Background
Abacavir (Abacavir) and its sulfate are human immunodeficiency virus nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors developed by GlaxoSmithKline, UK. Abaca Wei Shanfang formulations Ziagen were marketed 1999, after which the compound formulations were also marketed in batches. Abacavir is one of the important components of current multi-drug combination cocktail therapies.
Amino-4, 6-dichloro-5-carboxamido pyrimidine (FADCP) is an important intermediate for synthesizing abacavir, and according to the existing domestic and foreign patent and literature reports, the method for synthesizing FADCP mainly comprises the following three steps of:
The first method is to prepare 2-amino-4, 6-dihydroxypyrimidine by cyclization reaction and nitrosation and reduction reaction of diethyl malonate and guanidine hydrochloride as raw materials to prepare 2, 5-diamino-4, 6-dihydroxypyrimidine hydrochloride (DADHP). The chloride is prepared from DADHP, DMF and phosphorus oxychloride by Vilsmeier reaction. Under acidic conditions, through multi-step hydrolysis, FADCP is obtained. However, the overall yield of FADCP from DADHP was only 27.6%. The same reaction, glaxoWellcom company patent US5917041A, discloses a yield of 52.3%. To increase the yield, patent US6271376B discloses a reaction scheme for preparing 2, 5-diamino-4, 6-dichloropyrimidine from DADHP by chlorination, and then reacting with formic acid to obtain FADCP. Although the formylation reaction yield reaches 90%, the chlorination reaction yield is still lower than 65%.
The second method is to prepare FADCP by multi-step reaction by taking diethyl 2-oximinomalonate and guanidine hydrochloride as raw materials.
The third method is that 2-amino malonate hydrochloride or its derivative and guanidine hydrochloride are used as raw materials, and then the product is directly cyclized to obtain DADHP, and then hydrolyzed to obtain FADCP. The raw materials used in the second method and the third method are unusual raw materials, so that the sources are few, and homemade is needed.
