The synthesis route of compound PGS032210, which has antagonist activity to CXCR3 and the related diseases, was optimized. It presented an un-expensive, less synthetic steps and higher yield synthetic protocol.From benzaldehyde, after condensation reduction, amination, deprotection, cyclization, reduction by AlLiH4, functional group protection, hydrogenation all 7 steps, it affords the key intermediates of tert-butyl-2-ethyl-5-methylpiperazine-1-carboxylate.1-(4-Chloro-benzoyl) piperidin-4-one was synthesized from 4-chlorobenzoyl chloride and piperidin-4-one. The another intermediates of methyl 5-chloro-6-methylpyrazine-2-carboxylate was synthesized from (Z)-2,3-diaminobut-2-enedinitrile and 2-oxopropanoic acid by cyclization, hydrolysis decarboxylation, esterification, chlorination. The final product was obtained by coupling with the two key intermediates, after de-protection and further coupling with 1-(4-chlorobenzoyl)-piperidin-4-one, then reacted with hydrazine hydrate, amidation and cyclization. The yield was improved, the cost was reduced and the process was optimized in the whole process of 14 steps. |
