The invention belongs to the field of pharmacy, in particular to a tapentadol carbamate derivative with a general formula I, pharmaceutically acceptable salts, a preparation method and an application thereof. In the invention, the structure of phenolic hydroxyl groups in tapentadol molecules is improved by a chemical synthesis method, and proper carrier groups are introduced in the position to synthesize carbamate type prodrug. All amines adopted by the carbamate are fatty amines, wherein dimethylamine or methylamine fragments can generate demethylation metabolism easily in vivo, thereby being convenient for releasing raw tapentadol. Meanwhile, the existence of the carbamate structure increases the chemical stability of the prodrug and can obviously improve the oral bioavailability, reduce the administration dosage and lower the toxic side effect, and the tapentadol carbamate derivative can be further developed into novel tapentadol analgesics.

The invention discloses a synthetic method of tapentadol. The method comprises the following steps: reacting meta-substitution cinnamic acid serving as a starting material with a chiral adjuvant to obtain amide; reacting the amide with a nucleophilic reagent and an electrophilic reagent, and introducing two chiral centers to obtain a chiral product; performing reduction and deprotection on the chiral product to obtain chiral alcohol; performing an amination reaction and a substitution reaction on the chiral alcohol to obtain the tapentadol. The tapentadol is synthesized by taking cheap and readily-available (1R,2R)-psedo-ephedrine as the chiral adjuvant, forming two chiral centers by using a one-pot method and performing simper deprotection and subsequent transformation. By adopting the synthetic method, the reaction route can be simplified, post-treatment steps can be reduced, and the production cost is reduced. The synthetic method is more suitable for industrial application.
