Problems solved by technology

[0006] The disadvantages of this route are: (1) methyl ketene, a highly toxic drug, is used in the route, which is highly irritating to the eyes, skin and upper respiratory tract, and is difficult to purchase and transport, so it is not suitable for industrial production; (2) three-step reaction one The pot method is used, the intermediate is not separated, it is not conducive to process control, and the quality is difficult to guarantee
[0009] The disadvantages of this route are: (1) the highly poisonous methyl ketene is used in the route, which is not suitable for industrial production; (2) the post-treatment is relatively cumbersome, requiring multiple extraction operations, and the yield is low, only 47.7%

Abstract

The invention belongs to the technical field of medicines and relates to a method for preparing an important intermediate {2-[(5-chlorobenzoxazole-2-yl)-(3-one-butyl)-amino]ethyl}-tert-butyl carbamate. A highly toxic product methyl vinyl ketone is substituted by a compound with low toxicity, and due to catalytic reactions of DBU, LDA, NaHMDS, KHMDS and the like, a compound of a formula (3) can be obtained at high yield of 90% or higher. Moreover, the HPLC (high performance liquid chromatography) content of the crude product reaches 99.5% or higher, and the method disclosed by the invention is suitable for industrial production.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of medicine and relates to a preparation method of an important intermediate, in particular to {2-[(5-chlorobenzoxazol-2 base)-(3-keto-butyl)-amino]ethyl The preparation method of}-tert-butyl carbamate. Background technique [0002] Suvorexant is a dual orexin receptor antagonist newly developed by Merk, which can help patients improve sleep by blocking orexin that makes it difficult for people to fall asleep. At present, phase III clinical research has been completed, and the research found that it can reduce the sleep initiation time, improve the sleep quality of patients, have few side effects, and is suitable for long-term treatment. Suvorexant is expected to become the first marketed orexin receptor antagonist for the treatment of insomnia. Its structural formula is as follows: [0003] [0004] {2-[(5-Chlorobenzoxazol-2yl)-(3-keto-butyl)-amino]ethyl}-carbamic acid tert-butyl ester is an important ...
