Problems solved by technology

The 1,6-didehydro-17a-hydroxyprogesterone production process uses relatively expensive and toxic DDQ and chloranil dehydrogenation agents to dehydrogenate the 1-position and 6-position of the 17a-hydroxyprogesterone molecule respectively, The quality of the product obtained after each step of reaction treatment is poor, and all need to be treated with a large amount of alkaline water, resulting in more waste water, which is not easy to handle and easily pollutes the environment; the production process is complicated to operate, and the total yield of the two-step synthesis is less than 45%, and the production cost is high. More importantly, with the depletion of wild yam plant resources, and the artificial planting of yam plants, the production costs of saponin and dienes have doubled due to the increasing cost of labor and chemical fertilizers, resulting in 1,6- The production cost of didehydro-17a-hydroxyprogesterone has further increased, resulting in an increase in the production cost of CPA

Abstract

The invention provides a method for preparing 1,6-bi-dehydrogenized-17a-hydroxy progesterone. The method comprises the following steps: firstly, adopting a nutrient medium and one or more microbial strain for performing microbial fermentation on phytosterol, thereby acquiring 1,4-androstenedione, namely, IDD; taking IDD as a raw material and reacting with acetone cyanohydrins in a first organic solvent under the condition of base catalysis, thereby acquiring hydroxyl cyanide; preparing the 1,6-bi-dehydrogenized-17a-hydroxy progesterone by using the hydroxyl cyanide under the existence of methyl magnesium halide, second organic solvent and acid. Compared with the traditional production method which uses diosgenin as the raw material, the method using IDD as the raw material according to theinvention has the advantages of extensive source of raw material, economical and environment-friendly process, greatly reduced production cost, and the like; in the invention, high-cost and toxic DDQand chloranil dehydrogenating agent are no longer used; solvents used in the process are recyclable, economical, environment-friendly and beneficial to industrial production.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the preparation technology of steroid hormone drug intermediates, and in particular relates to a method for preparing 1,6-didehydro-17a-hydroxyprogesterone. Background technique [0002] Cyproterone acetate, referred to as CPA, commonly known as cyproterone, the chemical name is 6-chloro-1.2a-methine-17a-hydroxy-pregna-1,4-diene-3,20-di Ketone-17-acetate is a kind of progestin drug, which is mainly used clinically for female contraception, female acne, and the treatment of hirsutism and alopecia caused by excessive male androgen secretion, and is also used for male benign The treatment of diseases such as prostatic hypertrophy and early prostate cancer has a huge market. The production method of CPA is to extract diosgenin from the yam plant, and obtain the key intermediate 17a-hydroxyl by 8-step reactions such as protection, oxidation, cracking, elimination, epoxidation, austenitic oxidation, bromination, and debromination. ...
