitating crystals from the supersaturated solution, filtering the filtrate, and then rotary drying the filtrate. The cooling temperature was -20°C to -15°C. Specifically, the organic phase after extraction was subjected to rotary evaporation using a rotary evaporator. When a solid precipitated, the evaporation was stopped and the mixture was left overnight to precipitate the first solid, which was then suction filtered to obtain the filtrate. The filter cake was washed with n-hexane. Most of the filter cake consisted of diastereomers and ligands. An equal amount of n-hexane to the organic solvent was added to the filtrate, which was then cooled. Crystals were precipitated from the supersaturated solution, which was then suction filtered until most of the filtrate was the desired product. The filtrate was then rotary dried to obtain the second solid.

[0059] Slurrying: The second solid was mixed with ethanol, slurried at room temperature for 12 hours, filtered under suction, the filter cake was washed with n-hexane, and dried under vacuum at room temperature to obtain pure bedaquiline.

[0060] Nuclear magnetic resonance analysis of the crude product showed that the dr of bedaquiline in the crude product was 1:1, with a yield of 95%. The ee value of bedaquiline obtained by HPLC was 60%. The yield was calculated using the formula: yield = x * y / n, where triphenylmethane was used as the internal standard and the integral of the characteristic peak of the internal standard was set to 1, x = the integral of the characteristic peak of the product, y = the number of moles of the internal standard, and n = the molar amount of starting material 1.

[0061] The obtained pure bedaquiline was a white solid, and the purity of bedaquiline in the pure product was ≧99.8% and the content of single impurities was <0.1% as detected by HPLC. The structural property data of bedaquiline are as follows: 1 H NMR (400MHz, CDCl3): δ8.89(s,1H),8.60(d,J=8.8Hz,1H),7.96(d,J=2.0Hz,1H),7.90 (d,J=7.2Hz,1H),7.87(d,J=8.4Hz,1H),7.71(d,J=8.8Hz,1H),7.66-7.59(m,3H),7.5 1-7.46(m,1H),7.30(t,J=8.0Hz,1H),7.16-7.12(m,2H),6.88-6.87(m,3H),5.89(s,1 H),4.21(s,3H),2.54-2.50(m,1H),2.13-2.00(m,2H),1.97(s,6H),1.95-1.90(m,1H)

[0062] Example 2 The flow chart of the preparation method of bedaquiline according to Example 2 is shown in FIG.

[0109] As a result of HPLC detection, the purity of bedaquiline in the pure product was ≥99.8% and the single impurity was <0.1%. 1H NMR (400MHz, CDCl3): δ8.89(s,1H),8.60(d,J=8.8Hz,1H),7.96(d,J=2.0Hz,1H),7.90 (d,J=7.2Hz,1H),7.87(d,J=8.4Hz,1H),7.71(d,J=8.8Hz,1H),7.66-7.59(m,3H),7.5 1-7.46(m,1H),7.30(t,J=8.0Hz,1H),7.16-7.12(m,2H),6.88-6.87(m,3H),5.89(s,1 H),4.21(s,3H),2.54-2.50(m,1H),2.13-2.00(m,2H),1.97(s,6H),1.95-1.90(m,1H)

[0110] In Example 12, compared with Example 2, the amount of anhydrous tetrahydrofuran in each reaction phase was smaller, which corresponds to changing the concentration of materials during the reaction process and shortening the residence time in the reactor, which resulted in some fluctuations in the reaction results and lower yields and ee values. However, after recrystallization of the product, a product with purity that met the requirements was finally obtained.

[0111] Example 13 Example 13 was the same as Example 2, except that the volume of tetrahydrofuran used in step S1 and the quenching temperature in step S4 were changed.

[0112] Step S1: A dry 5 L reactor was charged with 10.5 g (245 mmol, 2.9 equiv) of lithium chloride, 38.3 g (178.5 mmol, 2.1 equiv) of (1S,2R)-2-amino-1,2-diphenylethanol, 23.9 mL (213 mmol, 2.5 equiv) of N-methylpiperazine, and 1.25 L of anhydrous tetrahydrofuran. Then, 150 mL (375 mmol) of a 2.5 M n-butyllithium solution in n-hexane was added at −20° C., and the mixture was reacted for 30 minutes to obtain feed solution A. 27.9 g of raw material 1 (85 mmol) was placed in a 5 L single-neck flask, and 1.5 L of anhydrous tetrahydrofuran was added thereto. The mixture was mixed uniformly to prepare feed solution B. 3-Dimethylamino-1-naphthyl-1-propanone (2) (26.9 g, 102 mmol) was placed in a 5 L one-neck flask, and 1.5 L of anhydrous tetrahydrofuran was added thereto and mixed uniformly to prepare feed solution C. The flow rate of feed solution A was 15 mL / min, the flow rate of feed solution B was 15 mL / min, and the flow rate of feed solution C was 15 mL / min. The reaction residence time of the first continuous flow reaction in step S2 was set to t1 = 10 min. The reaction residence time of the second continuous flow reaction in step S3 was set to t2 = 6 min. The quench temperature in step S4 was set to -60°C.

[0113] Nuclear magnetic resonance analysis revealed a dr of 1:1 for the crude bedaquiline, with a yield of 94% (triphenylmethane as an internal standard). HPLC analysis revealed an ee of 89% for bedaquiline.

[0114] As a result of HPLC detection, the purity of bedaquiline in the pure product was ≥99.8% and the single impurity was <0.1%. 1 H NMR (400MHz, CDCl3): δ8.89(s,1H),8.60(d,J=8.8Hz,1H),7.96(d,J=2.0Hz,1H),7.90 (d,J=7.2Hz,1H),7.87(d,J=8.4Hz,1H),7.71(d,J=8.8Hz,1H),7.66-7.59(m,3H),7.5 1-7.46(m,1H),7.30(t,J=8.0Hz,1H),7.16-7.12(m,2H),6.88-6.87(m,3H),5.89(s,1 H),4.21(s,3H),2.54-2.50(m,1H),2.13-2.00(m,2H),1.97(s,6H),1.95-1.90(m,1H)

[0115] In Example 13, compared with Example 2, the dosage of anhydrous tetrahydrofuran in each reaction phase was higher, which corresponds to changing the concentration of materials during the reaction process, and the residence time in the reactor was longer, and the achieved yield and ee value were both better.

[0116] Example 14 Example 14 was the same as Example 4, except that the flow rate of each feed solution and the reaction residence time were changed.

[0117] The flow rates of feed liquid A, B, and C were set to 12 mL / min, 12 mL / min, and 12 mL / min, respectively. The reaction residence time of the first continuous flow reaction was t1 = 4 min, and the reaction residence time of the second continuous flow reaction was t2 = 2.4 min.

[0118] Nuclear magnetic resonance analysis revealed that the dr of bedaquiline in the crude product was 1:1.2, with a yield of 87% (triphenylmethane as an internal standard). HPLC analysis revealed that the ee of bedaquiline was 76%.

[0120] In Example 14, compared with Example 4, the flow rate in each reaction phase was lower, the residence time in the reactor was shorter, and the achieved yield and ee value were all lower, and the dr value was also lower. Although the results obtained by changing the flow rate conditions during the reaction process varied to some extent within the range of error, after recrystallization of the product, a product with purity that met the requirements was finally obtained.

[0121] Example 15 Example 15 was the same as Example 4, except that the flow rates of feed liquid A, feed liquid B, and feed liquid C were 20 mL / min, 20 mL / min, the reaction residence time of the first continuous flow reaction was t1 = 3 min, and the reaction residence time of the second continuous flow reaction was t2 = 2 min.

[0123] As a result of HPLC detection, the purity of bedaquiline in the pure product was ≥99.8% and the single impurity was <0.1%. 1 H NMR (400MHz, CDCl3): δ8.89(s,1H),8.60(d,J=8.8Hz,1H),7.96(d,J=2.0Hz,1H),7.90 (d,J=7.2Hz,1H),7.87(d,J=8.4Hz,1H),7.71(d,J=8.8Hz,1H),7.66-7.59(m,3H),7.5 1-7.46(m,1H),7.30(t,J=8.0Hz,1H),7.16-7.12(m,2H),6.88-6.87(m,3H),5.89(s,1 H),4.21(s,3H),2.54-2.50(m,1H),2.13-2.00(m,2H),1.97(s,6H),1.95-1.90(m,1H)

[0124] Example 16 Example 16 was the same as Example 4, except that the reaction temperature T1 of the first continuous flow reaction was -10°C and the reaction temperature T2 of the second continuous flow reaction was -50°C.

[0125] Nuclear magnetic resonance analysis showed that the dr of bedaquiline in the crude product was 1:1, with a yield of 88% (triphenylmethane used as an internal standard). HPLC analysis showed that the ee of bedaquiline was 74%.

[0127] In Example 16, T1 and T2 were both higher, and the achieved yield and ee value were both slightly lower than in Example 4. This is because the results obtained by changing the temperature conditions during the reaction process vary to some extent within the margin of error.
