This invention discloses a mabofloxacin intermediate, belonging to the field of
drug synthesis technology. First, aminomethylamine and
methyl formate are condensed at low temperature to generate MBX-1. Then, a fluoroquinolone core is constructed using a stepwise process of high-temperature
acylation condensation, low-temperature
nucleophilic substitution, and intermediate-temperature cyclization to obtain MBX-6. Next, in an optimized
toluene system, N-methylpiperazine is introduced into the core via high-temperature
nucleophilic substitution. After multi-step purification, MBX-7 is obtained. Finally, the
quinolone skeleton is reconstructed through an integrated
alkaline hydrolysis-acid-catalyzed cyclization process, followed by temperature-controlled recrystallization purification to obtain mabofloxacin intermediate MBX-9. This invention achieves high-purity, low-residue, and high-yield preparation of mabofloxacin intermediates by establishing a DMF-free green
solvent system and a precise
temperature control strategy. This effectively solves the industrialization problems of excessive residues, increased
side reaction impurities, and low overall yield caused by the use of hazardous solvents in existing technologies.
