Embodiment 1

[0042] (1) Potassium tert-butoxide (5.6 g, 0.05 mol) was dissolved in 120 mL THF. The reaction solution was cooled to 5° C. in an ice bath, and a solution of diethyl propylmalonate (10.1 g, 0.05 mol) in THF (30 mL) was quickly dropped into it. After dropping, keep the reaction at 5°C-10°C for 1h. Chloromethylbenzyl ether (7.8 g, 0.0 mol) in THF (tetrahydrofuran, 20 mL) was added dropwise, and the temperature was controlled at 5°C to 10°C. After dropping, keep the reaction at 5°C-10°C for 1h. Sampling and testing showed that the reaction was complete. Add 10 mL of water to quench the reaction, add 30 mL of 1N hydrochloric acid, and extract and separate layers with 100 mL of EA (ethyl acrylate). The organic phase was successively washed with water, saturated sodium bicarbonate and saturated sodium chloride, dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate, filtered and spin-dried to obtain intermediate A colorless liquid 16g, ESI(M+1)=323.

The reaction solution was cooled to 5° C. in an ice bath, and a solution of diethyl propylmalonate (2.0 g, 0.01 mol) in THF (10 mL) was quickly dropped into it. After dropping, keep the reaction at 5°C-10°C for 1h. Chloromethyl methyl ether (0.8 g, 0.01 mol) in THF (tetrahydrofuran, 10 mL) was added dropwise, and the temperature was controlled at 5°C to 10°C. After dropping, keep the reaction at 5°C-10°C for 1h. Sampling and testing showed that the reaction was complete. Add 10mL of water to quench the reaction, add 10mL of 1N hydrochloric acid, extract with 20Ml*3EA (ethyl acetate), combine the organic phases, wash with water, saturated sodium bicarbonate, and saturated sodium chloride successively, dry over anhydrous sodium sulfate, filter and spin dry , to obtain intermediate A colorless liquid 2.5g, ESI(M+1)=247.

Abstract

The invention discloses a preparation method for (R)-4-propyl-4,5-dihydrofuran-2-one. The preparation method comprises the following steps: subjecting a carboxylic acid compound to chiral resolution so as to obtain an R-configuration carboxylic acid compound and an S-configuration carboxylic acid compound; and separately subjecting the R-configuration carboxylic acid compound and / or the S-configuration carboxylic acid compound to a reaction so as to obtain (R)-4-propyl-4,5-dihydrofuran-2-one. According to the preparation method, a synthetic route is ingeniously designed, and the two opticallypure isomers obtained through chiral resolution of the carboxylic acid compound are separately utilized by different reaction routes, so the target compound is eventually prepared; and the method improves the utilization rate of the isomers while ensuring optical purity and eliminates the cumbersome steps of racemization and re-splitting of the other half of the isomers.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to the preparation method of Bu Waracetam intermediate. Background technique [0002] Brivaracetam is a third-generation antiepileptic drug developed by UCB in Belgium. On February 19, 2016, it was approved by the FDA for the adjuvant treatment of partial seizures in adolescents and adults aged 16 and over. [0003] (R)-4-Propyl-4,5-dihydrofuran-2-one is an important intermediate in the synthesis of brivaracetam. [0004] Benoit M. (J.Med.Chem.2004, 47, 530-549) reported the reaction of 2(5H)-furanone with propylmagnesium bromide to obtain 4-propyl-4,5-dihydrofuran-2- Ketone, and then further synthesize the reaction route of buvaracetam. However, this synthetic route generates a racemate, and the final product needs to be separated by chiral preparation, which is costly. [0005] CN105646319A discloses that lactone is obtained by reacting malonate diester with epichlorohydrin, and then reacted with ethyl metal reagent,...
