The invention belongs to the technical field of chemical
pharmacy, and relates to a synthetic method of (R)-2-(2, 5-difluorophenyl)
pyrrolidine. The synthesis method comprises the following steps: (1) carrying out
dehydration condensation reaction on a compound as shown in a formula 1 and a
chiral induction reagent (R) tert-butylsulfinamide to obtain a compound as shown in a formula 2; (2) carrying out
addition reaction on the compound in the formula 2 and a
Grignard reagent to obtain a compound in a formula 3; (3) carrying out a reduction / cyclization reaction on the compound shown in the formula 3,
trifluoroacetic acid and
triethylsilane to obtain a compound shown in a formula 4; (4) splitting the compound shown in the formula 4 by (D)-
malic acid to obtain the (R)-2-(2, 5-difluorophenyl)
pyrrolidine*D malate compound with EE being greater than 98% shown in the formula 5; and (5) dissociating the compound in the formula 5 with a
sodium hydroxide solution to obtain (R)-2-(2, 5-difluorophenyl)
pyrrolidine. By utilizing the synthetic method of (R)-2-(2,5-difluorophenyl)pyrrolidine, the cost is low, the optical purity is high, the subsequent
separation process is simplified, the raw materials are easy to obtain, the
process conditions are mild, and the synthetic method is suitable for synthesizing (R)-2-(2, 5-difluorophenyl) pyrrolidine in large-scale production.
