Problems solved by technology

However, there are many shortcomings in the homogeneous catalytic racemization method: catalyst recovery is difficult, and isobutylsuccinonitrile needs to be separated and purified through multiple steps such as extraction, pickling, filtration, and concentration after racemization, resulting in a large amount of waste acid and waste water.

Abstract

The invention relates to a racemization method of optical pure isobutyl butanedinitrile. The method comprises the steps of: mixing (S)-isobutyl butanedinitrile or (R)-isobutyl butanedinitrile with an organic solvent, adding a solid base catalyst, stirring for reaction for 1-10 hours at 20-50 DEG C, obtaining a reaction mixed solution after the reaction is finished, centrifuging, washing, recycling the solid base catalyst, combining centrifuged supernate and a washing solution, and recycling the organic solvent, the residual liquid being racemic isobutyl butanedinitrile. According to the method, the solid base catalyst is adopted for racemization in the organic solvent, the racemization speed is high, and the racemization yield reaches 90% or above. The racemic isobutyl butanedinitrile obtained by the method can be further used for enzyme catalysis reaction, the racemic catalyst is easy to separate and reusable, and the post-treatment is simple and environment-friendly. The method is simple, convenient and easy to operate, and can be applied to a large-scale racemizing and recycling process of optically pure isobutyl butanedinitrile in a process for synthesizing pregabalin by a nitrilase method.

Description

(1) Technical field [0001] The invention relates to a racemization method of optically pure isobutylsuccinonitrile. (2) Background technology [0002] Pregabalin, whose chemical name is (S)-3-aminomethyl-5-methylhexanoic acid, is a structural analogue of γ-aminobutyric acid developed by Pfizer. Pregabalin is one of the best-selling prescription drugs in the world and is widely used to treat post-herpetic neuralgia, epilepsy, anxiety disorders and other diseases. [0003] The process route of enzymatic splitting by nitrilase is one of the most competitive routes for the synthesis of pregabalin, which has the advantages of easy availability of raw materials, high atom economy, and less discharge of "three wastes" (ZL201810136409.4). When different selective nitrilase splits isobutylsuccinonitrile to synthesize optically pure 3-cyano-5-methylhexanoic acid, (R)- or (S)-isobutylsuccinonitrile can be obtained, wherein Pregabalin can be synthesized from (S)-3-cyano-5-methylhexano...
