A kind of preparation method who is used to prepare Intermediate of Eplerenone
Technical field
The present invention relates to the method for a kind of preparation eplerenone important intermediate 17 beta-hydroxies-7 α-carboxyl-3-oxo-17 α-pregnant steroid-4,9 (11)-diene-21-carboxylic acid-gamma lactone.
Background technology
The English popular name of eplerenone: Eplerenone; English chemistry is by name: 9 (11) α-epoxy-17 β-hydroxy-7 α-carbomethoxy-pregna-4-en-3-one-21-carboxylic acid, γ-lactone (formula 1).
Eplerenone mainly applies to the heart failure after essential hypertension is squeezed myocardial infarction, its main mechanism of action is by combining with aldosterone receptor, aldosterone in the blocking-up renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system (RAAS), thereby the effect that performance brings high blood pressure down.It can be by 17 beta-hydroxies-7 α-carboxyl-3-oxo-17 α-pregnant steroid-4,9 (11)-diene-21-carboxylic acid-gamma lactone (formula 2) through over-churning and epoxidation two-step reaction and obtain.
At present, existing technology, as U.S. Pat 6180780, provide the method for a kind of preparation Intermediate of Eplerenone 17 beta-hydroxies-7 α-carboxyl-3-oxo-17 α-pregnant steroid-4,9 (11)-diene-21-carboxylic acid-gamma lactone, when its committed step steroidal makes up in the process of 7 α carboxyls, have a large amount of prussic acid gases and discharge from reaction system, prussic acid gas is highly toxic substance, very harmful to environment and human body, so the suitability for industrialized production difficulty, to the equipment requirements height.This method route is loaded down with trivial details simultaneously, and total recovery is low, and problems such as the low difficult purifying of final product yield have also limited its use in suitability for industrialized production.
U.S. Pat 4559332 provides a kind of method, and this method is with Δ
9 (11)-canrenone is a raw material, adopts the reaction of Nagata hydrocyanation to utilize triethyl aluminum and hydrogenation dicyanogen system to obtain diethyl cyaniding aluminium fully and makes up alpha-cyano at 7, and cyan-hydrolysis obtains carboxylic acid subsequently.Wherein triethyl aluminum stores transportation and use existing problems, and prussic acid gas is highly toxic substance air and its sensitivity of water electrode (meeting air and water easy firing).Utilizing this method to obtain is 17 beta-hydroxies-7 α-carboxyl-3-oxo-17 α-pregnant steroid-4,9 (11)-diene-21-carboxylic acid-gamma lactone and 17 beta-hydroxies-7 β-carboxyl-3-oxo-17 α-pregnant steroid-4, the miscellany of 9 (11)-diene-21-carboxylic acid-gamma lactone, its ratio is about 4: 1.Must obtain product by column chromatography method, thereby be not suitable for suitability for industrialized production.
