Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of pharmaceutical chemistry, and particularly to a method for synthesizing 4-chloropyrrolopyrimidine analog compounds or their derivatives. The method includes methods for synthesizing compounds of 6-amino-5-(2-hydroxyethyl)pyrimidine-4-ols and their derivatives, as well as compounds of 4-hydroxypyrrolopyrimidines and their derivatives.
Background Art
[0002] 4-Chloropyrrolopyrimidine analogs are widely used in the pharmaceutical field as important intermediates for many drugs such as tofacitinib, rucotinib, and baricitinib. The currently disclosed synthetic processes for 4-chloropyrrolopyrimidine analog compounds include the following methods.
[0003] Method 1: Synthesizing 4-chloropyrrolopyrimidine analogs using 4,6-dihydroxypyrimidine as a raw material (US2010190981). It is shown as in the following formula 1. This synthetic method has problems such as a long step, a high price of the starting material, low utilization efficiency of the raw material, and a low total yield.
Chemical Formula
[0004] Method 2: Synthesizing 4-chloropyrrolopyrimidine analogs using ethyl cyanate as a raw material (PCT2010014930). It is shown as in the following formula 2. This synthetic method has a long synthetic route, a strong irritation of the used sulfhydryl-methacrylic acid, and at the same time, the addition reaction has a certain risk, a high cost, and is disadvantageous for large-scale production.
Chemical Formula
[0005] Method 3: Using starting materials such as ethyl cyanate, 2-bromomethyl-1,3-dioxypane, and methylacetylhydrodiamine, a 4-chloropyrrolopyrimidine analog (CN105622616A) is obtained through three sequential reactions: α-alkylation, cyclization, and chlorination. This is shown in Equation 3 below. This synthetic route has the problem of easily generating two molecules of impurities and having a relatively low yield of α-alkylation. In addition, the main starting material, 2-bromomethyl-1,3-dioxypane, is expensive, resulting in a high cost.
