The preparation method of scheme for lacosamide
Technical field
The present invention relates to a kind of preparation method treating the scheme for lacosamide of epilepsy and neuropathic pain, be specifically related to a kind of preparation method that improve the improvement of the scheme for lacosamide of purity and yield.
Background technology
Scheme for lacosamide (lacosamide), chemistry (R)-2-Acetamido-N-benzyl-3-methoxypropionamide by name, be the novel N-methyl-D-aspartate receptor glycine binding site antagonist of Belgian UCB. S.A. (BE) Bruxelles Belgium exploitation, be mainly used in the assisting therapy of diabetic neuralgia and adults with epilepsy partial seizure clinically.This strain new type functional amino acid anticonvulsant drug, has dual anticonvulsant effect, the slow inactivation of alternative promotion sodium-ion channel, the reaction mediating proteins and regulation and control are subsided, thus delays even stop epileptic seizures and alleviate diabetic neuropathic pain.Scheme for lacosamide was successively gone on the market in European Union and U.S.'s approval in August, 2008 and October, trade(brand)name Vimpat.Scheme for lacosamide has two kinds of formulations to get permission listing: diaphragm (50,100,150 and 200mg/ sheet), injection (10mg/ml, 20ml/ props up), clinical study shows, its tolerance compared with other anticonvulsive drug is better, and untoward reaction (as drowsiness and cognitive and behavior disorder) is lighter.
Document discloses the synthetic method of four kinds of scheme for lacosamide: first method to comprise D-Ser through carbobenzoxy-(Cbz) protection, methyl iodide methylates, Ester hydrolysis, amidation, remove protection, obtained (R)-2-Acetamido-N-benzyl-3-methoxypropionamide (scheme for lacosamide) of N-acetylize, total recovery about 46%; Or methylate after first amidation, total recovery about 52%.This method reactions steps is more, enantiomeric purity more than 97%, and reagent cost is high, severe reaction conditions, and by product is more, must through purification by column chromatography, and enantiomeric purity does not reach requirement.Second method comprises N-tertbutyloxycarbonyl-D-Ser after dimethyl sulfate methylation of ester, isobutyl chlorocarbonate activation, generates (R)-2-t-butoxycarbonyl amino-3-methoxyl group-N-benzyl propionic acid amide; scheme for lacosamide is obtained again, total recovery about 5% through deprotection, N-acetylize.This method total recovery is lower, during preparation (R)-2-t-butoxycarbonyl amino-3-methoxyl group-N-benzyl propionic acid amide, by product is many, with chloroform: purity 97.3% after normal hexane (1: 9) recrystallization, but purification yield only 14.4%, is unsuitable for suitability for industrialized production (Ma Yinling, Zhao Feng, Zhang Kai, Liu Leina, Du Yumin. the synthesis of scheme for lacosamide. Chinese Journal of Pharmaceuticals .Chinese Journal of Pharmaceuticals 2009,40 (9); P641-643).The third method comprises D-Ser and acetic anhydride is generated acid amides, then through isobutyl chlorocarbonate activation, with benzylamine condensation under alkaline condition (as N-methylmorpholine), silver suboxide and methyl iodide methylate obtained, total recovery about 20%.This method synthetic route is simple, but expensive reagents, be unsuitable for suitability for industrialized production, and product section racemization (about 25%).4th kind of method comprises the cyclization under the catalysis of diethoxy triphenyl phosphine of D-Ser methyl esters and generates (R)-aziridine-2-methyl-formiate, then through N-acetylize, open loop, Ester hydrolysis, last and benzylamine reacts obtained, and total recovery is lower than 10%.This method complex operation, cost are higher, and total recovery is low.
In sum, the problem existing for existing scheme for lacosamide preparation method mainly scheme for lacosamide optical purity do not reach requirement and yield is low.
Therefore, at present in the urgent need to a kind of preparation method improving the improvement of scheme for lacosamide purity and yield.

3) silica gel catalyst method
Silica gel catalyst method adds toluene in reactant, after stirring, adds silica gel, reflux, after reaction terminates, is cooled to room temperature, filters, then clean silica gel with different solvents, after filtrate evaporate to dryness, purify further.
Silica gel catalyst method selectivity deprotection
The present invention preferably adopts concentrated hydrochloric acid method to be hydrolyzed N-protected base (at strong acidic condition, reaction yield is high), and temperature controls at 0 ~ 5 DEG C.
