The invention relates to the technical field of
drug synthesis, and discloses a preparation method of a
lysine-specific
demethylase 1 (LSD1) inhibitor key intermediate, and the preparation method of the intermediate comprises the following steps: step 1,
esterification reaction: reacting a
compound A with a symmetric
carbonylation reagent X to generate an asymmetric
carbonate compound B; step 2, amine-ester exchange reaction: exchanging ester groups in the compound B with amine groups in the
compound C to generate an
amide compound D; step 3, cyclization reaction: converting carbonyl in the compound D into
epoxy substituent in the
compound E; and 4, fluorination reaction: reacting the
compound E with a fluorination
reagent, and carrying out ring opening to generate a
fluorine substituted compound F. The preparation method comprises the following steps: oxidizing a key intermediate of the LSD1 inhibitor, connecting the key intermediate with an amine fragment, and performing functional group modification to obtain the
fluorine-substituted cyclopropylamine compound with LSD1 inhibitory activity, thereby achieving the beneficial effect that the
fluorine-substituted cyclopropylamine compound with LSD1 inhibitory activity can be conveniently and quickly synthesized from the intermediate.
